While a sequel to last year's heavily divisive sci-fi epic Prometheus is in the works, it appears that we will see characters from the Ridley Scott-directed film again sooner rather than later. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the movie will be brought into the comic book world courtesy of Dark Horse. "We're brewing something up that I think the fans of Ridley Scott's amazing film will really like," publisher and founder Mike Richardson tells THR. He also confirmed that an unnamed artist is on board the project, and that a full announcement will be made soon. Earlier today, Bleeding Cool reported that characters and other elements from Prometheus will be added to a new ongoing Alien comic book series. It appears that we can expect official news on the project in a couple weeks at San Diego Comic-Con. What do you think of this news?

Prometheus isn't a bad movie by any means. Just some bad writing on some parts. Loved the android and Noomi's character though.

I really like a sequel.

STILL whining about not understanding Prometheus eh? Lmfao, whatever....Well I understood it, and just as with ANY sci-fi flick, you gotta have people do stupid things or nothing interesting would happen. DUH. It is science FICTION, remember? Oh nevermind, it's like trying to explain logic to a female.

It was beautifully shot, that you can't argue with. I'd like a sequel if for nothing but to see where it goes next. I really didn't think it was bad at all.

There needs to be a sequel so that they can answer the questions that they purposely didn't answer in Prometheus. I still enjoyed Prometheus nonetheless but I was let down by it, it should have been better than what it was but instead marred by poor characters and silly dialouge. Nevetheless the film is still an entertaining one.

Sequel needs to be a dual narrative, Weylands contingency team head to LV-233(can easily do a retcon where you see Weyland organise this prior to the events of Prometheus) and encounter the "deacon" Xenomorph whilst Shaw and David go to Paradise for answers and this time get them.

@Ocelot, I hadn't even thought of the dual story idea with weyland, that's really good it would give us a litter more of the deacon and maybe even a sign of its evolution into the xenomorph. The stuff with shaw and David on the engineer home world would be cool. I can't wait to see more of the actual culture sir Ridley Scott created for these species. It's like the engineer in alien was the curtain, prometheus pulled it back just a bit, and the sequel will completely pull the whole thing off. I'm a huge prometheus and alien fan but that dosent mean I'm blind to the flaws of prometheus, they need to make shaw more likeable like Ripley if you want this to be your main character for what will presumably be a trilogy until it ties back to alien at the end of #3. Write better dialogue for the characters and don't make the new blah ones they will presumably introduce in #2 charicatures and stereo types aka cannon fodder for the deacon and engineers. Make us care about the characters before you kill them. It will make it all that muh more impactful. I also I hope Ridley keeps the same stunning vision that was In the first as far as the visuals, sets, and locations go. The hills of Iceland in the opening of the original was absolutley stunning and so was the claustrophobic research facity of LV 423. Anywho sorry for the rant I just can't wait for a sequel to prometheus.

I liked Prometheus but not sure if the comic books should be sequels to the film.

I really enjoyed Prometheus! I didn't set up my expectations to impossible heights like so many did. I didn't see it as a philosophical exploration of mankind's existence, just an explanation for the beings that created the Aliens. I like the twist that the Aliens actually might not have been created had we not interfered.

It was terrible, filled with stupid holes and insane motivations for characters that went beyond common sense.

But its purpose was to reboot a dying franchise for a studio so they can have a Ripley version 2, Alien species version 2 and lots of new make-it-up-as-you-go movies to sell merchandise from to fanboys who simply want reasons to part with their money.

..this would be one of them.

Why would Aliens that created us come back to visit us as cavemen and give us interstellar directions to one of their bases on a planet not even their own home world, where they are building weapons of mass destruction. What possible use would that information be to a caveman who has no ability of flight let alone deep space travel?

There is planning ahead and then there is being ridiculous.


Why would scientists be terrified of 1000 year old dead alien bodies, yet be compelled to try and stroke a lie alien snake like creature? The reason is because the script was written like a teen horror flick where characters simply have to do stupid things to contrive a death scene for the audience.

There was just too many silly things in this pretentious movie that was simply beyond common sense. It's just written to sell merchandise and keep idiots going back for more movies hoping the next production team will answer the questions left over by the last Writer and Director.

@CeeJay
Why is it so difficult for the blatant (in my opinion) suggestion that the Engineers at the beginning are of a religious sect, trying to further their race through the creation of us, while the Engineers depicted later are of a military faction? It was pretty obvious to me. So given that assumption (and there's a lot of guesswork, which is partly why I enjoyed the film so much), why WOULDN'T they come back to cavemen to give them clues how to save their future? Seems completely simple to me, but hey, I like films that make me think and question my views.

And about the "alien snake-stroking"....um, THEY'RE ALIENS. Why should we just assume they're like life on our planet? Maybe there was some "reverse-snake-charmer" shit going on? Hypnotism of some variety, or something like that. It's called using that thing inside of your skull to think outside of it. If you need everything in film spoonfed to you, that's just sad. But I understand, because I'm open-minded and realize there aren't a lot of us around :)
