Ridley Scott Says We Could Possibly Get Three More PROMETHEUS Films Before The Next ALIEN Movie
It's true! In Ridley Scott's latest interview, he reveals that we could possibly receive three more films in the Prometheus franchise, before we switch gears back to the Alien franchise! What does this mean for Neil Blomkamp's Alien 5? Check out all the details HERE...
With Prometheus 2 scheduled to begin filming this February, director Ridley Scott revealed - in an interview with German website FilmFutter, that the Prometheus franchise will extend quite a bit before we can get back to Ripley and her adventures with the deadly Xenomorphs! How much of an extension are we talking? Well, according to Scott, we could possibly lay eyes on three more films! "Yes. But it won’t be in the next one. It will be in the one after this one or maybe even a fourth film before we get back into the Alien franchise." Ridley said referring to Prometheus' connection with the Alien films.
So, if these films were to be made, what would they consist of? Would it reveal just how the very first Xenomorph was created? Or would it go even deeper and reveal why the Engineers created the humans, and suddenly wanted to destroy them? I'm sure you have many more questions, ask do I, but the one big question a lot of people are asking is - What does this mean for Neil Blomkamp's Alien 5? Will we no longer see that?
Luckily, Ridley Scott touched up on that, and revealed that his job is to pave the path to the Alien films and answer many questions along the way. "The whole point of it is to explain the Alien franchise and to explain the how and why of the creation of the Alien itself. I always thought of the Alien as a kind of piece of bacterial warfare." He then added, "I always thought that that original ship, which I call the Croissant, was a battleship, holding these biomechanoid creatures that were all about destruction.
So, before we begin to create more storylines for the Alien creature, we must find out its origin, and everything around it! At least that's what Ridley Scott is suggesting! Will Noomi Rapace & Michael Fassbender appear in all of these films? Who knows, but I'm sure that all will be answered in due time! Are you ready to lay eyes on three more Prometheus films? I know I am! Share your thoughts in the comment section below!
