Ridley Scott Explains Why PROMETHEUS 2 Has Become An ALIEN Movie
Earlier today, Ridley Scott revealed the surprising Alien themed title of Prometheus 2, but what led to the change? The Martian director explains that here, and it sounds like the sequel will be tied closely into the 1979 classic. Read on for details!
Earlier today, Ridley Scott revealed that the Prometheus sequel will be titled Alien: Paradise Lost. That came as a major surprise, especially as Neill Blomkamp is supposed to be working on the fifth instalment of the franchise. So, why Alien: Paradise Lost? "Well, because we're heading back to why and how and when the beast was invented," the filmmaker told HeyUGuys earlier tonight. "We'll go back into the back door of the very first Alien that I did thirty years ago." It sound like the movie will do what Prometheus didn't and actually start linking up to the events of that sci-fi classic then, but what do you guys hope we see? Weigh in with your thoughts and theories below.
