Chappie director Neill Blomkamp is currently lined up to direct a new Alien, and while he has already suggested he’s disregarding Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection, it seems he won't be doing the same for for Ridley Scott's Prometheus series. "I changed the one thing [Scott] felt was bumping Prometheus a little bit. One thing that makes me feel good about it is that Ridley is producing it. He likes the idea of what I want to make." The Chappie director then reveals that he sent the title to Ridley Scott and says  "It's kinda quite bold, but it gives away too much if I say the title. But in the event that it doesn't work, I'm dead in the water."

Along with this reveal Blomkamp also reiterates his disappointment in Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection saying, "Where it went after 'Aliens' to me, as a fan, was wrong. There’s a shitload missing as a fan that I would want to see."

Why do we need a Prometheus 2? Was anyone asking for it? I think FOX should just focus on this new Alien movie and the Predator reboot they having coming out with Shane Black.

I like Prometheus, it's a good movie if you don't think of it as a Alien spin off.

I liked Pometheus. I think peopple are harder on it bc its affiliated with alien and bc it doesnt measure up with the first two they see it way les than what it is. People need to be more objective about it and judge it on its own merits. Once you do that its a pretty solid movie.
