Speaking to Collider, Damon Lindelof - who is involved in such upcoming projects such as Prometheus and the untitled Star Trek sequel - talks in detail about both projects. He says that his work on Trek 2 is now full-time (and J.J. Abrams is working hard on the film now as well), explaining that they want to make the sequel the way they did the first film. He also says that Prometheus is being designed 'to make people think', and comments briefly on working with director Ridley Scott. He's asked if he would ever do a Star Wars related project if asked, as well as whether or not he'd be involved in a future Star Trek TV show.



Here's the run-down of the video if you don't feel like watching it:

:50 – If he was asked to do Star Wars, would he do it
3:25 – How much times does he think about it before he tweets
5:05 – Prometheus talk. What should people be looking forward to…”it’s designed to make people think…and I hope it does.”
7:35 – Alien Harvest question. After asking it…my friend told me it’s a script going around the net that is fake. He wanted me to get him to say it was a fake
8:00 – How is the Star Trek sequel coming along. Says it’s now his full time job and that J.J. is also just doing Trek 2 right now. Also says, “I feel like the bar we’ve set for ourselves is that it has to be better than the first movie. It has to justify itself for being a sequel and it has to go in a direction that you don’t entirely expect but feels familiar enough to sort of honor the forty years of tradition that people have invested in this incredible pop culture phenomenon. The challenge is immense and all I can say is…we’re on it.”
9:38 – If he was asked to do a Star Trek TV show would he do it

Prometheus hits theaters June 8th, 2012, while the Star Trek sequel is scheduled to arrive sometime next year!
