Prometheus was a box office hit this summer. Its global gross is $402 million, and with Blu-ray and DVD sale, it will make some more money. So, it's no secret that studio wants a sequel, which is now happening for sure. Talking to Metro, director Ridley Scott gave an update on what we will see in the next chapter:

"Prometheus evolved into a whole other universe. You’ve got a person [Noomi Rapace’s Elizabeth Shaw] with a head in a bag [ Michael Fassbender’s David] that functions and has an IQ of 350. It can explain to her how to put the head back on the body and she’s gonna think about that long and hard because, once the head is back on his body, he’s dangerous. They’re going off to paradise but it could be the most savage, horrible place. Who are the Engineers?"

Scott also addressed his involvement with the upcoming Blade Runner sequel:

"It’s not a rumour – it’s happening. With Harrison Ford? I don’t know yet. Is he too old? Well, he was a Nexus-6 so we don’t know how long he can live [laughs]. And that’s all I’m going to say at this stage."

Interesting. Very interesting. I'm down for Prometheus sequel, as I really liked the first film. With Blade Runner, I'm definitely optimistic about the new film, as long as Scott is directing.

what the engineers we thought we knew were actually just engineered creations of the real engineers?

Prometheus needs a sequel (and maybe a third or fourth filml. It needs to answer all of the questions Alien left behind.

Why are they even talking about making sequels to Blade Runner it is a scifi movie classic and doesn't need a sequel. Also did he just give away the whole meaning of the movie whether or not Ford's character was really a replicant or not.

Sweet, enjoyed Prometheus a lot more than I thought I would going in, it's one of those films that makes you think about it more and more after viewing, and in turn, more thinking in general; sorry if you didn't happen to get it, your loss :P

It'll be interesting to see if they tie the Bladerunner sequel in with Prometheus in anyway through Weyland. Either way, I'm stoked for both

Prometheus was good, but it was no Sphere.

Sphere was abyssmal(pun intended), and there's nothing wrong with thinking, Dionysios. It's what people that have more to do than b!tch about a movie they didn't like on the internet do. Something to think about.

I'm looking forward to the Premetheus sequal, and as long as Riley Scott is directing Blade Runner 2, I'm cool with that.

Decker was confirmed as a replicant in the 90's by Scott.

It was around the time they released a 12" action figure of the character, I believe it was Toyfair that interviewed him.

Asked him if Decker was a replicant and he was like "Yes, blah blah blah." MIGHT not be the exact quote, but he definitely confirmed it.

Describing Blade Runner as a ''shit movie' is F**KING BLASPHEMY.

Prometheus was terrible. Wax poetic on "It really makes you think" bullshit all you want, it was a poorly constructed, poorly written, under developed waste of time. It has a single philosophical question, "Why are we here?" that it never makes ANY headway into answering. All the other questions are plotholes or out of (terrible) character moments. Wasteful, pretentious, lazy movie.

A person with an android head in a bag... Sounds like Lexx, maybe Scott ran out of ideas. And please leave Blade Runner alone.

@titansupes

That's your opinion, and you're entitled to it. But that doesn't take away anything those of us that enjoyed the movie feel about it. Once again, your OPINION. Prometheus actually revitalized my faith in Ridley Scott, I had all but written him off since Gladiator, and when I heard he was filming Prometheus for 3D, I was sure it was gonna be crap. I was wrong. IMHO;)

"Sounds like Lexx,"

Yeah, I read somewhere that Scott spends his free time travelling the world & watching episodes of that ol' show on youtube. :P

@titansupes

.........^__^..........

^You have to decode my reply to you. No you you don't, here it is: the sequel to both Bladerunner and Prometheus will be found footage and contain time travel elements. :P

@Tony93

I didn't think about that. On the special features for the '07 dvd/blu ray release there is a featurette(haven't watched it since '07) that shows how they took Harrison's son and morphed his face onto Deckards to fix the scene that always had the noticeably bad ADR. That(the Tron: Legacy idea) might actually be a concept for the sequel.., that is if Ridley plans on making Deckard mortal or some twist on the tale that makes him a unique replicant without an expiration. Hmmm.

I'll admit it's been a while since I've watched Blade Runner, but damn if I get were he was a replicant. Was he suppose to be an older model?? I mean, hell, the others absolutely whipped his ass!! Was he the Arnold of the terminators???

I can't believe that Ridley Scott lost his brother Tony last month, and all you can think about is will he direct this or that. You need to let Ridley have some time to console his family and grieve. Leave him alone right now.

Deckard being a replicant was an afterthought..... Deckard was human.
