Unconfirmed Prometheus 2 Development Details
The people behind the website called NexusNews claim to have insider information on the development of the Prometheus sequel. This information is unconfirmed and thus it should be taken with a BIG grain of salt especially at this stage of the game. Here’s their report on the matter:
According to our insider information: Prometheus 2 is under works, and it planned for a 2014/2015 release. The filming will start shortly this year. Currently they are at the Planning stage, where they lay out the entire plan on how to film the movie in the proper order and how to achieve some of the special effects described in both the scripts (currently in progress) and the concept arts. Later this year there would be production videos showing the progress that they made thus far, and how they didn’t waste any time.
Their ideas are very solid, and answer several questions that were asked in the first movie. Although several questions will answered throughout Prometheus 2, the story would be based on two main plot lines that were left off from the last movie. The first and most important is where will Dr. Shaw and David go, and what will they find there. It has been speculated that Elder Engineers that were cut from the last movie will play a huge role in the sequel. They were probably cut from the main movie for the same reason. Because it was thought that perhaps they need to be reworked, and represented in a whole different way.
But if there’s anything worth taking from their report is their inclusion of a scan from the July 2012 issue of American Cinematographer. The scan (below) shows 9 Engineers by the waterfall from a deleted scene. People part of the production have been posting their personal photos online– only a few days ago we had our first look at the “Elder Engineer” and more behind the scenes photos. And so we know the photo below is legit as it also shows the same character.

Thanks to seeasea for the link!
Visit Paradise Movie for more sequel news.
Nice! Nice! Nice!
Filming to start THIS year? For a 2014/2015 release?
Impossible.
Scott will be making ‘The Counselor’ later this year. Unless Scott will be onboard as a producer/executive producer only? How disappointing would that be? He has stated several times that he’d love to make the sequel himself.
If someone from The Nexus is going to go through the trouble of making a bogus report like that, he should at least put some effort and research into it.
Bullshit. The ‘Planning’ stage?? Know much about movies/filmmaking? Maybe you’re referring to development, which would precede pre-production, production (filming) and finally post-production. Like Gustavo said, Ridley is shooting The Counselor this fall, which would make any ‘development’ on a Prometheus sequel incredibly unlikely until Fall 2014 at the earliest. There are no scripts, no nothing at this stage…the movie just came out last week and hasn’t exactly been ripping it up at the box office. Time will tell if the continuing story of Elizabeth and David every gets told…

Weekend Box Office Wrap Up: June 17, 2012
‘Ridley Scott’s Prometheus also held its position from last week. The science fiction thriller dipped 60% from last weekend’s launch, grossing $20.2 million for a $88.8 million total. By next weekend the film will have crossed $100 million, the first film in the Alien saga to reach the century number (unadjusted). Globally the film has grossed $217 million, again making it the highest grossing film in the series at the international level.’
No comment.
so its a success then lol
Bogus.
There is a viral website my friend sent me that says “Stage 2 of Project Prometheus” then has a date for this year, 10/11/12 – So this may be the first signs of a sequel popping up.

So this could be legit after all.
Its confirmed guys.
Also think about it! It makes sense! The movie ended leaving us with more questions! they have to be answered! I felt like the movie just started! I say maybe even a Prometheus 4 might pop up! there is just SO many things they can explore!
Not confirmed.
Is it just me or does that cut scene pic look like an expensive slightly modified version of Spock on Vulcan from Khan.
lindelof truly is a creatively bereft scam artist.
Comic Con on 10-11-12 will give us more insight as to what is going on. That is the word I am hearing right now.
A possibility of a trailer is medium. Scott and Fox are making use of the NY Comic Con to continue the marketing and viral campaign.
When I hear more, I will gladly share.
Its funny, but I had been wondering about whether they have already filmed the beginning of Prometheus 2 while they filmed Prometheus 1.
I don’t mean they filmed both full movies back to back like Matrix trilogy. Instead, I was more sort of referring to how TV shows often film the first (part or all) of the first episode of the next season at the same time they film the present season finale to make sure they have good continuity if there are cliffhanger endings. After all, the scriptwriters have done TV before.
If you have Rapace, Fassbender, the Engineers (and maybe Theron as a surprise “oh no she didn’t die” character) all gathered in the same place, it makes sense to make the most of them while you have them together on location.
Also, Rapace’s Imdb shows she’s quite busy in the next couple of years…
I was also wondering whether both films had been shot already.
In the beginning, when it was still an Alien prequel, they mentioned mr Scott mentioned it would be done over 2 movies…
I don’t want to see the Engineers’ Paradise in Prometheus 2. I would like to meet more action, more adventure, more planets, more spaceships, space battles, alien creatures, technology, creativity, imagination, good and exciting characters, etc… before discovering their paradise.
Am I alone?
Yes you are
If I am, then come with me.
Nope, you are not….If Lindelof want to ripoff something actually worthwile, he should read more Hugo Award winning books like Dan Simmons’ Hyperion Saga…These actually are truly beautifull universes with a WHOLE lot more “action, more adventure, more planets, more spaceships, space battles, alien creatures, technology, creativity, imagination, good and exciting characters, etc”
instead of stealing / rehashing idead from other movies…
I think the movie Prometheus can act as a perfect starting point of showing and discovering features of real science fiction in many-many films. In my opinion, today you can’t meet enjoyable sci-fi movies offering these characteristics.
If I am not mistaken, the expression ‘space opera’ describes this style of storytelling or something similar. I know that this is an old phrase and the year is 2012, but I think the usage of a modern and suitable version of this approach would result in the appearance of amazing and epic science fiction movies.
You mentioned Hyperion Saga, yes! And, of course, there are so many old and fresh universes and sources. Asimov, Herbert, old (I mean created in the eighties) German and Japanese cartoon series – Captain Future, Yamamoto, etc. Low quality, high quality – not important! They can serve as brilliant sources. Old Star Wars trilogy started something unique. I strongly believe that the new trilogy was so disappointing for a lot of people because it did not continue this ‘space opera’ style mentioned. (The Clone Wars does – more or less.)
Maybe the new Star Trek? Mass Effect? New Star Wars movies set in the Old Republic. I don’t know. I love the atmosphere in Alien. I love Prometheus, and I hope it has just begun. And, yes, I’d like to see more adventure, more planets, more space battles, more alien creatures, fantastic technology, creativity and exciting characters in their universe.
As the sequence will occurr in the homeland of the Engineers, it should be called Olympus.
Is it confirmed, that Lindelof is off?
Let’s hope. ahhh piece of shit he is.
The xenomorphs: monsters or the real gods ???
PLEASE JUST GET THE SEQUEL OUT! I’M ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT WAITING AND WANTING TO SEE IT! I WANT TO SEE MORE GORE THOUGH, MORE ALIENS RIPPING PEOPLE APART BUT ALSO A GREAT PLOT SO IT BALANCES OUT. I LOVE THE ALIEN MOVIES AND I WATCH THEM FROM THE FIRST MOVIE TO THE LAST INCLUDING THE ALIEN VERSES PREDATOR ONES. COME ON RIDLEY THRILL ME MAN YOU DEFINITELY GOT LOVE IN THE HOOD!!
A wonderful unique story keeps us hanging for a while. It is a good thing considering so many dumb movies / comedies / reality TV shows out there.
One question remains unanswered, who is Yutani?
Just yesterday someone posted a viral footage about Yutani. It adds more suspense to the Weyland-Yutani Corp.
This was a great movie! I hope a 2nd comes out, becuase I woud go see it the day it comes out.
Prometheus was a dud.
Get over it!
The only film that still stands up out of the series is Alien.
The rest inlcuding the dated Aliens are not on the same level
Open your eyes and search your minds.
Without Alien you wouldn’t have had any sequel and Prometheus was a let down. Rapace and robot flying off at the end – LOL!
I wasn’t to impressed either, And the sequel seems pretty obvious. The Naomi-character’s very religious. The engineer-guys on the ship died 2000 years ago, just before bringing devestation to earth. What happened 2000 years ago on earth? Jesus saved us all.
So: the engineers wants to kill us all because we prove to be the children of god, Jesus saved us by sending the aliens after the engineers and Naomi gets her religious beliefs confirmed.
