Eww.. Ripley's old now..

Some possible tidbits regarding Prometheus 2...

...meaning they should be looked upon with a skeptical eye, but they do seem highly likely...

In summary:

-Prometheus 2 will not focus primarily on Shaw and David on board the Juggernaut they escaped in. This time frame is said to be glazed over, since Shaw will be incapacitated for most of the trip anyways

-There will be 3 main plot lines, Shaw and David's mission to Paradise is only one of these three

-The Engineers are NOT our cretors, but servants to a higher being, much like David is to Humanity

-Prometheus 2 WILL link LV-223 and LV-426, it will provide some answers to Alien, but it won't be an 'Alien' movie

-Prometheus 2 will feature 2 monsters - both having connections to the Xenomorph, but are not Xenomorphs themselves

-There will be a loose connection between the Engineers and the Prometheus myth, involving "fire", however we believe this is in a metaphorical sense

-Project Prometheus was not the first mission to LV-223

-The Black Goo will return, but not as a weapon, but as a means to create life - the forbidden fruit, if you will

-Evolution will NOT be the focus, but instead the hierarchy of creation and ancient Gods

-David wishes to play God himself...

-Ideas from the original Star Beast will be incorporated

-Prometheus 2 is said to have a very Matrix and Blade Runner feel to it, regarding the agenda of the Creators and the Engineers

-Prometheus 2 will have a much larger cast, not a smaller one

-Ideas which didn't make it into Prometheus will make their way into Prometheus 2

Matrix/Bladerunner feel? Hmm..

Apparently there's some bs news floating around on the internet at the moment saying it will be set on Earth and it will be titled 'Prometheus: Hell on Earth'

Yeah, I saw that a week or so ago and just ignored it. Saw it here...

Ah ok...I actually seen it from the Aliens vs. Predator community on Facebook on that day.

To begin filming in January!

Let's hope they actually do film and don't pull out like the Tron 3 fiasco. Still annoyed to this day about that.

No one really gives a shit about the Prometeus sequel (except me, of course), but even less people give a rat's ass about Tron 3. Not relevant at all.

Tron 2 made a healthy profit and acting like no one cares is pure ignorance. It doesn't have a Harry Potter or Star Wars following but not many other franchises do. I also care about a Prometheus sequel. The movie ended at an exciting point. I hope they can pull the engineers home world off.

Finally, good to hear. Didn't love Prometheus, felt the second act faltered, but I do love the Alien franchise.

David would not be pleased to hear this.

David was one of the best parts, so he forgives me.

David will hunt you down and watch you while you sleep.

David is quanchi? nah.

Hell yeah. I just hope there's not a bunch of fluff... this shit needs to be Lawrence of Arabia on the motherfucking Engineers home world. But I fear there is going to be a bunch of flashbacks and backstory or something. I read something a while back that immediately got removed, so I think it might have actually been legit. I just don't remember it very well.

It is confirmed. 'Paradise' is to be Ridley's next film...

Prometheus 2 to at least begin to answer one big question...

“It starts off with a very grand idea—or a grand question, really. Who are they and why did they create such evil biology and bacteriology? And [in creating], to protect themselves from what? So the questions are answered there, or rather, beginning to be answered in Prometheus 2.”

- Ridley Scott

Well, that's interesting, because I don't think anyone knew that the Engineers created it. We didn't know if it was something they discovered or what. So that spills a lot right there.. interesting...

I knew they created it 👆

Wonder if they're going to tie-in the Predators in this, as being the Engineers nemesis. Doubtful, but there is precedence.

I don't see Ridley using Predators. And these are his movies.

Was thinking more in line with alluding to the Yautja, not actually showing them and some war etc., but as I said, I'm doubtful and personally would prefer they introduce something else.
