MemberOvomorphMar-24-2012 8:33 AMThere is plenty of coverage of it on the web and once again, Scott alluded to a possible sequel when he said: [i]"If we're lucky, there'll be a second part. It does leave you with some nice open questions."[/i]
Now, as happy as I am thinking that Scott would be on board for a sequel, it leaves me a little concerned that by the end of the movie, there would still be a considerable gap between Prometheus and the beginning of Alien.
And since there is absolutely no guarantee that a sequel would happen, we could be left with permanent questions by the time Prometheus runs it's end-credits.

MemberOvomorphMar-24-2012 9:46 AMI like the idea of having open questions if a sequel doesn't get made. John Carpenter's films usually are like that. Leaves a lot to the imagination and allows for many theories. Take for example "The Thing" what happens after the camp explodes? Do Childs and MacReady get rescued? Do they freeze to death? Are one of them the Thing? Sometimes when they do make a follow up film it just ruins it. I hated the recent Thing movie telling the story about what happened at the Norwegian camp. Felt like they were just trying to tie up loose ends, didn't feel natural.
You have my sympathy
MemberOvomorphMar-24-2012 12:08 PMHope to god it dosn't link to Aliens, that film started to devaluation of Alien, reducing it from a single unresistable predator to a bloody grasshopper (cricket).

MemberOvomorphMar-24-2012 2:10 PMGo to livestream.com and search Ridley Scott, you should be able to watch the Q and A with Ridley Scott and Damon Lindelof if it's still up. I won tickets via twitter to go to the panel, but I live about a 4 hour drive from L.A. and couldn't get there in time.

Q: Does it rule out doing an actual Alien prequel?
DL: No, I don’t think it does. I think that there might actually be people out there who watch Prometheus and say, “This is an Alien prequel” but it’s a prequel in sort of a different sense than I’m used to. Isn’t it more interesting to think of a movie that takes place in the Alien universe, there are some familiar things that you will see along the way but if there were a sequel to Prometheus, it would not be Alien. That to me had to be the goal. God willing, if Prometheus is successful, and there is a sequel, it won’t be Alien because the end of this movie, if this movie is A to Z, Z is not there’s a bunch of eggs laying on the floor of LV-426. Z in this movie is entirely different although people will watch this movie and say, “I feel like I have a different contextual framework now for the original Alien, I’m going to watch it again. I feel like I know a little bit more than I knew before.”
