According to the Daily Mail, Sir Ridley Scott has arrived in Australia to scout for locations for the upcoming Prometheus 2:
“‘It’s the best kept secret at the moment, that Ridley is here to film the Prometheus sequel,’ an insider told the MailOnline. The source said he and several other well-placed professionals only became aware of the project when Scott touched ground at Sydney airport on Wednesday, with pre-production remaining tight-lipped. “
Thanks to Michael Scola for the e-mail.

Though they might simply be copying and pasting from The Daily Mail as they are wont to do.

yeah, this is probably for The Martian.
Its really boring and a money throw away.
f**k the Martian thats my opinion.
Are they planning to merge the two stories? That be interesting.
Agreed, many areas in the interior (AKA "the Red Centre") have a distinctly reddish colored type of soil rarely seen in other deserts. If NASA ever wanted to fake a manned Martian landing Straya would be the place to do it.

Even though Martian soil isn't really that red in reality - but you know public perception...
We can send Rong and Sil to spy on the set.
they just dont really know what the location scouting is for.
