IGN is reporting that Ridley Scott is considering making the upcoming Blade Runner sequel after his next film, The Martian which puts Prometheus 2 back some years. Nothing in the article is definitive or confirmed, it is just noted that Ridley Scott says he thinks he will film Blade Runner next:
“Scott next shoots The Martian with Matt Damon starring so he thinks he will film Blade Runner 2 after that. So where does that leave Prometheus 2?
“That’s the problem,” the director told EW. “I’ve got a lot of ducks in a row. But they’re all written.”
Thanks to Shevvie for the news.

However, the contract usually expires after a set amount of time, typically three years. This can sometimes make it a bit harder to get the original cast back if you dally too long. In the case of Prometheus it's just Rapace and Fassbender but as these two actors are obviously very popular and busy it could possibly cause a delay in getting the sequel made.
Aliens was seven years after Alien.
ASAP . it will end up in the too hard basket and then happens it will never be made .
Big mistake , Prometheus should be first . It has two years since the release of Prometheus , if not done

I think the SE is the best extended/alternate cut of all the Alien movies.
Slower and redundant to me would be the Aliens SE.
A slower and redundant version of Prometheus.
You consider 'Alien Resurrection' to be a spin-off and not a proper sequel?
Steven Messing did the murals that appear in the film. Giger just did a few sketches of versions of set design, the Deacon, Trilobite and other creatures...
I also hold out hope that Prometheus will have a cut like Alien 3's SE.
Not counting stuff reused from earlier films, Giger actually didn't do much at all on Prometheus, just a few murals.
If another producer will try again then the only result you will get is an Ressurection movie
It was a spinoff in my opinion. A what if and nothing more. On the Prometheus subject, it needs to be given to someone else to free up Ridley for BR 2.
Well a bit, however the film does say things like (and this is from memory):
"for all intensive purposes" she succeeded, at least for 200 years, and certainly from WY getting them taking the queen she was carrying back to Earth etc. That's still a worthwhile sacrifice in my book.
Ripley is still dead, the character in the movie is "not her"
And at the end of the film the Aliens are wiped out again which wraps it up
So I guess my point is Alien Res kind of stands alone, while Prometheus says it stands alone but actually alters some of the fundamentals of Alien.
You could argue Resurrection shat all over the fact that Ripley sacrificed her life to rid the universe of the Alien at the end of the third film...
Prometheus stand alone is an OK/good film, but as part of the Alien series it fails badly. I think I even gave it two ratings in my initial review to reflect that.
How was he trolling?! He just said he didn't like the film!
Other than Prometheus only being slightly better than AVP (I thought it was miles better than that trash), I think I might agree with you. Resurrection is the obvious contender for being worse than Prometheus, but for all of that movie's faults, I never found myself wishing it would just end so I could leave. By the final act of Prometheus I'd got so bored and frustrated that leave was exactly what I wanted to do.
Because anybody that doesn't have your same opinion is a troll.
Get over yourself. Prometheus was a hair better than AvP. It was much worse than any other Alien standalone installments.
That's MY opinion.
If yours differs then so be it.
Everything they did they could've done without sullying the Alien franchise any further.
Now I'm worried to what he will do to Blade Runner.
He is old, lost his brother, had problems with the studio and the Lidnelof involvement i dont think he wants another set back when and if he did Prometheus and it failed.
He wants to be happy and enjoy life and films.
Given how terrible 47 Ronin was... no thanks.
I'll take Duncan Jones' Blade Runner-inspired Mute over either of 'em, though. I really hope that that project rises from the ashes some day.
Prometheus 2 will follow The Martian. calling it.
So Michael Green is now involved with both Prometheus 2 and Blade Runner 2?
Scott isn't really a sequel kind of guy so wouldn't be surprised if he decides to direct something else after The Martian instead of the Blade Runner and Prometheus sequels.
