PROMETHEUS 2 titled revealed by Ridley Scott: ALIEN: PARADISE LOST

This will hopefully quieten those who've been stubbornly insisting that all the millions of deliberate continuity references, like Weyland, were supposedly not meant to be taken literally...

[Ultramorph]

He should take one from the Blomkamp playbook and release some concept art now.

I don't care, I'm not seeing it.

If it was just Paradise Lost, the average Joe wouldn't know that it's related to Prometheus. I can see the reasoning behind it. They should have done the same thing with the first movie.

Yeah but that's no difference to the average joe not knowing Prometheus was related to Alien. I never believed this movie was ever going to be called 'Prometheus 2', I fully expected it to just be 'Paradise'. But putting the Alien moniker in there seems contrived, considering how endlessly Scott and co have insisted this its its own franchise.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is a Fox enforced thing after Blomkamp's film was approved.

So I guess you were talking rubbish when you said the sequels were gonna move further away from Alien...

I really get the feeling this film's gonna be just as much of a mess as the first one.

Ridly Scott should call it Prometheus 2 Paradise Lost not Alien: Paradise Lost what a shame " (

[vikingspawn]

I prefer the plural uses of Aliens:

Prometheus was the name of the ship, which is no more. Make sense to me that they would drop the name.

So the Prometheus sequel will be titled Alien: Paradise Lost, but it will feature no connections at all to Alien.  Is anybody else getting mixed signals here?  Unless proven otherwise, I really get the feeling that Ridley is trying to milk the Alien franchise's logo rather than tell a decent story.

Whhhhhhhhaaaaaaaattttttt?

Unless proven otherwise, I really get the feeling that Ridley is trying to milk the Alien franchise's logo rather than tell a decent story.

Given what a u-turn this is from "the sequels will move even further away from Alien", I'm inclined to agree.

I did read something interesting in one report suggesting he might just be using the name to try and delay the Blomkamp film. No evidence, just the reporter thinking out loud.

[Adam802]

Well, I guess it's good to have "Alien" in the title. 

Bet really, just give me a good Alien V.

[locusta]

I'm tempted to say: " I'm done with that shit!"

[Xenoscream]

It's hard to know if this is a studio cash in decision... they know Prometheus got a lukewarm reception, perhaps they think sticking Alien in the title will be good for ticket sales...

After how they screwed the jockey origins (incomprehensible alien to bald dude) I don't think they could do more damage, so if this is a change in direction perhaps it is a good thing...

I guess we won't know until some plot details surface. Also saw that it's been reported as March 2016 release?
