Damon Lindelof is Not Writing the PROMETHEUS Sequel; Explains Why

[Valaquen]

Good news - but it also means that we can all get worked up over another writer or two. I hope they get a real talent (unproven or otherwise), rather than a 'name' writer.

Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman

I yet to read the scripts of both Lindelof or Spaihts. Which script was better? Anyway, regarding him not returning to the sequel I think it's a good thing because I want a see a fresh voice take a crack at it anyway.

Spaihts' had a better set up but turned into a jumbled mess that read more like an Alien fan-fiction.

Lindelof's draft was a step in the right direction and at least read like it's own thing, but was far from complete and perhaps shouldn't have abandoned Spaihts' set up entirely. It's also a bitch to read.

All in all, I would say Lindelof's is better but could have done with a few more drafts.

I highly doubt there will be a Prometheus 2 anyway.

Best news I've heard in a while  .
He seems to have a bit of a lip on.(fan boys and all that) 

[szkoki]

just to be clear RIDLEY WAS THE ONE WHO ACCEPTED THE FRESHED UP SPAITH-SCRIPT FROM LINDELOF!!! So first of all blame on Ridley for all those many many mistakes that this movie has...(even though its a great movie and could be a lot more)

[Ash 937]

This is great news!  Now if only we could get confirmation that somebody other than Ridley will direct...

Lindelof's explanation makes as much sense as this.




The hell is he working on that he cant spent a couple months writing a script?

A couple of months = 24 does it?

[DaddyYautja]

A couple of months = 24 does it?

dude all a writer does is write a script then send it in and wait to see what they think.

Yeah... sure it is...

It would be awesome if your reply actually put in a little bit of discussion.
