...Grain of salt.
I think they would be wise to do this and they should make the ALIEN film come out after the PROMETHEUS film. If P2 comes out say, during XMAS of 2016 and then A5 comes summer 2017... Or perhaps P2 in the early summer and A5 for Christmas or Thanksgiving.... It will generate more interest in P2 and A5 and fans will want to see both and thus spark some sort of new fans to blast the rest of the films.
Just reads as speculation to me. I don't expect to see them for 2016.
I honestly don't think it makes any difference when either film is released as neither will deal with the other. I'm pretty confident in Prometheus being filmed but I'll be surprised if A5 ever happens. To me, it seems to be bullshit at the moment.
2016? That'd be only a year for A5 so hell no.

I doubt that. We've seen them as both having momentum. I wouldn't be surprised if Prometheus 2 was delayed a bit due to Scott's work elsewhere and the apparent script rewrites but I don't think it's bullshit in the slightest.
Considering Scott is busy filming The Martian right now and the script for alien 5 hasn't even been completed, 2016 for either is a definite no no.
I can see Alien 5 coming out for a February-March release date. It would be cool if both Alien 5 and Predator 4 came out in 2017.

The Martian has already wrapped.

I have loads of confidence that we'll get Prometheus 2; it's Alien 5 that I doubt will happen... any time soon but if you say so I'll take your word for it. You guys are way more Alien than me. :P
We're halfway through 2015 now. There's no way we're seeing either film in 2016.

Release is later this year - so he'll be busy in post. A release of next year is unlikely.

A very late 2016 release could be possible if they started principle photography on either film by August 2015 latest. Though it's unlikely as there are currently no cast or crew (cinematographer, production designer, costume designers etc.) attached to either production. Not to mention the lack of any official announcements from Fox.

I agree. Very unlikely.

I love how he will call out shit.
Sure, why not? Make it the year of the Alien.

Year of the Alien would probably be 2017. And if that's the case, they also need to release new Alien games during that year as well (Alien: Isolation 2, maybe another crack at Colonial Marines, and talk to Obsidian about reviving that Aliens RPG). Along with a new round of books, these will hype the movies for a 2017 release.
I don't think 2016 is possible unless PROMETHEUS were to start shooting this Fall, WHICH doesn't seem possible given the shooting schedules of Fassbinder and Rapace... Even if it were able to do so, and Scott is likely to be in high gear while producing both, if you read through what I wrote, you'd see I think AT BEST it would be Xmas 2016 and then 2017 for the second film.
When asked if P2 and A5 will be PRODUCED in tandem, Blomkamp responded by saying he wants to "keep some of his cards close to his chest." So that to me, means there will be some kinda story regarding the making of both films - the two productions - which will involve / overlap each other. Perhaps they will PREP together and then splinter. That sounds like a solid plan from a producing perspective. Since it would create cohesion in the production design/ art dept areas , which Scott is ALL about in his Sci-Fi movies.
Is Scott directing P2? I mean I hope so, as that's one of the major draws to me, but it's not confirmed is it?
It's not been confirmed but he's the one giving most of the updates.
They should make it a double feature :D
Yeah, with Alien 5 second so I can walk out when the decent film ends.
You can pass your ticket to me on the way out. :)

I'm not sure I mind that much if he doesn't direct it, provided they get someone else good and not someone no one has heard of. The series always chose someone to direct with a bit of hype and acclaim behind them. If he produces I'll be satisfied.
Wouldn't there be an official announcement from the studio or something? Prometheus 2 has some tid bits on news, kind of. Alien 5 - has very little news. I think the internet would be on fire with all the news. Plus 2016 seems very much rushing it. Just my two cents. Then again about my statements, I've kind of left searching for news until it really starts getting big.
You wont really get any big flood of news until the films are in actual production.

I was thinking that as i read the thread myself lol
The Derelict being explored by scientists and that android shit sounds like dope to me,
i always thought and wanted more exploration then running and being scared.
