Ridley Scott Gives Update on Prometheus 2

[SM]

So confirmation that these movies have nothing to do with a Xeno story.

We had confirmation of this years ago.  It's not news.

[Blacklabel]

nice bit of non-news news.

Apparently Ford is very busy with Star Wars: https://uk.yahoo.com/movies/ridley-scott-updates-us-on-prometheus-2-and-blade-98235330841.html

HO--shit!

and "xenomorph free" leads me to believe that the recent comics are solely there to satiate and pacify the masses who wanted more of the Deacon and/or Xenomorph.

Probably "Alíen The Weyland-Yutani Report" will be a true compilation of canon material, and yes, comics are just an appetizer, and it's quite clear that Ridley Scott ignores the EU.

The new EU material has been studiously trying to avoid any conflict with further Prometheus films.

"mixed reaction" - Critics may have loved it. But people didn't.

Average IMDB rating of 7.1/10.
When data isn't kind - make shit up, eh? 

I'm sure that the sequel will be successful in terms of box office just like the first one and even the disappointed fans will go to see it.

You mean the chronological changes in Fire and Stone?

Yep, there are no real spoilers here, and now I wonder if all the rewrites are to deal with the "Find out how I gets his head back on!"

So the reporter thinks the main criticism with Prometheus was the lack of Aliens.
The film was flawed on every imaginable level - tell that to old man Scott.....and lose your job I guess.

The Alien isn't scary anymore? Horse cawk and ballz, she's still my queen of the unnerving sexual horrors of cinema. She just needs a good director and script to bring her back into the good graces of the limelight.

Prometheus Two? Ehh, I initially hated the first film but are now indifferent to it. It's an overhyped film but it's not terrible.

The sequel will come forth. People will bash it. People will love it. But just like Miley Cyrus or Justin Beiber...after a while, nobody'll give a shit.

You mean the chronological changes in Fire and Stone?

Not sure which chronological changes you mean, but whatever stories they've concocted for the Fire & Stone series have gone through various people to ensure whatever they've come up with for Prometheus 2 won't conflict.  Unlike how Alien3 and Resurrection completely ignored the comic books.

I guess that, for the sake of not getting off-topic, they just decided to site one of the many fan complaints. Most fans were dissapointed -but for numerous and even contradictory factors; the point here is that fans have complaints and are still curious about Prometheus 2.

Most fans were dissapointed

You base this on?

Well, the Prometheus comic book take place centuries after the film, but apparently that was not the original plan and they were pressured to make that change. That's what I meant with chronological changes.

Hoping for Prometheus 2 over BR2 any day.

[orchidal]

^Hell yeah.

[Nightmare Asylum]

Agreed. Prometheus, while no where near as good as Blade Runner, is practically screaming for a sequel.

I'm more than content with Blade Runner staying standalone.
