Even with all of the flawed logic and character decisions (and there’s plenty of both) taken into consideration, I’m still a fan of Prometheus. I revisited the film on Blu-ray recently and aesthetically it really holds up, it’s an enormously watchable film. So while I’d certainly be down for a sequel, it’s a bummer to think that it’s probably not going to happen.
The reason? Momentum. It just doesn’t seem to be there anymore. Back in March there was a lot of back and forth about Damon Lindelof creatively painting the franchise into a corner and, regardless of where the blame lies (if indeed it lies anywhere), I sort of agree. Not from a creative standpoint, but a marketing one. I know that’s a weird place to operate from as a film fan, but hear me out.
Nekki has announced that the forthcoming gun fu game, SPINE, will receive a movie adaptation to expand the franchise.
Anthracite Review: This Netflix thriller makes us go down several engaging roads and the twists and turns are delicious.
Stolen Review: Elle Márjá Eira makes an attempt at creating a story revolving Sámi people of Sweden.
I really hope they make a sequel. I would love to know more about the Engineers.
The studio did announce a writer and Dark Horse has a comic coming so there is still some movement. But I agree, it would be nice for FOX to say 2015 Prometheues 2.
If Ridley wants it to happen it will. Its all about money, not momentum. This isn't a vacation but a movie.
Besides I would assume at some point they would like to tie in the story to actually seeing aliens and maybe combating them and I feel that Prometheus 2 would have done this nicely.
Hope so, horrible movie. Started nice, got terrible.
You really think FOX is going to pass up on this opportunity? They are already moving forward with a sequel. ;)
