More ‘Alien’ Sequels Inevitable? ‘Prometheus’ Inside Info.
In a question and answer session ove rat Moviehole, editor-in-chief Clint Morris revealed that’s he’s been privy to a of behind-the-scenes chatter for Twentieth Century Fox’s Prometheus, the rumored prequel to Ridley Scott’s Alien that’s now filming for release in 2012.
During his rant, he drops the bomb that a sequel to the original quadrilogy is planned:
“…the “Alien” series will continue – in another form. I don’t know much, but I’ve heard whispers that sequels (to the original quadrilogy – Ripley’s story) might be back on the cards; the whole `Alien Planet’ idea is still very much something everyone over at Fox and Scott Free are interested in. You ain’t see[n] the last of Facehugger.”
He also goes into depth about what’s he’s heard about Prometheus, including that if the studio likes the film, they could possibly retitle it to Alien: Prometheus. Click the link above for the full response.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
