Ridley Scott To Shoot ‘Prometheus’ Sequel In 2016?
In the latest issue of “Total Film” (courtesy of Scified), there was a profile piece on Ridley Scott’s upcoming film The Martian. In that piece, it’s confidently stated that Scott will be returning to the Prometheus universe by shooting Prometheus 2 in January of 2016. This information is not yet confirmed although it will be very interesting to see the supposed trilogy continue, as the first film was quite polarizing.
Prometheus 2 will continue the story of David (Michael Fassbender) and Dr. Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace), with Scified stating that there will be multiple “David” android units making their appearance.
Prometheus 2 will not share any relation to Neill Blomkamp’s Alien 5, which is currently in production. Scott is executively producing that film to ensure that the storylines remain distinct and separate.
Prometheus expanded the Alien universe by turning the story onto the “Engineers”, who first made their appearance as the “Space Jockey” in 1979’s Alien. It came out in 2012. You can read our review here.
If you want to watch a fun movie, watch a Ryuhei Kitamura movie. Whether it’s 2000’s Versus, 2004’s Godzilla: Final Wars, 2008’s The Midnight Meat Train or 2022’s underseen The Price We Pay, Kitamura always knows how to deliver a wild and crazy good time.
Up next from Ryuhei Kitamura? Deadline reports that he’ll be directing Thrill Ride, which sounds a bit like the best parts of Final Destination 3… expanded into a feature film!
Deadline details, “the English-language film will tell the story of a group of people, including two young women, who are trapped upside down on a roller coaster taken over by a mysterious saboteur threatening to drop them all one-by-one to their deaths.”
Film Bridge International is launching the project for sales ahead of the Cannes market.
Chad Law and Christopher Jolley wrote the screenplay.
“Thrill Ride is exactly the type of high-concept based thriller that our customers are looking for in the marketplace,” said Film Bridge’s Ellen Wander and Jordan Dykstra. “With Ryuhei at the helm, we know his vision and execution will deliver thrills of the highest quality.”
“As a hardcore rollercoaster fan since I was young, I immediately fell in love with this script filled with suspense, action, crazy ups and downs, turns, loops, and corkscrews at maximum speed,” adds Kitamura. “I can’t wait to get on a ride and bring life to the wildest rollercoaster imaginable.”
We’re already seated. Stay tuned for more on Thrill Ride as we learn it.
