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.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
