There is No ‘Prometheus,’ Only ‘Alien’!
Just the other day Ridley Scott shocked us all by revealing plans for up to three Prometheus sequels. What he didn’t say was that he’s retitling them.
In an fresh interview with HeyUGuys, Scott firmly reveals that the new title to Prometheus 2 is Alien: Paradise Lost.
I can only assume that Prometheus has a lot of negative connotations being that it wasn’t well received (I still love it), so Fox and Scott have decided to insert Alien into the title to boost its market value.
In the aforementioned interview, Scott also explained that the “Prometheus” sequels would eventually interconnect with Alien, so maybe they decided it was best to have the title live in the same world?
Personally, I love this. Prometheus was always deceptive in its attempt to remove itself from the Alien-verse (like it was a bastard child or something), even though it was clearly a prequel.
I’d love to know what this means for Neill Blomkamp’s Alien sequel that’s currently in development. It had been mentioned that Scott had bumped it as to not conflict with his plans – but could Blomkamp’s vision be part of this series of three sequels? Maybe Fox has decided to pull a Star Wars and create a series of “stories” around the Alien universe?
The expanded universe concept is hitting Hollywood hard, and it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if Fox was taking Alien into that territory. Could Predator be next? A remake of that is in the works…
After making $230 million at the worldwide box office, this year’s franchise reboot Scary Movie is now headed home to Digital, and a brand new Extended Cut is coming with it!
Scary Movie: Extended Cut hits Digital on Tuesday, July 21, 2026.
This new cut promises “Extended scenes and alternate cuts.”
“The jokes just got even more unhinged — the Extended Cut throws more laughs, more madness, and all-new scenes for a franchise that has never met a line it wouldn’t cross.”
We don’t know too much about Scary Movie: Extended Cut at this time, but we did recently hear that additional Terrifier spoof footage was one thing left on the cutting room floor.
Fedor Steer’s appearance as Artie Claus is brief in Scary Movie, but he noted in an Instagram post that more footage was shot for the Terrifier 3 spoof scene. Steer explained, “Sadly, the scene where I cut off [the mall Santa’s] arms and head and twirl in the fountain of blood spewing from his neck didn’t make the movie. Just trust me when I tell you it was awesome!”
We also know that a bit featuring Smile parody Ghostface masks was cut from the film.
Scary Movie is listed for DVD and Blu-ray release on September 22, 2026.
Twenty-six years after the original massacre, Cindy, Brenda, Shorty, and Ray get dragged back into the chaos by a brand-new masked killer who clearly never learned when to quit.
Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Anna Faris, and Regina Hall reunite for an outrageous return to the franchise’s original roots, where every target is fair game.
Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House) directed the new Scary Movie.
