Read on twitter today that Ridley Scott wants to do another Prometheus.  I hope to hell this isn't true, I've barely got over the first fiasco.

I have to admit, despite my heavy criticism, I would see it just because they left so many unanswered questions. Yeah, that makes me a sucker.

Hear, hear.

That's my problem.  I'll have to go and see it and pay another fortune to the cinema hoping they repair some of the damage from the first one.

Why not wait for the dvd to come out? When it's 9.99 or less.

Quoted from Mr.Ripley Why not wait for the dvd to come out? When it's 9.99 or less.

No, what if it's a bad as the first?  Then I'd have to get rid of it as quickly as possible lol.

We can't wait, because we have to report to SS. Come on, we have a duty!

There was rumors about this from the moment it was released because of all the unanswered questions from the movie.

I also read that Fox would like Scott to do a sequel. It wouldn't surprise me if it happens, and me for one would be interested in seeing it.

The movie had problems but I love the universe in which it's set and I want to watch more of it.

I'm hoping there is a sequel.

I don't understand why everyone's complaining about the questions remaining unanswered.  Ridley Scott wanted to do a sequel from the very start, of course he isn't going to answer all of the questions.

I'm looking forward to it.

A sequel here would be like paying to see a new season of Lost.
They left so many damn questions unanswered, that I felt obligated to continue.
On a TV show, I felt manipulated enough to continue...
But to shell out cash to alleviate that proverbial rash, I'll pass and wait for the torrent! ;D

E.D.

There's leaving questions unanswered and then there's writing a story that's complete nonsense.  Prometheus is in the latter.  I hope they do answer some things but it's the things when I went 'why would they do that?' and 'they just wouldn't do that', that remain the underlining problem with the movie.

On the upside, Preposterous 2?

I enjoyed the film.

Hopefully this is true.

I very much liked the film to.

And as far as I know, unless something changes, a sequel is a done deal from what the studio has stated. But most likely it will have different writers.

I kinda loved the original. It was good to see a sci-fi movie that was actually science-fiction rather than just an action movie with spaceships or giant robots.

I hope they do continue the story. I liked the actors, the storytelling, the questions, the atmosphere. I say, go for gold.

Seems most people here liked the first movie and I'm in the minority lol.  I don't see how people think the actors were good (only Fassbender for me), the questions (don't get me started) and the storytelling!  What story, it was a shambles.

I kinda hope they make a second and do I much better job.

I have never been someone who goes to movies all that often, until recently, as it seems to go with trying to be a screen writer. One thing that seems apparent is that just as it's very hard to craft a really good script it's very hard to create a really good movie. There just aren't than many. So if a movie manages to give you some entertainment and some stimulation, it has value even if flawed. I agree with Alffy on the flaws of the story and the poor quality of the acting, but I still enjoyed the film enough to want to see the sequel and so how things play out.

Perhaps this isn't the best time to post a comment about a movie I disliked so much....some people on here are nuts!  But, I wanted to say that despite all my joking and bollocking of Prometheus, I found it 'quite' enjoyable to watch, even in crap 3D.  I guess I just went in with such high hopes and it failed to deliver for me.  If it was a stand alone sci-fi I'd accept it more for its flaws but it just made the Alien franchise look stupid.

I'm with Chisholm. It was much more intelligent than a lot of scifi movies we've been given lately.

Sure, I hoped "Prometheus" would live up to "Alien," but I secretly suspected that the premise was going to prevent that. Plus, Ridley said all along that he wasn't trying to remake "Alien," but merely include its DNA in the new film. I think he nailed that goal with nearly every aspect of the production. You had hints of "Alien" throughout, from a quote of Goldsmith's score, the couple glimpses of the xenomorph, the space jockey, the derelict, the feel of a few scenes that were reminiscent of "Alien," and parts of the plot felt like "Alien." However, "Prometheus" is its own franchise, in my mind. It's cool that it's got ties to "Alien," but I don't think any less of "Alien" because of this new backstory. "Alien" is still great because it's still about 'The Company' wanting to lay its hands on this ultimate weapon, even at the cost of the crew's lives. Who cares where those weapons came from? The crew still has to survive and combat The Man for its right to do so.

That being said, I am very interested in how a sequel would answer the questions presented in "Prometheus." As a Christian, I didn't really give a rat's posterior about what Ridley had to say about mankind's origins. The concept's about as interesting as a body-swap comedy. But the way he presented and crafted it made me interested in it as scifi and now I want him to finish telling the story. I'm still dying to know how Weyland discovers the xenomorphs and why they want them or how they initially try to capture them. Surely, using the Nostromo as bait wasn't the first attempt.

Overall, I think Ridley created something that's just below "Alien" and "Blade Runner," but above "Legend," as far as his scifi/fantasy stuff. It was a welcome return to genre that he helped define/redefine and I think "Prometheus" will age well, once people realize it's not "Alien" and it was never intended to be. Of course, the sequels will play a large part in that, as well.
