Screenwriter Damon Lindelof will not write Prometheus 2, he has confirmed, suggesting that "much to the delight of all the fanboys" he won't have time to work with Ridley Scott on the sequel. The follow-up to the Alien prequel was confirmed as in the pipeline over the summer, with a 2014 release expected; however, despite speculation of his return, Lindelof told Collider that he is too focused on other projects to devote himself to Prometheus 2.

Prometheus 2 won’t be written by Damon Lindelof
Prometheus 2 confirmed for 2014
In a rather unceremoniously and suspiciously low-key fashion, Fox has confirmed that there will indeed be a sequel to this summer’s science fiction smash hit Prometheus. This news bit comes to The Hollywood Reporter via Fox president of production Emma Watts, who notes that, “Ridley [Scott] is incredibly excited about the movie, but we have to get it right. We can’t rush it.” It would appear that at least two major actors from the first film are signed on to the project as well – but we must warn you that knowing who they are may very well spoil the first movie for you – so beware!
Papercraft Prometheus trailer is all kinds of awesome
Prometheus director Ridley Scott was particularly proud of the number of physical effects used in the new film rather than CGI, and we've a feeling he'd appreciate the effort that went into this fan-made papercraft trailer too. The handiwork of artist Travis Betz, the trailer - which you can see after the cut - is a scene-for-scene recreation of the official Prometheus promo, only replicated using cut-outs and some low-tech special effects.

Prometheus hits US theaters today
It’s June 8, and that means one thing: Prometheus opens in theaters across the US, finally giving the not-quite-an-Alien-prequel its time to shine. Director Ridley Scott returns to the Alien universe he created in horrifying fashion over thirty years ago, with a film that started out to tell the story of what led up to the 1979 classic, but subsequently evolved into the start of a sci-fi franchise in its own right.
Prometheus: SlashGear meets Michael Fassbender, Noomi Rapace, Guy Pearce and Logan Marshall-Green
The alien creatures in Prometheus might arguably steal the show, but whether they’re antagonist, host or just plain meat, the human cast is equally important. SlashGear sat down with stars Michael Fassbender, Noomi Rapace, Guy Pearce and Logan Marshall-Green after the Prometheus world premiere to talk post-curtain rumors, working in the shadow of Ripley, and how the whole film might actually be a robot love story.
Ridley Scott talks Prometheus with SlashGear: Candid & Uncut
Director Ridley Scott is a man who needs little introduction: the genius behind Gladiator, the original Alien and, of course, Prometheus. SlashGear sat down with Scott – along with Prometheus writer Damon Lindelof – shortly after the movie’s worldwide premiere, to talk director’s cuts, the difficult balance of religion and science, and to find out about “The F*cking Cappuccino Theory of Astrophysics.”
Prometheus: We talk Alien and tech with Ridley’s writer duo
Prometheus has arrived with a bang, Ridley Scott’s expansive Alien prequel, and SlashGear sat down with writers Damon Lindelof and Jon Spaihts to talk Quadrilogy canon, SpaceX and angry androids. Jointly responsible for a screenplay that has spawned intense debate and no small amount of controversy, both Lindelof and Spaihts have a history of creating science-fiction that’s as cerebral as it is explosive.
Prometheus Movie Review and Red Carpet Coverage
Alien was all about dark, ominous spaces and a sense of intense claustrophobia and mounting tension – in part due to Ridley Scott’s withholding of the final Xenomorph in all its glory as the film reached its climax (along with hiding its comparably low-tech costume). Prometheus is the CGI-overspilling, determinedly 3D and generally expansive movie Scott could never make back in 1979. It’s a fraught process, returning to a story that not only helped make a career but shaped a genre, and Prometheus swings between sensation, horror and a sometimes uncomfortable philosophy.
Prometheus red carpet rolls out in London – join us today!
Today is the big day in London for those anxiously awaiting the very first showing of the sci-fi epic Prometheus, and we’re right there along with them on the red – or blue, rather – carpet! This event is taking place in Leicester Square with stars Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender, Guy Pearce, and Noomi Rapace as well as the director of the film Ridley Scott joining in on the fun tonight (or today, if you’re joining us from the USA.) We’ll be viewing the film as well as speaking with film producers, workers, and random Prometheus affiliates as they walk the carpet before the big show.
New Blade Runner movie confirmed to be a sequel
While we’re all getting pumped up for Prometheus, RIdley Scott is going to revisit another movie he directed in the not too distant future. It was announced back in August that Scott would helm an upcoming Blade Runner movie, and today it’s been revealed that the movie will be a sequel to the original starring Harrison Ford. Not only that, but the original writer of Blade Runner is onboard the project to help develop a story.

Prometheus Yutani viral addresses deceased Weyland
A brand new viral advertisement has been released today for the blockbuster science fiction film Prometheus, taking on this time the hereto-unmentioned Yutani corporation. Fans of the original Alien series will remember that the company that acts as antagonist in many situations goes by the name Weland-Yutani, this the combination of the company headed by Peter Weyland (played in this film by Guy Pierce) and the not-yet-mentioned (until now) Yutani group. This video shows the main protagonist of the film, researcher Dr. Elizabeth M. Shaw addressing none other than Weyland himself even though by the time she's the age she appears in the video here, Weyland should be long dead.
