Ridley Scott: Prometheus 2 To Go On Floors In February 2016

After the success of The Martian, Ridley Scott is looking forward to the sequel of 2012 film Prometheus. The director has revealed that the story of the film is under process and the next chapter of the franchise will go on floors in February next year. At the Toronto International Film Festival, the filmmaker revealed the story of the second instalment to some extent.

The Gladiator director admitted that the plot of the original was a bit too much and that the next chapter would begin from Dr. Elizabeth Shaw’s mission of discovering engineer’s home planet. He said, “You can either say, leave the first film alone and jump ahead, but you can’t because it ends on too specific a plot sentence as she says, I want to go where they came from, I don’t want to go back to where I came from. I thought the subtext of that film was a bit florid and grandiose, but it asks a good question: who created us? I don’t think we are here by accident. …”.

Scott continued, “It is pretty grand thinking, and that’s what I want to explore. You’ve got to go back and find those engineers and see what they are thinking. If engineers are the forerunners of us, and therefore were creators of life forms in places that were possible for biology to function, who created that? Where’s the big boy? You think this was all an accident?”.
