Next ‘Prometheus’ Movie Will Have Connections To Ripley
“In a way it is Prometheus 2, but it was always in the works to be called [Alien: Paradise Lost]. Is Prometheus actually taking us off course from where I’m going, which is actually backing into the first Alien.. I’ve even got connections with Ripley [in the sequel], but I’m not telling you what.“
And regarding Neill Blomkamp’s new Alien film, Scott reiterated that there is a plan to collaborate, and even bring the two franchises together.
“I’m producing it. The design is for it to go out next, after [Prometheus 2, which] will go out first. [Blomkamp’s Alien is] more associated with Ripley, it’s a completely different angle, it’s more of a sequel. I’m coming in from the backend.”
