Prometheus (2012)
Director Ridley Scott is preparing to unleash his long rumored and much anticipated follow up to his 1980 space gothic masterpiece – Alien – entitled Prometheus. In a recent interview with IC Press, Scott revealed some of his reasoning behind the new film – which he doesn’t consider a prequel at all.
Translation from AvPGalaxy:
“When the first ‘Alien’ movie and ‘Blade Runner’ were made, I thought that in the near future the world will be owned by large companies. This is why we have the Tyrell Corporation in ‘Blade Runner’, and Weyland-Yutani in ‘Alien’. They sent the Nostromo spaceship.
The Prometheus is owned by an entrepreneur called Peter Weyland, and is played by Guy Pearce. That’s the connection between the two films, and nothing more. Prometheus is a new film, a new world, and is full of new ideas. And of course new monsters as well.“
