Prometheus 2 Is Happening


I don’t know about you lot, but I enjoyed Prometheus. Sure, it has plot holes you can fly an Engineer ship through, and a whole cast of one-dimensional characters, but it was a good romp nonetheless, and it looks like we’ll be romping all over again as The Hollywood Reporter confirms that the movie would get a sequel.

According to THR, Prometheus grossed $US303 million globally (it had a $US103 million budget), so a sequel seemed fairly inevitable.

Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender are reportedly already signed on, but getting writer Damon Lindelof back on board might be difficult due to scheduling conflicts. People who hated the first one for its writing probably aren’t too fussed that Lindelof might have to sit this one out, though.

We’ll have a lot of time to complain though: the sequel isn’t slated for release until 2014 or even 2015. [iO9 via The Hollywood Reporter]
