Ridley Scott’s next Prometheus films will tie into the Alien franchise, but not how you’d expect.
[dropcap size=small]F[/dropcap]ans of the movie Alien have believed for some time now that Prometheus was the prequel to Ridley Scott’s first sci-fi thriller. However, in a recent interview with FilmFutter Ridley Scott, who was promoting his recent film The Martian, talked about how he has plans for several more Prometheus movies before tying in with his first movie.
Ridley Scott has always been rather protective of his Alien franchise and he’s kept his plans for Prometheus rather quiet up until now. It seems that the director wishes to drag on his Prometheus films to give his version of where Alien came from.
“The whole point of it is to explain the ‘Alien’ franchise and to explain the how and why of the creation of the Alien itself. I always thought of the Alien as a kind of piece of bacterial warfare. I always thought that that original ship, which I call the Croissant, was a battleship, holding these biomechanoid creatures that were all about destruction”
The only question is whether or not the search for the Engineers will take longer than thought for Ridley Scott to tie in his Prometheus film to the Alien franchise. After all, Neill Blomkamp’s Alien movie has been delayed due to Ridley Scott. Guess we’ll just have to wait for the next several Prometheus films to come out before we learn where and why the Aliens were created.
