Alien: Paradise Lost

WAT?!?!

TravisR · Sep 24, 2015

I'm guessing this movie doesn't even get made but if it does, there's no way they will use that title.

Wayne_j · Sep 24, 2015

From what I hear The Martian is Exceptional, that could probably give Ridley enough clout to get this film produced.

Josh Steinberg · Sep 24, 2015

I thought they were confirmed to start shooting in February? I think it's definitely happening.

I didn't realize they were that close to starting. I agree with Wayne that The Martian will be a hit but in the highly unlikely event that it isn't, I think Scott's days of bloated megabudget movies are finally over and they could pull the plug on Prometheus 2 or drastically cut the budget, rework the script, force him to do a PG-13, etc.

I'm still going to say that they're not going to use that title.

Well, Ridley wanted to call The Martian, Alien: Stuck on Mars and he was going to tie it in to the Alien universe.

Ridley had plenty of clout already. The Prometheus sequel has been on the books for a while now. The only news here is the supposed title.

I hear that the after-credits sequence has Damon giving birth to a chest-burster, and it looks like Ben Affleck. ^_^

Multiple "Prometheus" sequels that will eventually tie us directly into ALIEN...? I must resist the urge to ram a rolled-up magazine into someone's mouth.

The entire plot of ALIEN 5:

Scott talks about Paradise Lost and Blomkamp's Alien 5 here.

They are both planned. First PL, then A5 ( produced by Scott).

Does this indicate that Paradise will be the name of the Engineers’ planet in Alien: Paradise Lost? Could be. Sir Ridley said that the title change has not affected the story of The Artist Formerly Known As Prometheus 2. “In a way it is Prometheus 2. It’s exactly the same story. But it was always in the works to be called that [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 this], but I’m not telling you what.”

So what does this mean for Neill Blomkamp’s sequel? There had been speculation that Alien: Paradise Lost might mean that it wouldn’t get made, but Sir Ridley has scotched those rumours. “I’m producing it,” he reiterated. “The design is for it to go out next, after this. This will go out first. It’s more associated with Ripley, it’s a completely different angle, it’s more of a sequel. I’m coming in from the back end.”

Giggity

I've always been looking forward to a Prometheus follow-up and glad it seems to be definitely happening. I think "Alien: Paradise Lost" is a stupid title, though. I last heard it was going to be simply "Paradise". Whatever though, there's plenty of time for them to change it.

Prometheus 2: Plot Lost?

Sam Favate · Sep 26, 2015

I don't think it's a very good title; seems very cliched. Why use "Alien" in the title if the connection to the original isn't coming for two or three more prequels (as Scott said)?

Also, I think this sets the general audience up for a world of confusion with Blomkamp's coming Alien movie.

Jonathan Perregaux · Sep 26, 2015

Perhaps they are building an ALIEN cinematic universe like Marvel has done. I look forward to future installments based upon classic literature such as...

andySu · Sep 26, 2015

Ripley: Jones, were's Jones?

Parker: Who knows?

Lambert: Last I saw of him he was sneaking around in the mess sniffing at, ashes body.
