MemberOvomorphSep-04-2012 11:02 PMJust read an article about Ridley returning to work on The Counselor after Tony's tragic death. According to this article the buzz around hollywood is that Scott will do Blade Runner after The Counselor and is only listed as a producer for Prometheus 2.
This is so complicated and such a hard thing for me to deal with. Personally, if push comes to shove and we can only have one or the other from him,I think I'd rather see Ridley do Blade Runner. I think that's what he will want to do to. To be able to return to the landscape he created after his older brother's death after the death of his younger brother could be a silver lining for him and could bring a ton of emotional depth to the film.
On the other hand, I believe Paradise could work in the same vein for Ridley especially with it's subject matter.
I want my cake and eat it too but in the end I would want him to do whatever he feels he can benefit from.

MemberOvomorphSep-06-2012 8:24 PMWhat gets me is that there's enough people going to see the 100th Underworld or Resident Evil but not enough to guaruntee 2 Prometheus sequels. It's just bonkers.
As far as possible directors BESIDES Scott, I've posted a few very in-depth thoughts on my candidates in this thread...

...as well as some other threads about the topic. I would love to get into an in depth conversation about potential directors if anyone's interested.

[b]" but you can see that the title of this thread tends to catch one's attention. It's no wonder our imaginations ran wild with it. So yes, please, always supply a link, especially when it has such massive implications like this."[/b]
Link supplied.
BTW...Not to be a prick, as I enjoy your posts very much Leech, but there is a big, fat question mark at the end of the topic title lol.

Ridley not directing the sequel(s) is a notion that I find so disturbing that I wouldn't even want to entertain it unless it was actually confirmed by the studio itself. But apparently you're just SICK like that!! :-P

Yeah, seriously. Paul WS Anderson is quite the hack. I actually kind of enjoy the Underworld movies, though. But both of those series are made relatively cheaply. I honestly wouldn't mind seeing the budget of P2 cut down a bit. Not that he overdid it with P1 (cuz the production is perfect) and special effects never once overwhelmed the story, but to help guarantee another film it might be worth it.

MemberFacehuggerSep-09-2012 4:58 PMJust to hopefully put the final nail or two in the coffin for this theory: remember that quote from the Fox studio president of production, Emma Watts? [url=http://www.metro.co.uk/film/907145-prometheus-sequel-confirmed-with-fassbender-and-rapace-signed-up]"Ridley is incredibly excited about the movie, but we have to get it right. We can't rush it."[/url] No way is P2 anyone's film but Ridley's.

MemberOvomorphSep-10-2012 10:01 PMI just checked out the IMDB website for Ridley Scott. For Prometheus it says he is listed as Producer. When you click on the link..it come to the familar Promethues home page and says Ridley Scott dierector etc. etc. FOr Prometheus 2 it has himas Producer also. The Prometheus 2 page of course if full of ????.
I am not sure why IMDB would list him as Producer for Prometheus but I am hopefully this is nothing more than some error. Ridley has said he wants to Direct the next movies.
BTW: I knwi he is 74 but he is a pretty vigorous guy. I think he will bemaking movies into his 80's. It what defines him.
Today I have been dedicated to post on as many topics as possible until I pass out from drinking too many beers.

MemberOvomorphSep-11-2012 2:17 AMridley being listed as a producer for P2 is not an issue and is more than likely accurate (he directed prometheus and was listed as one of the producers as well). I would be shocked if ridley wasnt a member of the producing team for P2 (i believe ms. watts is executive producer?). Hopefully, like most other facets of the P2 production at this time, ridley not being slotted as director of P2 is just a matter of incomplete information. Leech mentioned the most important and positive piece of info we have right now and thats ms watts' comment concerning both ridley's excitement towards the sequel and, by way of saying things the way she did, ms. watts' endorsement of ridley as the go to man regarding the construction of P2. Im going to try and remain hopeful. I gotta believe ridley is going to finish his work.
