So this was Prometheus along.

[Neo]

Why are articles making it out that it had the March 4 date?

[Maxmoser3]

Sounds like it could be good but when was the last time a film that took place on mars was a commercial success?

Ghosts Of Mars

There goes Prometheus sequel, Paradise

[BK007]

I'd rather Prometheus 2 never came out. This sounds promising. 

[kayumanggi]

So PROMETHEUS II isn't happening.

[Blankments]

Sounds neat

[Mango]

Very nice. Looking forward to it.

I really hope this happens. Chastsin being in it would make me look forward to this even more.

[Plain Old Tele]

I guess Kirsten Wiig is in talks as well.

[Empire]

Wiig would be an interesting choice for this movie. I would be down with her being in it.

Great cast. Not sure how to feel about Ridley at this point

I'm praying that the script is solid. If it is, he'll deliver on the visuals. If it isn't, he's not the guy to fix it, lol.

Scott's glory days as a director are well over. However the involvement of Damon and Chastian gives me confidence that this could be better than his last few features.

 

Hopefully the script doesn't suck too.
