Gazz Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I *think* this is legit: I'm pretty sure that's just the front page of a fansite. It popped up around the time of Prometheus' initial release. http://www.prometheus2-movie.com/ (Main Site) http://www.prometheus2-movie.com/paradise/ (Image Above) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Homer Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 PROMETHEUS isn't quite an original film though. Technically it is. It's an original screenplay and requires no viewing of Alien to understand the plot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dementeleus Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Technically it is. It's an original screenplay and requires no viewing of Alien to understand the plot. Yes, I understand. However, given that it's playing out in an existing (and already established) universe, in some ways it has both benefits and baggage. (While people would've still be disappointed, I doubt the full-on 'net rage would've happened if it was an entirely original creation.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazz Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Has there ever been a successful sequel made to an original film that received as mixed a reception as Prometheus? It's already been said, but Prometheus isn't an original film. It's very much part of the ALIEN universe and despite some 'this is not a prequel/ sequel' talk from writer and director it was very much marketed as being part of the ALIEN series. Even the trailers defining moments were direct references to the first Alien film (a Space Jockey chair rising in a giger-esque chamber/ a crashed alien ship set against an alien landscape). Technically it's a prequel (in that it's simply set before Alien) but really Prometheus is simply a spin-off/ off-shot from the ALIEN series. The audience is certainly split (though even the recent Empire 301 Greatest Films poll tells you that the film clearly has it's vocal fans) but I don't see why the sequel can't do similar or better numbers providing it improves on Prometheus. To use an example of a similar scenario of a sequel to a film in a spin-off series, X-Men Origins: Wolverine received a toxic reception but the following film, The Wolverine did better at the box office worldwide and also surprisingly well with critics too. It's certainly well within Scott/ Fox's grasp to improve on Prometheus but whether they will is certainly up for debate. As a fan of Prometheus but a recogniser of it's many flaws, I remain cautiously optimistic. The roll Fox are on with the X-Men and (hopefully) the Planet of the Apes series gives me hope that things are improving there for franchise films. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazz Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 It's a piece of fan art designed and sculpted by Simon Lee. I've seen it before (sometime last year). Lee also made a couple of other Predator/ Alien related sculptures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
