[Prometheus 2 is] fresh" and "getting away from gods and dragons and shite. If I see one more dragon I'm going to shoot myself. Stop the dragons." Rather than a dragon, Scott describes his original Alien as "the definitive dragon and he's a motherf . . ker. The alien's real which is why it's probably one of the scariest monsters in film history," Scott says. "So with Prometheus 2 what I'm trying to do is reintroduce a fresher form of alien in the third act." The Prometheus "baby" alien was, he concedes, "awfully close to the alien" that tormented Sigourney Weaver. His next one promises to be very different.


Top comment - "I would really prefer he include a new kind of scientist."

I have no idea I think he was at some awards show, maybe someone was asking him about Game of Thrones or something.

So is this him attempting to say Prometheus wasn't an "Alien" movie? They keep flopping around on this ie same "universe" but not same movie series as if I believe that. I think its because they want leeway for putting out a stinker of a mess of a movie. Thanks Lindelhoffersnoogan you bastard.

"Awfully close" Don't insult my intelligence.

I've read other interviews where he said the sequel is supposed to deviate even further from the Alien movies. I'm hoping this is another clusterfrick of a movie.

He never should have let that LOST writer near his script. Now even Ridley is confused.

He either needs to make a real prequel to Alien or just let it go because, without the implied hook, there is just not enough there to keep the Prometheus story going.

And I liked Prometheus, for the record.

Bingo. And honestly, it would've been a better movie if they wouldn't have tried/not tried/avoided the Alien issue. I spent the whole movie trying to figure out references.
