New Alien Will Appear In Prometheus 2

Earlier in the year Noomi Rapace, who plays Elizabeth Shaw in Prometheus, paid reference to God or [the] Devil in Ridley Scott’s planned sequel.

Ridley says that that is only somewhat on the ball, in a new interview with The Australian. In it, he explains that the script, which is “written (and)…really good,” is “fresh” and “getting away from gods and dragons and shit. If I see one more dragon I’m going to shoot myself. Stop the dragons.”

Scott describes his original Alien as “the definitive dragon and he’s a motherfucker. 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.

I personally hope they bring this more in line with the tone and feel of the original movies…
