It's kind of weird but Scott's good movies are actually smarter than he is.

I wonder how they're going to schedule this and Blomkamp's actual Alien sequel.

Re: Alien: Paradise Lost (Prometheus 2) (D: Scott) S: Fassbender, Rapace

From Dark Horizons:

There's also the obvious question of Neill Blomkamp's fifth "Alien" film which would serve as a direct sequel to "Aliens". With Scott's project now moving fast, there was concern Blomkamp's film might fall by the wayside. That's NOT the case says Scott:

"I'm producing it. The design is for it to go out next, after this. This will go out first. It's more associated with Ripley, it's a completely different angle, it's more of a sequel. I'm coming in from the back end."

I had totally forgot about Blomkamp's project. I'm honestly more excited to see where this guys then that one.

I thought Prometheus was superb from a visual aspect, and Fassbender was great. I also liked a lot more than any the more recent Alien or AvP outings. Then again, not saying much. I really do hate it when for a plot to move forward, characters have to suddenly act uncharacteristically stupid.

I'm a badass geologist and I'll fuck you up! FUCK. I just saw a dead alien body and I'm shitting my pants! I can't remember to navigate.

I'm a biologist. Let me pet this alien lifeform that looks dangerous. FUCK ME! It's killing my arm! NOOOO.

I sincerely hope that Blomkamp's film wasn't delayed so Ridley Scott could take another shit on the Alien franchise.

So we're gonna jump back to Prometheus 2, then forward to Blomkamp's Alien, then back again to Prometheus 3 ... ? Mmkay.

I have no idea what the hell this says.

He is producing "it" which goes out next, but not actually next as "it" is really after "this."

"It" has more to do with a done-to-death dead and obliterated character than "this" which really never had anything to do with that character EVER. (Is that like proclaiming the 16oz bag has 33% MORE *than the 12oz bag? Of course!)

"It" is different as "it" is more of a sequel coming after three other sequels which it needs to be different from, even though it is about the same characters.

The prequel-sequel will be coming from the back side. How does a prequel's story come afterwards? Isn't that a sequel?

I guess Ridley could be coming from the backside ... He's certainly spewing shit out of his mouth, so why not?

His comment made a lot more sense then yours.

He's saying that he's producing the Blomkamp's film. And Ridley's film comes after that. I'm not sure how that's confusing.

I guess the language of the article (or the transcription of Scott's comments) is a bit confusing, then, because I took away that Paradise Lost -- the topic being discussed -- would go out first and Blomkamp's Alien would go out next, after it.

Because he's only using pronouns. We're not sure what it/that is referring to.

It seemed pretty clear to me given the context though.

Re: Alien: Paradise Lost (Prometheus 2) (D: Scott) S: Fassbender, Rapace

So does this mean Scott is taking full control of the Alien franchise, or at least overseeing it at this point? Could mean the nullification of everything other than the first two Aliens and Prometheus.
