Recently there has been confusion as to the numbers of sequels there will be to the 2012 film Prometheus, but Ridley Scott (who directed the film and is subsequently directing its sequels) has revealed that two more sequels will follow Alien: Covenant, the first of the sequels.
Scott is quoted as saying the following on why he decided to do the Prometheus series:
“Prometheus 1 was born out of my frustration that on Alien 1 in 1979 – I only did one as I don’t normally do sequels. I was amazed that in the 3 that followed that no-one asked the question ‘why the Alien, who made it and why?’ Very basic questions. So I came up with the notion of Prometheus 1, which starts to indicate who might have made it and where it came from. So I’m now going to the next one, which is the next evolution directly connected with the first one, which was this Shaw, when he replaced Michael Fassbender in two pieces and we’ll kind of pick it up there and it will evolve. When that’s finished there’ll be another one and then another one which will gradually drive into the back entrance of the film in 1979. So in other words, why was this space jockey there and why did he have an Alien inside him? And those questions will be answered.”
Alien: Covenant is scheduled for release on October 6th, 2017.
