A L I E N FIVE Neill Blomkamp's ALIEN movie

Gawddangit. Darn you Ridley!

My thought exactly. Even if Prometheus was gorgeous from a production design standpoint and an OK scifi-horror movie, it was an abomination as part of the Alien series. I would much rather have Ripley and Hicks back for one more battle than any quasi-prequel crap. I wonder if RS became jealous that Alien 5 was getting more interest than P2.

What is also odd is that this comes right after he posts the photo of the Pulse Rifle...
 
Here's an honest question: why? Why the frankenstein can't you make them at the same time? Seriously :facepalm
 
Its ego isn't it?

When he made the first one he decided he was done with it, and didn't care who made the sequels or how many they made, suddenly he gets to a point in his life where he starts wanting to make sequels and prequels to his past hits, and now he's worried the new kids on the block will make better films than him, so he is not letting anyone else play with his toys.
 
Because they would be competing for ticket sales.

Only if they're released at the same time. No harm in making them at the same time. Plenty of movies just sit on a shelf gathering dust before they get released for days, months some even years. So make them as fast as you can without compromising quality.

They don't have the bandwidth (resources and personnel) to do both at the same time, plus public awareness of both titles simultaneously will result in less tickets being sold. They can't sit on such a high profile film either.
 
Ridley Scott is going to be executive producer on Alien 5 as well as produce and direct Promethius 2. I'm sure he would like to focus on one at a time to give them the attention they deserve.

Ridley Scott Admits He Wants Control Over The 'Alien' Sequels

*here's where Jeyl goes beserk*

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!.......

We were blessed with one of the best freaking sequels ever made and Scott not only shoots down the proper sequel to ALIENS, he says he wished he didn't let the franchise get away from him in the first place. So, how are we to proceed Sir. Ridley Scott?

John Logan re-writes Promethus 2 script
