AceShowbiz - It has been years since the plan of untitled Prometheus sequel was announced, but only few updates about the movie have been revealed. Now, the movie's filming date has been revealed. It is set to begin the production in early 2016.
According to an article in the latest printed edition of Total Film, director Ridley Scott hints that he will shoot "Prometheus 2" in January 2016. Speaking to the magazine, Scott says, "I've got back into the sci-fi thing, I kind of adore it."
Although fans were not really impressed with 2012's "Prometheus", they seem to be interested to see how a sequel will perform and how the director improves and develops the story. As the production will begin less than a year from now, it likely means that the team behind the movie must already have the script.
Scott said that there were 15 drafts of the script going around and there have been rumors about the plot details. Back in 2014, the director said that the titular alien Xenomorph would not appear in the sequel, reasoning that the monster was overused so he decided to leave it out. Months later, Scott hinted that he would introduce a new species of alien for the sequel and there wouldn't be any shortage of creepy, strange creatures in the upcoming film.
Michael Fassbender and Noomi Rapace are set to reprise their roles as David and Elizabeth Shaw respectively. Scott and Walter Hill produce the movie while the script is written by Michael Green. The sci-fi movie is set to hit U.S. theaters on March 3, 2016.
