Damon Lindelof Dishes on 'Prometheus 2'

Fox Fox

Last summer's sci-fi epic "Prometheus" wasn't exactly universally loved, but one thing has to be said for it: It certainly got people talking. And that talking is still going on, as one rumor or report after another about the upcoming sequel "Prometheus 2" seems to hit the internet every other day.

So why should today be any different? This week's big "Prometheus 2" news: Damon Lindelof has explained at length to Slash Film just why "Prometheus 2" isn't "Alien," why he's not writing it and why anybody who blames him for "Prometheus 2" sucking even before it exists is probably mental.

Hey guys, remember "Prometheus?" Last summer, everyone was totally psyched up for Ridley Scott's long-awaited prequel to his 1979 masterpiece "Alien." And then the movie actually came out and it was, like, the most confusing mess of nonsense ever put together.

Geez, the bruise on our forehead from all that slapping hasn't even healed yet! Get More »

Our 'Prometheus' Blu-ray Giveaway Is Otherworldly

Prometheus on Blu-ray 20th Century Fox

If you're like us, you really liked "Prometheus" but left the theater somewhat perplexed. Ridley Scott's sorta-prequel to "Alien" has gorgeous visuals, at least one squirm-inducing abortion sequence (shudder!) and first-rate performances but definitely leaves several questions regarding, well, almost everything unanswered.

At least a few of these blanks will be filled in now that one of the year's most imaginative yet maddening films is hitting Blu-ray and DVD. The home video release of "Prometheus" contains many behind-the-scenes featurettes and deleted scenes that dig deep into the film's convoluted sci-fi mythology and help paint a clearer picture of Scott's stunning vision ... while still retaining a sense of mystery, of course (you have to leave some things for the sequel!).

The elder Scott was in the middle of shooting his latest film "The Counselor" for 20th Century Fox when he was given the news of his younger brother's suicide, and now Variety reports that shooting on the picture has been suspended for at least the rest of the week. Get More »

What Did Fassbender Say to the Engineer in 'Prometheus'? Now We Know

Fox

Over the course of Ridley Scott's frustratingly ambiguous space epic "Prometheus" the only thing we really learn about the oddball android David (Michael Fassbender) or his motivations is that the dude liked to touch everything. A lot.

One of the biggest mysteries was *SPOILER* what exactly David uttered in unsubtitled Proto-Indo-European to the giant engineer douche who then goes on a pointless killing spree, but Stu Holmes over at The Bioscopist got the skinny directly from Dr. Anil Biltoo of the SOAS Language Centre in London.

In Space No One Can See These 4 'Prometheus' Clips

Noomi Rapace in "Prometheus"

Ridley Scott defined sci-fi terror with 1979's "Alien," so it's only fitting that the director would redefine the genre with "Prometheus," a prequel that takes many detours into rabbit holes of philosophical pondering.

What are they pondering, exactly? Only the nature and purpose of mankind's origin, that's all. No biggie. Oh, and there's monsters! This epic stars Charlize Theron, Noomi Rapace, Idris Elba and the amazing Michael Fassbender as a robot to be reckoned with.
