It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything about the planned sequel to Prometheus, but with 20th Century Fox setting an ‘Untitled Ridley Scott Project’ for March 2016, fans’ hopes of a follow-up to 2012’s divisive sci-fi were renewed.
Well, it looks as though we now have confirmation that Prometheus 2 is moving forward, with The Wrap reporting that Michael Green (Green Lantern) has signed on to write the script for the movie, which will apparently fill the 2016 release slot.
Prometheus 2 will mark the second collaboration between Green and Scott with the writer also having worked on the Blade Runner prequel / sequel. However Scott is reportedly keen to press on with the Prometheus sequel first – as is Fox, which isn’t surprising given that the original banked over $400 million around the globe.
