Ridley Scott Gives An Update On Sequels To ‘Prometheus’ And ‘Blade Runner’

Whether you love it or you hated it, Prometheus was definitely a box office hit this summer. The film grossed $402 million globally and with the DVD/Blu-ray hitting shelves this week…it’s definitely going to be making some more pocket change. So, of course we are getting a sequel. And even if you hated Prometheus, you’re probably going to see the sequel. Director Ridley Scott recently spoke with Metro and gave a small update on what we should expect to see next:

“Prometheus evolved into a whole other universe. You’ve got a person [Noomi Rapace’s Elizabeth Shaw] with a head in a bag [ Michael Fassbender’s David] that functions and has an IQ of 350. It can explain to her how to put the head back on the body and she’s gonna think about that long and hard because, once the head is back on his body, he’s dangerous. They’re going off to paradise but it could be the most savage, horrible place. Who are the Engineers?”

The Blade Runner sequel also came up in the chat. Scott addressed his involvement with the film as well as further confirming that Deckard was definitely a replicant.

“It’s not a rumour – it’s happening. With Harrison Ford? I don’t know yet. Is he too old? Well, he was a Nexus-6 so we don’t know how long he can live [laughs]. And that’s all I’m going to say at this stage.”

I’m actually looking forward to both of these especially if Scott is going to be directing the Blade Runner sequel. I’m also very curious if they’re going to tie together after that interesting note that seemed to tie the films together. But let’s not jump too ahead of ourselves here.
