OH FOR FUCK’S SAKE (from /Film):

Even before the release of Ridley Scott’s Prometheus, which acts as a (rather distant) prequel to his 1979 film Alien, we’ve known the director and his screenwriters Jon Spaihts and Damon Lindelof had ideas for a sequel. Indeed, the end of Prometheus, not to give anything away, is open enough to a sequel that Scott could pick up the story pretty easily.
And, yes, there is still interest in that project at Fox and from Scott, but scheduling issues mean that key player Lindelof may not take part. A bit more on that, along with a rundown on sequel possibilities at other studios, is below.
I’ve literally been sitting here for the last hour, trying to think of any scenario that would make a Prometheus sequel worthwhile in any way, shape or form, and I came up with one singular premise: Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender’s head have to race across the galaxy, chased by a Xenomorph wearing a ’70s cop outfit and a pencil-thin mustache. Basically, Smokey and the Bandit in space. That’s the only way I’ll see Prometheus 2. Your move, Ridley Scott.
