And while there has been talk of a sequel that would further explore those dangling plot threads, there hasn&#8217;t been any concrete movement on the project until now.<\/p>\n<p>Studio Twentieth Century Fox and Scott are currently in talks with screenwriter Jack Palgen to write the script for <strong>Prometheus 2<\/strong>. That&#8217;s a pretty big gig for a writer whose only credit so far is the science-fiction thriller <strong>Transcendence<\/strong> currently filming with Johnny Depp and not due in theaters until next year.<\/p>\n<p>Presumably, Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender will be returning for the new film as their characters are the only ones left alive at the end of <strong>Prometheus<\/strong>. We last saw them heading out towards the homeworld of the Engineers, the humanoid aliens who are responsible for both the creation of the human race and the xenomorphs of the <strong>Alien<\/strong> franchise.<\/p>\n<p>Less sure about their participation is Ridley Scott. <a href=\"http:\/\/variety.com\/2013\/film\/news\/transcendence-scribe-to-pen-prometheus-sequel-1200478483\/\" target=\"_blank\">Variety<\/a> is reporting that while the director will be producing the film through his Scott Free production company &#8220;it&#8217;s unknown at this time if he will direct.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">But Ridley Scott may not be back to direct.<\/div>\n<p> <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2013\/06\/17\/prometheus-2\/\" title=\"Fox Hires Writer For PROMETHEUS 2\">[click for more]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":28897,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[6519,5478,416],"series":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-28896","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-jack-palgen","9":"tag-prometheus-2","10":"tag-ridley-scott"},"aioseo_notices":[],"nelio_content":{"autoShareEndMode":"never","automationSources":{"useCustomSentences":false,"customSentences":[]},"efiAlt":"","efiUrl":"","followers":[2],"highlights":[],"isAutoShareEnabled":false,"networkImageIds":[],"permalinkQueryArgs":[],"series":[],"suggestedReferences":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28896","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28896"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28896\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28897"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28896"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28896"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28896"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=28896"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
