PROMETHEUS 2 Will Be Happening From The GREEN LANTERN Guy; More Fass For Your Dollar

 

The Wrap; which seems to be on the ball latley; have dropped some details regarding the sequel to 2012's PROMETHEUS, which has probably been the most polarizing main-stream film in recent memory.
Love it or hate it; one thing is unanimous, and that is that star Michael Fassbender's David android was the biggest draw, and don't worry: he'll be back x20.
Also, if you're a fan of WB's Green Lantern film from 2011, you'll be pleased to know that Michael Green will write the sequel to Scott's sci-fi horror adventure.

After working with Ridley Scott on a new “Blade Runner” movie, veteran scribe Michael Green has been hired to rewrite the untitled “Prometheus” sequel for 20th Century Fox, TheWrap has learned.

Jack Paglen (“Transcendence”) wrote the original draft of the screenplay.

One of the biggest gripes about PROMETHEUS seemed to have been the script (written by LOSTs Damon Lindelof) and hiring the guy from Green Lantern probably won't quell those fanboy tears any.
The article goes on:

“Prometheus” served as an ‘unofficial’ prequel to Scott's seminal 1979 sci-fi movie “Alien,” and the sequel that Green will write aims to be much more “alien-y” and in line with the terrifying tone of past films in the franchise. Additionally, the sequel is expected to feature multiple ‘David’ androids, which means there will be more than one Michael Fassbender on screen at the same time, according to an individual familiar with the project.

More Michael Fassbender is never a bad thing, given that the previous film ended with him as a talking head going off to find the Engineer homeworld with Noomi Rapace's Dr. Shaw. 

Despite it's divisive critical impact, the first film made about $400 million total, which is actually pretty amazing for an R-Rated science fiction feature.

No word on exactly who is cast yet; but I'd expect Rapace to return as well as Fassbender.

Expect to see PROMETHEUS: 2Fass 2Furious in theaters March 2016.
