时光网讯
鉴于《普罗米修斯》良好的票房表现——尤其是影片在R级科幻片中的票房水准，20世纪福斯电影公司已将续集正式提上制作日程，并且会为导演雷德利·斯科特提供了更为宽松的制作环境。
《普罗米修斯》上映之后，得到了较为中庸的评价。而在影迷圈内，对影片的评价也分成了两派。《异形》的粉丝觉得影片是一部不错的前传，并且留下了更多的疑问等待续集解读；而另一些影迷则认为影片的剧情松散。想必在《普罗米修斯2》中，斯科特会谨慎处理影片的故事，以便让那些并不迷恋《异形》的观众得到娱乐。
演员方面，迈克尔·法斯宾德、劳米·拉佩斯将悉数回归。
据悉，续集的上映日期则被大致定在了2014年和2015年之间。不过，考虑到斯科特手上还有一大票电影拍摄计划，影片很有可能会被放在2015年上映。《普罗米修斯》自6月上映以来，北美票房达1.25亿美元，全球票房也突破了3亿美元。
普罗米修斯2编剧确定主演悉数回归
雷德利·斯科特执导的科幻大作《普罗米修斯》自去年面世以来，不仅在全球范围内获得4.03亿美元的票房收入，而且重新点燃了影迷们对这一系列的热情。据最新消息，二十世纪福斯公司已经正式开始运作续集《普罗米修斯2》，由于原编剧达蒙·林德洛夫因故退出，《超验骇客》编剧杰克·派格伦（Jack Paglen）将接手续集剧本。虽然尚未正式宣布，但前作两位主演迈克尔·法斯宾德、劳米·拉佩斯已经基本确定回归，而导演雷德利·斯科特尚未确定是否继续执导。
杰克·派格伦（Jack Paglen）虽然还是好莱坞编剧新手，不过他最近参与撰写的影片《超验骇客》（诺兰御用摄影师瓦利·菲斯特导演处女作）却得到了不少业内人士的好评，其中就包括影片主演约翰尼·德普。由于《普罗米修斯》结尾走向颇具开放性，一方面这给派格伦提供了创作空间，另一方面也是考验他把控能力的一大难题。
根据早前的报道，《普罗米修斯》女主角劳米·拉佩斯在最近受访中已经向外媒透露她将回归到这部影片中来：“几个星期之前，我在伦敦见到了雷德利·斯科特，他说他们正在筹备第二部的剧本。我非常喜欢和斯科特合作，希望续集能有一个更好的故事……他现在在和迈克尔（法斯宾德）拍《顾问》，（《普罗米修斯2》）再合作应该不是一个问题。”
雷德利·斯科特目前正忙于制作新片《顾问》，接下来还要上马讲述圣徒摩西的史诗大作《出埃及记》，所以目前只是答应担任制片人。据悉，二十世纪福斯公司希望影片能在2014年正式开拍，明年底或者2015年上映，最迟不要拖到2016年。

《普罗米修斯2》不再有"异形" 新外星人将登场
之前有消息称因忙于拍摄《火星人》，导演雷德利-斯科特或将放弃执导《普罗米修斯2》，显然是多虑了。日前，在宣传《出埃及记》时，斯科特透露影片中将不会再出现“异形”，届时会有全新的外星人登场。女主角劳米-拉佩斯也从自己的角色伊丽莎白-肖的视角透露了一些可能的剧情，以及她与迈克尔-法斯宾德饰演的大卫在离开LV-223星球后的旅程。
在《普罗米修斯》的结尾，一只初生异形现身银幕，也正是它在后来的故事中把西格妮-韦弗饰演的宇航员折磨得够呛。但导演斯科特表示在已经完成的剧本中，没有任何涉及异形的剧情，“如果还有异形，我就开枪自杀……”，在已经有四部《异形》外加两部《异形大战铁血战士》，以及一部《普罗米修斯》之后，斯科特显然已经厌倦了这个生物。因此在第一部末尾出现的怪兽很可能是异形的最后一次亮相，斯科特透露在续集中将会出现全新的外星人。
劳米-拉佩斯日前在接受采访时表示，由于影片没开拍，自己也不清楚剧情走向具体是怎样的，“我不知道导演斯科特将会拍摄一个什么样的故事，但我真的十分期待。”拉佩斯也对自己的角色给出了一点想象：肖是奔着星球“天堂”而去的，她想找寻这些智人最初来源，以及为什么要杀掉人类的原因，在肖的心里，那颗星球无疑是个“黑暗天堂”，她带着疑问、好奇和愤怒向目的地进发。
不过影片何时能投入拍摄还不得而知，斯科特如今正在执导马特-达蒙主演的《火星人》，之后才可能把《普罗米修斯2》或是《银翼杀手2》排上日程。
脸被打肿。。不对，压根没有普罗米修斯2，当然没异形

《普罗米修斯2》定名"Alien: Paradise Lost"
《普罗米修斯》最初的片名就叫"Paradise"，启发自著名诗人约翰·弥尔顿的长篇史诗《失乐园》(Paradise Lost)。这么来看，续集定名《异形：失乐园》也就不难理解了。

传闻：蝶舞女主丽贝卡加盟《普罗米修斯2》
A recent rumor suggested Rebecca Ferguson was on Marvel's radar for their Captain Marvel flick, but even if that was the case, it doesn't appear to be something she's in the mix for now if the following report from Deadline is anything to go by.
One thing she is in talks for is director Thomas Alfredson's adaptation of best-selling novel, The Snowman, opposite Michael Fassbender - and the site go on to make mention of several other projects she might be lining up after that.
The most interesting to you CBMers will surely be Ridley Scott's sequel to Prometheus (which may or may not stick with the title "Alien: Paradise Lost"), which Deadline reckon Ferguson is being heavily courted for. No "concrete talks" yet, but apparently the latest draft of the script is "very strong with a peach of a major female role" that the actress may well take an interest in.

异形5被叫停，为普罗米修斯2让路
布洛姆坎普宣布自己导演的《异形5》已被叫停，只为给雷德利·斯科特的【普罗米修斯】续集【异形：失乐园】让路。《异形：失乐园》已在澳大利亚开始拍摄，暂定2017年12月31日公映
科幻续作《异形5》今日正式宣布暂停制作，导演尼尔·布洛姆坎普数小时前通过推特证实了此事，表示：“《异形5》目前暂停制作了，未来取决于《普罗米修斯2》的进度。尽管我很爱雷德利和异形世界，可现在也该去忙其他项目了。”
《第九区》一战成名的布洛姆坎普对《异形》系列特别是前两部爱得深沉。他从今年年初就开始忙于准备《异形5》，并不断通过自己社交账号更新概念图和制作进度。由于《异形5》的制片人雷德利·斯科特现在把工作重心放在自己导演的《异形：失乐园》（即《普罗米修斯2》）上，布洛姆坎普的项目就被搁置一旁了，重启看起来遥遥无期。
《异形：失乐园》已在澳大利亚开始拍摄，暂定2017年12月31日公映。雷德利·斯科特最近曾暗示要再出一部《普罗米修斯》续集，或许这个计划也是致使《异形5》被叫停的诸多因素之一。
Ridley Scott let it slip that his brewing "Prometheus" sequel, at one time titled "Alien: Paradise Lost," was now called "Alien: Covenant." And now, 20th Century Fox has made it official.
The studio has officially announced "Alien: Covenant," and even more, unveiled an official synopsis, which curiously makes specific mention of Michael Fassbender's David, but no Noomi Rapace's Elizabeth Shaw: Ridley Scott returns to the universe he created in ALIEN with ALIEN: COVENANT, the second chapter in a prequel trilogy that began with PROMETHEUS -- and connects directly to Scott’s 1979 seminal work of science fiction. Bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, the crew of the colony ship Covenant discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world -- whose sole inhabitant is the "synthetic" David (Michael Fassbender), survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition.
Last month, Scott revealed that the sequel would feature "a new group of travelers in the beginning of the first act,” while "Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation" star Rebecca Ferguson was said to be eyed for the female lead. Does this mean Rapace is out? We'll soon see.
Production begins in February and "Alien: Covenant" arrives on October 6, 2017.

插一个银翼杀手续集的新闻帖
《银翼杀手2》开场画面的故事板
由《边境杀手》导演丹尼斯·维伦纽瓦执导，雷德利·斯科特和汉普顿·范彻等人编剧，哈里森·福特回归主演的科幻作品《银翼杀手2》近日曝光了开场画面的故事板手稿。此前被曝有望加盟影片的瑞恩·高斯林近日也在采访中亲自确认参演。
手稿中画面聚焦一所驻扎在旷野中的小房子，一个神秘的男子从一辆奇怪的车子中走下来，走进了屋子里。近日，雷德利·斯科特阐述了整个开场画面。
瑞恩·高斯林在为新片《大空头》接受采访时也第一次确认了要参演本片，还表示《银翼杀手2》将是他下一部计划拍摄的电影。“高司令”透露参演本片很大一部分原因是能和导演丹尼斯·维伦纽瓦、摄影罗杰·狄金斯合作，不过他不愿意透露关于影片的更多情节，开玩笑说道：“我身体里有个芯片，如果我透露了更多内容我就会爆炸。
《银翼杀手》是斯科特在科幻片领域取得的第二项重大突破，同时也是有史以来最受推崇和影响力最大的科幻片之一。然而在影片最初上映的1982年，斯科特回忆起当时的影评人对它并不友好，电影院也冷冷清清。分析原因，他相信是影片视觉的内容过于强烈，从而干扰了观众对原本很简单的故事的理解和接受。“背景本身是如此引人注目，它分散了观众的注意力，他们无法全盘吸收”，斯科特表示：“故事相当直来直去，但背景却很高深难懂，它是在场景美术设计师，特别是赛得·米德(Syd Mead)的精心设计之下建造起来的。”
事实上斯科特并非《银翼杀手2》的导演，而是以制片人的身份进行前期筹划，而该片将由丹尼斯·维伦纽瓦（《边境杀手》）担任导演。斯科特透露了目前关于该片的一些细节。 首部曲的编剧将回归，“过去三年我一直在和编剧Michael Green研究续集，他是个很不错的家伙。“斯科特透露道：”之后Alcon公司从华纳买下了这个片子，他们问我想不想参与，想不想执导，我说是的。他们又问我有没有什么点子。这种情况下，你会永远回答有，即使你没有。我给搬到纽约去住汉普顿·范彻（Hampton Fancher，注：首部曲编剧）打电话，他一接到就说，‘哦不，怎么又是你’，因为当时我们俩在合作首部曲的时候不太愉快，但我仍认为那是我拥有过的最佳剧本之一。我告诉他来伦敦，最终他还是来了，我们已经坐在那里花了好几个星期时间润色剧本。”
“我们决定让续集和首部曲在同样的起跑器上出发”，斯科特说，“我们一直很喜欢关于反乌托邦宇宙的想法，我们从一个被形容为‘工厂化农场’的地方出发——那是一片用来耕作的平地。在怀俄明，一望无际，没有丝毫起伏，放眼能看到20英里以外。没有栅栏，只有被犁过的干燥的泥土。回过头你能看到一颗大树，它已经枯死，但躯干还在，被绳索支撑立起来。就有点像是《愤怒的葡萄》，尘土飞扬，只有一棵树还在站立。树的旁边是一间很传统的，类似于《愤怒的葡萄》里面的带着门廊的白色小屋。在小屋的背后，大概2英里开外的暮色当中，是一辆巨大的对整个农场进行施肥的联合收割机。”
“收割机前面是16盏强光灯，它的个头是小屋的四倍。这时，一辆飞车进入画面，扬起大片尘土。当然，就像老电影里那样，你听到有狗叫，然后门打开了，一个人走出来，你看清他就是Rick Deckard（注：第一部中哈里森·福特饰演的主角）。他走进小屋，打开门，坐下来，起身闻了闻炖肉，又坐下来，等开收割机的人到门口。那个人看见了他，于是把收割机停在小屋后面。收割机比小屋高出三层，而那个人放下一把梯子，爬了下来。他是个大块头。”
“他走上阳台，走向哈里森，小屋吱吱作响，那个家伙得有350磅。”正当观众急不可耐的时候，斯科特的剧透到此结束，“我不会告诉你们接下来发生了什么——你们得去影院看。”
观众对《银翼杀手2》的胃口被吊了起来，时长一个小时的斯科特的交流也让人意犹未尽。在活动的尾声，斯科特再次用简洁而深刻的言语总结了自己的工作以及导演生涯能够长青的原因：“我的工作是让人们走进影院，是去娱乐人们——那就是我的职责，我是一名娱乐家”，他说，“因此，越史诗性的作品（epic）越好——我认为所有东西都应该是具有史诗性的。我早上起床就是史诗性的！所有东西都应该史诗；否则就是乏味。”

Ridley Scott: 'Alien: Covenant' Is First of 3 Films Before Linking Up With Original 'Alien'
The director revealed details of the 'Alien' origin stories as he begins pre-production on the followup to 'Prometheus' in Australia.
Ridley Scott confirmed that he is planning another two Prometheus sequels to follow Alien: Covenant before the Prometheus storyline meets up with the original 1979 Alien.
Alien: Covenant and the following two films will be origin stories, answering the “very basic questions posed in Alien: why the alien, who might have made it and where did it come from?” Scott revealed at a press conference in Sydney where he is starting pre-production on Covenant, the first sequel to Prometheus.
“Its a very complex story. Its an evolution of what I first did with Prometheus 1,” he said of the new film, which tells the story of the crew of the colony ship Covenant, who discover what they think is an uncharted paradise but is actually a dark, dangerous world, whose sole inhabitant is the synthetic David (Michael Fassbender), survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition.
“Prometheus 1 was borne out of my frustration that on Alien 1 in 1979 - I only did one as I don't normally do sequels. I was amazed that in the 3 that followed that no-one asked the question "why the Alien, who made it and why?" Very basic questions. So I came up with the notion of Prometheus 1, which starts to indicate who might have made it and where it came from,” Scott said.
"So I’m now going to the next one, which is the next evolution directly connected with the first one, which was this Shaw, when he replaced Michael Fassbender in two pieces and we’ll kind of pick it up there and it will evolve. When that’s finished there’ll be another one and then another one which will gradually drive into the back entrance of the film in 1979,” the British director revealed.
“So in other words, why was this space jockey there and why did he have an Alien inside him? And those questions will be answered,” he added.
Scott’s aversion to sequels is clearly fading – and in part inspired by the new Star Wars films.
“Star Wars will be a juggernaut. Why do you think I’m doing sequels,” he quipped.
Alien: Covenant will shoot at Sydney’s Fox Studios from March with Michael Fassbender to reprise his Prometheus role as the synthetic David. Other casting hasn’t been confirmed although Scott did say that Prometheus 1 star Noomi Rapace will only appear briefly in Covenant. Scott is keen to use Australian actors, revealing that that he wanted Cate Blanchett for The Martian but she was unavailable.
Shooting will be a mix of location and studio shoots with location requiting “monumental forest and monumental rock and the rest will be in the studio with fairly formidable CGI. The Martian was made for the most part 94 pecent in a Budapest studio. With green screen I now can’t tell what was studio and what was shot in Wadi Rum,” Scott said.
Michael Fassbender will arrive in Sydney in mid-March for the 16 week shoot.
The NSW state government said the film will contribute more than $43.3 million (AUS$60 million) to the state’s economy and employ more than 600 local cast and crew.
The Australian government committed a one off grant to get the film made in Australia. That grant in effect raised Australian location tax offset from 16 percent to 30 percent, a move which its now considering making permanent for all productions. A decision will be made on that before May next year, foreign minister Julie Bishop, who secured the shoot for Australia, said.
At the same time Scott revealed that Blade Runner 2, which we wrote and will produce, with Denis Villeneuve directing, will be made in Budapest, where he made The Martian, and Beijing.
But he said the idea is to shoot the three Prometheus/Alien films in Australia.

That grant in effect raised Australian location tax offset from 16 percent to 30 percent, a move which its now considering making permanent for all productions. A decision will be made on that before May next year, foreign minister Julie Bishop, who secured the shoot for Australia, said.
At the same time Scott revealed that Blade Runner 2, which we wrote and will produce, with Denis Villeneuve directing, will be made in Budapest, where he made The Martian, and Beijing.
But he said the idea is to shoot the three Prometheus/Alien films in Australia.
雷德利斯科特：《异形:契约》是“异形起源三部曲”的第一部。
老雷透露了一些关于异形起源故事的细节，并且在澳大利亚开始它的前期制作。
老雷称自己还计划将其打造成新的三部曲（暂时称为起源三部曲），这三部最后会承接着1979年《异形》的故事。
电影《异形》中最核心的问题就是——他们是什么，谁制造了他们，他们从哪来的。雷德利斯科特透露，这些问题将在这三部曲中得以找到答案。
这是一个非常复杂的故事，就如同《普罗米修斯》一样。
起源三部曲将在明年3月于悉尼开拍，法鲨已经确认回归，继续扮演机器人大卫，而《普罗米修斯》的女主角只会有短暂亮相，其他均为确认。不过雷德利斯科特似乎有意选澳洲演员出演。
同时老雷透露银翼杀手2将会在布达佩斯和北京制作。。。

虽然#普罗米修斯#续集《异形：契约》先行，让原本计划的《#异形5#》前途未卜。不过迈克尔·比恩接受采访透露的消息带来了希望。他透露尼尔·布洛姆坎普打算让他和纽特复活！也就是异形2中的小女孩！而这条消息正好吻合一直流传的第五部剧情衔接第二部的内容！

Katherine Waterston to Star in New 'Alien' Movie
The movie reunites her with her 'Steve Jobs' co-star Michael Fassbender.
Katherine Waterston will star opposite Michael Fassbender in Alien: Covenant, Ridley Scott’s latest Alien movie, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
The pic, which is prepping for an early 2016 shoot in Australia, will serve as both a prequel to Scott’s 1979 classic Alien and a sequel to Alien prequel Prometheus.
Plot details are being kept off-planet, but sources say the story once again sees a space crew facing the deadly chest-bursting, acid blood-spewing creatures.
The casting caps an amazing year for Waterston, who had a breakout role in Paul Thomas Anderson’s Inherent Vice, then followed up by nabbing a leading role in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which is one of Warner Bros.’ big plays for 2016. In the fall, she portrayed Steve Jobs’ ex-girlfriend and the mother of his daughter in Steve Jobs.
Waterston is repped by UTA and Silver Linings Entertainment.

普罗米修斯女主确认回归
officially joined Alien: Covenant! Shaw WILL return!
In a bizarre and somewhat unexpected turn of events, it looks like Noomi Rapace will be starring in Alien: Covenant after all! According to an exclusive new report by Deadline, Rapace is currently in Sydney filming weeks worth of footage for Ridley Scott's Prometheus sequel!
Sources say Rapace is in Australia and on the set to shoot weeks worth of scenes in Scott’s film, which brings back Fassbender’s robot character and has a cast that includes Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup, Danny McBride and Demian Bichir. Info is on lockdown, so we’ll have to wait for the film to be released August 4, 2017 by Fox to see how it all worked out.
Originally, it was insinuated that Noomi's character Shaw would not be returning for Covenant. Even the official plot synopsis avoid mention of her character and only reference the only survivor of the doomed Prometheus mission being Michael Fassbender's David. However, early plot leaks we were provided hinted that Shaw's journey was going to be its own parallel story line, running next to that of the new crew of the Covenant. When the re-writes began and the film's official synopsis landed, we began to worry that Shaw was written out or that her journey was being saved for a later sequel.
It would seem now, that our worries were misplaced and that we will in fact get to see what becomes of Elizabeth Shaw after all! As a fan of Prometheus who enjoyed Noomi's portrayal of the character, I couldn't be more thrilled!
Are you excited Noomi Rapace is going to star in Alien: Covenant and reprise her role as Shaw once again? Sound off in the comments and don't forget to keep it locked to Scified for the absolute latest, breaking news on Alien: Covenant!
