Ridley Scott says that production for a sequel to Prometheus begins in February.
At the Toronto International Film Festival, Scott revealed in a n interview that filming on Prometheus 2 will begin one month later than previously reported.
The Prometheus discussion began with Michael Fassbender, who played David the Android in the 2012 film, on whether he would return for the sequel.
“Oh, yes,” Scott confirmed to Deadline. He later added, “Fassbender will do this one with me, and it’s meant to start production in February. I’m in prep, now. I’ll either shoot in Aussie, or here.”
“You can either say, leave the first film alone and jump ahead, but you can’t because it ends on too specific a plot sentence as she says, I want to go where they came from, I don’t want to go back to where I came from,” Scott explained. “I thought the subtext of that film was a bit florid and grandiose, but it asks a good question: who created us?”
