Could Prometheus get two sequels?

Talking on the Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo film show on the UK’s BBC Radio 5 Live, Ridley Scott talked a little more about the links between Prometheus and Alien, and one little nugget suggests he may have plans for not one, but two sequels!

Talking about how the end of Prometheus links to Alien, he said that should the film be a success:

“There’ll be two more of these before you even get to Alien 1″

Sounds like he and the writers have quite a details story arc planned out!

Prometheus is directed by Ridley Scott, from a screenplay by Damon Lindelof and Jon Spaihts. The film stars Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Guy Pearce, Idris Elba, Sean Harris, Rafe Spall, Logan Marshall-Green, Patrick Wilson and Kate Dickie, and is due for release on June 8th 2012 in the USA, and June 1st 2012 in the UK.
