After seeing the spectacular Olympic opening ceremony last night (and considering the fact that Danny Boyle was considered as a director of Alien Resurrection) how about a paring of Boyle and Ridley Scott next time being that Scott has few irons in the fire at the moment and could welcome some new ideas?

Can't edit the post above but wanted to add some thoughts. One could take a few of the themes I listed above and say they might be well used in a Prometheus sequel. Below I'll visit some of these and explain why I feel they are bad ideas for a Prometheus sequel. [b]"Parrallel worlds accessed through dreams"[/b] Personally, I think something like this in Prometheus would be lame to begin with. Above and beyond that I feel it would be adding something to a story that has too much going on already. It would truly be a disaster if explored in the ambiguous Lynchian manner where it's not really even explained that it is a parallel world or that it was accessed through a dream. [b]"Abstract Time"[/b] While on the surface this seems like it might be something cool to explore in a sequel I really have no idea where they would or could fit it in. I'm sure it could be done in a cool way. But again, we have to look at it from a Lynchian perspective. In his films time is abstract due to everything being drawn out to ridiculous lengths. Taking much time and asking a lot of the audience in the way of patience. Like in Eraserhead, the abstract time(as well as everything else, seems to be the product of us seeing everything through the grossly exaggerated point of view of the films protagonist. While I feel a longer, slower approach might be welcomed a bit in the sequel I think it would be better served as a dish al a the original Alien or, better yet, the likes we see in Valhalla Rising and Drive courtesy of my top choice, Winding Refn.
