MemberOvomorphNovember 11, 2012I just found this article on collider.com after first reading an article on the Huffington post about Prometheus and Paradise. Before I continue, here is the link:
[url=http://collider.com/prometheus-2-sequel/172444/]PROMETHEUS Sequel Recap: What We Know About the Possible Follow-Up So Far[/url]
What I got out of this article was a potential date for Paradise - probably before or on 2015. The most likely reason why the Engineers wanted to destroy the Earth 2000 years ago: RS and DL actually had the reason in Prometheus but removed it because it was too 'on the nose'. From what I can ascertain, by the beginning of our modern AD calender, we had become too aggressive running around with shields and weapons and warring contently so the Engineers MAY have sent one last emissary and you guessed it - we crucified him! So that's probably why they earmarked us for death. I suspected this before but with these included partial interviews by RS and others it strengthens the theses. It totally fits too. Notice how they repeat the phrase 'in the year of our Lord..' The clues were really there but I think we all got distracted with the phantasmagoria of special effects to notice it.
Also due to Damon Lindelof's busy schedule writing a new series and other projects, he may not be part of the sequel, however if Ridley Scott asks him he said he would have a hard time turning him down. Another thing that comes out of this article is that Fox studios does not want to rush it but rather wants to get it right, which is reassuring considering how they rushed the release of Aliens to the point where James Horner barely had time to get the sheet music to the musicians before release according to 'Superior Firepower', the documentary on Aliens. Anyway read this 'for your personal edification' as the superintendent Andrews put it in Alien3.
