Prometheus sequel to be shot in Australia or Canada, says Ridley Scott

The director Ridley Scott has revealed filming for the much anticipated sequel to his 2012 blockbuster Prometheus will take place in either Australia or Canada next February.

Promoting his new sci-fi filmThe Martianat theToronto International film festival, Scott made the revelation when asked whether Michael Fassbender’s android character from the first film, David, would return.

“Fassbender will do this one [Prometheus 2] with me, and it’s meant to start production in February,” the director said in an interview with Deadline.

“I’m in prep now. I’ll either shoot in Aussie or here.”

Scott and his crew were spotted in Australia last May scouting filming locations. At the time it wasn’t clear if this was solely for his Blade Runner sequel.

The Guardian film critic Peter Bradshaw gave Prometheus three stars when it was released, calling the film “muddled, intricate, spectacular”. It was a box office success, earning $403m worldwide.
