I'm Convinced Prometheus Would Have More Than 1 Sequel By Now If It Hadn't Been An Alien Movie

While Prometheusfailed to launch the Alien franchise in a new direction, the movie likely would have had a longer legacy had it lost its Alien connections. Following the failure of Alien: Resurrection and the disappointment of the Alien vs. Predator crossover movies, it seemed like the Alien franchise was at risk of ending. However, fans were given a new reason to be hopeful with the announcement that Ridley Scott, the director who started it all with 1979's Alien, would be returning with a new movie, Prometheus.
