The Daily Mail today reports that Scott has been spotted in Australia scouting locations for his return to the science fiction universe that began with his Alien in 1979. Green Lantern scribe Michael Green recently joined the project, rewriting a draft by Transcendence‘s Jack Paglen.
Prometheus, released in 2012, stars Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Guy Pearce, Idris Elba, Logan Marshall-Green and Charlize Theron. Although none are confirmed as of yet, look for several of those names to return for the sequel, which is expected to enter production this fall.
