Prometheus seemed like either half a movie, or a missed opportunity. The film conjures the mystery of the origin of the Alien, the intentions of the creators, and going to their world to get the answer. When I realized Prometheus was not going to answer it's own questions, and not go to the alien world, I was very displeased with the film.

It would be a shame for there not to be a concluding Prometheus film.

As for a new Alien film taking off where Aliens left off... there really isn't any continuing story. Aliens just retold the same Alien premise, except with a lot of action. The company wants the Alien creature for it's weapons division. Same premise for both. Prometheus is the only film adding to it.

Still, if Scott and/or Cameron wrote/directed a new Alien film, especially with Weaver, I'd love to see it. I could care less about Newt and Hicks. But I'd like to see Bishop join Ripley. Too bad Paxton's character died; he was hilarious.
