Alien: Paradise Lost – formerly titled Prometheus 2 – is a forthcoming 2017 science fiction-horror film being directed by Ridley Scott (Alien; Blade Runner; Hannibal) from a screenplay by Jack Paglen (Transcendence), Michael Green (Green Lantern).
The cast announced so far are: Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender and (in negotiations) Rik Barnett.
In an online interview, Ridley Scott told HeyUGuys.com:
“It’s not going to be Prometheus 2. You know the poem [by John Milton]? It sounds intellectual, but there’s a similarity to it.”
“We’re heading back to why and how and when the [Alien] beast was invented,” he further explained later. “We’ll go back into the back door of the very first Alien.”
