Ridley Scott says he got Prometheus wrong
Five years and one impending follow-up later, Ridley Scott is owning up to the shortcomings of Prometheus, his 2012 prequel to the Alien franchise. No, not the plot holes or flat characterization, but rather, the lack of the titular aliens. Scott tells Yahoo Movies U.K. that while he was originally adamant about keeping the Xenomorphs out of his prequels, his decision ended up putting off audiences, whom he now realizes were actually bursting with anticipation to see the iconic monsters stalking Michael Fassbender and Noomi Rapace.
