A Prometheus sequel is not a certainty according to writer Damon Lindelof.
Prometheus is one of the most highly anticipated movies of 2012 so far and the Ridley Scott directed movie has stormed to the top of the UK box office over the weekend.
Lindelof reveals that he and Scott discussed how much should be revealed in the movie while the writer always considered that they may not get the chance to do a second movie.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter the writer said: "Ridley was very interested in talking about, 'What are the answers to the questions that Prometheus is posing that are not necessarily definitively spelled out in the body of Prometheus?'
"I said to him, 'We should be prepared for people to feel frustrated if we're going to be withholding, so we have to be very careful about what we're saving for later', because it's not a foregone conclusion that there are going to be sequels."
But the movie seems to be doing well with both the critics and audiences as it sees Scott return to the sci-fi genre for the first time in over thirty years.
Prometheus is out now.
