It took director Ridley Scott just two weeks after his current film The Martian - starring Matt Damon - was shot to be "already on to my next movie" and he confirms that it's Prometheus 2.

20th Century Fox is yet to make production of the sequel official but reports suggested January was when things were going to start happening. Evidently Scott has already begun as he was scouting out locations for the film. Apparently the director had insisted Prometheus 2 get made before the next Aliens movie.

“Ridley was done with the movie about two weeks after we shot!” Matt Damon told Empire. The Martian is about Damon's astronaut character being stranded on Mars after his crew believe him to be dead. He must struggle against perilous odds to survive the very harsh conditions on the Red Planet while trying to contact Earth.

“I was already on to my next movie!” Scott said. “I was starting to look for locations for my next movie, which is 'Prometheus 2.' ”

The Martian is in UK cinemas September 30th, and in the US October 2nd.
