Fox and Ridley Scott are getting closer to returning to space as Jack Palgen ("Transcendence")  is in talks to write the follow-up to last year's sci-fi blockbuster, "Prometheus."

Scott will produce again through his Scott Free banner though it's unknown at this time if he will direct. Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender are also expected to return.

Plot details are still be worked out but Scott has said in interviews that while the first "Prometheus" had several elements linking it to the "Alien" franchise, this latest installment will feel more like its own film.

Despite not having a greenlight, the sci-fi movie's new screenwriter is a good sign for a project Fox has been wary of committing to even though the last installment, written by Jon Spaihts and Damon Lindelof, made more than $400 million worldwide.

For Palgen, the film marks his second high-profile project following Wally Pfister and Johnny Depp's sci-fi thriller "Transcendence," which opens next April.
