Great, now I DEFINITELY CAN NOT WAIT ANY LONGER for at least a trailer, PLEASE OH my GOD!

"ya- rrright!?"

Thought I would sign up here, bit slow at the moment. An acquaintence of mine has been to the set for this and was a press meet with Ridley. Apparently he is going all out Avatar style on this film. Not the in the creative sense I mean this is his sci-fi epic.

Hi all, stumbled on this by chance not many hours ago, funky site so far..

It's on Amazon for £11.00 in the UK.

Been looking at this book for a while, think it's cheaper on Amazon now so I may well buy..I have the Book of Alien and an earlier larger format book simply called Alien (with a black cover and central image of Nostromo and the refinery).

I remember this painting from way back, what springs to mind is that this was to be used in the movie, as a wall painting or sculpture within what was supposed to be the Alien Pyramid? Before the space jockey ship came into existence?

You didn't have to remove your artwork Biomechanic, why did you decide to do so?

Hey Bio, I totally dont know what are you referring to, I just want to say that I also think that your work is outstanding, and just ignore any offensive stuff that you might read. Like Spartacus says, what matters is the effort. Anyway, peace.. Everyone have sweet dreams (with chestbusters and stuff)

I am a highly Americanized Canadian so maybe I can give you guys some perspective. I prefer American TV, Sports, Culture, Women and almost everything else to it's Canadian counterpart. BUT, there is one thing I have to say despite my Love of the United States and it;s people. IMO, EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO TOOK PART IN ANY OF THESE... should be immediately be DEPORTED from the United States to Syria, Iran, Iraq, Gaza, Afghanistan, Somalia, China, North Korea, or anywhere like that take your "frikking" pick. How ANYONE, can live and work in the United States and then spend months of their time complaining about how bad they have it, NEEDS to be deported, it will only BETTER your country. I think the people doing this are incapable and LAZY COWARDS with a nice idea in theory and NO IDEA whatsoever how to make it a reality without using it as a cheap excuse to get out of their responsibilities in life. I think their free loaders looking for a handout. I say give em one, a FREE Ticket Out Of Town with instructions and directions and a warning to NEVER come back.

sometime simple is better cool stuff

I made a member avatar out of it to show my aproval - will remove if you object.

For me, the one that got me interested was the adaptation of "Aliens - Nightmare Asylum" just loved the art work, it really drew me back into the world created by Scot and Cameron.

be hard to make it thru with no bathroom break.

LMAO. sometimes I put on Alien3 and try to see if I can fall asleep before the "Knewt" autopsy scene and her being so "carefully" disected, at Ripleys insistence, by Clemens. If I put on resurrection the game is to see If I can fall asleep before "Johner" launches his pocket knife into "Vriess's" leg while he's busy working with an AutoBot "Call" Wynona" LMFAO.

Where is the trailer already?, It's almost the same year this film will be released. Did they forget to give Giger credit again?, That must be it. LOL.

was Ethic ... sorry for the misplaced position of the H ... Im too for a well grounded movie of scare and horror and i will leave the spiritual part to the new Bladerunner . But the background history of the Rapace Character can lead to other paths ...

very exciting, and I hope to g-d he takes his sweet ass time doing/making it. Absolutely LOVE the directors cut of the first, now extremely high rated and classic film.

The first I heard of this was a comment, idol gossip mostly, that it was going to be a remake of the original movie, to say I was opposed to such a remake was putting it lightly. Not I read on a few sites and reports that is going to be a new movie, non of the original cast members / characters will feature in it, that's good news anyways. As for any ideas or speculation from my end, I would like to see some modified version of the books that proved to be exceptionally worthy follow ups to the film and the Philip K Dick novel. As long as Scot is a the helm, has no interference from studio, as was the case with the first, we should get a movie as visually stunning and deep as the first.

Nice, I never got the hang of doing good image work, what software did you use?

"ya- rrright!?"

the never ending struggle between hetic and science and of course religion ... i think we will see it again in prometheus ...all the three elements :)

Keep in mind that Ridley has to come up with a story that a mass audience, and diverse audience can easily understand and follow, not just for the hardcore fans of the franchise, if people don't understand story they won't buy tickets, which then equals no sequel, I just think to expect a watered down version of things that will be easy for casual movie goer to follow

Interesting idea, but flawed. The genesis of the prometheus title i believe is much more generalized and directed at the philosophy behind the story itself. Your going first visually in your concept to Jacob Jardean's interpretation of Zeus's punishment for Prometheus, but think more abstractly. What did Prometheus do? He brought fire to man, he was always a champion of man, most of the gods found this to be particularly distressing in the myths. In Scott's new film I believe Prometheus to represent the advance of science. This concept can be supported by the antagonists of the original Alien: The Ship, The Robot, and the Alien itself (A biological weapon) Whereas the machines have been the go to golum of american science fiction cinema for the last 50 years it is now scientific progress that will take the front seat. The synopsis, as we know it so far is this...man discovers space jockey artifact on earth, man travels to space jockey world, man STEALS tech from the Jockeys and battle ensues, thus it is man's science, his curiosity and ultimately his inner golum and fatal flaw that represents the ideal of prometheus for us in this film. -Keep it up posters I love this S--T!

I have a suspicion the new crew consume the [b]milk of the gods[/b][i][/i] (probably spiked by Fassbender and Theron's droid/replicant characters) and morph into "jockeys" . Milk is also reference to the drink of Von Daniken's alien gods who inspired Ridley... If you look at the stills from Comic Con, there's a lot of focus on scans of abdomens, and a pic of a female crew member staggering out of a mess hall on hind legs :s...well, this is how things look to me :) I wonder if we'll see the xenomorph born from the jockey we know - it must be enormous, and how did the Nostromo crew avoid it unless it died in some final conflict with the Prometheus crew?

Jeees, am I bad!............... I promise to be a better behaved kitty from now on!

I totally have to have either Alien or Aliens on to go to sleep at night...sometimes Planet Earth, Sigourney's voice lulls me better than a benzo.

This hypothesis can be discarded by Ridley's commentary in the bonus content of the Alien anthology collection. He talks about the derelict and the Spacejockey, but interestingly, he says the ship was meant to be a bomber (probably with destination to Earth or a human colony). Personally though, I actually like the idea of self regeneration and punishment with the impregnation of several alien organisms. Although think about it twice, if that was the case, how would that help to develop an actual story for Prometheus, and how would the humans play out in this setting?

the bomber ship fit well with the presumed "ending" of prometheus ... in the other case ( the space jockey tied to the chair as prometheus ) the humans got the benefits and now will acts as "avengers" of that one "good" jockey against the "evil" jockeys

RULE # 1 - Always Keep the surround sound "ON"! RULE # 2 - Always keep the Quadrilogy DVD BOX Facing your seat/couch/sofa in your living room so you are reminded to drift off to sleep with one of the four films playing in the background each night softly after a hard day at the office. LMAO & True in my case.

I looked at the fox movie releases Dec on - not many choices to attach to. I'm going with Superbowl spot. But TDKR And the Avengers already have websites and trailers - you would think 20 century fox would get something going. Average person probably doesn't even know about this flick

Just think how much we hate you .... is easier :p

Now, now!................ I'm just building up the tension!

be ready to build for 3 months ...

man, not cool.

I've updated the title to not confuse anymore people. We need to keep up the integrity of these forums, so please refrain from posting false news. Thank you.

An interesting idea of a potential scenario for the crew of the PROMETHEUS-inspired by Rhunter Upon hearing that the ship’s fuel pumps have been damaged, Janek and Ravel are recalled back to the ship, leaving Vickers, Shaw, Holloway, Theo, Milburn, and David to explore further into the halls of the Great Chamber. Discovering a small opening near the rear, Holloway and Theo examine closely, and discover that it appears to be a living tunnel-a mucous-like passage with skeletal walls. Vickers urges them to venture in, but Holloway interrupts, stating it would be better to wait for the repairs to be made before venturing further. Vickers overrules him (much to Shaw’s protest), leaving Milburn and Theo to explore the tunnel. They both attach themselves to lines connected to a support beam in the Great Chamber, careful not to disturb the many bioseed urns lying about. They begin to slowly make their way through, with Theo making remarks about the “queasiness” of the tunnel. The others begin monitoring their progress through live monitors via cameras attached to their helmets. Vickers watches with anticipation, but Shaw and David converse privately, fearing that the corporate rep is unconcerned for their safety. Entering a large maze, Theo makes his way to the left at a fork in the tunnels (with Milburn staying behind to maintain contact)-despite Vickers and Shaw’s disapproval. Making his way further down, into a dark, more solid-enclosed passage, Theo enters a somewhat larger gothic chamber over a deep chasm, with sarcophagus-like cocoons spaced around the walls of the other side. He crosses a large stone bridge slowly, encountering a screeching tone in his ears when he arrives at the other side. Meanwhile, Milburn tries to remain calm, but panics when his scanner picks up movement nearby-alerting Theo to return. Unfortunately, he is too late; Theo approaches one of the “cocoons”, and when seemingly moving his hand over a clear panel, springs back when it begins to open. Unknowingly, Theo has awoken one of the dormant Engineers. Theo tries to rush back, and makes his way to Milburn’s cable-minus Milburn . The latter, it turns out, has gotten lost in the tunnels looking for Theo, and in a fit of panic within the tunnels- comes around a corner face to face with [i]a fully living Engineer[/i]. The creature stares at him curiously for a moment, then grabs him viciously, dragging him away amidst screams of terror. Shaw, David and Holloway manage to get a glimpse of a large shadow on the monitor-just before Theo’s comm. link cuts abruptly.
