I know to take this with a grain of salt but in some ways...I know Theron will die because of her actions. I can see her as the CEO...young and upcoming powerful woman who takes this journey with them to make sure Weyland gets what they want....thus, she is the catalyst of the impending doom to come...of course, she too is expendable as well...someone else will just replace her upon the mantle.

Is not a scoop and i cant be sure ( and to me the logo is still W+Y )..is from a well written article of december 2010 that i did found today ... that nail basically everything ...and it say 2 important things .. one is that is Weyland without Yutani and the second is that originally ( and maybe still now ) were planned 2 movies ...one that was set 30 years before alien ( and that proven true ) and one closer ..who knows ^^ ....

Good find, looks like something has really peaked his interest

Lol when I was in High School for my Junior Thiese (not sure I spelled that right lol) I wrote a 22 page paper on The Alien Universe including their life cycle, interactions with other spieces, social structure, characters of note and even weapons used in the Universe and what they did and how they were most effective......needless to say I was the dork in the corner reading a book through HS lol but I got a A on the paper and a note from the teacher saying I need to get out more lol.

I have been reading this thread and found it interesting no one mentions the books.... In the books namely the trilogy that was supposed to be the continuation of Hicks and Newts story until they killed them (still not happy about that btw) but changed to be the story of Wilks and Billie. In this series we do go to what is defined as the Alien home world and you do see that they aren't the only predators on it. You also learn that there is also a Queen Mother that is in charge. The next time they go to the Alien home world is in Aliens Genocide. I also would like to note about the Space Jockey is in the 2nd book of the before mentioned trilogy. I won't spoil what you learn about them but the one you "meet" did know the Space Jockey from the movie Alien. I also think that if you are looking for canon for AVP stick with the books and comics they were out way before the movies. In AVP comics they address Pred-Aliens and they also refer to him as a "King" I also seem to remember them saying when the first AVP came out it would be separate from Alien but incorp a lot of the same canon so as not to upset the fans. I also hold to this because if it is canon that means the first and second Predator movies are incorrect do to the Predators that hunted us "Oman" or soft meat have to be blooded., and neither of them had marks on their forehead. As to the mention of the deleted scene from Alien. I read that they were not being transformed or anything like that they were being cacconed. This also meets in standards as far as canon if you follow the books. It states in the books that a drone can become a queen after time if no queen is present. I understand that my opinions here are very much in conflict with some of y'alls and understand I mean no disrespect but I look at this through the eyes of someone who has read every Alien and AvP book and even has a tattoo of each on my calves. I would love to hear your thoughts on what I posted.

Hey, if you ever need more help. I'll be here as well.

Nope..ok im gonna end this gimmie two points and i will explain my thinking...on the link..

Standings Update For Marty & Company !!! ------------------------------------ Thadus12=21.5 Spartacus=15 Tec-B=13 Engineer Prototype - Model GAJ84 = 10 Snorklebottom=10.5 Marty=3 Theusprom-3 Neurion=3 Tattooedkoi= 3 Biomechanic=2 Jamieboy=1 SpaceJock=1 Rick=1 Caine1977=1 Thad=.5

ok so...to move this along....both Aliens and Batman (1989) used Acton Power station as sets.....on an aside speaking of Batman..the first 6 minutes are leaked online...looks awsome i must say better than TDK intro

Any reference to the AVP films will fuck me off big time.

Besides the fear that a lower ratings bracket could compromise the integrity of the movie, I just hope Scott doesn't go overboard on the whole sexuality thing (e.g. humans romancing with the creatures, etc).

I forgot to mention that. The PG-13 rating is probably my biggest fear :/

@ brego> You´re right; PUGUGLY It´s equipped with only two snorkles to fart. Furthermore this Alien would be inapprpriate in its dimensions to survive in an environment designed by and for humans- what if it comes to damage an airlock. Oh, I just forgot it wouldn´t by instinct.. Furthermore, it looks like it is equipped with even a pair of spines... one crossing right through the centre of torso and the other one obviously ontop of corselet... what the heck; when I see it, I´m apt to seduce it or I´d try to detach that corselet with some laser beams. Otherwise I´d try to pitch it under a sarrasin, just as in that StarWars (C) Movie. P.S.: Rancor Beasts would win every beaty contest with that; at least them have eyes.

@Marty - have you been lucky enough to see this 'leaked trailer' we've been hearing about then? (which I assume is where the pics I posted the link to came from)

i think everyone here have watched the leaked trailer ...the problem is that the quality was very poor

@Herk Mondo Dude I have watched it god knows how many times....F@@k studying right!!!! Yup love but again as I was saying its hard to tell if it is the Derelict or not...but it does look like it..have you not seen the trailer?

I've not seen the trailer. I was holding off trying to see it. But the suspense is killing me. Dam it! Where can I still find it?!

No i couldnt do that....!! Yes its shit quality...but what you can see...and the music and obvious soundtrack nod to the original Alien trailer.....just makes this one of the best..even in Crap - o - vision http://www.superrobotmayhem.com/comic-book-movies/prometheus/prometheus-trailer-bootleg/

I noticed that within the low quality trailer and within the pictures. Thats a good theory Herk.

Finally saw the trailer rip. At 23 seconds that certainly looks like an awfully large hand reaching out to grasp the helmet of one of the explorers, a space jockey perhaps? 37 seconds in you see the Pilots lounge rising up from the floor of a biomechanical structure, the derelict ship possibly. "You have to understand.....I was wrong....we were so wrong............I'm so sorry...." Rapace said she began as an optimist who loses her faith during the course of the journey. Finding out that Eden was a lab onboard an alien spacecraft might just shake one's faith. The film looks amazing even in tiny little fuzzy recordings of the rough unedited trailer. WOW!

For those who have not yet seen the rip....they get taken down very quickly here is where I found it. http://www.superrobotmayhem.com/comic-book-movies/prometheus/prometheus-trailer-bootleg/

[quote] What do you think Ridley Scott will include in his new film Prometheus that relates back to the first film in any way or at least somewhat ties in with the first film "Alien"?[/quote] Undoubtedly the Space Jockey. I think we're going to find out what that fossilised being from Alien was all about and how it ended up where we last saw it in Alien. I think Scott's early comments about this being the story of 'engineers of space' is basically what this is going to be about. Obviously the Space Jockey/s are the engineers. I think it's going to be about what went wrong when Humans got involved! I think it's also possible we will see somehow that the Alien/Xenomorph was created as a result of Human intervention. I don't think that we're going to see the Alien as a product of the Space Jockey directly. Not without Humans getting involved and throwing a spanner in the works somewhat. Hence 'they went looking for Earth's beginnings, what they found could be it's end'. The theme of the Alien films has generally been about Humans/corporations trying to exploit things that they don't understand and can't control. I think that theme will be continued in Prometheus.

what we have saw until now are a bit more than DNA strands ..of course we dont know if the plot will link in some ways to Alien ( derelict shop , xenos , the company etc ) even if Scott hinted that in the last 8 minutes the story will have some pretty solid Alien DNA . We can assume that the story is a prequel but with not many evident ties and that in the last 8 minutes the movie will give a "base" for Alien to happen ( ship crashing on the lv426 for example )

Well from what we've seen in leaked pics and of course,the leaked trailer,we can assume we will see very familiar elements featured in Alien(1979) The Space Jockeys-dead and alive The Boneship/derelict before its crash The 'company' element its been hinted that the Xenomporph we know and love/fear will be there too I believe its more of a Prequel than their letting on I was thinking also (dangerous I know,lol) that on the leaked trailer it begins with someone talking- WE WERE WRONG,IM SO SORRY ETC. Im starting to think this is the original transmission the Nostromo picks up? Which would also hint at the Space jockey been a possible human mutation,which there has been a lot of speculation about? Just my thoughts,what do YOU think?

"the leaked trailer it begins with someone talking- WE WERE WRONG,IM SO SORRY ETC. Im starting to think this is the original transmission the Nostromo picks up?" Intriguing.

I guess they can retro fit it to that yeah..But wasnt the code that Mother "Intercepted" (Of course we know she intercepted f@@k all they were always headed to LV-426) just binary..01010111010101..? I know we never heard anything in Alien not even when Ripley checked it out so yeah this could be what she heard..

And on this DNA thing....no matter what they say this is a prequel.. be it 2 hours of one or just the last 8 minutes. Ridley even says as such ..Origin of the Spacejockey in the liner notes to the blu-ray. Look at the way the trailer was presented...the noise in the soundtrack to hark back to the classic original trailer.

Its like if you notice at the start of the PROMETHEUS trailer as the camera is panning downwards towards the planet its falling and turning to the left. Almost makes you want to tilt your head then follow it back up to its "natural" view..looking straight. In Alien the same thing happens as the Nostromo decends onto LV- 426...on the computer screen its doing the same action Then the noise in both the 1979 and this trailer....The image of what looks like the Derelict landing/falling, and the Spacejockey rising through the floor all visual links to Alien ....we recognise them and associate it all with this... Same thing was done on AVP-R. One of the leads was called "Dallas" and if you listen to the sound the missile makes as its approaching Gunnison to get rid of the infestation the sound on the computer is the same sound as the device used to track the Alien on the Nostromo, noticeably when The Alien is making its way towards Dallas in the air shaft. Although in this film these "Links" were used to try and make that film better by associating it with the film we know and love.. We hear them and somehow link it to Alien....

Of course you have the typegraph of the name PROMETHEUS....and how it appears!

I think the end of this will setup the basis for Alien, however I'm curious to know how else they'll end the movie that leaves room for a sequel? I remember seeing Ridley suggesting there may be one. Will they continue the same plot from Prometheus or will it be an entirely new story that excludes xenos?

usually ridley have never done sequels to his movies ...hard that start now at 74 ...and with the bladerunner sequel that will take almost the next 2-3 years . i dont say that he will be too old ( i think one can film until 90 right now ) but is a matter of willing , strenght and other projects .

I think there are going to be prequels to Prometheus not sequels. I think Prometheus just might leave us with more questions than answers. The next movies if any would probably keep going back in time explaining the previous one.

Is this for real ?

I think its real ...surely its not something that catch your eyes :D ...but maybe is just one of the many . It seems also that they love that head ...

Cant quite make out the writing,it looks like.... THE SEARCH FOR OUR BEGINNING COULD LEAD TO OUR END? Yeah this is confirmed on the leaked pic,Doh!

I like it :). Dark and simple.

Now that is for real. First one that I have seen the looks professional besides the all black one.

As the Joker said..."Here we go..." let the marketing begin. Also the composer is Marc Streitenfield, who has worked with Scott many many times...I am betting that we will see the trailer the 21st, released with the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo...the trailer will compliment the Fincher film and the audience....pretty sweet!
