I hear the studio is running around with a Giant Scissors cutting all the Genetalia off the Aliens again!

in that case i approve the giant scissors ...

LMAO

Think being a good screen writer and a good director they would want to find quite a few issues that the audience could more or less relate to without having to have lived in the future.. I mean seeing stuff get blown up and space ships and aliens is fine for kids but I want more story.

I think Repace will be in the film to the bitter end so can't see her being the carrier. It's got to be Therone as the first. I think Repace will be the one that believed in good in the space jockeys and then changes when they become all malevolent..............

Racepace could still be in it to the end and be a carrier of something at the same time. I had the idea earlier that maybe she is carrying the mother of all facehuggers. Maybe we never see it get born on film but. maybe it is a foreshadow to alien and we see a shady x-ray image of what looks like it during a medical scan.

Seems from what I have read that she's right there till near or at the end of the film.

She states in an interview she is a survivor

Maybe being a survivor is good for her but bad for everyone else? What if she lets this thing develop in her out of a strong survival instinct and faith in God to the detriment of the human race? Also many a strong survivor eventually run out of 9 lives and pay the reaper. Like a mountain climbers with too much hubris. I know I am casting a disparaging light on the Shaw character while the consensus here is that she will be a heroine but remember Alien doesn't exactly start all Rosy. Obviously the alien eggs remain intact, a space jockey dies and the company remains as evil as ever. On top of that I don't see why they would basically rehash the Ripley character to boot. I hope their is more to her than meets the eye right now.

that's very very wisely thought out and I wouldn't be surprised if you nailed it.

well another thing that hate in the movies is a open finale ...they save themselves BUT in the bag there is an alien !!

I agree Frantz that is why I kind of hope everyone gets wiped out. Ripley will then remain the strongest willed person and the only one who can out live this horror. I think that was the intention.

well we can assume that the most probable finale is that everyone die BUT the jockeys and the aliens are destroyed ..except a crashed vessel of course ....however i still hope in something more happy ^^

Oh and my idea about Repace not being able to have children will be why the Space Jockeys do not have designs on her, as I think they may be doing tests on fertile beings as they are having problems with reproduction as they have been alive for millions of years and they need fresh DNA to make their's stronger. And why they may chose Therone; and lets face it who wouldn't lol. But Repace is still a fitty :)

Nice ideas BUTI think you give too much weight to that Weyland Yutani thing ...i think that like in Alien the "company " is used for a smart plot twist or merely as a link to alien ... i dont think Scott will use that subplot that is mainly interest for geeks .

I see your point. I don't think the Weyland - Yutani thing will play a big part. But I think there is some definate deception involved (probably company driven) which results in the engineers / space jockeys releasing some sort of damage protection, i.e. xeno's. Or it could be that the space jockeys are long dead and we just learn more about their culture from the planet expolration ..........................

Mebbbe the company logo "W" we see on the vehicles and on Janek's shirt is the futuristic representation of the logo of Walmart!!

That makes sense, I've seen my fair share of mindless androids in Walmart.

As mentioned earlier and as is traditionally said I do not mean to be rude, and with all due respect to you guys, but we have established that for the purposes of the Alien Franchise there were NOT 2 seperate companies, everyone just assumed this, the name he created, as Ron Cobb so elequently explained, was a cross between the Giant European auto maker "British-Lelaynd" and a neighbor of his whose name was one letter different than "Yutani".

I have to agree with Spartacus. I have looked all over for any mention of a merger between Weyland & Yutani and I just can't find one. I just assumed it had always been one company.

A merger is mentioned by Scott here :[url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1637638/exclusive-ridley-scott-reveals-alien-prequel-details.jhtml]MTV Interview[/url]

The important paragraph, "Scott: It's Weyland. Weyland hasn't joined Yutani yet, so they go and see Weyland. [The film] is about the discussion of terraforming — taking planets and planetoids and balls of earth and trying to terraform, seed them with the possibilities of future life. "

He was surprisingly revealing in that interview. How much of what he said actually made it on film is anyone's guess.

another noticeable thing in there is the subtle hints {or so I felt} to perhaps reviving this machine and perhaps even the possibility of a Sequel/Follow Up to Prometheus.

I am inclined to believe he probably won't do any sequels but more prequels. If Prometheus leads up to the events in Alien then the next prequel will lead up to the events in Prometheus and so on. Maybe in this film Weyland and Yutani are already merged as the logos being seen suggest and in the next movie we will see how they merge and why.

I like your inclination, That would be so cool. I want these two guys Giger and Scott to do Prometheus Franchise movies into their 150's...and invite all those guys from the documentary in the "Memories of Aliens" section of this web site called "Alien Makers". I think these guys are a cut above everyone else when it comes to figuring out how to do things no one else can do in films....even more than say Lucas, Spielberg, Coppola, Tarantino, and maybe everyone else out there save for the late Stanley Kubrick !

Any reference to any of the films that came after Alien And please no Queen Ants!

Dwarf Tossing! Great Post by the way!

what i fear the most is a bad script ..for all the rest ive faith in the class of ridley scott . oh yes well i fear a bad ending ...i can accept half bad endings ( like the mist ) but total bad endings make me feel a masochist ...

Time travel and the rumoured Ripley flashback Any over-obvious CGI effects

Off the top of my head: 1. Friendly space jockeys. 2. Sappy love story. 3. Shia LaBeouf somehow makes a surprise cameo. EDIT: Oops I didn't expect yall to post so fast.

seriously though, With Giger and Scott Having so much more creative control this time around, I say this with all due respect to all of you cause you people all know more than the average movie goer but... I really do not think most people truly understand just what these two guys have just done for FILM or the extent of just how absolutely Mind Numbingly Incredible what we are all about to see is !!! This movie is FLAT OUT going to be the best damn sci-fi flick perhaps EVER MADE and maybe, at that, one of Hollywood's all time most successful films when all is said and done!!! With these two guys having been flagged for it from the start what we have here is a Film that Cannot Fail...it just can't !!! I think These two men have just done some things that are going to BLOW ALL OF OUR MINDS AND WE ARE ALL GOING TO HAVE A NEW APPRECIATION FOR THIS ART FORM !!!

Ditto, I did too Biomechanic. But this, in a way IMO only, is different, because of the nature of the minds of the 2 men in question here and the people they surround themselves with when they do this kind of thing.

"Shia LaBeouf cameo" Yep...that would ruin this film for me right there !!! LMFAO !!! Good one !!!

Three words that ruin any movie. HA!

Shia LaBeouf Cameo.

Megan Fox as the Xeno....

"YOU COMPLETE ME" WAS PRETTY GOOD TOO THOUGH! lol!

Brilliant.
