any plot "leak" was a fake until now ( the only leaked plot that have a bit of credibility is the first one , that was posted directly in the IMBD synopsis page ) .... the perverse things , as Ridley said , as surely about genetic play , perversion dont mean anything sexual ... that is a sexual perversion in fact . I think the SJs do perverse genetic play withou any kind of morals and without being GODS ( they just play with what exist already ) ...if there is a subtle reference to something kinky is just to make an evil grin on our faces ...dont expect anything explicit or trash .

[b]Nostalgica...[/b], I´d like to have the jockey run a bar in the reception area of a seventies style convention hall. H.R. Giger, even if you never read this, mind we´ve all (@ least me) a crush on the seventies (affluence)... So maybe you can change the script and equip the jockey w. some of those large porno-glasses and, not at least, embellish some scenes wit `easy listening´.

Now I want to see the space jockey in all sorts of scenarios. On the cover of cigar aficionado. In an I'm a mac, he's a PC and that's a Space Jockey commercial. The Space Jockey E true hollywood story. Dateline NBC's To Catch a Space Jockey. On the cover of Maxim. As a pundit on Fox news. As an advocate against child hood obesity.

Hey guys, I just found [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xY22ZePwcvI]this[/url] at youtube. There are several of the shots we are already familiar with and there are several others that I know I haven't seen. 0:36 There seems to be green goo coming out of a canister 1:20 There seems to be an arm or something sticking out from the right and at 2:10 and at there seems to be a weird looking hand (might be gloved) touching something that looks jockiesh. Anyone else seen these before? Rick

Biomechanic, one of those helmets even farts, listen! Yeh, quite goofy but spooky the way they seem to 'chat' in those wierd voice soundbites. I like your idea of a human brain replacing a ship's computer, very bizarre. I have a thing about living disembodied heads being a symbol of true horror .

Space Jockey´s charging is to breed sth., Since it seems to be grown out of it´s chair it´s rather likely that it (they) grow(s) gray matter or some other sort of mysterios (and biohazardous) fluids which subsequently need to be filled up and boxed in anthracite cannisters/ urnes. it gives the impression as if a jockey is in fact a stupid assembley line worker. We can just hope it not turns out to be molten styrofoam. ; )

Hey Bio long time no chat bud. I would agree about the biological part but AI is prevalent through out the genre; ie the synthetics. There could be some precursor AI in the helmet letting mother know that the Nostromo has reached the beacon and a little communication exchange took place. I don't know though just an opinion. Rick

Hi Rick, I don't think biological or biomechanical brains and electronic synthetic AI have to be mutually exclusive. Maybe MUTHUR can be thought of as a highly advanced BIOS for the ship tasked mainly with explaining the ships needs to the crew, mission control and sensor input interpretations, a very analytical system with a rudimentary AI featuring the ability to speak fluently the low level machine language of the ship. The biological brain system may be there to interpret or command the bios from a much higher abstraction level (A different type of awareness). Perhaps two different technologies each with it's own advantages were interfaced together. Of course these brain computers would be considered a technological abomination of nature by humans so the use must be kept secret. You'll have to forgive me but I like the idea that Weylan Yuntani is run by androids, and that they think of humans as chattel and only useful as a tools. Fits in with Ash seemed to be condescending toward the crew.

LOL That reminds me too much of Skyline. If you haven't seen it I would go buy the DVD or Blue Ray

I am predicting that it will be Trent Reznor and I think that Scott will use Reznor on Blade Runner as well. He used Tangerine Dream on Blade Runner and Reznor would be perfect for both these films.

Those look great [b]Biomechanic[/b]! Thanks for posting those up!

I have decided to wait for the "Alien Quintology" Box Set to come out before I answer this. LOL.

All I can say is this reminds of that time in the 90's when pepsi decided to make pepsi clear, it's like "why?" Because it really was not that good. I really think that the original was so bizzare and xreepy that it was so fitting to when you saw direlect craft and espicially when you saw the space jockey. Thank god that it is nothing like how george lucus ruined episode 4-6 with all the new cgi crap notable the han and greedo confrontation. Everytime I watch it I almost feel like I flunke a test that studied hard for.

Going to be like a Alice in Wonderland expect it's going to be a scary ride down the hole and it ain't no rabbit hole.

I'm thinking it's going to be like [i]Alice Gets Raped in Wonderland[/i]. Or some kind of [url=http://www.cracked.com/article_18932_alien-film-franchise-based-entirely-rape.html]subtext of rape or Freudian sexual trauma of some kind[/url].

Yeah, I kinda get that feeling too with what Scott said. I mean, He did it in Alien with subtle subliminal scenes but I think in this one, he is not holding anything back from us and going to give it to us...

i think you can forget extreme or perverse things with Ridley Scott , its not a torture porn maker , hes a genius of a director and always with alot of taste ...also hes 74 so surely more interested in something else , more deep ... the flame inside us , faith , science , human beings ..not aliens raping crewmen .

I think Ridley is going to try to top the perverse nature of the first film. Age and ability as a director has nothing to do with it. He is to tell an interesting story and more than likely the story is going to be dark, disturbing, shocking and full of sexual perversions, Giger is obviously both a genius and getting up their in age and draws heavily on sexuality for his art. Giger's alien in it's very nature is perverse. Don't look for Ridley to shy away from that. If anything I think his age and reputation will allow him to get away with more.

I'm not expecting torture porn either, but rather some kind of subtext. I'm having a hard time imagining what is meant by "[url=http://www.alienprequelnews.com/2011/04/creatures-in-prometheus-will-do-very.html]do very perverse things[/url]"

there is centipiede 2 or Saw for disturbed kids ..you are talking of Sir Ridley Scott ...name me a sexual perverse scene in 30 years of career and i will agree ....i think is the director with less nudes on screen ... and more , apart the jokes on the naked push ups , neither charlize theron , guy pearce , ben foster , idris elba , michael fassbender are actors for depraved movies

Underlying tones...things that we don't think about when you watch the film but when you get home your like, "did that just happen?". I don't think porn style but rather under tones in the film with the creatures and their designs and perhaps how some of the crew are killed or inhabited. and turned into something. Scott is now a veteran in film making and with Giger finally getting what he wants, we are def. going to see some new things that Scott prob wanted in the first Alien but never did.

I must admit I am not a Ridley Scott film historian but the Dr. Hannibal Lector character was very sexually perverse as was a lot of other characters in that movie. Scott didn't choose to not direct Hannibal because the characters were psychologically damaged and perverts so why would he now?

He always had some things that we re underlying tones. I guess he's older and more bold and maybe he wants to tick off the FOX CEO who pushed the film to a PG13 rating, lol.

..I dont this we will see anything porn wise but the creatures as designed by Giger have sexual designs within them..thats what we will see alot of and how the crew are changed perhaps...but it will be undertones of sexual like the scene in Alien when it killed Veronica Cartwright...but you don't think about it when you see it..it usually munsters in your head for days and weeks and then it hits you at three in the morning when you are sleeping..lol.

Funny that reminded me of when I first heard that an alien prequel was being made and then I heard it was definitely not an alien prequel. I assumed that some movie executive looked at the script and said " This doesn't go along with our AVP franchise at all, we can't do this. We will have someone rewrite it to fit." So Scott just said no it's not an Alien prequel don't worry about it and told a story of how anything alien related would be removed. Then went straight out with the money and did it his way an alien prequel. When he sees the executive he says oh well I spent the money and the film is made you can show and make a fortune or shelve it and look like a fool. This probably didn't happen but I would like to think that was what all the prequel not a prequel foolishness was about.

I know..lol. Yeah, I have this feeling that Scott and the others are blowing smoke up our bottoms to make us think one thing and we get we want after all. Hence being all secretive and always changing the plot and never really setting anything in concrete...

I have been pondering the score to this film and I have this feeling that Trent Reznor is going to be involved...just a feeling but his dark tones and what not fit the premise of this film and I can see Scott chatting with him about the movie...

Is it strange that the composer has not been announced yet? I would have thought we would be hearing this by now since it is in post production. I mean it doesn't seem like it would be a secret who the person is just so the music doesn't get leaked before it's heard on screen. Reznor would be at the top of my list too but even big time directors have to deal with someone saying "No, can't do it, I have other commitments." We can be hopeful though.

Yeah, by now we would of heard of who is composing the score for this film but I am hoping that it will be someone we can appreciate and a score that is worth buying. I guess the post production will be going on for sometime, at least until the winter months. Being the Scott used alot of big sets and actual props, not alot of cgi expect for space and the creatures....we should see a trailer by the end of this month from my friends have said in New York.

Thanks you two! We were debating on using a black/grey gradient background instead of the comic con screen cap - to go with the "official" poster that was shown months ago, but we ended up going with the comic con. It's just a REAL piece of Prometheus, so we figured it would be best. Glad you like the update. ;)

Your welcome Ghostface. Btw, I've always wondered about the streaks and graininess of that picture - is some sort of dust storm going on? If so, the particles look like deadly shards of some material whipped up by ferocious winds. Curiously, it also looks like some kind of watermark overlaying the actual photo. What do you think?

Who knows, it does look very interesting though. I compare it slightly to LV 426, with the way the dust is blowing around and the harsh winds, etc... But we also have our own gradient which lays overtop of the banner image for the site to add extra effect, but yes i know what you mean. This image is great because it doesn't explain very much, yet generates many questoins.

I love it! Or in the fine words of larry david: prettay, prettay, prettay good! I think that banner would make a great t shirt. Hint hint Ghost Face!

We've already spoke with Fox about merchandising clothing and ball caps, etc... but if we were to use the "PROMETHEUS" logo, it would not be allowed. We're still working on it though. When it comes time for Prometheus' release, we will have more than enough cool stuff to give away, don't worry. All in time. But thank you again for the feedback!

Sweet! Should make a Prometheus Tee Shirt or Hooodies, with the Prometheus logo on front and on back "Building Better Worlds"...I would def buy that.

You know, the quality of the mindsets and speculation on here is superb and VERY thought provoking compared with places like IMDB. These latest posts are rife with intelligent, well thought out speculation and some of you here should be bloody script-writers, I tell you! Each week I visit Prometheus-related sites and I'm getting more and more drawn in buy some of the fascinating theories being put forward. Especially the ones about the cannisters. My only worry is that if this film has at least some of the theories stated here and is 'multi-layered' as some have suggested, then this will be a thinking person's sci-fi film and it has to have a suitable rating, otherwise we're going to get yawning, bored teens who've only come to see schlock and space-vampires and realsing this is not forthcoming may then resort to texting and throwing popcorn about. I hope to God my experience of this film will not be shattered by shallow morons who have no concept of a true cinematic experience like in the days of old.
