Alien everything else is a mere copy. its all the science fiction anyone could need.

Well they were very strict on the subject of the original, the director for this one said he is not going and does not want to use CGI, he was to use real live animation everywhere possible apart from one scene with the spaceshipunder the ice, i am sure I can live with that. Does look god though.

if thats the case then its good news. It needs to be shocking and tense, I just hope that they bring something else to the table and not just a retread of the original with different people.

The paramount question that has to be answered to make the entire Alien series plausable is. How did the company know of the existance of the Alien? If that question is not answered, then everything falls apart. Personally I don't really care about the space jockey, or why the aliens were created and for what purpose. How did the company know is what needs to be answered.

And thats why he crash landed... No need for Prometheus, we figured it out already!

Cant wait for the Thing, that was one of the best movies ever, soooooo ahead of its time.

The Thing is one of my fave's. Troubled to see what they do with the film as it could look too polished and fail miserably...

I will for sure watch that Ancient Aliens, sounds good, Thanks guys for not mocking me thought people would, I am just trying to come up with some theories, ok you can argue why bother, it comes out june 2012 so just wait, but I love speculation as I also learn more about the Alien movies and the Space Jockey for example. I just love it.

The Space Jockey was supposed to be almost like a fossil. I can't see how it could have been fossilised that quickly... Don't get me wrong, I'm no scientist and I could be way off but I'm just hitting it out there to see what you other people think...

... Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 and Halloween 3

If you have ever watched the underrated pandorum, then michl Britsch, the composer is awaesome, really creepy music and it would be so effective in the alien movies.

Right i have been thinking, and thinking what the hell this is about but looking at the clues , the most obvious plot is that they investigate this alien DNA, find the crashed ship and go inside, only to find the ship half functioning compared to the original alien where is was dead. Then once inside they encounter the Space Jockey who at first seems really territorial but thinks he could use the human scientists for good and bad reasons for future experiments, as I believe the Space jockeys created the Aliens and were using them for miltary reasons, maybe even heading for earth as who knows maybe the Jockeys created us, maybe they create species to worhip them like gods maybe they even created the predators but to then only regret their choices or just to put an end to a species they just simply go to a planet and drop off these eggs , like a bomber thus cleansing the planet for them to start again. This is strange, as I write this I still cant make sense of it and never will til June the 8th, horrible feeling but exciting. I have so many theories but dont know where to start.

Apollo, have you watched 'Ancient Aliens' on the History Channel? This deals precisely with all these fascinating theories.

Don't forget The Hobbit (Part 1)! that's a prequel to Lord of The Rings.

Hi Prometheans... Judge Dredd should be out that year too..

'The vision is Ridley's. That is his strongest quality.' Astromax, I agree with that but... a very good cinematographer has a massive influence on the quality of the picture in the movie. As an example, another cinematographer Slawomir Idziak, who has worked with Scott on 'Black Hawk Down'. He's been nominated for an Academy Award as well as a BAFTA for 'Best Cinematography' in that movie. I assume that you have seen the movie and you can easily see how well it has been done by Idziak.

I don't think it was a warning in the sense that it meant to warn off innocent passer by's but to reverse psychology on unsuspecting visitors to the pandora's box of mass destruction. Like real Terrorformists

Fuzz bum? I'm really worried now! Noooooooo, grasshopper! Mother did not definitevely say it was a warning as opposed to an SOS! Review you movie. It's a mystery!!!!! Prometheus will not revisit LV426, so the derelict ship will forever remain a mystery, unless some other bloke has the balls to fund a literal prequal to Alien. By making Prometheus, a stand alone film, Ridley is increasing the odds that that will happen. Think about it. Thats a good thing!!!!!

This script would mak a great video game. I mean, can you repair the teraforming device before the shadow 19 copy? Then, the gamer is presented with the ethical dilemma of the destruction of the alien civilation. What do you do?

Yes ! Yes ! Yes ! Yes ! Yes ! Yes ! Yes ! Yes ! Justa as Arnold Palmer will always be titled the king of golf, but but but........then came Jack Nicklaus. You are not wrong, maybe just stuck in time.

I did happen to like District 9. Not crazy for it, but I thought it was pretty likeable. Jurassic Park is what started it all for me... Along with Star Wars (The originals of course.) 12 Monkeys 2001: A Space Odyssey A Clockwork Orange The Abyss Alien Aliens Avatar Blade Runner Brazil Close Encounters of the Third Kind Donnie Darko Inception The Matrix Moon Predator RoboCop Starship Troopers Terminator 1 & 2 The Thing Total Recall Tron & Tron Legacy There are quite a few I haven't heard of/ seen yet, so I'll certainly be on top of that!

There can be only one Conan and Total Recall. I mean Conan the Barbarian (1982) and Total Recall (1990) with Arnie. A real classics. I don't understand why people are making remakes. Also I have never been keen on Spider-Man movies. Maybe because of Tobey Maguire. Sorry, but he cannot play any superhero:)

anyone but John Williams

What about Clint Mansell? He wrote music for A for 'Requiem for a Dream', 'The Fountain' (I recommend that film and OST!) and 'Black Swan'. Others have been mentioned above: John Williams Hans Zimmer Vangelis James Horner

I have a feeling that Hans Zimmer is going to make a score. He worked for Scott before: Black Rain (1989) Thelma & Louise (1991) Gladiator (2000) Hannibal (2001) Black Hawk Down (2001) Matchstick Men (2003) He also wrote music for: Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Inception and The Dark Knight Rises (2012). On the other hand, Marc Streitenfeld, a German film score composer, is also known for his collaborations with Ridley. He made music for Scott's last movies: A Good Year (2006) American Gangster (2007) Body of Lies (2008) Robin Hood (2010)

Ridley composes the shot. These guys operate the 3D cameras. Their film resume is meaningless beyond Ridley's decision to choose them based on it. He does not hire them to create the vision. The vision is Ridley's. That is his strongest quality.

I know I've said this before and I'll say it again. Don't worry about Noomi being up to the task of the lead actress. She is not as articulate as Therone or Weaver but remember, English is not her primary language. Rid knows what he's doing. Noomi says Rid sees every movie and has certainly seen Noomi's "Daisey Diamond". It is a difficult movie to watch. It's a very bleak story of a single mother/struggling actress wannabe with an infant that cries constantly. I'm going to put some clips of Noomi in "DD" on youtube tonight (at least one). Check them out. Noomi is the bomb I promise you.

I like how you added "Prometheus...hopefully..." Neurion, I will do the same. I hope and expect Prometheus to make into my top 5 favourites. But to list off some that I loved growing up and still enjoy here they are: *Prometheus (if all goes according to plan) Alien Aliens Predator Predator2 Predators The Matrix Trilogy Battle Las Angelas Star Wars Terminator series Space Balls *haha Signs The list goes on. A few I did not like were Cloverfield, District 9 and Skyline.

Alien Aliens Alien 3 Avatar Star Wars ep III V & VI Sunshine The Abyss Terminator 1 & 2 Predator 1 & 2 District 9 Transformers 1

Hmmmmm...maybe Hans Zimmer, Klaus Badelt, or what about James Horner (ALIENS). I don't know, maybe they're too conventional. It's probably better if R. Scott chooses or chose somebody less familiar...capable of producing strange or unorthodox tones, as well as beautiful, melodic pieces...like Goldsmith did. What about Graeme Revell? Who can could it be?

Blade Runner's composer Vangelis? Maybe too synthesizerish. In a BR interview Ridley shows great respect for him . Zimmer would be great too. Guess it depends on the style Rid wants, symphonic, contemporary, operatic. I know I'm all over the place. I just don't know. It's hard to believe completion of principle photography is at hand. I know I've said this before and I'll say it again. Don't worry about Noomi being up to the task of the lead actress. She is not as articulate as Therone or Weaver but remember, English is not her primary language. Rid knows what he's doing. Noomi says Rid sees every movie and has certainly seen Noomi's "Daisey Diamond". It is a difficult movie to watch. It's a very bleak story of a single mother/struggling actress wannabe with an infant that cries constantly. I'm going to put some clips of Noomi in "DD" on youtube tonight (at least one). Check them out. Noomi is the bomb I promise you.

i hope that Hans Zimmer or James Horner do a great job.

If you haven't seen any of the "The Girl" movies with Noomi she's a fantastic actress and is incredible in her role as Lisbeth Salander. I think Scott picked a winner with her as a 'Ripley' like character. She can totally deliver and possibly do better than Sigourney Weaver in the demands that a "Ripley" roll would ask for. my .02 -River

"ya- rrright!?"

Noomi said: "This role will be tougher than Lisbeth Salander" "People think Lisbeth Salander was very physical, but there were only a few fighting scenes." "She's [Shaw] definitely her own [character]" "She's a scientist and is very bright. She's a believer. I think there are some similarities [to Ripley], but she's very much her own. I don't think people will compare her so much to Ripley once they see the movie." "I want to transform my body into something like a cat or a lion. One minute they're resting quietly, and then they can suddenly explode into action. I want to feel like whatever happens I'm prepared"
