Makes me wonder how many people will go to watch Prometheus on alien acid for a bout of Neurosis and permanent mystery. Hey if there are no face huggers or eggs in Prometheus, it won't make any difference on mind melting acid. For sure we will not be watching the same movie. I like your new pic! Neurion. Got to have a sheet with multiples of this image. If I get to live to see Prometheus I will definitely be checking behind me.

8@<8@ egg after egg after and it was the egg before the alien. Ah you got me on the sex part, perhaps I should have said something else like: when alien bleeds acid in the forest, the sound is like the sizzling of the square peace of paper ( looks like Neurions Pic)...that I put in my mouth with some Pop Rocks. But really your melting and turning into an egg. And I have probably watched Alien too many times!

Thats cool, great add on! I still can't change my signature, and having 'My Signature' as a signature is really annoying. -_-

Idris Elba has joined the cast. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtIJtvL4uS0 I did frequent Noomi's site, noomi-rapace.com, but while they set it up well with projects and news that was already established, updates are not serviced very well. A few days ago I notified the webmaster that the status of Prometheus wasn't "in pre-production", they were filming for 4 months. Took 3 days for that to be updated, but now they have posted the leaked outline as an official synopsis. Geez talk about being behind the curve.

Got an email response fom the webmaster for Noomi's site thanking me for the headsup. He posted the correct synopsis and gave me a mention. Cool

First, I am really excited that Ridley has returned to the Alien story, but any fan of the series knows that unless this movie is stunning in every aspect, its going to flunk badly, and I really hope that isnt the case. The plus points? Ridley scott, Giger's involvement, a top notch cast, oodles of mystique about the plot and 30 years of creative genius that led to this becoming the first part of a story that sets up Alien. The bad points? Twentieth Century Fox's inability to handle the franchise and allowing travesties like AvP! Apart from that, I think its safe to say that a trip to THE "Alien" homeworld is not on the cards as I sincerely doubt they have a homeworld. The Alien as we know it doesnt seem to be viable as anything other than a weapon. Its life cycle is not particularly stable for anything other than short term infestation, and as we know from Canonical material on the Alien directors cut, the beast from the first movie was dying at the end of the film because of the exertions of creating new eggs (not a spoiler, but if you dont know what Im talking about, go buy the blu-ray and put some money in Ridley's pocket!). I look at the Alien as a weapon, perhaps created by the Space Jockey race (Ridley, please come up with a better name for them!) and used to infest and destroy other civilizations, then dying off and leaving their resources intact. Its a great way to conquer a species and leave their technology behind for someone to come along and borrow it. If thats the basis for the plot of Prometheus, then great! I cant wait to see it, but chances are Ridley is several steps removed from our interpretation of his work, and he has all the answers which may or may not become clear next June. this is going to be the longest 12 months of my life!

http://geektyrant.com/news/2011/7/5/new-photos-from-the-set-of-prometheus.html Don't know how long they will stay up but here are two new pics of the Prometheus set. Ridley I'm sure is not happy. They will come down very soon.

Yeah those were the same ones I found at Alien Prequel News that got a nice call from Fox Legal to remove them

Will they remove them? I thought they appeared within the last 12 hours so.... Wouldn't it be a drag to sit in the premiere of Prometheus and find yourself saying to the fanboy in the next seat; "you see, I have those pics on my deep hard drive". How pathetic! I mean, how seriously patuhetic might you relate too this sh*t?.

They've already gone viral Fox Legal can take a long walk off a short pier at this point. Although I can understand the secrecy behind keeping the set-pics off the net its takes or spoils the movie in the end.

OK yeas yeas and yes!!!!!

I'm really glad I'm not the only one that has crazy dreams about the ALIEN, probably doesn't help that I snuck into the kitchen and hid under the table while my parents watched the original ALIEN, just so I could watch it, I was only 7!

Ruhaniya If you would refrain from these overtly sexual responses about bong experiences to, to I don't know, just stop it! We're trying to concentrate here.

Idris Elba has joined the cast. Check out this interview. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtIJtvL4uS0 Can't find what the other collaboration with Ridley is. He says Prometheus is the second. Janek is his charactor's name, but no surprise thats all we know. I guess Charlize Theron is the most recent addition. I believe her part as Vickers is being expanded to match her stature, as they say.

Well there was nothing to see at Comic-Con last month, but it looks like leaked set photos are the best we will get for now. I accuse the Security Guard with his iphone during guard duty.

It would be AWESOME if there was a panel with the cast! Seems very unlikely, but thats what I keep hoping for :)

Hey Astro, I did already add these up. You can see them in the [url=http://www.prometheus-movie.com/community/forums/topic/38]Production Shots[/url] thread.

Yeah, not as Ridley's Prometheus script for sure. I never considered it that but I enjoyed it on it's own, sort of like a great comic book. I just thought it was a bright spot to pop up in the middle of all the speculation. This whole terraforming thing, destroying civilizations to build a better world. Could be the new si-fi angle for awhile with it's philosophical implications.

Updated first post again with leaked photos on Julky 6, 2011.

I wish there was more out there about Noomi's charactor 'Shaw'. Fassbender, in a very cool interview for MTV, got very excited and got worried about what he could and couldn't say, but Noomi has said nothing except that Shaw, a scientist, is a real believer. I frequent her site, noomi-rapace.com, but it's very slow to update. Today they finally updated the status of the film from pre-production to giving it's release date.

LMAO Astro what the hey. "In Space your Liver's never safe?"(via Noomi's webpage) Didn't they ever tell you the "The Liver is Evil and Must Be Punished !" Hold on gonna run and grab my Rum make sure I punish it with the good stuff.

@Astro, I agree, but I think it's for the best. The more they can keep secret, the better. But it would be nice to know a little about her character, and that of the rest of the crew.

Hey Astro, I read the script the other day. I really hope they changed about 90% of what John wrote I didn't like it. Original Aliens as Mantis type creatures that live in huts? Plus Prometheus being an unmanned terraforming ship with a Matter Copier at the heart. I can't buy it. Rick

These are all great ideas guys! I personally like Astro's post: [i]"The god Prometheus created man and stole fire from the god Zeus. He gave fire to man to make man equal to a god. Zeus severly punished Prometheus Ridley Scott says (paraphrased) ‘The Company's ship, Prometheus, travels light years into deep space as a challange to the gods’. In the movie, do you think the fire stolen by Prometheus will be the Aliens knowledge of teraforming or is that too literal? Was the derelict ship on it's way to punish earth for the events of the Prometheus voyage, and was the company looking for it? .........all priorities recinded! Also, the android in Prometheus will be technology 30 years pre-Ash. Twitchy!"[/i] I agree with this 100%! This has been my hypothesis for this film ever since the title was announced.

If an alien bleeds acid in the forest, does it make a sound? OK Guys & Dolls, ALL Alien movies have been about one thing. Is it gonna get us all before we get it? Right? That is why, I am certain, Ridley said Prom is a stand alone movie etc.....! prom will not be that. I think all of us are on that same page. Prom will be the 2001 of the franchise.

I much as I don't mind blazing off with a kush 2085 space odyssey, I would cross-breed that with some Chronic Galaxy of Terror. Double chambered Snork extravaganga! Medical implementation of much needed pain relief! You know just killing time while time is killing me.

That's certainly quite the ideas you have there Ruhaniya. But yes, it seems many fans liked the "Shadow 19" script. But according to FOX, that "direction" is "way off". Unless they just don't want the story leaking out... But either way, it's a very interresting script and would make a killer movie.

I've been happering away at this for a week, most of those sick days. I'm about ready to give it a rest until I hear something that sparks my interest to re-engage. Here's why. Official Synopsis: "Visionary filmmaker Ridley Scott returns to the genre he helped define, creating an original science fiction epic set in the most dangerous corners of the universe. The film takes a team of scientists and explorers on a thrilling journey that will test their physical and mental limits and strand them on a distant world, where they will discover the answers to our most profound questions and to life's ultimate mystery." I now believe this synopsis completely. The definition of the word strand is (I believe this synopsis was carefully crafted) "to leave in a strange or an unfavorable place especially without funds or means to depart". If we rule out being rescued from a distant star system, whats left? I think it's acceptance of your fate as you contemplate "the answers to our most profound questions and to life's ultimate mystery". I think I'll watch 2001 A Space Odyssey again.

Prometheus an epic space odyssey! I need to snork some right now, the anticipation is killing me. They already got my money and the trailer hasn't come out yet. When it does I would even see a bad movie to see it, Better yet, a 3D movie just to see the 3D trailer.

The aliens have read their minds and is going to ghost em" put shit in their heads so they don't go straight and bodies that will be the ultimately cursed. They'll have anticipated the humans reactions to their new found Masters! An armed military force, supported by human colonies would have to fight off the invasion similar to Star craft but immensely bigger. Like a giant rock concert in the heavens! But maybe those space jockey biomechanical habitats are really like paradise to the Jockeys so. It doesn't really matter cause it's probably an alternate reality Alien flick but then weed be the ones getting ghosted by flying glowing mentos. U F Offs Right BugBlaster!

I think the next transformers movie they make, it should have less humans and more character time with the transformers. It would be great to go to Cybertron, just before the war started. A little time traveling with Optimus involved to make it more interesting and of course in 3D.

Zeus severly punished Prometheus Ridley Scott says (paraphrased) ‘The Company's ship, Prometheus, travels light years into deep space as a challange to the gods’.

Hey Astro good idea. Prometheus was actually a Titan in Greek Mythology, he is also known as Loki in Norse Mythology. To me if you read Loki's description (via wiki) your thoughts go straight to the alien with its ability to incorporate its host DNA with its own and shift its shape (to a degree) to that similar of its host. I think the corporation stole the Alien DNA code not knowing what they really had in our midst. But then again it could be the terraforming code as well because it Aliens Burke mentions the company has been doing a lot of terraforming. Then again it could be some sort of DNA code that allows the Alien and thus some sort of organic apparatus that converts atmosphere into oxygen/nitrogen. Recall that the facehugger kept Kane alive while his helmet was breached to LV-426's atmosphere.

I'll check out Loki Rick. Knowing Ridley sees this as a stand alone film, part of a grand mythology with strands of Alien dna in it, I think stealing a technology is not grand enough. The space jockey race surely knows much more than just terraforming. All the stops will be pulled out, 250mil, and it will be glorious. I cant wait to see Prometheus then go home and watch Alien.

I was just thinking the same thing Astro, ha. I am also looking forward to Prometheus, there is no doubt in my mind that it will be one of the best sci fi films to hit the big screen in a long time. With Ridley Scott back int he director chair, and with a killer cast lined up, you can expect Prometheus will be the "be all, end all" film of the year... and possibly for many years to come.
