The Plot, The Story

So Scott is going to use what Cameron created, which is surprising to me since Scott did not like what Cameron did to the Alien...interesting. You know as humans, we always mess something up... "Hey...Look something cool looking, I am going to take this despite what those big ol aliens thingys said to me." Thus the story begins...

My Educated guess, (Or My Psych analysis on Scotts Plotline Which includes all his other movies and his style of story telling) for “Prometheus” after observing the leaks, discussions and photos. (Enjoy!) 1) Humans discover a temple on earth that marks the pre-existence of the “Mala’Kaks Space jockeys (aliens.wikia.com), on earth and their home world address. They decipher the hieroglyphs and human technology is advanced quickly from agriculture to energy. 2) Years later a super conglomerate (Weyland / Yutani)…” emblem is seen on the vehicle pics”. Creates 2 Interstellar ships , The Magellan and the Prometheus to investigate 3) Each ship is run by 1 android 4) They arrive on the star system and land on the planet. They find an identical temple as on earth which leads them into the inner depths of the planet. 5) There they discover a society of aliens similar to the Mala’Kakas but different. The human crew is there just for observance and make no contact. They observe animalistic anarchy and a malevolent society based on eroticism and mutilation based on images of Gigers “Hypersexuality.” 6) They discover the inner sanctum of the high priest of the “Space Jockey” realm ,and steal samples, including the “bio slime and other artifacts. 7) A crew member is infected “ raped” to hell by these sex aliens, during the process of stealing. 8) After returning to the Magellan, they study the samples, the crew of the Prometheus stay on the planet for observance. There the first appearance of the” space jockey” is revealed to the audience. 9) Meanwhile the crew on the Magellan discovers the secrets of the “bio slime”.The injured crew member gets sick and starts a metamorphosis or is infected. This is the first generation human/alien hybrid is created. The crew controls its growth and isolates it. 10) Back on the planet the space jockey goes “ape shit” on these humans, and what they have done. Of course the crew fights back. This is a Military and exploratory mission. There loaded! (This is the action part of the movie!) 11) The Magellan is now contaminated. Head operations officer, (Charlice Theron) transfers all data from the ill fated Magellan to the Prometheus. She returns with the surviving crew and launches a Bio war of these first generation alien/hybrids man has now created “ accidently” against the Mala’Kaks. 12) We find out later she knows more secrets of the MalaKaks technology as deciphered in the hieroglyphs years earlier on earth. And that she herself is an android as well. 13) The remaining crew returns to the Prometheus. And one of the androids takes over the Ill fated Magellan on a suicide mission and uses it as a 500megaton bomb, on the Malakaks planet. 14) The Prometheus steals the fire of the gods! But the Space Jockey, conducts a last chase to chase the humans, unfortunately It does not know that his load of biological mutants gets free and infects him as well. He crashes and is never heard of again until many years later. 15) So in the future the Nostromo is sent back to retrieve a viable specimen that the Prometheus was unable to sustain.

1st of all regarding the post right above mine....or wherever it is as you read this in which some stated that the "Company" doesn't know the creature is deadly or the extent of it's bad intent".....no offense but a big part of that does not seem right, It is clearly stated that they, Wayland Yutani, wants the creature to use as a BIO WEAPONS enhancement early on in the storyline..and that much becomes crystal clear when they arrive on Fury 161 and another BIshop who says he is the real Human one but we never know for sure, and his men, start shooting at the custodial inmates in order to secure the creature they suspect is living within Ripley. someone else up there suggested perhaps... "Prometheus" stole something... I do not think Prometheus stole anything, I suspect it is the name of the ship involved in this film. It's just my little guess.... But I think you are dead bang on the money with the rest of it, and again, that was exactly the main idea in John Spaiths original script, that these Growers were Harvesting these creatures to help with the pre-colonization of planets {Burk calls them something professional, you know those things that purify the air and make it breathable for humans but forget what he calls them right now}. I think Prometheus just might be the connection, the ship itself, it may be the ship that actually is sent to investigate what happened to the first Space Jockey whom crash landed on LV426.

Thanx "Sparticus" for your insight!. But..my guess.is.. its the ships name "Prometheus" ".He who stole fire from the gods to give to humanity!" ..was the main idea of this film.. They stole the biological essence of life!..the Secret To forming life" on other worlds. I could be wrong . But my alcohol induced script above is what im guessing is going to happen next summer!

Here's a synopsis that was "leaked" that I like. BTW, the company don't know of the capabilities of the Alien as a Bio weapon in this movie.It is a prequel and it will be 30 years before the events of Alien.I believe a big chunk of the story will be how the company find out about the Xeno. [size=200]Earth. Year 2058. Archaeological digs in Africa reveals alien artifacts that proves humans were genetically engineered by a advanced alien race (space jockeys). These "Alien Gods" also terraformed Earth in order to make it habitable for their human creations. Amongst the finds are coordinates to the Alien Gods' home-world. To Paradise. Months later the Weyland Corp launch the spaceship PROMETHEUS and his crew, into deep space to make first contact. Thanks to faster than light travel a few years later the PROMETHEUS enters the Zeta Riticuli star system. Humans are greeted by their makers, then transported further into space to a scary yet fascinating world. The Alien Gods are proud of their "children", their first creation to reach such levels of intelligence. As a reward they share bits of their astonishing bio-based technologies with the humans. But for one member of the Prometheus' crew it's not enough. In a treacherous act he steals the "bio-source code" to Terraforming, A technology at the origin of all Gods' powers, that could make humans equal to their creators. The Alien Gods may be scientists but are also ruthless conquerors, destroyers of worlds who will not accept humans as equals. They unleash on the escaping human crew their favorite bio-weapon, a creature used to "clean up" worlds before colonization. But something goes wrong in the process and humans manage to turn the bio-weapon against their makers. Giving birth to a smarter, nastier, bigger breed of gut eating creatures. Creatures that will be the demise of Paradise. What's left of the Prometheus crew manages to escape the doomed alien planet. On their trail a survivor Alien God on a familiar ship with an ultimate mission. Bring the wrath of the Gods to Earth.

I tend to agree with IGIGOU ...i think hes not far from what we will see ( maybe of course !! ) watching the leaked comicon photos i think that : 1) Prometheus movie it totally linked with Alien movie , i dont care of what the production says . 2) Fassbender looks like hes playng a big role ( maybe are just random sequences of the shooting they have filmed so far but i dont think so ) 3) Noomi Rapace looks she is in charge of the main role , she looks really Ripleyish BUT BUT there is that strange image of that hand on her ( she looks like noomi) cryochamber ..they are observing her cos she is infected ? or is just someone caring her ? hummm 4) the alien platform looks like the one from the first movie ..it just miss the space jockey with the trasmitter in the middle . 5) there are alot of images of that eggs and nothing about an "active" civilization ..maybe its to avoid spoiling but we can say that the "eggs" thing was something already well developed 6) looks like someone is infected ( the abdominal screening ) and is a woman maybe . If is the woman in the chamber before she looks like nooma rapace . And to be honest the subsequent photo , the woman that is falling down sick , looks again like Rapace . 7) we dont see neither Foster neither Guy Pearce ..both can play the good or the evil , i think that the many photos of theron are a bait ( she can be important for the plot but i dont think her role changed so much to become a main character ) 8) the images we have are really dark ..surely its to avoid to spoil much but again i dont see traces of an active civilization ..everything looks like the lv426

I had a idea that the andriods on this mission would turn in to the xenomorphes, In the original alien film the ailen was biomechanical and the androids in the aliens universe seemed like they where grown instead of built. It could be that the spacejockys created humans and then humans create andriods witch pissess of the jockeys in some way so they turn the humans creation agienst them witch kind of ties in with the prometheus myth.

well - noadays, the "old" ideas of god and creatism are "oldfashioned". these thoughts are simply unbelieveable, and less and less people want to believe. So the storyline of "living" creators, this "space jokey culture" is amazing, as it simply says - "...ok, this is a science fiction movie, a story straight out of the phantasy of the writers - but hey, its not LESS believeable then the stories about god, creatism and jesus!" And yes - thats TRUE! With some fantasy, you can create ANY explanation, HOW we came to LIVE and why we are here. There is no TRUTH, its just THOUGHTS how it COULD have happened, thousand and thousands years ago, that we came to life. NOone knows the complete true story where it all came from, and i think mankind will NEVER know it all, no matter how long they search. An ANT can never understand how a computer works - or even WHATS THE SENSE OF A COMPUTER. Simply - because its an ANT.....

Well no one will never be able to explain how ..from nothing ...the reality exist , a universe exist .. every scientific theory start from something at athe beginning ..but how that something arrived ( even just empty space , dimensions and time) no science will be never able to explain SO the creation theory will always live long life since will be never exist another plausible theory ...we will know the truth just dyng , in a way or another . Returning to talk about Prometheus i fear a bit the presence of androids cos are already a bit an abused theme ... and everyone want just to see if he/it is good or evil ... they will be bad as ash ? or good as the robot in Moon ? i hope the movie will not focus on that too much cos are human relactionships and emotions that make good movies ( moon ,sunshine are a good examples )

WOW! There’s certainly a lot atheistic propaganda being spewed across the PROMETHEUS forum today. You know, I had an existential conversation with a friend one day. During the conversation my friend said, “You know what? I think that if even if God did NOT exist, people would invent one…and so they have. In response I said, “Well that’s interesting, I think that even if God DOES exist, people will try to find a way to un-invent or deny this God…and so they do. I find it interesting that folks like “spacey freak” are willing, and are so readily eager to embrace the concept of a “merely” extra-terrestrial (non-divine) god or creator, while simultaneously ridiculing theological theories that have been held by scholars, philosophers, and men of science…with “superior spelling skills”… for MILLENNIA! I don’t mean to come across as didactic. It’s just that “spacey freak’s” statements reminded so much, of the afore mentioned conversation, that I felt compelled to post it. Moreover, it’s amusing…and at the same time, SAD to me, that the member wrote that there is no TRUTH. In actuality, all of nature is truth. Trouble only comes in to “paradise” when the TRUTH is either misunderstood or intentionally denied or attacked. The fact is that approximately 97.5% of the (non ant) human population believes in some form of a supernatural God(s)…not including potentially powerful extra-terrestrial lifeforms i.e. Space Jockeys. I sure hope the PROMETHEUS film does not go in this presumptuous and theologically and scientifically dismissive direction. Remember folks, good science does not rule out possibilities without proof. To rule out the possibility of God(s) seems very Unscientific…at least to me. God Bless…if there is one, ~Neurion

Well it's all in the title Neurion.Stealing fire from the gods and all that.I don't think they called it Prometheus out of invention.I think creation (creatures and planets) will play a big part in the movie. About your discussion with your friend -People will always need to something to believe in.Always have and always will. Quote - "The (space) journey, metaphorically, is about a challenge to the gods," Scott said. But Scott's ambitions with Prometheus go far beyond simply restarting a hit franchise. The British director said the film's storyline, and script by David Lindelof, was partially inspired by the writings of legendary Swiss sci-fi writer Eric van Daniken. Van Daniken, author of 1968 bestseller Chariot of the Gods, is best known as the first proponent of the so-called ancient astronaut theory, which holds that aliens kick-started civilization on earth. "NASA and the Vatican agree that is almost mathematically impossible that we can be where we are today without there being a little help along the way," Scott said. "That's what we're looking at (in the film), at some of Eric van Daniken's ideas of how did we humans come about." - Quote

Hey Theusprom, I really don’t have a problem with the filmmakers grafting van Daniken’s hypotheses/theories into the PROMETHEUS film. Van Daniken’s concepts do not necessarily preclude the possibility of the existence of a God(s). They simply hold that extra-terrestrials might have visited, assisted in, or “kick-started CIVILIZATION on earth…not CREATED human life on earth. On van Daniken: Several scientists, such as Carl Sagan and I. S. Shklovskii, have written about Däniken's paleocontact and extraterrestrial visitation claims. Although Sagan did not rule out the possibility of visitation, he insisted that "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence", which Däniken fails to provide. Däniken claimed that a non-rusting iron pillar in India was evidence of extraterrestrial influence. Later, Däniken admitted in a Playboy interview that the pillar was rusty and man-made, and that as far as supporting his hypotheses goes "we can forget about this iron thing." Some also question von Däniken's credibility, as he has also knowingly put forward fraudulent evidence to advance his hypotheses, such as photographs of pottery "depicting UFOs", supposedly from an archaeological dig dating back to the biblical era. The PBS television series Nova determined that this was a fraud, and even located the potter who made them. When confronted with this evidence, von Däniken argued that the deception was justified because some people would only believe his ideas if they saw actual proof. As far as your statement: “People will always need to something to believe in. Always have and always will.” This need to believe in something…where do you suppose it comes from? Was is it born spontaneously, out of the randomness of evolution or natural selection…or was it implanted or inherited by a sentient higher power? ~Neurion

Neurion, That is a brilliant question and I am not sure I can give you an answer. I think it was part of the evolutionary step to begin with, things we couldn't explain - like the Sun and Moon and stars.Praying for crops and a good hunt, that sort of thing.In modern times I think it might be something as not wanting the physical existence to be the end of everything.Perhaps people need to believe there is something after we die, after all it is depressing to think once we peg it that's it. Yeah and I agree with the comments about Däniken's credibility, he can sound like a loon when he wants to, but I do think they are going to try and weave this sort of plot element into Prometheus.

I agree with you that it is the name of the ship, I just didn't go as far as to connect THAT with what the actual meaning or it's representation in Greek mythology. So, they got these Atmospheric Compressors that make the air breathable, we see them via Bishop in ALIENS... & It would seem that this art of "TERRA-FORMING" is KEY to the entire plot. Great stuff, and each day that goes by I get more and more excited to see what is sure to be the MASTERPIECE of our times as far as Science Fiction Film goes.

is the WY that give the ship the name of Prometheus ...just a coincidence OR the company did had already in mind something ? ... btw i want to play a bit Noomi Rapace - Ripley ( but i think she will be infected ... ) Fassbender - Bishop or Ash ? Theron - Burke 2 the revenge Idris Elba - a more dependable PArker Sean Harris - Brett Katie Dickie - Lambertttt Guy PEarce - Dallas PAtrick Wilson - Hicks Logan Marshall Green - Kane Spall - a weaker hudson so we are ready ...

Thanks (Frantz) for reading my synopsis of the plot. You know Id love to see at as a big surprise but if your curious going to see leaks , read discussions pretty much by next year you know everything about the movie, Ps Where you writing from? IGIGOU.

eheh im italian , ive watched alien no less than 100 times and for me is the "perfect" movie . YEs i agree ...we will ruin our surprise ...but we cant do nothing else ... What i fear is the "good" movie ... i fear that everything compared to alien will look pale ... it cant be a good movie , it must be an excellent one ... Is Ridley capable to build another classic ?...i fear not but what we have saw until today is good . Ridley will do a great directing ( even flops like 1492 and The Crusades have great cinematography ...and to be honest i like both ) and the cast is AWESOME ( add Sam Rockwell and we have the best cast possible ) , what i fear is the script . I fear it alot . Also i think we have received alot of smoke in the eyes ... --Theron and her naked push ups ...smoke ..she will have a minor role ( i hope ) --i think noomi rapace will not be the new ripley .... i think the movie will be on the shoulders of Guy Pearce , Idris Elba and Ben Foster ( i hope so ) and finally ....i cant wait 6 months ...

Hey (Frantz) I Agree, I waited for Alien 3, forever and when I saw it I was bored/disapointed as hell. I saw Alien1 when I was a kid, first opening! I forced my dad to bring me. it was rated R! I was 8 years old.. It was me my sister and my dad. My sister was sick and just a baby,she had the flu they left early and left me because I insisted! and I was Alone. "Now you know My age! ha! ha! .,Anyway I watched 2 hours of that movie by myself... that movie scared the shit !out of me forever! I went home and vomited when I saw the chest burster! (merda, per sempre sfregiata,ma buona esperienza haha! curare amigo!.

"ya- rrright!?" [img]http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4pxYj3kb0Kw/S6N65jb8k7I/AAAAAAAAGNo/cDO73GDQgZc/s400/lego-alien-chest-burster.jpg[/img]

Thoughts....two ways to think about this. If the signal was heretofore masked by local interferance due to it's limited range the Nostromo might have been the first vessel to detect it. The ship itself was probably programmed to notify the Company in the event of just such an occurance. The company potentially had time to begin deciphering the message before relaying orders back to Nostromo. This packet may have also contained EMERGENCY COMMAND OVERRIDE 100375 NOSTROMO REROUTED TO NEW CO-ORDINATES. INVESTIGATE LIFE-FORM. GATHER SPECIMEN. PRIORITY ONE INSURE RETURN OF ORGANISM FOR ANALYSIS. ALL OTHER PRIORITIES RESCINDED CREW EXPENDABLE. Scenario 2 If the signal were detected by a orbiting radio array, or a ground based installation some time prior to the ill fated last leg of the Nostromo. The nature of the transmission would definitely have been decoded. Though this is less likely as anyone with the proper listening equipment would have been able to detect the transmission, it would have been a race to get there first. That's just my take on things.
