MemberOvomorph10/5/2011I was over at IMDB, just glancing at the cast and their Character names and came across some interesting ti bits that popped out at me. Now there is a younger child cast to played a much younger Dr.Elizabeth Shaw, the girl looks no more than 7 or 10 years of age. Secondly there are two to four actors cast to play Mercenaries and lastly and Benedict Wong cast to play a character named "Ravel". Looking at this, I see that this story will have very indepth plot. We have some Mercenaries and we know that they are hired guns for someone but who in this case, perhaps the other competing company? Maybe their ship is the Magellan and the only ship that escapes as the Prometheus is doomed? Perhaps following the Prometheus to their selected location, information provided from a mole inside the company that is sending the Prometheus? Competing Corporations? This is just speculation of course. Lastly, we have a younger version of the character of Shaw. So, we will see a flashback of course but in what manner, perhaps the creatures are probing her mind or does she dream in hyper sleep? This story just gets better and better each time!

MemberOvomorph10/6/2011I think the leaked plot outline that gave a start date of around 2058 for a discovery that gives mankind coordinates to an alien world might be correct. We might see young Shaw accompanying the discovery team, with her father who could be an archaeologist. This is what some have speculated. Then it would jump forward to the 2070s after the Prometheus is built, and we see an older Shaw who took an interest in the project and joined the crew. You might say she gets captivated by whatever they discover and she spends her whole life dedicated to following up on her father's discovery.

MemberOvomorph10/6/2011very interesting discover Cain ..that say us 2 things
1) that maybe noomi is really the main character after all
2) we have many characters involved , mercenaries and a quite big crew ( or crews ) ... i hope that will leave space to character development

MemberOvomorph10/6/2011Well, from the article that I just read, we will see a young shaw in the film with her father. As for the Mercenaries....it's like a monkey wrench being thrown into the working machine. I think somehow they may steal the canister and the Prometheus crew are the ones to blame by the creatures.

MemberOvomorph10/6/2011I think with the inclusion of the girl playing the young SHAW we will see the family dynamics between her and the parents as aparentely she loses them at an early age. I'm only guessing but I think that is probably the only input to the story she will have.

MemberOvomorph10/6/2011This is all starting to make sense. Remember what Noomi Rapace said that there are scientists and believers and she said that her character is a believer. It would be cool if the mercenaries were fanatics aginst the corporation and it was one agenda vs another. Cain 1977 great work man!

MemberOvomorph10/6/2011Thanks man! I kind of think that Shaw (Rapace) will lose her faith when she loses her family, kind of like a Jodi Foster in "Contact". The Mercenaries can do anything and Mercenaries are hired by people, corp's or just one person...so, it will be interesting to see what they are after and why? Perhaps another powerful company.

MemberOvomorph10/6/2011mmm i think that something like a fight between corporations , fanatics , humans in general will distract from the basic of an alien themed movie , it must be a scif-fi-terror movie not some syndacate wars .

MemberOvomorph10/7/2011i also see that both the kid and one of the mercenaries are list as "uncredited" . If that is definitive that mean very brief apparences . I think the mercenaries can escort the scientists in africa ( maybe is a warzone ) but they will not be on the spaceship .
One of the mercenaries is credited but maybe because is also a stuntman in the movie ( his basic profession )

MemberOvomorph10/7/2011I can see activists against the company. It will be cool to see the inner workings of this company and how they operate...
