Megellan Destroyed?

I like it.

I Like it too, in my case, because if fits with what I, you, we all, have been saying with each day that goes by. And with my Bold statement that the company KNEW and deliberately caused the crash of the Derelict on LV-426

The scene where Theron is running and stripping tells me she set the ship on a collision course with the derelict and she making a b-line for the escape hatch as we see her climb into escape hatch and get out of there and then end up on the surface of the famous planet...

the collision smell sacrifice of someone ..btw ...magellan and prometheus ... 2 ships ? two expeditions ???

Spartacus you write good stuff here. How does the company know about the ship and what might be on board? A signal would have to be sent back to earth months before the events in order to allow time for action. Why crash it at all why not invite it back to earth and be ready for it? Or are you saying they new prior to the launch of the exploration? All this would be closely tied to Alien/s etc.

Wow, something else... Ridley says something HEAVY in the 3rd teaser that hasn't stopped GNAWING away at my guts. He says..."Little things...doing great big terrible things". He definitely emphasizes this as well, like it's a KEY & REPETITIVE thing in the film. The credits at the end of the official Trailer...read...in big bold letters W R I T T E N BY J O H N S P AI H T S and then the other writing credits underneath. There is a chance however slight, but quite real now, that we are going to see the ORIGIN as Spaihts described it in "Harvest" of the "Internecivus Raptus", in it's original infant baby stage form, coming out to earth, literally, from a hole in the ground.,

What if, I suggest, the central focal point of the film, is not, The Ampules per se themselves, but the bigger thing, the only other much bigger thing, the work the "Engineers" are doing on other planets, Harvesting them? An earth based expedition team comes along, fucks with their "goo", needed essentially for manufacturing synthetic beings or life forms to assist in their primary objective, Harvesting other worlds and consuming their natural resources, even steals some of the Ampules themselves they think in the best interest of their mankind, and they decide to wipe out the race. The Engineers load up a vessel with Xenomorph programmed Ampules and send it on a coarse for EARTH. The Company sends an order to intercept the ship before it arrives there. Someone from the Prometheus crew forces it to crash on LV-426 !!! Just a "Leaked Plot mixed with Facts collected about the making of the film" type educated Guess.

This is a good thread with some awesome ideas. And I agree, there is what looks like an escape pod burning right where Shaw and Vickers are running from. But didn't Spaights publicly deny having written "Alien Harvest"? Personally, I hope NONE of that story was real, and I hope none of it is in this film. I thought it was very weak at best. The fan-created synopsis (with the BIOFORMER) posted a few weeks ago was far better than that one.

The spaceships look awesome! Couldn't help but notice that large skull on an operating table, perhaps fossilized? It's kind of reminiscent of our old buddy SJ from Alien without the nose hose. Definitely no Xeno's! Yet

We wont really know until we see the movie. Ridley has been so secretive about this project. There are all kinds of theories about how this movie is going to turn out. I have read the whole Alien harvest thing, I have read that this movie is basically the Thing only in outer space, a member on this forum named RHunter posted something about Charlize Theron being the STAR BEAST and along with that note we have heard that through the long journey in space the ship goes back in time to primordial earth through a wormhole and that where and when all the events take place in the movie. We have heard that the goo gets on Logan Marshall Green and causes him to evolve back into a neanderthal. And so on and so fourth. Ridley has done a lot to keep this movies plot and storyline under wraps. There have been some small hints but I think he wants this movie to shock us and break new ground in science fiction and film making. Keep in mind this is NOT George Lucas directing a movie this is Ridley Scott.

Didn't someone check the "harvest" script and found out it was made with OpenOffice and not the standard script authoring tool other Spaihts scripts were done with? Also, for the last time, the "star beast" plot summary was made by an IMDB user.

I like micro changes in air densitys theory - That works well for me. Sphaits claims he has never even heard of Alien Harvest and it definately isn't his work. I have to say Prometheus is feeling like a hybrid of The Thing/Event Horizon - I for one hope that we see a chestburster come out of a 8 foot space jockey, then we see lots of huge, different deranged Aliens. This is what I was hoping Gigers involvment had been about. I'm not digging the humans turning into neandrathal thing and all turning on each other. I want to see never seen before xenomorphs.

Mistaken post you guys are right about that and I was wrong. http://www.alienprequelnews.com/2011/08/jon-spaihts-puts-alien-harvest.html

@High Priest-If memory serves me, I remember seeing a still or clip of someone using a flamethrower on someone/something inside a tight corridor on the ship. Perhaps there will be a monster that gets loose on the ship? I'm sorry I can't readily find that now. It looked a lot different than the scene of the crew members firing them in the vehicle access garage. I do believe Ridley is holding some major details back from us on this first trailer, which I am totally fine with. I don't want to be spoiled too much before I go to see this.

I would imagine from the shot of the mutant guy leaping on someone with a flame thrower that one of the crew is trying to torch the mutant he shoots between two vehicles the guy with the flame thrower torches between them and the mutant quickly climbs on top of the vehical using super mutant ninja speed then does a flying body slam elbow drop followed by a mutant power bomb...........

I rewatched alien last night and something stuck out in my mind: in the egg chamber, only one section (the one with blue mist) contains intact eggs. All the others have eggs that (on my high def screen) appear to be open and laying on their sides. Whatever happens in prometheus, there has to be a crap ton of eggs, most of which are "hatched"...

"most of which are "hatched"..." mmmmmmm, would need to send in Colonial Marines with state of the art firepower
