This new interview with Kate Dickie has got me thinking... First of I'll list what we know, adding the elements of Kate Dickie's interview: 1. Humans discover they were created by an alien race, not god. 2. Humans travel for 5 years to the planet with the answers. 3. Humans discover an ancient temple and the famous ampule room. 4. Humans grab a helmet/skull and at least one of the ampules. 5. Humans return to their ship as a storm/explosion hits 6. humans study helmet/skull and an ampule. 7. Someone mutates, Shaw pregnant, skeletal monstrosities stalking them. ...Unknown Gap... 8. Derelict takes off, human ship crashes into it. 9. Derelict crashes, Shaw and Vickers barely survive. Of course there is the mystery of old bald guy, but that's another discussion. What has got me thinking is the Space Jockey remains in the ampule room, the helmet/skull, the eerie emptiness of the temple and ampule room, the mention of the skeletal monstrosities and the creation of life idea. Why would the crew go so far - for proof of their creation and for answers. But what if all they find is the ampule room and a dead alien. No answers, just more questions. What if god, or in this case our creators (Space Jockeys/Engineers) are dead. But surely if these guys could create life they would have a means to cheat death. what if our arrival on the planet resurrects them and sets of a chain of events that leads not to the creation of the Alien but the resurrection of the Alien, from times gone by. We go looking for our god, and answers, but what we uncover is the truth that our creator is the devil, an ancient evil with an ancient army of demons (the Alien). Is this what Ripley meant by "...Its about everything..." and "...Its Epic..."

OMHO in the trailer when (presumably) Shaw said ..."I was so wrong" probably it mask the entire movie plot. She no longer believes in God.

I don't think Ridley was trying to hide anything in that quote of his. It's a movie about god in a manner of speaking, if you're looking for something bigger than that you won't find anything. I translated "It's about everything" into "it's about us", not literally everything.

I think the line "I was so wrong" is simply about humans perceptions on how life came to exist on Earth or indeed the galaxy, as it's assumed that life just evolves etc but the thought that some civilization is going around creating planets and species would lead to that view being "So wrong". . .
