MemberOvomorph01/14/2012So does anyone else think that in this movie, a crew member may have prior knowledge to the Prometheus' mission. I know it's been done in basically every Alien movie, but does anyone have any ideas what a crew members secret agenda/orders could be regarding finding the Engineers and their planet??

MemberOvomorph01/14/2012I don't actually, because I think the [url=http://www.prometheus-movie.com/community/forums/topic/1029]corporate greed twist[/url] happens near the end where everyone is almost dead anyway.
Have a read though, you might get a kick out of it. Maybe you'll figure out another motive for David being in the star map room.

MemberOvomorph01/14/2012So you don't think anyone on the Prometheus' mission is up to anything shady? Hmm. . . Well that leaked plot made out that the SJ's created one of the crew god knows when and implanted specific DNA in her etc which turns her evil blah blah blah. I just can't wait to see why the ship is sent to those co-ordinates!

MemberOvomorph01/14/2012Haha, me too. It feels like the start of the film will be as important as the end because Ridley has hinted at two prequels and suggests we "might want to go to where his [the creatures'] people came from".

MemberOvomorph01/14/2012I hope that Ridley Scott is very much involved in any potential sequel/prequels! I don't wanna see Prometheus go all "Alien3" esque or get ruined by a studio boss who has no idea. Do you think a longer trailer will be released before June?? I kinda want another longer one, but don't at the same time!

MemberOvomorph01/14/2012There's bound to be trailers released before June, just to tease and taunt us even more.
I'm still disgruntled at Alien 3 BTW. I got attached to the whole Newt-Hicks storyline in Cameron's film.

MemberOvomorph01/14/2012Yeah that storyline was good! Alien3 just doesn't exist in my eyes, that may seem a tad extreme but hey whatcha gonna go. Hopefully Prometheus has a midnight release here in the UK, I'll be queueing to see it straight away!
To come back from going off on a tangent there. . . I like How Scott has included the whole discovering our creation but it could lead to our demise scenario, I just can't wait to see what/who exactly is responsible for either of those (creation or destruction).

MemberOvomorph01/14/2012I'd have a problem if there really was a stooge with a hidden agenda. Reason being, the Company is financing and orchestrating the whole mission (or at least the assumption is such). Therefore, why would the Company not just send off like-minded individuals who are committed to the Company cause. It would be a weak plot in my opinion.
However, that's not to say allegiances switch, minds are lost, and the instinct to survive kicks in, when all hell breaks loose - or should I say when all paradise breaks loose :)

MemberOvomorph01/14/2012Remember the slogan of the film,,,,,,,,,,these explores seek out the story of human life and get stranded........so if that happens, maybe they try to get with the larger alien species, to find a way off the planet and end up creating a nasty mixture of dna or lava juice or sumthing, and it all backfires............???your thoughts////

MemberOvomorph01/14/2012As their very reason for going to Zeta RET comes from a archaelogical dig. One never knows exactly how much their SPONSORS know about their destination. A few clever omissions can make the entire journey seem legit when there is indeed a hidden agenda. That star map for instance. If Weyland wants a roadmap to other planets containing possible corporate interests what better way to explore vicariously than to view the star maps of an experienced and far flung preexisting civilization.

MemberOvomorph01/14/2012chumbrother, you lack the basic analytical skills for these kinds of discourse, please don't post any more of your thoughts.

MemberOvomorph01/15/2012@Ghost Solitare - Yeah good point there! I just hope in a way that this movie will be as epic as being promised, not like an Avatar for the older people. . .

MemberOvomorph01/15/2012@Lyle on your first point. I do think someone does get greedy or have a hidden agenda becuase of the start of the trailer when the person (woman) sounds as if she has been caught and is confessing to someone. Just to jog your memory she says stuff like "im sorry it was so wrong". i think the one saying this is the one you see scream "please!" i think that she has thought of personal wealth when she found the DNA or whatever, thus greed being the downfall. What do you think?

MemberOvomorph01/15/2012...That first msg in the beginning.....I always think that might be Vickers...someone with a hidden agenda?....just kinda makes more sense...like she realizes that she and the company made a horrible mistake!!
...is everyone here 100 % sure that Msg is in fact from Shaw....have'nt seen "Girl with the dragon tattoo"....so I am not familiar with her voice?

MemberOvomorph01/16/2012well i think the events in Prometheus are precisely what gives the company previous knowledge in the alien series
