Is Scott just restating this?

yeah, I've been seeing this quote floating around in Prometheus articles lately. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if in a couple years or so Ridley Scott begins to start his pre-production on the 2nd prequel to the Alien series. I think it would focus mainly on the Space Jockey's and how there people learn, grow and become a species. Where there home planet is and how and why they did what they did as a race. That would be a pretty epic movie considering maybe almost none of it will focus on humans but on the Space Jockey's themselves. Thats how I at least see the 2nd prequel coming out, if there ever will be one.

he said nothing about how they "learn, grow and became a race". that would be such an idiotic movie on the level of lord of the rings. i think he has better sense than to remove the mystery to appease fans who want everything mouth fed to them.

@walterhiller Dude.. What is your problem? Inferiority complex? Separation anxiety from being away from mom? You have 86 post of what? 1) use your head 2) that's stupid 3) your an idiot 4) everything except RS sucks You've got nothing to add here. You are completely incapable of respectably disagreeing. Obviously everyone here lacks your superior reasoning skills of being able to deduce the entire prometheus plot using "common sense". Spare us your bloated sense of self and go away.

Thank You Jeffomorph. I appreciate it. Walterhill, honestly if you want to disagree you could at least state it in a way that isn't being abrasive. Go troll somewhere else you troll because honestly from what it looks like..thats all you really are on the world of the internet is a troll.

No way we ever have a movie only about the SJ home world. We've might get a glimpse someday. 1) A whole movie only about the SJ would be weird and cheesy, expensive and remove all the mystery that keeps us wanting more. 2) We are assuming the SJ or whatever's in the suit HAS a home world. We don't know that. Maybe they are homeless and have this crazy craving to create and or destroy planets.... We just don't know.

remember, this is a modern day mythology. scott has to let us use our imaginations. plus i still think all these scenes with the chair, the ufo by the waterfall etc are going to be in flashbacks somehow.

dont worry we are in the hands of a genius, RS takes you through the eye of the needle... we will mostly come out at night and enjoy the film...mostly!

@Arctech, I agree with you completely. That little flashback in AVP explaining the reason why Predators breed Xeno, complete with an earnest voiceover explaining what is supposed to be visual storytelling, is cheesy, redundant, lazy, uninspired. It looks spectacular, the special fx and all, but the audiences kinda giggling at the whole video game feel to it. I hope PROMETHEUS doesn't make this kind of mistake.

Arctech your correct but if they could create a film about the Engineers without spoiling the mystery behind them that would be really neat. The idea sounds cheesy but if they could create a horror film out of that, that would be quite interesting. To clarify, no I would NOT want it to be like Avatar, Lord of The Rings etc. Just something weird, unique and ultimately terrifying. What are the Engineers? What are their intentions with the bio weapons they created such as the xenomorph? Did something go wrong in the process and how so? I don't look at it JUST as Space Jockey movie but a horror film that surrounds these creatures births and deaths in their own environment. What started all this horror without giving too much away. Create a film like that with few answers but a WHOLE LOT of questions. Spoiling the mystery would just ruin things ya know?
