Sigourney Weavers Alien Advice

This little quote from it sent shock waves through my whole body just now. [quote]'Prometheus' - starring Charlize Theron and Michael Fassbender - will reveal how the extra-terrestrial Xenomorph nest which Ripley and her crew discovered on an abandoned spacecraft in the first film in the franchise came to be there.[/quote]

[quote]Snorkelbottom › Posted: 01/12/2012 Sounds to me that Prometheus is about the jockeys and Prometheus 2 will be about the Aliens, from this line... "...What we’re trying to do is squeeze in two prequels…if you explain who he was and where he came from then you want to find out where they came from and you might was to [i][b]go to this place where his people come from.[/b][/i]"[/quote] That sends chills through my entire body man !!! I can't wait already !!! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !!!

But there are not supposed to be any Xeno's in this movie....so how can they reveal their nesting habits. And who said that? the article does not say.

Good advice from Rippers there!

She has been saying the same thing for nearly 10 years. Nothing new here.

I think we have to lose the "xeno" mentality. Grant it, Cameron made one heck of a film when it came to a sequel but Scott is staying far away the series as we know. It is a creature for all intents and purposes. I think xeno just makes the Alien creature sound stupid anyways, of course that is just my opinion...these creatures are smart as we know and not just a battery acid bug. It will be interesting to see what Scott will do...I mean, this is "his" story and to see him return is amazing...I have complete fait his abilities.

June just needs to hurry up and GET HERE before we all go crazy threorizing!!

Agreed! Come on June!

What truly brilliant marketing. I'm new to commenting on this forum but certainly not new, at all, to reading it. how many times have we watched the trailer in real time ahem shot for shot over analyzing it to death?! We are all guilty! And what a guilty pleasure. Now the arguments over whether or not there will indeed be xenomorphs, facehuggers, pre-facehuggers in the urns. I have been looking forward to this since '86 since in my mind the series stops there. I do hope we end up eventually learning where the main nest came from but I don't need all the answers crammed into 1 movie as there are so many questions already. I certainly have faith in Ridley and think this movie is going to absolutely rock and until then...I will continue to happily speculate!

well said fassy. welcome to the blog.

Hey everyone, I'm new to commenting here but have been reading up on this greatly anticipated movie since I first heard of it only a few weeks ago. I'm a huge fan of the alien universe (having made both a scale soldier and queen costume through the years)... And was shocked I hadn't heard of this prequel earlier. My question is this: (and I apologize if I've missed it being answered)... If this is a prequel and takes place before the Nostromo's crew gets screwed, and the story is about the SJ race and derelict ship... How has so much time passed between events? I mean, it takes thousands of years to mineralize something, let alone fossilize it. Therefore the SJ in the pilot's seat can't be that old. Future earth can't have survived that long with us in charge... And besides, the tech. In this movie is comparable to what the Nostromo had. Thoughts?

I agree with Fassysgrl and am new (tonight) to posting. Aren't we having fun! In light of not having heard this angle yet, let me throw out this theory... My apologies if it's been previously discussed. There is/are no pre-existing space jockey(s). Only urns. The ship's flight is automated. The human crew makes an S J (in their image) by accident, compliments of screwing around with the goo... And each other. And then more get made or "wake-up" and add to the maylay. Either this ends up crashing the ship conveniently on top of a cavern full of previously deposited eggs (unlikely)... Or they already exist in another part of the ship. One of the surviving crew goes in the wrecked ship for possible survivors and gets infected by a face hugger which infects the last surviving SJ. We screw ourselves? And we were worried about global warming? PS Ridley loves symbolism. Hence the image of the simplified egg cracked by light in the first movie (why wasn't a more realistic egg from the actual movie used on the posters and ads? What do we see on the new poster for Prometheus? Us.

The Alien eggs in the first movie had not been "nested" in the derelict, they were in safe storage to be used as and when required by the "Engineers". The nesting and nurturing was a suggested thread by that blasphemy "Aliens" which complicated this "....interspecies parasite..." and gave it a back-story that was simple for people to relate to. The whole idea behind Scott's vision was, like it's shape, its lifecycle could and should not be spelt out, thats what made it alien. All we were told was its was totally hostility to all life, a supreme predatory parasite. The Aliens did not require a stupid queen, they were designed to self-reproduce, on their own.

"But I'm glad it's Ridley doing it and I'll be as curious as anyone, or maybe more curious, to see it." So Sigourney knows as little about the plot as we do....everything she said is just an educated guess....so I would'nt read much into it.
