AdminEngineer01/24/2012I was emailed this today. Not sure if its the same "plot leak" that's already been posted here. I haven't had time to cross reference, but regardless, here you go guys. If it is the same one, let me know. Otherwise, discuss.
[center]-----------------------------------------[/center]
Future Earth in the year 2058. Humanity has made great technological achievements. However, while searching in Africa for evidence from the past, archeologists unveil the ultimate surprise shock stun when scientists discover extraterrestrial alien artifacts, which seem to reveal that Mankind was genetically created by a mega advanced alien extraterrestrial species, who are known as the giant Space Jockeys from the first Alien movie directed by legendary filmmaker Ridley Scott.
Even more startling, the extraterrestrial alien gods terraformed all of Earth to provide a planet, which could safely harbor the life of the new Humans. The search by the Humans of the dig area uncovers the location in space of the alien extraterrestrial home world, which is called Paradise. After a few months pass, the Weyland Corp sends the Prometheus star ship with a Human crew in order to make first contact with the extraterrestrials aliens amongst the stars.
With the ability to harness faster than light propulsion, after several years have elapsed the Prometheus arrives at the Zeta Riticuli star system. First contact is successfully achieved with the alien extraterrestrial creators peacefully welcoming the Humans. Next, the extraterrestrials aliens take the Humans to a frightening planet of great wonder.
The alien extraterrestrial gods approve of their Human children, who have impressive accomplishments and the Humans learn they are the first of these children to rise to this level of primitive intelligence. The extraterrestrials aliens share some of their ultra mega advanced technology with the Humans because the Humans have earned the right to be further uplifted as a civilization.
Treachery among the Humans strikes as a member of the Prometheus crew doesn't believe the aliens extraterrestrials have shared enough technology with Earth. In fact, this traitor takes the biological source code to the extraterrestrial alien terraforming technology, which is the basis for the great powers of the alien extraterrestrial gods.
With this awesome technology, the Humans could become equal with the aliens extraterrestrials. While the extraterrestrial alien creators are accomplished scientists, they are also a political and military empire controlled by many ultra great military geniuses. In fact, the aliens extraterrestrials have actually destroyed many planets during their imperial expansion.
The extraterrestrial alien gods are highly angered by the Humans trying to become their equals. In order to stop the fleeing Humans, the aliens extraterrestrials send a bio weapon creature monster, which has the purpose of preparing deadly worlds for habitable colonization. Yet the plan backfires as the Humans are able to make the bio weapon creature monster attack its extraterrestrial alien makers.
It turns out the Humans cause the monster to become extremely smarter, more ruthless and much bigger. This new creature destroys Paradise. The surviving members of the Prometheus space crew leave the fallen alien extraterrestrial world.
However, while the Humans travel back to Earth, one of the extraterrestrial alien gods has survived and is determined to unleash the alien extraterrestrial wrath as the shock of the gods against the citizens of Earth.

MemberOvomorph01/24/2012@ Rakkasan Snorkelbottom's just an ass. Don't let his generous heaping dosage of swine fodder dampen your spirit. He may have severe problems and is medicated.
Poor fella.

MemberOvomorph01/24/2012Anyway, back to Prometheus.
As others have said, I also feel the script is too simplistic and mundane. Alien worlds, in my opinion, are just that-- far out and bizarre. Ridley loves to spin a good yarn and leave something open ended to keep us coming back for more. Or perhaps a conclusion with two or more directions the story could be going, uncertain of which path to take (ie- David Lynch).
Ridley did say epic! Weeeeeee!

MemberOvomorph01/24/2012[b]@draekus[/b] Ah now that is very interesting to know. I wonder which one it might be? I'd also be interested to find out how it actually leaked.
Did you source shed any light on anything else regarding the film?

MemberOvomorph01/24/2012I don't believe the plot line to Prometheus would be anywhere that near that epic. Certainly, there will be epic shots, but horror tends to work better when more time is spent getting to know the characters rather than painting them as archetypes. Alien, for example, was essentially a character driven story with brief moments of action. Also, literally half the film was spent developing the ambience of the situation. I think Prometheus will move along those lines.
As long as were talking possible plot lines. Historically, explorations have ended four ways.
1. The expedition encountered difficulties and had to turn back early. Nothing of interest discovered.
2. The expedition returns with stories of untold wonders and artifacts.
3. The expedition returns with stories of untold horrors and physical depredations.
4. The expedition disappears without a trace, and maybe its fate is discovered later.
With Ridley Scott at the helm, I would put my money on three and four.

MemberOvomorph01/24/2012Scott [i]has[/i] talked about "ancient astronaut theories"......ugh. The notion that a vastly superior intelligence which has survived long enough to conquer the interstellar void would share their technology with [i]us[/i]...........well, it's just utter codswallop. Absolutely no good could come from any such gifting, because we'd instantly set about finding out how we could use whatever it was, to off each other/gain a competitive advantage. End of story.
It would only work if the SJs shared their tech, just to screw with us; to see how much of a mess they could make of our civilization.

MemberOvomorph01/24/2012@Mentos No, unfortunately. I don't know him/her that well so that's all they shared with me. They did say that the actual script was great though. (and I trust their judgement).

MemberOvomorph01/24/2012@Snorkelbottom: I'm a big Monty Python fan. Now every time I read a post from you I'll be hearing John Cleese.
As for the story line... Ehhh... Sorry to disappoint but it sounds less than epic to me. It's all been done before. I sure hope the SJ's aren't friendly... Not ever. Just void of conscience and totally badass. The beginning sounds about right, but I don't think anyone (any human) survives to return.

MemberOvomorph01/25/2012One detail : (sorry for my broken english at first) in an interview an actress saids that her role in the movie is the person in charge of the wake up of the Prometheus crew.
She saids that she dies in the movie about 28 mn after the beginning of the movie.
So in 28mn R.Scott exposes the archeologic stuff discovered on Earth, then the trip to Paradise, then the first attack of the space jockeys ? In 28mn ? I love that supposed script (or synopsis) but when I remember others R.Scott movies, as he's taking time to make us discover the beginning of stories (movies) dammmm every "all of that" in that supposed synopsis 28mn is a little short for me, I'm sorry. But I repeat I love that superb synopsis anyway given in December by a kind person who tried to join in it all the infos given here and there on the internet. Just my 2 cents : whot do you think of ?????
Cheers.

MemberOvomorph01/25/2012This plot is one of the first I read about this film, and it's probably fake, but who knows. However it remains interesting, similar to the Greek myth, but with a twist at the end. Certainly the punishment of the gods would infest the human with the bioformer. Thereafter victims human would begin to mutate into monsters. These monstrosities would begin to decimate the crew of the Prometheus. Then the next Act is that the survivors decide to take action on the matter, and do so using technology stolen through reverse engineering. And continue taking samples of DNA or the bioformer of dead mutants. In this way manage to strengthen biological weapon initial to give life to a new race of creatures more intelligent, more dangerous and more large; creatures that will be the condemnation of paradise. And this is very logical, because After surviving the reprisals all that is left to do is retaliate, already one way or another the gods take revenge against the humans. Here would fit perfect way of the derelict If we take into account that the best revenge is to use the same monstrosities that the human created to infest the Earth, in the same way that treacherous humans made with his paradise world…and maybe the SJ is stranded on LV-426 because somehow the human interrupted his mission...but in the trailer the ship SJ is not the same as we saw in the first film... well if that were the case then I hope that Scott has in mind a sequel...

MemberTrilobite01/25/2012@ Rakkasan & Galaxy Dave - Personal attacks are out of order.
@ Enderwiggin - British humour is the best, all the best comedians are British.
@ Alien DNA - Arthur and the Sanya Clause movie, yeah real funny, I'd rather wacth Billy Connolly thanks all the same.
@ DB - Thanks, I think, John Cleese was awesome in Fawlty Towers.
Back on Topic - Defo Fake IMO, it caters for what we think its going to be but doesn't go into any real detail. I agree with Rakkasan, it looks like it was written by a 12 year old, a12 year old troll.

MemberOvomorph01/25/2012I think that this plot will be partly true when the film comes to fruition. . .

MemberOvomorph01/25/2012The famous explorer Magellan's name gets mentioned a lot as one of the possible crafts in PROMETHEUS. As you may remember, Ridley did a movie about another famous explorer called Columbus in 1492: CONQUEST OF PARADISE.
1492 is about an idealistic explorer, Columbus, who offers to expand the greatness of Spanish Empire by discovering India through Atlantic Ocean. Instead, he & his crew discovers America. He is accused of having God complex by challenging the Church authority that the edge of the world can be reached by a man made vessel. He is rebuked: "Are you saying you are the Chosen One?"
Of course, when Columbus does reach the New World, the Paradise of the title, it is churned to shit with clash of cultures, colonial greed, nasty politics & exploitation.
I bet PROMETHEUS would have similar tone & plot projection.

MemberOvomorph01/25/2012i feel sarcasm and satire go hand in hand and every lauded comedian from peter cook, to the pythons, bill hicks , to billy connolly, have used it constantly. so sarcasm most certainly is not the lowest form of comedy more often than not its the highest.

MemberOvomorph01/25/2012@ Snorkelbottom: Faulty freakin' Towers! I forgot about that! Superior to even Python I might say! Just didn't get to stick around as long (what... 8 shows?).
Back to topic: No one survives guys! The last surviving human (Shaw?) gives birth to the first "classic" Xeno... Inside the SJ's suit. The chestburster simply rips through the SJ's "suit" too. We... become the destroyer of worlds... (but Ridley, knowing we already know about face huggers, wouldn't come right out and show her becoming infected... He must've thought of a way to keep it from being obvious)... Hmmm.

MemberOvomorph01/25/2012I agree with the fake assessment....it's too.....rudimentary a story...too simple and the ending is too good to be true for our protagonists. It just isn't Ridley.....

MemberOvomorph01/26/2012Here's my take. The derelict is really old, right? The SJs were pissed that humans were able to decimate their planet. Perhaps, since these gods were so powerful, the lone suvivor SJ took a ship, full of alien eggs and were determined to wipe us out ages ago on earth. That's right. I think they travelled back in time. This in turn would also correct the timeline and allow the SJs to continue to live. But the Prometheus crew was onboard this ship too, determined to make this mission fail... and with infected hosts onboard, everybody dies and the ship lands on the planet from the 1st Alien movie.
