Courtesy of Alien Prequel News: "Hungarian movie website FilmSite.hu has posted an article today with a quote from Prometheus director Ridley Scott, giving more insight to the connection between Prometheus and the original Alien. The article is in Hungarian, and unfortunately Google translate doesn't seem to tackle Hungarian all too well. However, using a couple of extra translators I've managed to more or less make sense of the quote: "When the first 'Alien' movie and 'Blade Runner' were made, I thought that in the near future the world will be owned by large companies. This is why we have the Tyrell Corporation in 'Blade Runner', and Weyland-Yutani in 'Alien'. They sent the Nostromo spaceship. The Prometheus is owned by an entrepreneur called Peter Weyland, and is played by Guy Pearce. That's the connection between the two films, and nothing more. Prometheus is a new film, a new world, and is full of new ideas. And of course new monsters as well." FilmSite.hu quotes IC Press as their source, but there's no mention of where or when Sir Ridley made this quote nor any other sources backing it up yet, so please take this info with a little bit of salt for the time being... (Source: FilmSite.hu) Posted by Christian Fowler" There you have it folks.......

it would be a waste of a fine talent if he is in it for only a minute Mind you he was only in the Hurt locker, briefly and The Road, both films he totalled about 4 minutes so its possible.

The thing I haven't heard anything on - and I guess we'll just have to wait for the movie - is: Does this maintain continuity with even the other Alien movies, not just "Alien"? Is Ridley Scott really trying to redefine the whole series and making it so that HIS "Alien" movies are the only "canon" of the series? Will they TOTALLY discount the "Aliens Versus Predator" movies? What about "Alien3" or "'Ressurrection"? It's the one aspect of this whole continuity thing that doesn't seem to be on anybody's 'tracker.

i think its safe to say you can forget any tie in with avp. I think the majority of the film is to focus on the sj and how mankind came about and how the space jockey came to be on board the derelict vessel. and the origins of those creatures .

Remember ridley said this film will be looking backwards not forwards so from that i deduce its all about the origin of human existence and how we developed as a species with the aid of alien intelligence.

I pray he ignores everything. Aliens is a fun action film but not his vision and was the beginning of the end of that creature being terrifying at all. I also love the 4 day lifespan he had intended. I just don't like what that universe became and what i spawned. Love the original but it feels so different then everything that came after it.

Plus this doesn't really explain the 8 minutes of "Alien DNA". Plus, there is way more then just that by even looking at the trailer.

I think a lot of what's being said is to throw you off the scent a little to retain a complete surprise so there are nuggets of disinformation to deliberately create a buzz and its working superbly .
