Rough Parallels Between Prometheus and Alien

Wouldn't it be... David ~ Ash ...seeing as they are both androids/synthetics?

Snorky, Could go both ways. Ash Reps the company in Alien as Vickers does in Prometheus Rick

Well David seems benign and free from any ulterior motives implanted by the Company. Vickers, (Charlize Theron's Character), seems like a cold, calculating corporate tool, who is responsible for achieving the Company's nefarious plans - much like Ash in "Alien"

So really... Vicker ~ Ash - Representation of company interests David ~ Ash - Android/Synthetic

We might be looking at this a little too similarly to 'Alien'.......remember, Vickers, for all intents and purposes [b]IS[/b] the company...isn't she? I mean, I thought she was at the top of the corporate food chain....there's still a lot to learn about her, but with that said, it's likely that she has total operational command and there would be no need for alterior motives as this is an exploratory mission intended to examine and aquire rather than the Nostromo, which was a commercial vessel commanded to iniate a search and rescues of sorts to investigate a signal......I'm sure there will be some elements corporate greed, but it would seem that 'Prometheus' may be less about that nefarious angle and more about man's unpreparedness in facing what he finds out there in the Black.. What I'm getting at is I think our leaping Mohawk dude is more comparable to Ash, in the way he loses conrol and attacks the crew.....

Vickers is the Queen of Darkness, the CEO of the company (the character Weyland could be the founder type, the Steve Jobs of the company, visionary but powerless). It is widely speculated that Vickers goes all obsessed with power & inject/infect herself with God matter and becomes one of the Creatures. Theron also plays another Evil Queen in SNOW WHITE & THE HUNTSMEN, a big budget Universal movie released 1 week before PROMETHEUS. It's gonna be Theron's summer.

That said the mohawk guy could be likened to brett - mohawk guy seemingly mutates, while brett was mutated into an egg (directors cut).

True Snorky......but I don't see the whole injection thing @Engr101....We know she's there when the derelict is crashing...other than her and Shaw, we don't see anyone else and that's, presumably, near the end of the film...Vickers injecting herself and becoming a creature doesn't fit with that kind of chronological sequence.

@craigamore Then again we can't really tell if the derelict crashing is the end of the movie/story. Maybe they manage to stop the Jockeys from destroying Earth but Vickers still want to bring back life form, enters the half-destroyed derelict, intentionally infects herself in hope she would survive through cryo sleep on the way home to Earth. She has become obsessed with the fact they have encountered God matter that she would sacrifice herself so that the God DNA would survive through her. Psychotic, suicidal but determined, like many of today's CEOs. OK, that's all caffeine, but who knows?

Does anybody know any Delorean that I can use?

I think I may be obsessed with this movie myself....

You're not the only one @Engr101...sure it's possible, anything is with the little we know, but I still can't buy it....too convoluted an idea her to keep trying to aquire what she likely can't bring back....it would be about survival at that point..wouldn't it?

C-Eggo, You like that word convoluted don't ya :P Guys keep in mind the trailer isn't going to be in chronolgoical order of the movie. The jockey ship could have crashed in the beginning or end of the movie and we won't know for the sure the proper order of the series of events that take place until D-Day. Rick

I know what you mean Rick and I'm not assuming it's at the end of the film because it's at the end of the trailer....I'm assuming the possibilty and likelihood that the scene takes place at the end because...one, you only see Vickers and Shaw fleeing...two, there's apparent ship wreckage laying about as they run........ Craigo, craigamore, C-Eggo...whichever you prefer...

Convoluted....a good word is a good word......I use when I can.....

LOL I'm getting all sorts a nicknames for ya aren't eye.

Great Boos up Edmund

Wasn't there a pile of theories about vickers being synthetic as well?

To be honest, I wouldn't at all be surprised if RS rehashes a lot of themes from the original. I think he's going to use Prometheus to expand ideas he was only able to touch on in the first ALIEN.

Engr101 as a matter of fact I actually do own a DeLorean.
