Appollogies if it's old news did have a look back at previous posts, nothing stood out!!
Earth. Year 2058.
Archaeological digs in Africa reveal alien artifacts that humans were genetically engineered by a advanced alien race (space jockeys). These “Alien Gods” also terraformed Earth in order to make it habitable for their human creations. Amongst finds are coordinates to the Alien God’s home-world, to Paradise. Months later the Weyland Corp launch the spaceship PROMETHEUS and his crew, into deep space to make first contact. Thanks to faster than light travel a few years later the PROMETHEUS enters the Zeta Riticuli star system. Humans are greeted by their makers, then transported further into space to a scary yet fascinating world. The Alien Gods are proud of their “children”, their first creation to reach such levels of intelligence.
As a reward they share bits of their astonishing bio-based technologies with the humans. But for one crew member of the Prometheus it’s not enough. In a treacherous act he steals the “bio-source code” to Terraforming, a technology at the origin of all Gods’ power, that could make humans equal to the gods. The Alien Gods may be scientists but are also ruthless conquerors, destroyers of worlds who will not accept humans as equals. They unleash on the escaping human crew their favorite bio-weapon, a creature used to “clean up” worlds before colonization. But something goes wrong in the process and humans manage to turn the bio-weapon against their makers. Giving birth to a smarter, nastier, bigger breed of gut eating creatures. Creatures that will be the demise of Paradise. What’s left of the Prometheus crew manages to escape the doomed planet.
On their trail a survivor Alien God in very familiar ship with one ultimate mission. Bring the wrath of the Gods to Earth.

MemberOvomorphFeb-29-2012 2:41 PMThat leak is old, buddy. But it is my personal favorite.

MemberOvomorphFeb-29-2012 2:51 PMYes it is old. Remembering seeing that leak on IMDB awhile back. It was posted by 20th Century Fox but then they quickly took it down. I really like it though. It seems pretty damn plausible if you ask me.

MemberOvomorphMar-01-2012 3:25 AMSome of this is real and is being circulated to test groups, but some very naughty person has added the whole second part starting with "As a reward...". As far as I know that second part isn't real, other things yes. Just thought I'd let you know.
Although we won't see much of 2058, it's my opinion that Shaw's father, as a missionary in one of the last to be inhabited places in Africa, discovers something ancient that Weyland is interested in. Young Shaw either witnesses or learns about the discovery, inspiring her faith and career in archaeology, and we flash forward to present day 2073 to meet Shaw and learn that the discovery was a flashback, the first of a few memories of her father we see.
They've also added little bits to it here and there, and they run two slightly different versions of it in surveys and focus groups... which is why this person maybe tried to add the two together.
edit: when I say the second part's not real I mean the studio never released it or anything. Whoever added it could be close to what the real plot summary is. I've got no clue about how everything plays out for sure, but I've mentioned the 2058 thing and Zeta 2 Reticuli/FTL travel here before.

Were you part of one of the test groups?
I take it you didn't have to sign a NDA?
Just interested.

MemberOvomorphMar-01-2012 9:48 AMold, summarized version of the 2nd ever leaked fake plotline...but I agree, it was my favoprite as well and to this day I think it's pretty darn close to what we're gonna see.

MemberOvomorphMar-01-2012 12:59 PMI didn't have to sign anything because I don't really know anything other than that date and the altered synopsis so it really doesn't give much extra info. What I was doing is different from the guy who leaked the trailer, and I was given expanded descriptions of about 40+ movies and asked to rate them in terms of how much I want to see that film, and a few other basic questions for each synopsis.
The Prometheus one I reviewed had next to no extra info. Others like the Dark Knight Rises gave more details and named a certain secret villain who people already figured out is in there, and will be named as such in the film. The Avengers one was about as vague as the Prometheus one still is and didn't reveal Loki's side-villains or army, though he will have a few generals.
The synopsis I saw is nearly identical to this in regards to mentioning Africa, 2058, FTL travel and Zeta 2 Reticuli system, also the first part is very similar to the official synopsis plus those details.
You really can't make any completely accurate conclusions about the plots of these films based on the extra details I have. I've had to just add them to my own ideas based on all the other info and theories out there in the stuff I've been speculating. It's like they only give you enough so you have a little bit of a better idea so you can rate how much you wanted to see that movie. Also note: the description I saw mentioned the Zeta 2 Reticuli system, but doesn't necessarily mean it has to be the same planetoid.

MemberOvomorphMar-01-2012 1:25 PM also the one I've seen didn't say to "a scary and fascinating world" it was closer to the darkest corners of the universe quote, which is why it sounds weird here. Whoever initially leaked this didn't have access to the thing multiple times and they added in a bunch of things... then I think they ran with the whole second part based on some of the theories going around.

MemberOvomorphMar-01-2012 4:23 PMI ran across an extended synopsis while looking for the leaked trailer to download. From what I gather the Prometheus crew lands on a dead and abandoned world to search for technology.
