This is just a thought, but with all the talk on this forum on the origins of the Weyland Corporation and the interest behind it, would it be cool to have a spin-off circling around just Weyland and its dirty little dealings?
What I mean is something that involves a parallel storyline without "Alien" themes?
No doubt Prometheus is going to leave us with more questions than answers and although Ridley has hinted at a sequel, surely there is room for a whole new take on the "Alien" universe and if Mr Scott had anything to do with it then it could only be immense!
I know I'm getting way ahead of myself here but just look at Battlestar Galactica and how it got re-booted with a more modern tone and structure, not to mention how well it done!
I know a lot of you are probably thinking this guys mad and how that is NOT in line with the original 'Alien' theme, but before you all do a Khan and from hells heart spit at me, I just want you all to think past June 1st and how you may be doing an Oliver Twist and asking 'Can I have some more Sir Ridley?'
Granted we the general public know little or nothing about what Prometheus is all about, In fact [i]we could be so wrong!![/i] but I know that when the summers over and we've all seen this eagerly anticipated film, I for one will be wanting more! In fact I think I'm more excited about the fact that Ridley is delving into the universe he created back in 1979 than I am about Xeno's and such!
In short, would it be that bad if Fox might decide to do a story solely on the Weyland Corporation, with Ridleys blessing of course?
Thoughts?

Personally, I'm gonna need an R rated version of this movie to look forward to on Blu ray, or something along them them lines! Otherwise I need to hear that there is an idea to expand upon this movie with a Weyland Corp... Evil, Nasty, To hell with all human life I want more/pure greed; I evented MOTHER; rape Earths' resourses, create Mayhem!!!! Reccession is my friend!!! kind of movie set in the future.
I know Blade Runner touched on this but with the way the planet is right now, reccessions, uprisings, civil wars, famine and political greed through banking, its almost like we are are looking straight in the face of the Weyland Corporation everywhere!!!! The rich get richer and the poor...... well lets just say in my country they WILL get poorer!
I feel that Ridleys Blade Runner isn't that far of fact in the world we live in today! minus flying cars and androids that is!
