Here's my theory. And it's a bold one. It relies on the premise that Prometheus is set on LV-426. Ok, here goes: The SJ ship crashes (as we see in the trailer). The ship is full of urns, on their way to terraform / destroy earth. Upon impact, some of the urns are damaged, releasing their powerful, un-holy contents. This substance, unstable, envelopes and alters not only the (derelict) ship, but slowly infects the entire planet. The ships structure is affected (it becomes more bone-like and organic). Remaining urns undergo metamorphosis - into eggs. The SJ (or pilot) becomes even more 'attached' to his chair, in fact he's veritably welded to it. He also becomes infected by contents of eggs/urns (newly created facehugger). Overtime his body becomes seemingly fossilised, as does the ship. The landscape / geology of the planet is also altered - hence bone like, organic looking bits of rock. The atmosphere is altered. The distress / warning beacon, planted by the surviving crew of the Prometheus becomes warped, meaning the message becomes disrupted / difficult to decipher. (Even radio signals are disrupted by the forces at hand). Perhaps the changes take a couple of decades - by the time Ripley et al visit some time later, the planet is almost un-recognisable. Think of it as a biological H bomb, slowly altering everything on the planet, including the planet itself. Aw I know I could be well off the mark, but still..

Exactly what I've been thinking, if one of those urns is used to populate and terraform a whole planet, think about the destructive and catastrophic forces it could unleash if opened.

Maybe the previous theory eggs being UNDER the derelict isn't so far off. I can't remember who brought it up, but it was a hot topic for a day or two. Perhaps they were just grubs or an ant hill or something to begin with... LOL Not a bad theory at all. It would actually answer alot of questions.

Yes! One or more urns is cracked upon impact and all hell breaks loose

This is why i think the real "mother" of the Alien is the derelict itself. Think about it, the urns are produced (presumably) by the ship, and it has a delivery-mechanism, it is also probably bio-mechanical in origin.

Yes - perhaps the ship alters the contents of the urns, or damages them, upon impact

hmmm, i must say your theory sounds very interesting and might be even true. Indeed if the urns contains lifeform that can mutate quite everything and the ship crashes that hard on the ground, many of them might crack and leak, causing an enourmous mutation!

@Xenotron I am pretty sure you can come up with better arguments than that. If you don't agree, why don't you tell us why.

This theory is awesome. I think the storm from the first teaser was caused by the SJ building after the crew invaded it and returned to their ship. No wonder the crash of the Derelict may cause some sort of planetary atmospheric and biomechanical catastrophe that will turn LV-426 into the planet from the original ALIEN.

@Dropyourlinen, Excellent theory bro, really enjoyed reading that:)

AAAARRRRGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE PLANET IS NOT LV426! For farks sake! Stop it! Ridley Scott is not making a prequel to 'Alien'!!!! He has too much integrity to do that. This is a stand alone movie. It may in some way link to 'Alien', but that is IT!

I clearly stated in my post that I could be 'sooooo wrong' and that it was a 'bold theory' and that I could be 'well off the mark' - and yet, Xenetron - all you can type is *groan*. That's a pretty constructive piece of feedback! Well done! And theSNARK, why, thanks for your patience and contribution also. Hey everyone, whatever you do, don't you dare post 'ideas' or 'theories' on this site - Xenetron and the SNARK won't be happy! I probably AM wrong, but it was an idea - if I'm right however, I sure am going to laugh my ass off right in your faces!

Here's an IDEA (covers up in case Snark is nearby).... They told you it's not LV-426 because then people MIGHT figure it out...Ridley has already proved to be misleading on purpose. He doesn't WANT people to figure it out. Your theory is SO good, Dropyourlinen! Well done.

Dropyourlinen: My apologies. (Great username by the way.) It's just the continued idea that this is LV-426 frustrates me. We are talking about one of the great film makers of the last 30 years. He just ain't gonna make this a simple tie in to a movie he made a long time ago. Something to think about: If this is LV-426, and the company know where it is, why wait 'till a bunch of truck drivers (because that is what crew of The Nostromo are!) , who happen to be headin' in that direction, stumble upon the place?

Thank you, Private!

Ahhh! theSNARK! That's more like it! Considered feedback! (Thanks for apology btw). I know - I am just speculating. It's all one can do really, but it IS fun. But answer me this - wherever the planet is, would The Company not have sent out another ship sooner? Whether it was LV-426 or some other place? Also - other reasons why nothing was sent to LV-426 sooner: -Warning beacon frightened people away -Nothing was ever heard from Prometheus, so investment went quiet in this area for a while. 'Case closed' until sometime later -The Company had to do a cover up - the failure of the Prometheus mission nearly gave them a bad rep. 'Cover it up for a couple of decades!' -Company heads rolled after the Prometheus debacle - new staff, new regime. Then one day, the case is dusted off and re-opened.. 'hey let's surreptitiously divert a deep space mining ship to that failed Prometheus last known whereabouts' -Beacon signal not recieved for years and years 'cos it's damaged

Dropyourknickers: It's very late where I am. I would like to answer your questions, and I will. But not right now. (It's nearly 3:00am here. You figure out where I am!!) See you tomorrow, mate!

interesting theory @Dropyourlinen.

probably wrong, but it's fun to speculate..

MemberOvomorphMar-25-2012 3:04 PM
I forgot about this thread, but here goes: I don't think the film makers really care about continuity and they'll probably not even address the theory at all. This is a movie after all; not an alien geology special on the Discovery Channel.
