1) You think prometheus is : A prequel to Alien, not a prequel ( there are no other options ! or is a prequel or is not !! ) to Alien 2) How do you feel about the Space Jockey's humanoid shape ? 3) Which actor/actress would you have liked to take the lead instead of Rapace ? 4) at the end we will see ... : an egg , a facehugger , a xenomorph , a chestbuster ,a queen or nothing of all that ? 5) at the end where do you think Prometheus will rank in your Alien's movies chart ?

1. Prometheus is a movie that takes place in the same universe, previous to the events of Alien but not directly leading into Alien. 2. Boring 3. Noone 4. An egg and maybe a facehugger. We see an image of a xenomorph earlier in the film 5. Second behind Alien. Alien 3 and 4 will cease to exist as canon.

1) NOT a direct prequel.... but the newly envisioned STARTING place for the whole "Alien Universe" 2) Fine with it as a "humanoid" is nothing more than 1 head, 2 arms, & bi-pedal. A 12 ft. tall "humanoid" like thing that has an exoskeletal stype frame and a very big head is still freaky. 3) No-one.. Ridley specificially chose her (just like he did Siggy over 30 years ago) and Noomi part is now in the can. 4) A FaceHugger closer to how we recall it from 79 flying towards the head of the SJ pilot after he is already seated... but we dont see anything after that... End scene...Credits. 5) Tied with the first one... hopefully even a little better!

1. It may not lead directly into Alien but I do think it will have some sort of tie in, due to the dead Space Jockey they find in the Alien movie. 2. I think it's cool and ties into older histories of the Summerians and Annunaki and such. I don't have a big opinion, I'm open to whatever this movie has to offer. 3. Don't mind. 4. Hard to say, I doubt there will be an active Xenomorph action in this film as I've hard this is what Ridley wants to stay away from, this movie is supposed to be a separate idea. There still could be a possibility but it won't be the center point of the film. 4. It's hard to say, it could either take first or second place to Alien. I rarely have favorites though as I tend to like so many things.

"ALIEN" 3 and 4 almost destroyed the franchise, I hope everybody forgets them--[1]"ALIEN" then "PROMETHEUS".

1. It's not a prequel but is in the same universe. 2. I think it's pretty cool idea 3. Noomi is just ok for this role. 3. None of that, but we could see an egg somewhere in the middle. 4. Either #1 or #2 after the Alien. Yes my expectations are really high for this.

1. It is a not a direct prequel but leads into the first movie alien. 2. disappointed in a way, but excited to see what they are capable of. 3. Noomi is awesome for this role, seems very innocent 4. at the end a face hugger on the space jockey 5. either better than Alien or right behind it

1. A sequel in the sense of preceeding Alien in time, but partly set in the larger peripheral world of what the crew of the Nostromo discover. 2. Not surprised, may very well be a universal standard. 3. Rapice is fine. 4. None of your choices listed. 5. Prometheus will surpass Alien due to it's scale.

1. i don't think Prometheus is a direct tie in to alien, but i do think this is lv-426 and that is the derelict. 2. dislike, very dislike. and why is it always big and blue? james cameron did it in avatar, i did it back in the forth grade (pre-avatar) and now its being donr here........ little overboard lol 3. Natalie Portman, i heard the the studio actually wanted her, and for the first time ever i kind of agree with them lol 4. well we already sort of see an early looking chestburster thing, and a statue of an alien so thats good for me lol 5. on par with alien and aliens, due to the fact that from what we have seen it looks like alien, but with some of aliens excitement, with its own big epic story to add, so possibly even better lol

1) Not a prequel 2) I won't judge anything or anyone until I see an actual movie. But still, it could've been better 3) Myself! I'm joking. No one. But PLEASE GOD, NO PORTMAN 4) None, I think. But if I must choose between these options, I'd go for the eggs. 5) Straight after Alien, or maybe it will even share the first place. Yay, I'm optimistic and already brainwashed that everything about this movie is going to be awesome.

1) A prequal that explains mostly about the space jockey with little xenomorph explanation, and doesnt directly link to alien. 2) Didnt like it at all to begin with but its growing on me. Need to see them properly now. 3) Christina Ricci...just kidding. No idea. 4) Yup. 5) Very high hopefully. Probably number 3?

1) not a prequel 2) not crazy about it, but I'll wait to see the movie. I wonder how it communicates, how soes it sound. 3) rooney mara...... 4) some sort of egg 5) If it is not better, it should be at least at the same level as alien.

1. It's definitely a prequel just dosn't tie in directly. 2. Slightly disappointed but not suprised. There's a whole lot more to get excited about. 3. No one, I'm confident RS has made an informed decision. Time will tell though, roll on 1st june 4. Me and Montgomery Brewster vote for None Of The Above :):):) 5. I havn't looked forward so much to a film ever but i'm trying not to build up my expectations too much. We would all love it to be the greatest film ever but im hoping it will at least be biting at the heels of Alien.

1) F*** you Ridley Scott. Why did you go Cameron all over us with Weyland, it's Weylan-Yutani you moron, WEY-Fliping-LAN! Trying to make it mainstream and then say it's not a prequel. Shame on you! 2) I liked when they weren't yet HUMAN! 3) I don't care. 4) Pfff! prepared for anything... 5) Let's find out!

1) Ridley Scott created the Alien universe, so this will be a prequel to Ridley Scott's Alien. James Cameron's film diverges from the Ridley Scott universe. This isn't a "new starting place", but more of a removal of the perversion submitted by the other Alien films. Think of Alien and Prometheus as canon, and the other films as fan-fiction. Ridley Scott suggests the film is a new vision with Alien DNA, but really, this film is the storyworld Ridley had in mind all along. If Ridley hadn't said the film was a re-imagining, many of the viewers would leave the theater unsatisfied. 2) I don't think we yet know what the Space Jockey looks like. The creature in the trailer may have just been put there for show. Also, if H.R. Geiger is involved, the creature, even it it has human qualities, will still be off-the-shitter cool looking. 3) I think Noomi will work well. I wasn't involved with the casting process, and I doubt most of you were either. I have faith they picked the best person for the job. 4) I think whatever creature we are introduced to at the end of the film will explain why the crew of the Nostromo find a hole was burned through the hull of the ship leading to the egg chamber in Alien. 5) Considering Ridley Scott is enthusiastic about getting back into the science fiction realm, and he had been conjuring up a story for this film for decades, I submit this film will be excellent. All I know is I look forward to learning more about the mythology behind the Alien universe.

3) keana Reeves should have been david! Know your history of the making of this film before you cast stones. Shame on RS. As for the real question here, whoever the female would be she would not be a large breasted female. Mr Scott not a fan of the sand bags.

1)Prequel 2)Boring at first, but could be interesting...we have no idea about his 'personality' 3)Rooney Mara would be my perfect choice 4)A chestburster with predator mandibles...god I hope not... 5)My ranking I predict will be Alien, Prometheus, Alien4, Aliens, Alien3

1) With only those two options: not a prequel as I do not see it directly leading up to Alien. 2) I like it, fits into the nephilim story of giant aliens/angels/gods/or etc. visiting Earth thousand of years ago. 3) Noomi Rapace is perfect. She is incredibly talented and the general movie going audience will be unfamiliar with her, and that is perfect for a film like Prometheus. 4) Probably nothing. I am kind of expecting a more bleak ending, as opposed to a jump/scare ending 5) Considering Michael Fassbender and Idris Elba are two of my favorite working actors; considering I've actually had vivid dreams about this film since it was first announced; and considering I am really into ancient alien theory/odd history/etc. this will be #1. Most likely make it into my top 5 of all time too.

I don't think Natalie Portman would have been good at all. Not only was it a good idea to go with a relatively unknown actress, (much like Fincher did with Rooney Mara for Lisbeth Salander), but as much as I enjoy Portman in her roles - she is always playing Natalie Portman, and that's it. No real diversity in her work.

1) Set in same universe, but not an immediate prequel - final scene would not be of an infected SJ. 2) Humanoid shape fine. Patrick Wilson would be a great choice. 3) Rapace was pretty obvious choice. The casting computer could have made it. 4) nothing 5) Probably third, behind Alien and Aliens.

1. What biomechanic said. But, please don't make last minutes about an infected SJ. 2. Humanoid fine. Patrick Wilson as Dr. Manhattan will be good. 3. Rapace obvious choice. Casting computer could have done it. 4. none of that, i hope 5. Alien, Aliens, then maybe this.

@ Sigismundo Here you go [url=http://www.upcominghorrormovies.com/movie/prometheus]3rd input from bottom[/url] Keanu's involvement mentioned - misspelled his name earlier. Keanu Reeves hired writer Jon Spaihts to script the space journey epic Passengers, which apparently got him the meeting with Fox and Scott Free, where he pitched the idea of an Alien prequel that the studio and Scott loved.
