Ridley Scott has said this in not an Alien prequel. When you look at the evidence you see that these are not the same ship or planet.

@ allinamberclad - Well said! thanks for saving me the trouble of making what would have been pretty much the same post. You are smart, astute and a real timesaver!

@JonesTheCat - I think it's "C", and @ allinamberclad you are correct, Ridley Scott seems to hint that, yes this IS the same Universe, but the Universe is a mighty damn big place. This is the same race, but not the same planet, or ship. But this does give us the connection to the original Alien ... one we will see revealed in the last 10 minutes of the movie. That's one thing that has been repeated ... the last 10 minutes are everything in this movie. Capt. David 7

Why is it such a hard concept to grasp? It's not the same ship.....

I may work for the company, but im really an OK guy.

We still have no idea on the planet. I still think it might be a sister moon to LV426 but really it doesn't matter to me. The planet in the background just looks too similar to alien. people have been saying the last 10 minutes were all super closed set and few have seen it. I hope for not a xeno but something more subtle. I think the original alien would ruin it for me.

@genjitsu17, not a hard concept to grasp...but until we have definitive proof I'll leave the door open b/c knowing something about how director's take artistic liberty all the time I don't believe this is a closed case...I'm open to it either way, doesn't really matter to me one way or another..weather it is or is not the same ship/planet as in Alien, but if it is it's fine with me too..

Thing is, the jockey chair looks cheaper than the one in Alien, as does the room. They look like plastic. Doesn't look like they're taking advantage of the growth of SFX in the last 30 years.

@biehn-bandit according to a couple people on avpgalaxy, the special effects were only completely finished in the last few weeks, so that might change. hell, with each additional trailer things keep looking different. Each one has more and more after effects added. Just wait and see, maybe it will surprise us.

I find it hard to conceive Ridley Scott "re-imagining" his own work. Typically a re-imagining is done by someone "based" on someone else's work. If this were the same ship, space jockey, and planet ... I think he would stay with the original and maybe enhance a few things. But this is far beyond any enhancement. This is different. That said, I think Ridley Scott will give us the answer to the mystery of the original derelict ship and space jockey. But I think it will be an indirect, or inferred answer. This will be new, but will still let us understand what happened. Keep in mind Alien Resurrection takes place at least 257 years later than Alien, and there is no history of this race of superior Humanoids' with God-complexes wrath on Earth inhabitants. Something happens. Something "big". Capt. David 7

I bought the new issue of EMPIRE magazine; awesome holographic cover and great coverage of Prometheus. The cast give their perspective on the movie and Sir Ridley Scott answers all the questions you could ever ask! Definitely worth the cash: http://www.empireonline.com/magazine/
