Last 8 Minutes on LV-426

Well, maybe that's the reason why Ridley wants to leave the original mythology (and of course, the overexposure of the xenomorph) In this way preserves the mystery of the original mythology. But I personally would like to see a sequel or prequel to Prometheus in the format of spin-off or universe expand, IMHO of course.

And I think that's exactly what the spin offs will produce. We will find the SJs have their fingers in more than one pie, so to speak.

@TheNextLV426, On the other hand the Alien DNA may be the Easter eggs and the final 8 minutes of the fall of the Derelict, and that's it (the mystery continues and prometheus can advance independently of the Alien franchise for a possible sequel or prequel )

@ethon-the-ripper True. But when RS talks about the last 8 minutes having alien DNA I was assuming he meant, running around the ship chased by a creature rather than DNA in the literal sense. It's a tough call, on one hand I can see the alien Easter egg so everyone says oh wow thats what happened. On the other hand I can seer RS sticking to his guns and no having no tie in to the Alien SJ

cool story bro

@TheNextLV426 I think Easter eggs are not a literal appearance xenomorphs or facehuggers, rather than just a fan detail insidious may recognize, for example the mural/statue or whatever of the xenomorph creature in the trailer (the Xeno-Christ superstar) PS: By the way, I agree with Allen that DNA will not be very literal, perhaps it is as you say, led to claustrophobia and narrow corridors.

"Finishing the movie where Alien begins would kill a potential new franchise before it even begins" ....and we have a winner!

But Prometheus is not an Alien movie, Scott has said a million times. On the other hand it is unlikely that Scott directed a sequel (realistically) but has been said that a possible sequel to stay away even more of Alien, probably as a spin-off. And by the way, Easter egg is just a tribute to the fans, not necessarily literal appearances will xenomorphs in the plot.

Looks like the last shots we've seen are of Vickers and Shaw surviving the crash, so what do they do next? Could the scene of space jockey in chair come after the crash, it dose look like bio-mechanical suite is coming off of him rather than going on. And it looks like they crash on same planet.

I think that the last mintues will explain what the Nostromo finds in Alien without it being a real sequel. But an explanation. just imagine a scene at the end of a battle. an impregnated Spacejockey (i don't know how or why) takes the ship and leaves. some other stuff happen, the film focuses on something else. the end. now we can lead to a sequel without alien(s) but we can imagine that the surviing spacejockey had a chestbursterevent leading to die and maybe the derelict to crash on lv423 (not to far from lv223?) where it later can be found. not bad ei? (i don't like to say, but the end of alien vs predator did inspire me here)

The Film will end with a open ending like say those adventure books where you can choose to go to page 278 or page 194, or like some games like Outun where you get to select which area you want to map out to next. Thus the end of the movie will give a hint to explain what may have happened to Alien, but also have another part that means they can explore something else in a Part2. This could leave Ridley Scott to go and do another movie and touch up on and explore the link from the last scene and Alien, but then how can you make another full movie to tie in Prometheus End to Alien begining. Or he can explore another area, like more about how those Temples came to be, how those Urns came to be so like a Prequel to the Prequel. Or even explore what happens to the survivors if any from this movie. We just dont know how its going to end or be linked or not with Alien.
