MemberOvomorphApr-12-2012 11:39 PMI have a strong feeling the reason for Prometheus and its origins is to create a sequal (not ALIEN) that has been in the works throughout Hollywood for years. The concept of Weyland-Yutani Corp, Colonial Space Marines, Androids, Terraforming and Space colonization would fit perfectly with a remake of [i]Forbidden Planet[/i]. It would fit perfectly within the realm of ALIENS. Lets assume, for the sake of argument, that the main SJ with the snorkel does not posses the prime technology in the Universe but are some sort of rogue militeristic race out to steal it and the real GOD Race is seen in the Saucer shaped ship above the waterfall in the trailer. This GOD Race could be the main antagonist in a sequal to PROMETHEUS and Weyland learns of their home planet from the Star Map which he sends a Terraforming colonization expedition. This expedition finds the remnants of the KRELL "GOD Race" of the planet Altair. I have written a draft script for such a movie and will be very excited to see if the outcome of the followup to PROMETHEUS follows this route. Please give your thoughts on my theory. This is my first post after reading you guys for a few weeks now so be gentle! lol, Thx
In addition: I do not believe that for a moment a race would put directions to their home world as a warning. Why give directions at all if they did not want them to come. It would have been much easier to not leave the directions giving up the location. Does not compute, that is why I do not believe the antagonist, i.e. snorkel face, is the race that left the drawings. And also, whomever left the drawings would already know that the humans where there to read it if they found it. Huge inconsistency IMO. And, why create a race if you just want to kill them, Geez. These things are just not cohesive to the plot if the time is taken to really think about them. I must add that this will only be true if in the movie it is proven to have been a warning!

MemberOvomorphApr-13-2012 1:08 AMWhen you consider the evidence, numerous archaeological sites all parrelleling one another it's compelling. The other thing to ask is what happened to each of those cultures? Did they vanish, die out, drop off the face of the Earth. If each of them abruptly disappeared, is there another story there?

MemberOvomorphApr-13-2012 2:20 AM I like where you are going with this it fits with the storyline of the [Promethus] god story that by meddling with matters they bring about their own demise plus the issue that why would we see a saucer at the begining of the film if we then only see a crescent shaped vessel?
Also the very fact that these beings are clearly advanced does seem lame that they would leave a warning as if they had in fact been overwhelmed by one of their own faction they would not have been able to return to do so. Perhaps the beings we get to witness are not aware of the pictograms prior to PROMETHEUS and when they discover this they are none to pleased and that sets matters in motion and that they become punished by using the xeno gene, sort of 'oooops we messed that gene splice up' factor.
We have not yet witnessed whether the main Saucer ship does in fact have similar structure to the crescent vessel so in comparison to the two tribes of the Predators it is very possible that we see two different variants to the jockey's. And so your concept
of a possible beginning or even prologe to a sequel is very sound and i'd love to see your script get sounded by RS and even Hollywood, hope something comes of that good luck.

MemberOvomorphApr-15-2012 7:23 PMI really hope they take this route. It has been so many years without a follow up or remake and it more than deserves it from its concept and the movie industry really has the tech to make it awesome in this day and age. [size=200]Forbidden Planet[/size] that is.
