Final scene should be......

That would be identical to the last scene in AvP. I think he wouldn't want to mimic that film.

The problem is that all the AVP serie was made to appease fans/geeks ... and it did fail ....

I agree...I wouldn't be surprised if the ending was close to this. However, I have the feeling that Peter Weyland is going to be the one inside that jockey suit, giving birth to the first chestburster. You'd never watch Alien the same way, knowing it was him inside there!

That would be a pretty cool possibility. I like the idea. He may even go one better maybe. He might include a little piece of footage at the 'tail'-end of the film credits. Sorry, I couldn't resist the punn! Again we'll see.

Final sequence will be: Nice space footage with a weerie soundtrack Roll credits

that would be unbelievably predictable...as is proven in that we've all considered that ending at some point. i still believe that the "hint" toward the events in Alien will be a subtle glance at something that we didnt actually know about, but will understand how it relates to the derelict, SJ, planet from Alien, when we see it.

It wouldn't work at all for me (or Ridley hopefully).

@astubbindeck "I have the feeling that Peter Weyland is going to be the one inside that jockey suit, giving birth to the first chestburster. You'd never watch Alien the same way, knowing it was him inside there!" --- i will never watch Alien again if they tell me that guy pearce was inside the suit ..that will kill everything Alien was .

The ending of AVP being similiar is a stretch at best, plus AVP isn't a consideration here. Sometimes you have to give the fans some red meat, like the old B Horror movies did in the 50's.....The Tingler is loose in the theatre!!!!

I don think that will happen...imo not when you have all of these other creatures mutating and emerging...I think the xeno will not be a significant part of this story...but we may see HOW it came about.....RS has expressed in some interviews that the xeno is a little spent...he's run his course then again he could be lying....but as always, FUN TO SPECULATE

Maybe Riley will continue to tease us as he may leave the origins of the Space Jockey STILL unresolved! he may in fact leave te 'origin unanswered until perhaps subsequent films and it is at the end of some later films as was the case for Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith where the last five-or-so minutes connects to dots to Star Wars: A New Hope. That would be an equally excruciating wait as well! It could happen though. Maybe over a series of up-coming films the answer may only then be truely known.

sorry to ask this stupid question...please forgive I know I am a little sleep deprived, but what are those blue horizontal bars to the right of our name on our posts? lol...have they always been there? what do they mean....my meds must be wearing off, never noticed them before;-P

All the comments sound reasonable, but I still feel that punctuating Ridley's reign as THEE "Alien" director by paying homage to his first and greatest SciFi adventure by coming full circle would be epic. This then would definately put an end to the Alien franchise and the classic Xeno as we have known it. The concept has resolution and a completeness about it that should be delivered.

I agree that the "Jockey" sat in the chair from Alien will indeed be a human and not a Space Jockey, that'd be a massive twist and a good way to tie into the Alien franchise. . .

Xenophobe has it as well...I also thought that the thing inside the Alien SJ suit would be human...perfectly resolute and complete that way. No wiggle room then for beating a dead horse or wondering about the original Alien universe...set a course for the new Prometheus Universe:O)

In some ways though, it would be both intriguing yet at the same time dissapointing that the SJ would after-all have some sort of 'Human' connection. On the one hand it is compellling to see where that would go yet I would love the idea that'he' (SJ) represents a complete and total ALIEN who's origins result and reside from somewhere in the depths of the universe. Otherwise it kinds of makes the point of the film franchise: "ALIEN" defunct because what is it all about throughout the entire frnachise if it is not about ALIEN's in and throught the universe. I would hope that there is some explanation of 'us' as Humans, Space Jockies, Engineers (probably SJ's as well) and Xeneomorphs (maybe a thread of them are originally based somewhere else, while a considerable portion of them are bio-engineered also) and even a higher form above the fray in the form of the 'GOD' species to the SJ's/Bio-Engineers, Xeno's and thas microbial matter left over down the evolutionary gene pool: 'Us'!

IRBESE....ADD maybe? I can't quite follow you, but I'm sure the film will be epic:O)

Ridley and Co hinted a few things... The last 8 mins will tie in to Alien There is a scene on LV426 There will be 100% Alien DNA in that 8 min scene Alien Fans will get their wish and answers. Something regarding the Xenos, and seeing a new Rolling Stones Concert and you can always expect them to play a certain classic song even as a Encore. This all links to that they will show the Alien Derelict and what/how/why and when it happened to it.

I meant 'us' as 'us' - Humans. Then a thread/exploration of the SJ's and their origins. A third about the Xeno's and yet another about the crittical moment when all or at least some of the above mentioned disparate species cross-connected to become hybrid, cross-overs. Space Jockeis being kept as Space Jockies so we can still ponder where they cam from. Humans as humans so we can ponder about ourselves and where 'WE' truely came from. The Xeno's and where they came to be and from waht origin means, method and opportunity that got them 'created' and the mixing up of 'us' with 'them' and 'them' with 'those' over there and so on and so on.

@BigDave...i did not know that RS came out and said there would be a scene on LV426. and i simply can not get by this idea for the ending...it would be so disappointing and lacking creativity to me. and it does, most certainly, echo the end of AVP, which was an AWFUL movie, and very cheesy ending.
