The ship name 'Magellan' has been batted around on this forum (and others) for a long, long time. Apparently originating in an image that was titled 'Magellan mess hall/deck' or something similar. Lots of people have theorised that it was second ship and/or part of the mission in the film. Well...here's your answer: [b]In Spaiht's original script and Lindeloff's notes, the ship Prometheus was originally called the Magellan.[/b] [url=http://www.prometheusforum.net/discussion/965/ridley-scott-return-of-the-alien-mind]Here[/url] is the source, simply scroll down the page and click the [i]'spoiler'[/i] box on the 6th post.

That´s intriguing me for a while. Spaith said that Lindeloff "respected" his ideas. But the original script was called "Paradise". Then, we now have "Prometheus". It´s a big tour de force to contort the "Adam and Eve in Paradise" story to conform to "Prometheus" myth. I hope this incoherence don´t shows at the final product.

Man (in our case women) seeks the answer to man's most pressing question; "where do we come from." I believe this movie answers this and then some. I remember someone saying "the act of creation is a brutal and dangerous thing."

@Frantz "[i]we have no indication that the Prometheus movie follow the Prometheus myth story ...its just a general idea ....at a precise question Fassbender did answer that basically the ties are very weak ."[/i] Maybe, but to me this makes no sense. It would be like "Alien" had no alien in it...
