RE: PLANET ZEUS SCRIPT. I've read discussions where this supposed leaked early script was denounced as a fake ( but not categorically so, it seems, by Lindeloff ). But much of what happens in the actual movie happens in the script. The script perhaps fleshes out certain points which the movie fails to address. Certain characters' motives are clarified enhanced somewhat. What does concern me if the script on any level is genuine, are the copious amount of clumsy spelling mistakes and grammatical errors throughout the entire text. Surely screenwriters' English cannot be that poor. If the script is fake then how can it so closely have lined up with the finished movie? This script has been floating around for months.

crappy formatting, I had to dump the text on that link into Notepad to get wordwrap. Anyway, what was the release date for this 'script', i.e. how far ahead of Prometheus release date was it? Okay, that was weird, very similar to the Prometheus script in significant ways, but oh so clunky. Much more religious-based, and freaky. I didn't not like it, but, I dunno... It might have been more annoying than the 'white alien' in Alien4 - that thing was a 'real abomination' and not in a good way.
2013 sci-fi horror novels 'Custodian' and 'Tandem' available from Amazon, B&N, iTunes etc...

I read the Planet Zeus script, I thought it was better than the wiki plot, have not seen the movie yet, but read the wiki plot, heard that the movie and wiki plot match, but no big deal, still seeing the movie
I should reach the frontier in about 6 weeks. With a little luck, the network will pick me up. This is Ripley, last survivor of the Nostromo....

Forgive me, as I have not seen the film yet. Okay, disclaimer stated... None of the alleged "leaked" scripts that were floating around seem to be that close to the synopsis or plot lines that are now readily available. Could you please post a link to the script you refer to? I've read several, but maybe I missed one? PM me if you would rather. I do not fear spoilers.

Sure, but this is VERY close to the finished movie and I don't want to spoil any further. It's unlikely I feel, that someone could have come even this close to the finished movie by just piecing together info/clips which are already out there. Anyway ( spoilers ahead ) : Here is the link, which is actually from this site: http://www.prometheus-movie.com/uploads/leaked_script.txt Again, in the script, spelling and grammar mistakes abound.

Ah yes, THAT one. The tentacles alone give it some legitimacy. I would LOVE to read the original script by Spaights that was full of chestbursters and classic Aliens. Dang Lindleoff! LOL

"Planet Zeus"? With all due respect, that's sort of uncreative.....and here I go once again with my geek-talk : We already have a planet named Zeus, although its his other name, "Jupiter". Some other user here mentioned other possible names for the sequel; one of them was Valhalla, but another was a Greek name that I liked even more (because I envision Valhalla as an afterlife where warriors fight & feast for eternity, a concept that I can't seem to mix well with Prometheus or the Alien franchise). Shame I forget the name. ):
