I want to make this thread for the fans who have a serious idea about where to take the sequel of Prometheus 2. Give us your run down on how the sequel to Prometheus should play out!

MemberDeaconAug-05-2012 5:40 PMWell lets look at Scenario 1 LV 233
If the 2nd movie was to be about what becomes of the following...
a) LV 223 Outpost
b) The Deacon Xeno
c) Weyland Corp/Yutani
d) Shaws Warning Message
So if the movie was about what happens to Weyland Corp after the apparent failure of Project Prometheus as its CEO (Weyland) and other high ranking Member (Vickers) are dead, we have to ask does Weyland or Yutani send out another mission to discover what happened to Prometheus and its crew?
Or does a vessel discover Shaws Message at some point in future and then that information gets back to Weyland/Yutani?
The Problem with such a movie would be the plot holes regarding Alien, if Weyland/Yutani set out to discover what became of Prometheus and then come across the outpost and/or the Deacon.
One of the biggest gripes with AVP movies was how they cant be cannon to Alien because well in Alien mankind had not come across the Xeno prior to Alien 1979, where as the AVP movies and particularly AVP2 mankind came across the Xeno a long time prior to Alien.
Well likewise would be if mankind discover LV 223 and the Deacon, unless at the end of their discovery no one manages to survive and only a vague amount of information gets back to Earth and LV 223 is destroyed prior to Alien.
Also a movie about the Deacon would be far too similar to Alien or Aliens the Deacon is not different enough from the Xeno, so Prometheus 2 if it goes that route would be just like a Prometheus meets Alien or Aliens.
Nope i think the movie has to go and will go the route of Scenario 2.
Which i think will cover and answer the following well visit the following.
a) Where do Shaw and David end up going to and what do they find.
b) The Engineers Homeworld or another outpost.
c) The Elder Engineers and their relation to Engineers.
d) The purpose of the Engineers and maybe LV 223.
e) Why the Engineers created us, why they wanted us destroyed.
f) What else have the Engineers created.
g) Who created the Engineers and Elders.
I think that the above has more scope and is a major mystery, we know a lot about the Xeno, we now have better idea of how they may have came to be, well we can work out that the Engineers are linked with their creation o indeed finding the species and that the Urns contain DNA connected to the Xeno.
we do not know 100% what the Derelict on LV 426 mission was, where it was going and why, we do not know 100% where the Xeno and Eggs came from.
I dont think we would do after Prometheus 2, not in detail i think that Prometheus 3 will link Prometheus 1+2 to Alien but feel Prometheus 2 would be about the Elder Engineers and their connection with the Engineers, Mankind and why they wanted us dead if they indeed was aware of LV 223.
Maybe we ma find out if the Elders and Engineers were created by some other being?
I think we would find out one of the following
1) The Engineer Homeworld and Elders are not aware of the events of LV223, or its creation and maybe even mankind. Pointing to the Engineers of LV223 stealing the fire from their Homeworld to create mankind, then maybe destroy us to cover their theft from the Gods.
2) The Engineer Homeworld is near baron, and like LV223 most of their race has been destroyed, maybe in some kind of Civil War, maybe the Engineers of LV223 created the outpost to create a Weapon they first used on their homeworld. This scenario we may even see their world infested with horrors and created Bio Weapons thus creatures similar to the Xeno but not the Xeno itself as Ridley said Prometheus 2 would steer away from the Xeno.
3) The Engineer Homeworld is pretty much intact and has Elder Engineers on it that are fully aware of the creation of mankind, and maybe also the creation of LV223 and its mission objective and potentially the reason they wanted to wipe out mankind... This would ask the question why would they want to do that and why have they not investigated what became of LV223 or Earth as surely they would not go over 2000 years with no contact or update on the mission.
The one that would raise the least questions and plot holes and one that would also steer away from Xenos would be 1).

MemberOvomorphAug-05-2012 7:07 PMHMMM,,, Shaw and David, make it to the origin of the engineers, there they exchange alot infomation from each other , david gets more info from the ships onboard ....Holograms about the engineers themselves (Im reaching ,lol) anyway, shaw, because of her beliefs, is grated a power or energy to become like an engineer, davids helps her to make this transistion, they inturn head back to earth,bringn back this power (they think) but the engineers, being that they have no real reason to share there power,and are pissed at what they have done so far (Humans) .Position a egg, in a stored place on there craft which eventually is alerted and a facehugger attacks shaw, and at that point David understands they (the engineers) set them up to bring back this spawn to earth and let it do what it was meant to do, david suggest shaw get into the bio-suit to contain and stall the process of hatching, to where it dosent work and they crash, being on a planetoid called LV 426.....so the SJ in alien is a mutated shaw....in bio suit.............what ya think?

MemberOvomorphAug-05-2012 9:24 PMZMAN3494 I second that. It's been done before. Newt survived the complete and lethal infestation of Hadleys Hope only to drown in a cryopod on Fury 161. Ripley survived both the Nostromo Incident, Hadleys Hope and most of A3 only to give birth to the biological manifestation of her nightmares. It's been done, nothing justifies investing in characters through multiple movies only to see them outdone by that which they fear most. Final Destination, the Friday the 13th films, Halloween, and the list could go on, and on. The point being it's cliche, and the final reveal should be something colossal and which justifies all of the waiting for an answer.

MemberOvomorphAug-05-2012 10:14 PMPrometheus 2: The Paradise
[img]http://i1249.photobucket.com/albums/hh517/starparadise86/136746355_Image9_122_26lo.jpg[/img]
In the prologue we see part of the scene of Engineers in the genesis of the Earth and other scenes showing the Engineers watching humans in ancient times.
[img]http://i1249.photobucket.com/albums/hh517/starparadise86/16218.jpg[/img]
There is a sinister plan in motion.
[img]http://i1050.photobucket.com/albums/s402/Albertocrazy86/imagesCAHA3S4M.jpg[/img]
and then the story is seen through 2 points of view:
1) YUTANI EXPEDITION
[img]http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p589/jokerdeldesierto/Ogame_Space_Ship_Wallpaper.jpg[/img]
The Yutani company send a ship called "Ethon Five" to investigate what Weyland found on LV-223.
The crew is composed by:
Miss Takako Yutani (Yutani company CEO).
Marines: Shepard, Hunter, Lawrence, Lekker, Morgan, Bernard, Jacob, Tyler, Cameron ,Logan and Jenna.
Scientists: Dr Daisuke (Astronomer), Dr Arthur (paleontologist), Dr Sydney (Archeologist), and Dr Savir (Geneticist)
Pilots: Jim, Kail and Connor.
The crew explores the pyramid. Inside on the temple the crew is attacked by huge snakes (22 feet long) living in the swamps of Black waters of the big head room. There, one of the creatures crushed the head of one of the Marines, Hunter, with their powerful jaws. Then Lawrence opens fire with his pulse rifle against the creature, killing her; but the corrosive blood reaches his face and body and burned to death. Another snake wrapped around the body of Cameron crushing by constriction. After killing him is burned with a flamethrower by Commander Shepard.
[img]http://i1249.photobucket.com/albums/hh517/starparadise86/Snake_Alien_by_ReBeLKiMy.jpg[/img]
At the same time one of the Marines, Lekker, fled terrified by the claustrophobic corridors of the structure and is kidnapped by the Deacon between the shadows.
[img]http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p589/jokerdeldesierto/deacon_concept6.jpg[/img]
More later the second expedition explorer the Juggernaut and find the deacon adult, now become in a huge monster, even more larger than the Engineers. The creature moves with great speed and agility on the walls and ceilings and attacks by ambush, killing 3 members (Abie, Bernard, and Daisuke). when he finally reveals himself kill Arthur and Morgan with its second mouth. Finally, the monster is destroyed, but the squadron of the mission has suffered heavy losses.
[img]http://i1249.photobucket.com/albums/hh517/starparadise86/9930a422dc642acc4017f0e3b27ce945-d55n0z1.jpg[/img]
Then the survivors of the crew found the cargo hold full of urns, and decide to take 2 for analysis.
Within the Ethon, in the laboratory, the Dr Savir (scientific officer) studies the strange black substance injected into laboratory animals and he discover that not only serves to create a biological weapon, also has other qualities such as reviving corpses. The crew also collected what looks like a kind of solidified green resin, this resin in the form of green crystals preserved in very good condition DNA samples from some kind of creature. The samples dating back millions of years old.
[img]http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p589/jokerdeldesierto/film-alien-egg-morph.jpg[/img]
On the other hand the man who was kidnapped by the Deacon, Lekker, is enveloped in a cocoon. After a while it becomes an egg. Jacob finds the egg and a small creature (a cross between cephalopod and spider) born and jumps to stick on his face.
[img]http://i1050.photobucket.com/albums/s402/Albertocrazy86/concept_87.jpg[/img]
Now the leader of the ship, Miss Takako Yutani, plans to steal the urns of the cargo hold of the Juggernaut to bring back to Earth. Through it all she informs the rest of the fleet, which is to come, about the message of Dr. Shaw, but before leaving the orbit of the moon a huge Engineer mothership (like a flying saucer) flying over the pyramids of LV-223...
[img]http://i1249.photobucket.com/albums/hh517/starparadise86/dfvghjkl.png[/img]
2) SHAW AND DAVID TRIP
[img]http://i1249.photobucket.com/albums/hh517/starparadise86/capital_ship.jpg[/img]
David and Dr Shaw find the home planet of the Engineers like a place ravaged by the war and all cities are in ruins.
[img]http://i1249.photobucket.com/albums/hh517/starparadise86/prometheus_chamber_by_radojavor-d4bkui2.jpg[/img]
Among the ruins Shaw and David sighted hundreds of old ships abandoned in the post-apocalyptic landscape.
[img]http://i1050.photobucket.com/albums/s402/Albertocrazy86/tumblr_m2220o4MVd1rnm594o1_400.jpg[/img]
Then the true God is revealed as a huge biomechanical mothership and kidnaps Dr. Shaw and David.
[img]http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p589/jokerdeldesierto/359_1066199614852_4369_n-copia.jpg[/img]
Inside the gigantic ship everything seems biomechanical and organic. The walls take horrible humanoid forms when David and Shaw crossed by the claustrophobic and dark hallway. Some of the humanoid figures are mated sexually to give rise to new and more exotic life forms.
[img]http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p589/jokerdeldesierto/GIGER_LANDSCAPES.jpg[/img]
Finally both come to the bridge. There are a huge biomechanical monolith. Definitely is not a machine, is some kind of complex and superior life form.
Shaw tries to communicate with the entity to get his precious answers, then David helping her, and begins to transmit the messages in the language of the Engineers to communicate with the God.
There, the creature displays enormous tentacles and inserted into the skin of Shaw. Shaw's body begins to mutate into a big biomechanical woman.
[img]http://i1249.photobucket.com/albums/hh517/starparadise86/hr_giger_csg081-1--7c0d76.jpg[/img]
at the same time the mechanism produces a strange siren sound (as in the trailer for Alien and Prometheus)
The Dr. Shaw begins to see images of the ancient past in his head...
[img]http://i1050.photobucket.com/albums/s402/Albertocrazy86/prometheus_and_god_by_dejano23-d56r8kq.jpg[/img]
And the truth is that the Engineers are just tools, very similar to the relationship between humans and androids.
The Engineers rebelled against his master and creator. They did not want to be simple terraforming tools and created a terrible biological weapon to fight against this Gods. The Engineers found the DNA samples of an extinct race of monsters in Crystals of green resin.
[img]http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p589/jokerdeldesierto/nfs8rn.jpg[/img]
This species lived in LV-223 five million years ago.
[img]http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p589/jokerdeldesierto/ahahah.jpg[/img]
They have a skeletal body with hardened tentacles on the back and a sort of tube attached to the sternum. Then the armed military of the engineers race design their biomechanical space suits based on the appearance of the ancient monsters.
[img]http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p589/jokerdeldesierto/concept001.jpg[/img]
After performing many experiments with the DNA of this extinct Aliens,the engineers finally created the perfect soldier.
[img]http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p589/jokerdeldesierto/alien1.jpg[/img]
But they had some troubles to transporting the eggs, 2200 years ago an engineer trying to transport a shipment of eggs in his old Juggernaut but an incident occurred, and he crashed on LV-426. The pilot sent a signal to his brother explaining what happened before he died and the military scientists of LV-223 began to perfect his creation. In the process many Engineers died but one survived to complete the mission.
[img]http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p589/jokerdeldesierto/space-jockey-alien-580x426.jpg[/img]
And the evolution took the next step and the gun was redesigned and updated to facilitate the transport.
[img]http://i1249.photobucket.com/albums/hh517/starparadise86/prometheusK_screencap31.jpg[/img]
The Engineers plans were to carry the weapon to Earth to use humans as incubators of an army of xenomorphs. The star maps was a trap because Sometimes to create, one must first destroy.
[img]http://i1249.photobucket.com/albums/hh517/starparadise86/tumblr_m3yizyOa7D1rnm594o1_500.jpg[/img]
The visions stop but the biomechanical God entity has read Shaw's memories and she knows that the humanity is interested in the monstrosities that the Engineers have created (as well as other races in the past) and now the Alien ship is headed to LV-223 to stop this threat.
At that moment, David discovers another kind of Urn. Inside he can see a black substance bubbling similar to that contained in other Urns.
[img]http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p589/jokerdeldesierto/concept_79.jpg[/img]
This new liquid can generate a biochemical reaction to convert RNA into DNA and cause a real biological Big Bang (similar to the Cambrian Explosion). This masterpiece of the Genetics engineering is the true fire of the gods. A technology that undoubtedly would make to the humans equal to the Gods.
But before David takes the following action, the terrifying figure of the now transformed Shaw appears behind him to destroy it.
Now a dark and frightening battle will occur in LV-223...

this description of Shaw entering into the Giger-mothership and being 'integrated' into the journey makes me think of

A ship's FIGUREHEAD, imagine some scene later in the film when Shaw becomes the Giger-mothership's figurehead, reaching out from the front of the vessel leading all [i]Creativity, Passion and Kinship[/i] back to Old War Earth, back to Corporate Source.
OF COURSE SHE'LL BE ANNIHILATED by the greed of her human counterparts, on arrival.

MemberOvomorphAug-06-2012 4:23 AM@zzplural,
Thank you...and that was a mixture of impatience and Hype XDD.
@FreePlanet,
I certainly would like that "Shaw became part of the living wall of a biomechanics mothership. And then straight into battle.
BigDave
MemberDeaconAug-06-2012 7:22 AMsome interesting ideas there.
We have to look at many of the concept work and art and deleted scenes and they give us a clue as to what the homeworld would be like. The concept work shows many different and bizarre Bio Mechanical Ships, that look more out worldly than even the Juggernaut and Saucer.
I still think the Derelict on LV 426 had been there for a long long time and its journey was only short so it had left somewhere a small distance from where it landed. This would make me assume the Derelict had left LV 223 or somewhere else in between LV 223 and LV 426.
I would assume that they kept some Xeno Eggs on LV 223 in which they had used the goo the Sacrificial Engineer had taken to break down the Xeno Organism into a substance that contains its DNA and then store this broken down DNA with some other substance in the Urns.
I propose that something on LV 223 acted like a giant Fruit Juicer turning deadly Xeno Bio Weapons into more easy to store and use Xeno DNA Smoothies.

MemberOvomorphAug-06-2012 8:16 PMShambhala That was fantastic, love the visuals and the flow. Keep it coming!

MemberOvomorphAug-07-2012 1:12 AM@Shambhala. Okay, i'm hoping that is the actual scrip for the movie, because 1 it fills in every gap in Prometheus that people keep bitching about. 2 It fits perfectly into alien. Sooooo Shambhala, is that the actual script... or did you just make it up?
zzplural
MemberOvomorphAug-07-2012 8:40 AMIs it conceivable that the Engineers would have "a home world"?. I'm more inclined to think that they are part of an ancient Galactic civilisation that left such notions behind millions of years ago. Even in the light-hearted [i]Stainless Steel Rat[/i], mankind's origins are described as being on Planet Dirt, or Earth, or something like that.

MemberOvomorphAug-07-2012 10:37 AMThe single biggest flaw in Shambhala's narrative, the one deplorable fallacy, the sole error which is almost beyond repair- is that no link was posted where I can buy movie tickets [i]right frickin' now[/i]. Fix it! =)
Loved it! This is the type of thing I wanted to see in Prometheus. =-(

MemberOvomorphAug-13-2012 8:02 AMHey, apart from accepting the drawing as part of GIger's illustrator contract, did Scott never think to ask Giger what the hell that Space Jockey was supposed to be?
i.e. an Elephant being who is bonded to his SpaceTime Telescope FROM BIRTH or something?
It would have ended all the speculation, no?

MemberOvomorphAug-13-2012 9:07 AMUnfortunately this time Ridley was not very interested in the opinion of Giger, but here at this point an interesting question arises...Was there any time when Ridley Scott was interested in biomechanics?...And I say this because as I understand Mr. Scott initially did not like the idea of the croissant Derelict...just saying of course :P

MemberOvomorphAug-14-2012 10:08 AMMapu, who would? And an Elephant driving a massive gun like that?

MemberOvomorphSep-02-2012 3:18 AMMaybe the search for our "end", could lead to a new beginning and what we actually see on LV-223 is humanity's end in the future.
