Alien prequel not yet released???

Ridley has stated that there are "two more steps until Alien" meaning prequels other than Prometheus. Full movies, not TV shows or "mini movies". I believe his son will be directing one if not both of them w/ Guy Pierce, Noomi, Fassbender & THERON!

He's also stated that Prometheus is a stand alone film and that it goes off in a different direction to Alien. Lindelof said that Prometheus had 2 babies, one of which turned into Alien and its sequels and the other will go off in the direction of the Prometheus sequels.

I think you're blowing it a little out of proportion with the additional theory, all based on what he merely said, but who knows, time will tell Sometimes however, actors are mistaken and say things that are more or less correct in interviews. Example: In an earlier interview that I saw a couple of weeks before the release, Idris was very [b]adamant[/b] that Alien was released in 197[b]5[/b].

Finally. Bona fide proof that further sequels will, in some way, be pulling us back to how it is related to the original story (Alien). Personally, I wouldn't be to surprised if their are Predators by the end of the 3rd, (I doubt it though).

@Magellan9. How can you blow a theory out of proportion? lol. That's why it's called a theory doctor. I didn't base it on what he alone said.

There's the Prometheus relaunching 10 11 12 teaser, which alot of people seem to believe means something other than the DVD/Blu Ray release. Also, there's a teaser of the engineers voice on an answering machine? What does all that mean?

Sorry but I think it's quite far fetched to think that 10/11/12 is online to promote another film entirely. Especially just based off of Ilba's statement about the film not being a prequel. Everyone involved with the film was quite adamant that it wasn't a "prequel" per se even before the film came out. They were trying to get movie goers to understand that it wasn't a "prequel" like the prequel for The Thing in which you see exactly what leads up to the original. They wanted people to understand that it was a stand alone story in the Alien universe with some of the same "aliens" or "creatures" and "The Company" in it. I too think you and a lot of other people are blowing 10/11/12 way out of proportion. I too used to believe that it was going to be a big announcment but trust me, it's just the dvd release.

^^^ Agree

if whatis101112 is nothing, then there's gonna be a LOT OF really unhappyfilm-goers, a lot of really unhappy alien fans - but then they've already endured ALien 4, so they must have THICK SKIN by now - LOL

Yes they mean by not a Prequel that it is not a direct prequel in that the events of Prometheus do not lead to Alien. Thus.... None of the crew in Prometheus have nothing to do with Alien and LV426 The Engineers who died in the movie cant and wont have anything to do with Alien and LV426 The Deacon does not have anything to do with creation of the Xeno or Alien and LV426 None of the Derelicts left on LV 223 in Prometheus get to LV 426. Ridley has already said that Alien was a the event of the Derelict ship crashing on LV 426 thousands of years ago, and that it was carrying Egg Cargo and one got lose and got to the Pilot who then had to land down the Derelict in a safe place and activate the Warning Beacon. I would also not be surprised if we never see the Derelict land on LV 426 in any future movies, i think Ridley will by the time Prometheus 3 is finished explain the purpose and connection and creation or how these all came to be. LV 223 Outpost, the Urns and the Xeno.

Maybe they will be releasing the Movie with more scenes than the Original but then again the DVD/Blue-Ray release has extras including the Engineer cut scenes so it could just be that. To me the 10 11 12 is simply a date in which we will get to see the movie in a different light, and by that we will get more footage that we did not see in the theatrical release. That could mean extended cut or simply that we finally get to see things in the extras that we have not seen as of yet.... i.e deleted scenes.

@engineering. Quote "I too think you and a lot of other people are blowing 10/11/12 way out of proportion. I too used to believe that it was going to be a big announcment but trust me, it's just the dvd release." I don't mean any disrespect when i say this! but the same could be said about most subjects regarding Prometheus on this site! All we can say, if we don't have the facts is "maybe".... "what if"..... "its possible"....."i think"......"imo". Although, deep down, i don't think it will be the ACTUAL prequel, it's just a thought. *smiley*

There's alot of conflicting statements from cast and crew of Prometheus. On one hand, they are saying that it goes off in a different direction to Alien and on the other hand, they are saying that there are a couple more sequels before it ties into Alien? I wish they'd make their bloody minds up!

Imaginations sure are running wild with this 10/11/12 thing..

@necronom 4 I think Ridley wants to explore the Engineers and the connection with mankind and why they created us, more than cover Alien. I do think he will give answers regarding how the Engineers came across the Xeno and what connection there is, and i think he will go on to say how the Xeno came to be or how it was discovered. The reason for this... Well while Ridley thinks Alien has been done to death and he wants to concentrate on the Space Jockey there is still one big question left unanswered in all Alien movies... [size=200][b]Where did the Xeno come from?[/b][/size] While Ridley may not want to go back to the Xeno, i feel he will do and will explain how it came to be, and the reason i think is because if he does not answer it and if he leaves it a Mystrey which is what he wants to do. When he is long gone, Fox could always give someone else the story to come up with when and how the Xeno came to be and they could end up creating a story that would make Ridley turn in his grave. You see Ridley lost creative control over how the Xeno Evolved, if he did a Alien 5 then how is he going to do the Xeno any different apart from a Evolution? Surely he would not go and destroy the concepts from Aliens to Alien Resurrection. So while the process of how the Xeno went from Alien to what it is in all other Alien movies inc AVPs, while this process was taken out of Ridleys hand and one that he can only change by reinventing the franchise. He can have full control over the Question of where the Xeno came from and who was behind it, by the time Ridley finishes Prometheus i think he would rather answer the Xeno Origins in his own way, to the way he wants its Origins to be told. Rather than left as a Mystery that in future Fox could get someone to cash in on.

ok firstly were is this interview? If it was shot a while ago - the second part was not confirmed according to fox so I guess it kind of was stand alone - of course we know its not now...

I still do hope that the deacon plays a bigger role in Paradise. Why would they even bother showing it without elaborating on it?

If they dont elaborate it would shock me and make me think they are even worse at film making than at this point :O !

@BigDave. I completely agree! One of the things that i respect most about Ridley, is his originality and steering away from old grounds that have been trampled to death. I'm just going off comments that he, Lindelof and other crew members have made but their comments are also very conflicting, which doesn't help! He is getting on in years and who knows how long he has left? Surely he must realise that? and surely he must realise that now he as opened the Prometheus can of worms, that he really should crack on and complete it, before anyone else gets their grubby mits on it and turns it into a vietnam in outerspace story, or worse, something like Alien resurrection! But nobody really knows what the 10 11 12 thing is yet! All we can do, for the moment, is guess! I'm not saying that what i posted originaly is probable! I'm saying its [b]possible[/b].

Again when was this interview? Post a link...fox only knew there would be more than one part a few months ago...well officially that is :S .
