The Truth

@Watts-Spaihts. Nostromo001 has a good point. Maybe don't use Spaihts in your screen name and pretend to have insider info. If you truly are on Ridley's writing staff I doubt he would allow you to spill the beans on here or any sci-fi fan website for that matter. From an average movie-goer perspective a Prometheus backstory movie is too anti-climactic. It doesn't bother me personally but then I'm a cheap date as a geeky sci-fi Ridley movie fan. It just wouldn't sell too many movie tickets especially when Ridley has declared P2 to be called Paradise and that he's constructing a movie about that. He could go back on his word but then he would need to say it himself publicly.

Thanks Theseus, I'm not trying to knock the wind out of anyone's sails that wants to come up with their own story! I'm all for folks inventing new stories, but I just don't want anyone misleading others into accepting their story as gospel as we don't need more misinformation on the subject. To Benito Lopez Fondeur, by all means have at it and come up with new stories, just qualify your writings as your own so we all know the difference.

Wow, this has really got many people stirred up here and on Facebook.

Great idea BUT if Ridley Scott and Fox studios want bums on seats it's not a good idea to get too clever with the audience. Half of prometheus problem is that a lot of people didn't understand it and if p2 is succeed it needs to start including what started it off in the first place. Films are made to make money and Ridley Ccott does that rather well.

@hardboiled. That can be a clever lure... to confuse people so they have to go back and watch it again to figure it out. I admit, one sitting watching P wasn't enough for me to satisfy my curiousity. The first time I watched Jacob's Ladder I was highly puzzled and had to watch it a few times to make sense of it and how it all tied together. That's just me though as I have an inquisitive mind and don't get put off if I don't understand something. For some people it just turns them off and they don't care to investigate. They want a nice tidy, simplified movie with a happy ending like a sweet wine with no character. P is for sci-fi geeks like us and that's who Ridley, I think, is trying to reach...the wine connoisseurs of sci-fi movies.

Holy Cow Watts-Spaights wrong thread! My apologies. Nostromo- no apologies to you you're a Mr. Smartypants! But a likeable Mr. Smartypants.

Hi, to everyone :) Prometheus 2 Perfect Pitch is my idea alone and is a progresive story to have fun as a fan of Alien. I am not part of any studios but who wouldnt wish to have the opurtunity to help Ridley with P2 because of the horrible job Damon Lindelof did on the script. My P2 pitch witch I posted a day before Watts-Spaiths Truth has great comments from him and how his ideas or Ridleys were similar to witch he posted Truth thread. I'm posting my final pitch part IV today or tomorrow and if the writing team are looking for ideas and like mine then go for it. Spoilers in the last part I have Creator Gods and Xenos and their real relation to us and the real and scary truth that can never make it to Earth. I hope you enjoy in my final.

Thanks Benito! Btw, 'witch' is a cognate and the one you want is spelled 'which'. The problem with cognates, or words with different spellings but pronounced the same, is that spelling correction algorithms don't catch them since 'witch' is a real word so the spelling software with sees no problem with it. It would need to recognize context and grammar for that to happen and that is beyond any spelling correction application that I have seen, but it sure would be handy if anyone ever came up with it and worth a lot of money! Any takers out there? Anyway, Thanks for finely clarifying your information so people don't get mixed up. I was trained as a scientist and they made us provide references for any statement that was novel or bold enough to require it. This is especially necessary when publishing in journals or even when setting up powerpoint presentations. So naturally I learned to be very careful regarding sources. Whenever you deal with intellectual property and copyright infringements you learn to be especially careful so as to avoid lawsuits or stepping on someone else's ideas. Since, in this case the story is your own, you should be honored to make that known so no one else can take credit for your imaginative work! It also helps readers to see where writers get their ideas from.

Nostromo, I completely agree about Mr Cameron (and about qualifying writings, and stating clearly the IMO part) The only flashbacks I can tell you will most certainly happen, are those involving a young Peter Weyland. I'm sure this is why Guy Pearce was cast and then made up to look like the dried up, see-through, skin of an orange, old man in Prometheus. This, of course, is only My Humble Opinion. I'm sure we will learn more about young Peter, and I would be okay with some backstory, as long as P2 is a forward-moving film for the most part. Prometheus, I think was a story about Peter Weyland, and his sad quest for immortality, and his vanity. David was merely one of his tools in achieving this. (Though he was a very interesting, and possibly rebellious tool) I am convinced we will see more of Guy Pearce in this series, which is cool because he is a hell of an actor as well.

Anyways where is @Watts-Spaihts to discuss what we have posted here??? :p

You misspelled 'now' Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Just kidding my friend- I couldn't resist. I love all of you guys here (especially you, Nos01) This site is like a drug fix for me- I frequently take 'bathroom breaks' at work simply to come read new posts or ad my annoying opinions. In the case of this thread, I still don't see the Xeno as being God or God-like; I have always seen it quite to the contrary!! A self-preserving, perfect survivalist killing machine. There is no way this organism has ever created ANYTHING!! (Other than pure chaos) May the real God (whom we will hopefully meet in P2) bless you all!

Yep I know lol It's this stupid smart phone lol get it smart lol I type so fast and it corrects me or select words for me so fast that its more work lol

like censored? good question, who and why should this thread get cut up? we shall never find out. it's a dark universe, no real answers to so many questions.

Er, so does anyone know why this thread got REDACTED by the poster?
