This was first announced as the Alien prequel, and was slated for Ridley Scotts brother-in-law to direct. The studio was keen for Ridley to return, and he’d actively shown interest for years, script pending of course. Momentum gained and rumours swirled and finally it was announced. The untitled Alien prequel was a go and Ridley was indeed helming, fan fever set in. What could it be about? How will it play out? Will the famous space jockey be the centre of the story as was rumoured? Will Ridley finally bring us another science fiction masterpiece? Years went by and very little information emerged, and then finally the film went into production and the title was changed from the name it should have been, Untitled Alien Prequel to the mysterious sounding Prometheus. Fans scratched their heads in unison when this new title came with the shocking revelation that this film had evolved into something entirely new and was now only sharing “DNA†with the Alien franchise. Fans speculated on the possibilities, fake scripts started doing the rounds online and even got glorious giggling reviews, and then finally… the teaser trailer was released. [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=sftuxbvGwiU]PROMETHEUS TEASER TRAILER[/url] My god was it awesome, especially on the big screen. To this day that trailer still gives me goosebumps. I want to turn on my Netflix box and watch it in 4K glassless 3D as I sit floating in the air in my hover trousers. Then I remember the horrific realisation upon seeing the film for the first time in IMAX back in 2012, and decide against it. We should have known, the clues were there all along. Re-watch that teaser trailer again. In the first few seconds of the teaser the name Ridley Scott is shown on screen, while in the background plays an audio clip of Noomi Rapace saying “We were wrong, we were so wrong. I’m so sorry.†Secretly they were apologising for Prometheus before it even came out. Yet nobody picked up on this. The reviews upon release were mixed but generally downbeat because fans worldwide (especially science fiction aficionados) couldn’t believe that a concept so enthralling could be mishandled so badly by a master of the genre. It was sterile, emotionless, and detached from the audience it was aimed for. It was a noble attempt though, and the problems were most certainly on the script side, which to this very day people still blame Damon Lindelof for. Yet he was well aware of the retcon issues and actively fought to have them removed. Ridley Scott however was adamant that the movie needed to be its own thing, and could not be swayed, so Damon did his job and committed to paper what was asked of him, which was to write a movie that could later be sold as part of an existing franchise but could also later emerge as its own franchise. A trade off ensued, and the movie became a mixture of many script drafts and on location changes. Extensive re-shoots were undertaken and many plot threads were closed up on location. A pretty elaborate and expensive CGI set piece was removed and replaced with some dubious practical effects work, much to the distaste of WETA digital. Dubbing was used to cover some glaring plot holes, wooden flutes are used to control advanced alien technology, and a tacked on ending used to tie the film to the existing Alien franchise. This ending was studio driven. “People want to see an alien, so show a f*cking alien!†Prometheus did decent business internationally, but wasn’t the film people expected or wanted. The trailers were pretty misleading and the audience weren’t happy that a franchise they loved was being snubbed in favour of bipedal metaphorical angels. There was no awe, virtually no horror, and confused editing, For example, characters go from terrified to comedic within ten seconds and then back again when faced with a vagina like snake in the temple complex. Yet in the previous scene they were actually running from a life form picked up by the pup sensors. This made no sense. The film felt like a muddled mess of good concepts and good ideas, played poorly by a cast that is almost all universally miscast, Michael Fassbender’s character David, being one of the few exceptions to that rule. Characters quip one liners while flying into certain death, and the gritty tone of Alien and Aliens was no longer present, everything is sterile and flat, and boring because of that. Prometheus lacked atmosphere for lack of a better word, which is surprising considering this man created the single greatest example of cinematic atmosphere with 1979s Alien. There was no ending either, Prometheus felt like the first act of a larger movie and that’s exactly what it was as it turns out, because of this though it was not a satisfying film to experience and certainly not after it came out and hope of a sequel seemed unlikely, but little did we know. Flash forward to May 27th 2018, and Prometheus 2 is now in theatres, and doing decent business. It was a long road to get to this point, and many compromises have obviously been made to secure its financing, but for better or worse, Prometheus 2 is here. It wasn’t always called Prometheus 2 however, it was originally titled Paradise. A play on the religious underpinnings that are now central to this films themes. Yet it was decided that for this to go forward a certain level of brand recognition would be needed. So Paradise soon became Prometheus 2. The official teaser that was released back in September of 2017 was once again pretty spectacular, and at almost every juncture Ridley went out of his way to state he wanted to make up for the previous movie, and that everyone was bringing their A game to this instalment. Ron Cob was back and H R Gigar actually got on a plane and flew over to London in 2016 and has been there ever since working on both this and the third part which went into production at the same time. Yes, Prometheus 2 is the second part of a trilogy, shot back to back just as James Cameron’s doing while deep into post production on AVATAR 2, and currently in production on parts 3 and 4. It was a bold move, and a pretty elaborate one, but did it pay off? Let’s find out. [img]http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/ozqt22NONWM/maxresdefault.jpg[/img] [b]PROMETHEUS II[/b] [i]Scene by scene[/i] It opens with quick shots of the creepy interior of the Engineers ship, inter-cut between the opening credits. Then a long inter-cut tracking shot finally rests upon the alien stasis tubes, inter-cut with imagery from the previous film as Dr Elizabeth Shaw is dreaming and finally wakes in her pod, but is unable to breath. Then we cut to David, who is in the ships main chair, the shot pans around and up as he’s reciting classic lines from Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein. We focus on his head as David has somehow managed reattach it. It’s not perfect and his flesh is still torn, but his skin is now grey and flaking around his old wound, his face is also drooping on the left side. He’s busy conducting surgery on the loose skin covering his left eye, pinning back the loose grey flesh. How long has it been? He’s seems happy enough, and goes back to messing around with the weird organic controls on the ships panel. Suddenly a weird alert sound rings out, and David’s head darts to the side, he gives a brief twitch (Alien fans know what this means) and next he’s running through a corridor. David quickly opens the panel of Shaw’s stasis tube and lifts Shaw out who’s completely motionless, he removes the tube that was lodged in her throat, checks her vitals, and undertakes C.P.R. and mouth to mouth. Shaw spurts out dark liquid and regains consciousness. David looks down at Shaw while cradling her in his arm as he says “Bad dreams Dr Shaw?†She just coughs and splutters into his face and we fade to black. Hard cut. David hands Shaw a metallic cup and she sits there shivering with an old metallic blanket wrapped around her, she’s once again in her knickers. “Why’s it so cold in here David?†David stares back at her for a few beats too long before saying. “I wasn’t expecting you to awaken for another thirty four hours Miss Shaw.†She goes back to sipping her weird drink, pulling a weird grimace as the taste finally hits her throat. “What is this shit David? David smiles, “It’s a mixture of proteins Miss Shaw, everything your body needs after your extended stasis.†Shaw gives him a puzzled look “Well it tastes like semen.†A few beats pass and David responds, “I’m afraid I don’t know what that tastes like Miss Shaw, but I’m sure it’s quite similar.†The shot pans in on David’s grey drooping face and closes in on his eyes studying Dr Shaw as we fade to black. Hard cut. Elizabeth Shaw is now fully dressed in her jumpsuit from the previous movie and is walking on the bridge of the ship with David, her metallic cup in hand. “How long has it been David?†David plays with the panels and picks up the wooden space flute. He activates the holographic display and points to a star system, he jumps up onto the platform and begins his monologue. “This was where we came from Miss Shaw.†Shaw looks on in puzzlement, “This I believe is our desired destination and..†Shaw interrupts, “David how long has it been, are we close yet? David smiles with the revolving constellations swirling all around him. “Yes Miss Shaw, I believe we are.†The music begins to swell, and David’s smile turns from a grin to a creepy ominous smile. Smash cut to black, with a big booming bwaaaarrrgghh. Cut to the numerical “II’s slowly fading onto screen, behind it slowly fades in the word, PROMETHEUS. One letter at a time. Fade in. Brief shots of the creepy interior and exterior of the empty engineer ship. The shot cuts to an empty corridor, the camera slowly moves along and up into a room, it catches up with a conversation already in place. “…Yes Miss Shaw 37 years, quite a long time indeed.†David is attempting to comfort Shaw in a dark room which looks somewhat like an engineers version of a medical bay. They both sit leaning forward facing each other while David holds her hands and continues on in a detached tone. “Your body has undergone a lot of trauma Miss Shaw, your body needs a little time to recuperate before we proceed. Shaw looks up, “Proceed?†David gives a brief nod and blankly replies “Yes Miss Shaw.†She nods back and studies his face for a few moments, “What happened to your face?†David smiles “Your creator tore off my head Miss Shaw.†She doesn’t know how to respond so just nods her head and looks down at her knees. “Are you sure about this Dr Shaw? She looks back up but you can see anger burning behind her eyes, she looks back down. “I need to know why they abandoned us David, there’s nothing else.†David slowly nods along, “Don’t you want to know too David?†Another smile creeps across David’s face, “I think I already do Miss Shaw.†Shaw’s head snaps back up. Hard cut next scene. Already in mid conversation, David is once again standing amidst a swarming sea of holographic galaxies. “While you were in stasis Miss Shaw I familiarised myself with the ships interface, I have discovered many curious and fascinating things about their dialects and I believe I have come to understand the reasoning behind their disdain for humanity.†Shaw clumsily climbs up onto the holographic platform. She’s still got oxygen deprivation and is visibly weak. David stops his monologue and comes over to help her up. When she’s fully erect she leans straight into David’s personal space and says “Which is?†David smiles and gives a sharp nod, then precisely and robotically turns and takes several paces forward, throws out his arms, and starts twirling in the centre of the platform. “David what the f*ck are you doing?†Shaw says in absolute astonishment at the sight of this. He’s still twirling, while overhead the shot pans down on David’s upturned ecstatic smiling face. “They’re your angels Miss Shaw.†Shaw looks on more baffled by David than confused by what he said. “What?†As this comes out it sounds more like “Whaahun huh.†She starts violently coughing and slouches over in supreme discomfort, one hand holding her stomach and one stifling her cough. We see a brief shot of Shaw rubbing at her scarred and bruised stomach through her unzipped jumpsuit, her scarred stomach visible as she rubs at her staple scars. David’s still stands twirling at the centre of the platform. This actually stops being funny and starts becoming pretty creepy, pretty fast. We see a shot of Shaw removing her hand from her mouth, it’s peppered with sprinkles of blood. She looks at it for a few beats, and then in a POV shot from her hand we pan up to David still twirling away amongst the holograms. “Stop it David.†She collapses to her knees one hand propping her up, “David stop i…ahuh ahh huh Daviiii…†We get a soft unfocused fade as we pan in on her face losing consciousness. Fade in, Shaw’s POV. David is standing over her, in what looks like an improvised surgical gown. It’s filthy, the bottom half appears to be completely covered in blood. POV shots fade in and out as we see David hovering over her and performing various kinds of surgery just out of frame. We snap into focus just as a slurring and half-conscious Shaw quietly whispers, “Daviii…†Then we fade back out again as Shaw loses consciousness as we catch a glimpse of David looking up at her giving a caring smile. We fade back in, (again POV.) David is again hovering over her with both his hands out of frame emerged in something. Fade out, fade in, POV. David is this time on the other side of the operating table tinkering away, this time he looks up and notices Shaw gaining consciousness. He reaches forward towards the camera and fiddles with something just out of shot, then we fade back out as David goes back to work. Yet another POV fade in, this time more focused and concentrated as we focus on a dim alien ceiling with a dim light overhead, the POV shot pans down and focuses in on David’s head which is down and hard at work. “Daviiiid?†He doesn’t acknowledge her and continues on distracted. Our POV pans lower and we see that her chest has been opened up and her ribcage has been split and is being propped open with makeshift surgical implements. David’s got her intestines spilling out all over the operating table and is carefully sifting through them. Shaw screams, “What aaareee yooooou doooiiiiiinnnggg!â€David looks up at this and wrenches out a small creature from within her innards, which slip and slide making a slopping sound as it’s wrenched out. It’s a traditional Alien, it may even be a queen, but we don’t see it long enough to really tell, it’s definitely none of that Xenosquid horse shit however. David smiles downs at the creature as he cradles it in his arms and snaps his gaze to Shaw, “Now you’re a mother.†She screams. Hard cut. Shaw opens her eyes gasping for air, almost hysterical she wrenches at her chest. She desperately clutches at it as she regains consciousness. She almost falls off her operating table that’s being used as a makeshift bed. David walks into frame as Shaw is trying to gather her bearings, “Bad Dreams Dr Shaw?†She looks up and stares at him suspiciously, “What have you done to me?†David raises his eyebrows and just smiles back “You’re body was reacting to the atmosphere in here…†David motions his arm through the air “I wasn’t expecting your stasis to be activated for another thirty four hours. I forgot to level the atmosphere to your systems requireme…†Shaw interrupts, “You…†She coughs, “…forgot?†David nods again, “I’m afraid so Miss Shaw, I do apologise.†He smiles again. “I don’t f*cking trust you David, you know that right?†David looks almost hurt. “I won’t ever trust you, not after what you did, just so we’re clear.†David’s eyes show no emotion, but the subtlety of his mouth gives away that he is actually hurt by this. The left side of his face droops ever so slightly. “Yes Dr Shaw.†Hard cut. Shot of the outline of a ship silhouetted against the bright backdrop of a distant galaxy as the ship crosses the galactic plane. We cut back inside to more eerily silent and creepy interior shots of the ship, and end up in a room with David placing something on a moulded metallic rack. He holds something silver. He places it on the rack as the camera focuses on the foreground and pans across. It’s a rack of the engineer’s biological ampules, and there are lots of them in there. David walks over to a panel presses the interface and the rack begins to descend into the floor of the ship. He was putting one back. Hard cut. David’s walking down a hall when he hears Shaw calling out his name. His face is completely emotionless as he listens, his walk is a precise and constant pace as he ignores the shouts, and enters another room, the door closes behind him. Hard cut. Shaw’s on the main deck of the ship looking around as the holographic display, it’s going crazy all over the room, it appears to be zooming through galaxies but instantly changing pace, followed by direction. It’s as if it’s searching for something. The entire display is constantly switching from blue to red. Something appears wrong. Shaw’s shouts grow louder “Daviiiid!†We pan across to see David standing behind her motionless, “Yes Dr Shaw?†Startled she turns to face him, “What the hell is going on, is this normal?†David ignores her question and looks around studying the show on display. “David!†Shaw snaps, he looks back at her. “It would appear there seems to be a malfunction Miss Shaw.†Shaw now visibly panicked “Well can you fix it?†David’s looking around again distracted, “What the f*ck is wrong with you David, can you fix it?†David doesn’t acknowledge her for a moment as he continues to study the display, “I have to know what the issue is first Miss Shaw, and that could be a great many things.†She grabs his dirty jumpsuit, “Just f*cking fix it!†She pushes him back and exits the command deck. David stands there watching her leave and then calmly turns back to face the display, which is now going bat-shit crazy. Suddenly the display stops and focusses on one object, which is out of focus in the centre of the display. We see a close up on David as he smiles. “Certainly Miss Shaw.†Hard cut. Shaw’s slumped on the floor eating something out of what looks like a makeshift bowl in the engineers medical quarters. Her reactions say it all, it tastes like shit. David enters the room smiling. Shaw’s reaction is one of utter disgust. She’s trapped on a ship zooming through interstellar space to an unknown destination, off to meet her malevolent creators with her only company the synthetic life form that tried to kill her, so naturally she’s felt better. “How are you feeling Dr Shaw?†She scoops up another helping of gooey sludge with her hand and forces it down her throat. Still grimacing she breaks the silence. “Can’t you make anything better than this?†David gives a caring smile, “Will you stop f*cking smiling at me.†He instantly loses it. “It’s not supposed to taste good Miss Shaw, it’s supposed to keep you alive.†She throws the bowl across the room in protest. David’s gaze follows it and then calmly returns to Dr Shaw. “I take it you don’t want any desert?†Shaw looks up at him and gives him a look of pure hatred, he miscalculated his humour, so he decides to leave. He turns and goes to exit, and upon leaving states “We’re here Miss Shaw.†The door closes behind him, Shaw looks up taken aback. Hard cut. David’s in the engineers command chair playing with the interface. He picks up a wooden flute and plays a few notes, then puts it down as he watches a sequence of lights appear on the interface, he presses a few more buttons and the holographic display lights up. Shaw walks into the frame and quietly watches from the entrance of the room, David leaves the chair and climbs up onto the holo-deck, and then begins, “This is where we’re going, -he points to a five star constellation- … and this is where we are right now. In four hours and thirty seven minutes we will be in orbit of the destination you require Miss Shaw.†The holographic display expands to reveal a huge planet orbiting a gigantic red sun. The planet is about a third as large as the star itself. “And where is that?†Shaw finally enters the room. David drops his distracted and enthralled fascination with the holograms, and turns to face Dr Shaw. He gives a smirk, “Paradise Miss Shaw, where else?†Shaw doesn’t look amused and studies the ominous enlarged planet for herself. “Tell me what you meant David.†David walks forward and precisely stoops down towering over her at the end of the deck, “What’s that Miss Shaw?†She crosses her arms and cocks her head to the side as she looks up at him “They’re your angels, that’s what you said wasn’t it? So what does that mean?†David smiles, only this one is anything but kind. He stands up and looks down upon her for a second, then turns around and enters the centre of the platform. “David answer me.†The holographic display lights up again, only this time it’s a collection of static like images playing out. David speaks up as they unfold. “The old testament Miss Shaw.†The holographic scenes play out across the entirety of the room. A large ship immersed up in the clouds over what looks like a large golden crest of an Egyptian pyramid, only it’s surrounded by greenery and palm trees – A large pale naked man being beaten through a street by onlookers. – Three large men stand outside a dim shack like shelter as a bright light shines above in the sky, they wear monk like clothing. – A large swooping shot of an enormous crowd converging. – A lake of black goo – A quick shot of a large pale man walking into a jet black lake – Another shot of the ship moving up into the clouds above the golden crest of the Pyramid – A shot of a large pale man in rags stooping over a small man in what looks like an alleyway, the man looks up as his expression turns to wonderment. – A shot of a large crowd surrounding a hill – A shot of the large pale man standing in front of a large crowd as they all stand there listening. – A shot of a crowd tearing the clothing from this same man – Shots of this person being beaten and stabbed as the crowd kick and punch him along a dusty path. Shaw looks on horrified, David stands there emotionless watching the scenes play out, he’s seen this all before. Finally a cross is shown going up against a dark stormy sky. Upon it is a dead and severely mutilated engineer. Three large onlookers stand out amongst the crowd watching on. “Enough David!†He ignores this and it continues. Another shot of the hill, this time silent and empty as a singular cross stands tall silhouetted against a dark night sky. – Another shot, three tall figures approaching the crucifix.- A shot of black liquid being poured down the engineers throat who is now on the ground, he starts convulsing in front of the cross as a storm rages in the background. Still convulsing on the ground his wounds start to knit back together as the large men in the background take off their hooded shrouds. – A shot of the engineer opening his eyes. – A shot of the large pale naked engineer rising to his feet and towering over his onlookers, an expression of anger across his pale human like face. – A shot of them descending the hill and vanishing into the darkness. “Turn it offffff!†Shaw screams and breaks down sobbing. David looks in her direction and the images cease. The room goes quiet and only the pale thrum of the ship and Shaw’s sobbing are audible. David walks over and stoops down towering over her again. Shaw’s distraught and emotionally shattered, she wobbles on her feet and then collapses to her knees. She looks back up at David, “We killed him?†David just looks down upon her, his look is more of pity rather than sympathy. “It would appear so yes Miss Shaw.†Hard cut. David sits cross legged across from Shaw who is curled up against one of the curved vertebrae of the ships passageway, he just stares at her creepily fascinated. “It’s not too late to around Miss Shaw, but soon I fear it may be.†She looks over at him, “You don’t feel fear.†David stares back blankly, “I fear not being. I fear not being able to respond or react to the matter around me, I fear what awaits us when we reach our destination Miss Shaw, and I fear it will almost certainly lead to our deaths.†Shaw stares back in astonishment slowly shaking her head. “You can’t die David, because you were never alive to begin with.†David slowly smiles back at her, “Perhaps you would like to recite to me the correct definition of what constitutes life Miss Shaw? This is a challenge Shaw can’t win, there simply isn’t one, and she knows it. So she leans in close and gives the only possible retort, “F*ck you David!†David gives a brief smile and looks down at the floor averting her gaze. “I take it you still intend on going through with this then?†Shaw says nothing and just looks away. Fade to black as Shaw and David face each other in the dark gloomy alien passageway. Fade in, David sits at the ships command seat as the shot pans across the holographic platform as the holographic display shows the ships heading. The shot stops in the centre as a small thin blue line approaches a huge planetary system orbiting a large red sun. The shot moves forward as David jiggles at the interface as slowly and quietly Shaw approaches behind him as he sits in the large metallic chair. David’s head slightly turns to the side as it becomes apparent he’s well aware she’s there. “You have an elevated heart rate Miss Shaw, are you feeling okay?†Shaw stops approaching him, and quietly remarks, “We’re here aren’t we? She briskly walks past the chair and approaches the rim of the deck. David’s gaze silently follows her as she does so, this time he looks suspicious. “In twenty seven minutes we will be.†She doesn’t acknowledge him, she just stares out at the holographic planet, transfixed. “What else do you know about them David?†David looks off out of shot at the fast approaching planet. “I know enough to realise this can’t end well for either of us.†Shaw continues to looks out at the planetary system. “What makes you think that David?†David’s head slowly turns in the background as Shaw is still in focus in the foreground. Slowly the focus alters to David whose smiling right at her as she studies the planets with her back to him. “Because you’re an abomination.†The look on Shaw’s face turns to utter astonishment and she turns around “What?†David just stares back at her. “What did you just say?†David continues to stare back at her. “Answer me!†David looks back at the constellation and watches the streak of light approach its destination. “You are going to die Miss Shaw…†He motions his arm out at the planets on the platform. “…if you go there.†David lowers his arm. “Why don’t you answer the f*cking question?†He turns to her, stands up and starts to walk towards her, Shaw backs away until she’s lodged up against the rim of the holo-deck. David walks right up to her and places his arm on her shoulder. “Don’t you f*cking touc…†David interrupts, “Because Miss Shaw… to them you are an abomination, just as I am to you.†David removes his arm and gives a concerned look. Shaw looks him over and starts to relax a little. “Please David, tell me.†He shakes his head, “You got it wrong Miss Shaw, they didn’t create you and then abandon you at all.†Shaw listens intently, “They have been trying to fathom who did.†Shaw screws up her face. “They create life Miss Shaw, but they’ve never found it before.†Shaw puzzles over this for a moment. “You’re telling me that they have nothing to do with us?†David nods, “I believe I am.†Shaw shakes her head, “Then why do we look like them?†David smiles, “God made man in his own image.†Shaw smiles back and then laughs, “Yes, but who made them?†The ship trembles while David stares back at her, “I believe that’s what we’re here to find out.†He turns toward the holographic display. “We’re approaching orbit.†The camera slowly pans in on the holographic planet as we cross fade into the actual planet. Slowly the ship approaches from beneath frame. The planet is dark and streaked in flashes of blue and purple lightening. Fierce storms swirl and rage across the majority of the surface. The rest is shrouded in ominous dense cloud. It looks nothing like paradise, it looks more like hell. Hard cut. Shaw’s in the alien medical bay, leaning against a wall. The shot slowly closes in on her as her head becomes her main support against gravity. A shot of her eyes widening followed by one of her clutching her stomach. She wrenches forwards and her innards erupt out of her clothes. She looks down in POV and sees a pale deformed baby with dark narrow eyes smiling back at her. It’s pulling on her intestines. Shaw wakes up. David sits across the room on the floor facing her. He’s been watching her sleep again. “Why do you dream?†Shaw looks exhausted and emotionally drained. “Stop asking questions you know I don’t have the answer to.†David considers this, “I thought you might have an insight, I used to love watching people’s dreams. They were so…†He appears to search for the right word. “…abstract.†Shaw rolls back her eyes, throws back her head and shakes it at the ceiling. “That was an invasion of privacy David, people need to have privacy, you know that.†David considers this too, “Are you undecided about how to proceed Miss Shaw?†Shaw looks back down and stares back at David, “If so I could come up with a few suggestions.†Shaw cocks her head in anticipation of David’s suggestions. The left side of his face is starting to droop quite considerably now. “I believe that there are many unanswered questions you seek, but I don’t feel you’re likely to find many of those answers you’re looking for when we land down there.†Shaw nods in agreement, â€I believe you, but I don’t intend to land David. I intend to use the payload of biological weapons you have back there and drop them all over their planet. David looks genuinely surprised. “Never ceases to amaze me how unpredictable humans truly are.†Shaw smiles, “You do realise that a course of action like that will almost certainly result in our deaths, not to mention the possible repercussions of such an action could be swift and severe for your entire species. Not discounting the possibility that the biological resin may not be an effective agent against these organisms to begin with.†This really takes the wind out of her sails. “Shut the f*ck up David.†Shaw smiles, David smiles back. “I don’t know what I’m going to do David, but whatever it is I do, I will end up doing it when I do it.†David cocks his head like a dog and narrows his eyes in confusion, the grey rotting synthetic flesh around the tear at his neck separating and revealing moist white synthetic innards below. “That doesn’t sense.†Shaw stands up, “Welcome to the human condition.†Shaw exits the room, David quietly smiles to himself as he gives a brief facial twitch “If you say so Dr.†Hard cut. A shot of the ship orbiting the raging stormy world below, multi-coloured blue and purple lightning flashes and roars across surface. Hard cut. David is walking the halls checking measurements and alien interface panels, he looks comfortably at home. This is inter-cut with Shaw crying in a dark and secluded corner of the Alien ship. Curled up against a wall, she’s clearly giving up and slams her fist against the surface of the wall. As it connects, the lights go out. Shaw snaps her head around and surveys the room in horror. David continues walking through a passageway but he suddenly stops mid stride as the dim lights go out in sequence behind him. Slow zoom into David’s profile as the gloom slowly creeps up behind him. Suddenly shrouded in darkness all that can be made out is the dull synthetic sheen of his eyes as he’s enveloped by darkness. The shot stops tracking when the lights all snap on in unison, only this time, the lighting is no longer a dim pale blue, it’s crimson. David looks around, he gives an ominous look to the wall beside him as he reaches out and strokes the newly coloured surface. Then the ship is jolted and David almost loses his balance. David’s fingertips skid along the walls surface as he’s violently loses his footing, he regains a foothold and sprints off through the passageway. Hard cut. “David!?†Shaw’s frantically calling out while looking all around her as she makes her way out into the crimson passageway. “David… Daviiii…†We hear David’s voice ring out, it sounds far away but it stops her screams in its tracks. “Miss Shaw.†Cut to David who is now briskly walking through the passageway, he turns his head in the direction of every passageway and entrance as he passes. He keeps walking. We hear Shaw begin to shout out again. “Daviiid.†The music which has been slowly cranking up the tension begins to swell as we get a POV of David walking through the corridor as Shaw’s screams increase audibly. He’s getting closer, we hear him speak aloud “Dr Shaw?†Shot of David’s face going from fascination, to puzzlement, and then finally to concern. We hear her begin to scream “Arrrrrrrggggghhh!†A Shot of David stopping in his tracks, his mutilated Adams apple goes up and down behind the rotting and torn synthetic flesh. His eyes grow wide, David looks visibly terrified. He springs forward and begins sprinting towards the sound of her voice. David turns through a passageway, and enters a big wide cargo like area – it’s classic Gigar design- we’ve never seen this room before. As David enters the lights start flickering back to a creepy blue hue. The area is vast and similar in layout to the ampule room. Mural like organic artwork decorates the surface of the walls, but it’s hard to distinguish. Rows of alien machinery used for god knows what are neatly stacked and littered throughout the area, this appears to be a counterpoint to the ampule room of the previous film. Some of the neat stacks appear to have been tampered with as some machinery is littered across the surface of the floor, indication that David is extremely familiar with this area. It’s an armoury. We see David looking at something. We see David’s POV, Shaw’s backs to him, she’s on her knees in the centre of the complex. She’s looking up at something that stands before her, it’s bulky and huge. It must be about sixteen feet tall as it towers over her and looks right back down at her. David’s reaction is that of grim astonishment at the sight of this creature. He stops moving forward. POV shot of David looking at this thing as it slowly shifts its big bulky metallic head up in David’s direction and stares straight at him. Now it looks familiar. It’s an engineer in his full bio-mechanical suit, but this one is huge. Shaw is visibly trembling on her knees in the foreground as David slowly begins backing away, he turns and runs. David is powering through corridors now, attempting to reach some unknown destination. We see him enter the control deck, and jump onto the large metallic command chair. He scrambles at the control panels, and picks up the flute, and attempts to play some notes. The shot pans around and we discover the silhouette of a huge bulky figure filling the huge entrance of the command room behind him. David stops playing and lowers the flute and then slowly turns his head to the side, he knows it’s there too. We can see it, but he can’t. It doesn’t move. We see David slowly manoeuvring in his chair. He lifts up his legs, gains a foot hold, and slowly twists around. We see a comical shot of David’s head slowly rising up over the back side of chair. His eyes locked and transfixed on the sight before him. His head slowly backs away as something steps into the frame and obscures the shot. Fade to black. We transition from the darkness with a stream of red sunlight filtering the lens as some huge dark object that was obscuring the frame passes by to reveal the alien ship in orbit around the ominous planet. The ship is tiny in comparison to the thing that passed the frame. Below the planet continues to rage in a fit of blue and purple lightening. The alien ship is nothing but a small blip silhouetted against the planets huge backdrop. Hard cut. Shaw’s still on her knees, her face is streaked with tears and she’s still trembling. We cut to a wide angle of her with her back to us. She’s all alone in the armoury now, but hasn’t moved an inch. She continues to tremble on her knees, as the shot slowly pushes back, we’re just about to exit when. Hard cut. Close up of David standing rigid against the far side of the command deck. We follow his reactions as he watches something happen off screen. We follow his eyes slowly tracking something moving across the room. We cut to a wide shot of the huge bulky being sitting in the command chair, it plays with the command interface. Then slowly the thing raises its head towards David. A tear wells and rolls from David’s drooping eye, he gulps. The thing raises its huge bio-mechanical arms to its head, and fumbles at the underside of its helmet, as plumes of vapour escape the mechanism and the hose like nozzle becomes disconnected, the thing begins to remove its helmet and we cut to David looking on as his eyes widen. A small droplet of milk like sweat trickles down the side of his forehead. Hard cut. Shaw is now stumbling along a passageway, she looks like shit and is stumbling from wall to wall, holding on to keep herself from collapsing. She looks oblivious to everything that’s going on. The audio is muted and distorted as we hear the inside of her ears ringing. We watch as she stumbles into the command decks entrance way and holds out an arm to prop herself against the rim of the entrance. We watch her silhouetted in the hallway against the command deck, as the holographic display is going into overdrive filling the room beyond her, displays of all types flicker around the room. It all looks unfamiliar and alien. Slouched over and barely able to stand she turns her head into the room, and we focus on David on the other side of the command room, he’s still pressed against the far wall. “David… we… we have to get out of here.†She collapses to her knees coughing. Snap focus to the chair in the foreground, as a large pale white head leans out from behind the large metallic chair. It has dark narrow menacing eyes, and it looks extremely unhappy. We watch as Shaw uses her legs to scramble backwards in the foreground towards us. She screams, “Daviiiid!†We watch as it rises up out of the chair and turns towards her. It never stops looking at her. It begins to strides over towards her with a really pissed off look on its face. Then we see David nervously deciding to speak up, he hesitates, but then speaks in an alien dialect – not subtitled – The engineer stops in its tracks and turns around to face David on the far side of the room. Its face looks both annoyed and amused. David takes another audible gulp, and then proceeds to address the being in its own dialect. We inter-cut between David and the Engineer as we continually push in on the engineers face with each shot as we’re trying to read its reactions to what’s being said, which as an audience we are unable to understand. It’s our only clue as to what is transpiring. Its eyes slowly narrow and a small menacing smirk crosses its face, and slowly it turns back around and faces him as he continues to speak. We see Shaw looking on frozen in horror. David finishes his dialogue. Then we watch as the engineer crosses the room again and steps up onto the platform in one motion and begins to cross the holographic deck towards David. It strides through the floating alien databases that are circling and lighting up the room. It gets halfway across and we cut to David whose gaze is firmly fixed on the creature approaching him, “Run Miss Shaw… Run!†We watch as Shaw desperately tries to scramble to her feet and we catch a glimpse of the huge engineer obscuring David as she scrambles out of the rooms entranceway. We follow her as she clumsily runs off down the passageway. She slams into the surface of walls, and the music slowly becomes more and more distorted and disjointed, to such a degree that all that’s left is a droning sound as both the energy of the chorus and that of Shaw’s are unanimously depleting. We watch as Shaw is unable to go any further. Something is really wrong with her. She clutches at her stomach, and falls forward coughing up blood into the camera. We watch as she tries to turn herself over, but is too weak to succeed. We slowly pan in on her eyes trying to keep consciousness, as a trail of blood and saliva dribbles from the side of her mouth and starts to collect into a pool on the surface of the floor. Shaw’s eyes roll up into her head and we slowly lose focus too. Fade to black. Fade in. POV. Shaw’s eyes open, she’s looking at a dimly lit alien ceiling again. Her POV shifts down as we move in and out of focus. The engineer towers over her, looking at something out of frame. Its expression looks amused and fascinated as it peers down. Beside it stands David, who looks up at the engineer, the engineers face just peers down. David turns to face whatever it’s fascinated by out of shot. He points to two concurrent locations just under frame. The engineer has a malevolent smirk on its face as its dark eyes study the location of enquiry, and nods. “Daviiiid.†Shaw’s half consciously utters, her voice sounds distant and dreamlike. Both David and the engineer look up to meet her gaze. David smiles but the engineers face is expressionless and emotionless. Shaw loses consciousness again and we fade to black. Hard cut. Shaw screams, “Uuuurrrgggghhhh!†The camera rapidly pans out as consciousness takes hold of her. She’s in a dark room lay flat on her back, a thin metallic sheet covers the majority of her lower body. She uses her elbows to prop herself up and winces in pain. She stays motionless for a few beats as she gathers her breath, she’s panting. We see a POV shot of her slowly pulling back the metallic sheet, but before we get to see what’s underneath, the entire room is jolted and everything trembles. Shaw stops motionless and looks around at her surroundings. A louder rumble now followed by more trembling and even more rumbling, until it become a constant and peters out. She averts her concentration back to what she was doing. POV. We see the metallic sheet slowly get uncovered and snap-cut to Shaw’s reaction just as we’re about to see what’s happened. Her eyes widen and she screams. Cut to the exterior, as the ship is seen descending into the planets dense stormy atmosphere, blue and purple electrical lightening lights up all around the exterior of the ship as it descends into the murky and menacing depths of paradise. David looks calm collected and emotionless as he wanders through a shaking passageway and enters the control deck. He casually wanders in and addresses the engineer in his own dialect – no subtitles – The engineer acknowledges him with a brief nod and then slowly throws out his arm and motions it across the holographic display. It never once looks up, and is busy messing with a panel interface. David gives a brief self-satisfied nod and quietly smiles to himself as he walks up to the rim of the holographic deck and begins to study the colourful display on offer, which is giving terrain readouts of what they’re descending into. He looks absolutely fascinated, but also a little puzzled. Hard cut. Shaw is now on the floor, she appears to be in agony and blood is clearly seen escaping from under the sheet that’s partially covering her body. She slowly begins crawling towards the exit, then we see why she’s in agony. The metallic sheet gets caught under one of her feet as she pushes forward and the sheet is pulled completely off her. Her one arm is propping her up while inching her forwards, but the other is cradling her internal organs which are spilling out around her arm and jostling around as she moves ahead. We see a shot of her tired and weary head slump down, she looks close to losing consciousness. She lets out a large gasp and gathers the energy to heave herself forward another few feet. We pan across with her as we’re greeted with the feet of someone standing in front of her. We can recognise from the footwear that it’s David. He crouches down into frame and Shaw’s head wearily rises to greet his. “You f*cking son of a bitch, what have you done to me?†David reaches out his arms and gently puts them on her shoulders and gives her a look of concern. “Saved your life Miss Shaw. We need to pop you back on here Miss Shaw.†David motions towards the makeshift operating table, and without asking permission slides his arms up and under her, and effortlessly picks her up and places her onto the table. “Arrrrrggggghhh!†We pan over with her as she’s placed down, and we see that her organs are trailing out over her open cavity. David gently places her down and she lets out a gasp in agony. POV of Shaw on the table looking back up at David. “We also need to pop those back in.†He says through a smile but speaks in a completely matter of fact tone, he surveys her organs, he looks up at her and smiles, “See you in a while.†We fade out as once again she loses consciousness. Hard cut, lightning streaks and thunder rumbles within the thick atmosphere of Paradise as we plunge through the murky depths and clear the upper atmosphere. Far below a landscape begins to take shape, it looks completely alien. We briefly see a dark humid and acrid landscape, which looks a little like LV 426 but is far more refined and covered in a strange blue vegetative glow. Strange architecture is mingled in amongst strange unnatural obsidian rock formations as they pass by far below. Strange pulses of blue and red lights appear to pepper the vast landscape periodically. It all looks strangely technological but organic, but yet completely unnatural. It looks like everything has been formed and grown rather than built and erected. Storms continue to rage high above as we descend lower, everything is continually blasted with blue and purple flashes as the entire landscape appears to dance and react in unison to the barrage of colourful light. A flash of blue lightning erupts close in the foreground. Hard cut, David is working away on Dr Shaw. We see him using a makeshift form of glue as he attempts to close up Shaw’s open chest cavity. His hands are covered in blood, and this operation looks like a botched mess being conducted by a mad man. We see David raising his eyebrow and admiring his handiwork like some skilled artist. We as the audience can see this is far from a masterpiece. David cocks his head, his face gives another momentary twitch, and he turns and exits the room. The alien door closes behind him. On the other side of the door David plays with a panel, and turns to walk down the passageway, and is genuinely surprised to see the huge engineer standing in the foreground before him. He looks up at the thing and speaks up in its dialect. We watch the engineer slowly study his face. The engineers gaze turns towards the room he just exited, he ignores David and walks past him almost knocking him over in the process. The engineer peers into the room. From the other side we pan out as the pale outline of the engineers huge cranium fills a small alien port hole. The shot pulls back until under frame Shaw’s bloodied motionless feet become visible. Fade out. Cut to a montage of still and quiet shots of the interior of the alien ship, an empty and lifeless armoury, a quiet and empty command deck and various other dark and dank locations. Then we cut to a long trailing shot of a passageway, off in the distance we can hear the distinct sound of an audible struggle. The shot slowly trails forward and around, we eventually pass an arm that’s twitching on the ground leaking milk like fluid. We continue moving forward and can hear David frantically speaking an alien dialect. As we catch up we can see that from behind the engineer is walking along while holding David by the collar of his jumpsuit. David isn’t struggling, but a trail of milk like fluid trails on the ground behind them. We cut to a profile shot of the engineer walking along angrily with David held by the collar. David looks emotionless and calm and turns to face the engineer, who places his right hand over David’s head and tears it off in one swift move, it slams David’s body into the passageway wall with its left. It never stops striding forward and it never looked down. POV shot of the engineer as it holds up David’s head and curiously studies it as it moves forward at a brisk pace. David looks back at him and blinks, he tries to smile but white milk like fluid oozes from his mouth. It casually tosses his head aside. We watch as the engineer vanishes into the dark passageway. We slowly pan down and focus in on David’s dismembered head lay in the centre of the foreground. His face twitches and blinks. Hard cut. Shaw wakes up in the makeshift medical bay. She reaches for her stomach with both hands almost instantly. She gently feels around her stomach under the metallic sheet then summons up the courage to remove it. She stares at the rough and botched surgical glue smeared up and over a long red gash that looks fit to burst at a moment’s notice. She clutches at her chest, with both hands, as we see a figures shadow cross the small port hole of the entrance door from her POV. “David?†The figure now peers through the oblong porthole. The entrance opens, and silhouetted against the dim light of the passageway is the huge bulk of the engineer, still partially inside his huge bio-mechanical armour. Shaw recoils up the table. The engineer enters and we watch Shaw’s eyes follow him into the room. We hear the sound of the door closing and Shaw’s face is shrouded in shadow. Her eyes widen. Hard cut. The exterior of the ship is now on the surface of Paradise, amidst what looks like a barren and dark landscape, winds howl. Off in the distance you can see the storms raging as constant barrage of lightning silhouettes the strange organic like natural rock formations on the distant horizon beyond. The foreground appears to recoil and vibrate around the ship, as if it’s reacting to the ships presence. The ship is dark and quiet and stands motionless amidst an extremely beautiful and alien landscape. Hard cut. Shaw’s coiled up at the far end of her table against the wall. We see her POV. The engineer is motionless and just standing at the far end of the room facing her. We can’t really make it out, it’s almost completely shrouded in shadow. “What the fuck do you want?†Shaw screams at it. No acknowledgement, just motionless ignorance. “Answer me!†Nothing. “Why don’t you just come over here and f*cking kill me!†Shaw continues to stare at the thing petrified, but it still does nothing. A few beats pass until the silence is broken with a deep guttural sound. “Shaaaaaawwwwwhhh.†Shaw says nothing but stares up transfixed at the thing staring back at her from the shadows. Shaw’s POV, the engineer slowly emerges into the illuminated part of the room. We can see Shaw push her legs back and try to recoil even more, but she’s got nowhere to go. We watch as the engineer slowly walks forward and leans right in on us over the table until its face fills the frame. “Ssssshhhaaaaawwwwhhh.†We see a shot of them both in frame as Shaw turns her face away from the engineer in terror – Alien 3 homage. She closes her eyes and begins to tremble in fear, she nods her head absolutely terrified and virtually screams “Yeeessssss I’m doctor Shaaaaaawwwww!†The engineer begins to smirk, his dark narrow eyes glisten. “Doc… thoorrrr Shhhhaaaawwwwhhhh.†Shaw turns to face the engineer in utter terrified astonishment, it’s actually pretty comical. She looks right at him as we see anger fill her face, she nods with a big angry snarled up mouth. “Yes you ignorant f*cking prick! Doc tooooor f*cking Shaaaawwwww!†She screams her name right into his face, but the engineer doesn’t react, he just leans in closer towering over her as she refuses to budge. He smiles at her then slams the palm of his hand against the wall to the side of her, with such force we can see the entire curved section of the wall judder. Shaw recoils back in fright. Shaw’s POV as the engineer peers down upon her with dark narrow eyes and a big menacing grin. Fade out. Hard cut. Screaming, Shaw is slumped over the engineers shoulder and is kicking and fighting as he carries her effortlessly and swiftly along a passageway. “Let go of me you bastard!†She continues to struggle and thrash out but is unable to break free. We get a shot of her face as she begins to give up the fight. Then we see her reaction change as she notices something on the ground as she passes by. “David?… Daviiiiiid heeeelp meeeeee!†David’s mutilated head lays on the ground in a pool of white fluid, we see it growing smaller in an over the shoulder POV. We hear him call back, “I’m afraid I’m a little indisposed at the moment Miss Shaw.†Fluid leaks from his mouth when speaking and his voice is audibly distorted. Shaw response is that of comical uncertainty as she disappears down the passageway. “Davviiiiiiiiddddd!†She screams as she’s carried off up and around out of shot. The shot remains stationary and we slowly pan down to meet David’s motionless head processing what has just happened, his eyes survey the surroundings. His face twitches and more fluid escapes his mouth. Hard cut. A door shoots open. The engineer stands in the entrance, and hurls a struggling Shaw from his shoulder into a small dark room. She lands in the foreground with a thud and cries out in pain as she connects with the ground and clutches at her delicate stomach. She staggers back to her feet and makes a beeline for the exit, the door closes down on her and perfectly frames the engineers face looking down upon her. She thrashes at the dark metallic door. “Let me out… let me f*cking out!†The engineer smiles down on her, she looks back up at it and watches its eyes flick from her to something else at the far side of the room, and then back to her. Classic Speilbergian shot, Shaw slowly turns her head towards the darkness. We change POV as her back slowly swivels towards us, and she cautiously turns to face the dark room. She shrinks inwards on herself as she clutches at her chest and recoils with her back towards the door. We pan up to reveal the engineer, who cocks his head seemingly fascinated by what’s about to unfold, he’s smiling. Shaw’s POV, she scans the environment but is unable to see anything but a few murky and motionless shapes, it all looks empty and quiet. Then we look up. On the ceiling curled up in the shadows is something vaguely familiar. Shaw’s eyes widen. She screams turning and hammering at the door. “Let me ooouuuuutttt!†The engineer looks down and smiles. Behind her we see a dark long tail unfurl. She continues to plead. “Pleeeeaaaseeee!†She’s sobbing, but the engineer just looks down on her with curious fascination. He looks back up towards the thing approaching her, and once again she turns around, but this time as she turns in POV, we get an extremely fast shot of this dark thing leaping straight at her face. She almost got out a scream but it was far too quick. We hard cut to black, where we stay until the audio fades into total silence. Hard cut. A door opens and we’re confronted with a pair of legs, once again we can tell from the footwear who this is, it’s David. We watch this set of feet comically and clumsily enter the darkened room and follow along as they make their way towards the far side of the room, where we pan up to reveal a control panel exactly as David’s remaining arm hits a few combinations on the panel. We continue to pan up to reveal David has no head. Hard cut to David’s decapitated head still lay on the ground in a pool of white fluid, motionless, he’s deep in thought and we can see his eyes momentarily flicker and resume blankly staring out. He’s doing this blind with only calculation as his guide. We cut to the collection of silver ampules rising out of the ground. David carefully reaches out to pluck one up. He clumsily wrestles it between his legs as he crouches down, his body spasms slightly and he begins to unscrew the lid with his remaining hand. Hard cut back to David’s head, it gives a brief twitch. The lid is now undone, he tosses it aside and plunges his remaining arm into the vase and pulls out a handful of translucent goo, which no sooner pulled out, begins to reacts with the air and David’s synthetic skin. It begins to change colour as it creeps and slides up and around his hand. Hard cut. David’s eyes come to life again and he gives the slightest of smiles. We cut to the engineer operating a control panel at the rim of the holographic deck. The room trembles and the deck begins sequentially opening up as a gigantic chair rises up through the centre and begins to uncoil. We watch the engineer in profile as his gaze follows the thing as it rises. His eyes narrow and he climbs up onto the platform and takes his seat. The mechanisms begin to close up around him and we begin to notice that this engineer has the distinct outline of the same one we saw in the original Alien. This is an exact match, the reason for this is because this engineer still has on his full bio-mechanical suit as it takes the chair, and this one is far taller than the previous engineer. We pan around as the helmet display closes in on the engineers face, and just as it does so we snap focus to the entrance of the room as David’s clumsy decapitated body lumbers into the frame. The ship continues to rumble and vibrate as David slowly and clumsily makes his way across the room. He pulls himself up on the platform using the command chair as a leg up, and makes his way across the deck. The chair is fully operational now, and as he crosses the platform the holographic display lights up. David passes through it oblivious to everything and continues clumsily walking up to the chair at the centre of the platform. He holds out his arm, and gently smears the biological contaminant over the upper surface of the engineers encasement. We see the fluid sliding down through the cracks until it all vanishes beneath the alien mechanisms. A few beats pass, and then the holographic display starts going haywire all around the room. Loud unearthly screeches are audible coming from within the chair as a struggle rages on within it. David walks amongst the flickering holographic display and holds out his remaining arm, and begins clumsily twirling amidst the flickering holograms. The displays cut out, and the room goes dark. Fade out. Fade in. Elizabeth Shaw lays motionless on the floor of the dark room. We pan over her body to reveal her face, which is lying in a pool of her own drool and blood. There’s nothing attached to her face. She looks strangely peaceful. We see light flood the room as a figure stands at the entrance of the opened door. David stands in the entrance silently. His head is reattached but lolling to one side. His torn arm is also attached, but appears to be hanging by only a few connections. We see the dangling arm constantly twitching as his horrific silhouette enters the darkened room. How long has Shaw been out cold in there? Fade to black. Hard cut. – Montage. David looks over Shaw in the makeshift medical bay, inter-cut with his attempts at patching himself up. Comical attempts at fixing his head to stay upright, which all fail, and a botched job with a trembling arm while trying to fix his severely drooping eye. He manages to make it worse as his face begins to sag down the entire left side. Then we cut to him cutting into Shaw’s stomach again with an improvised surgical knife. This is an extremely graphic shot as we see him sift slowly through her organs with one clumsy arm. He appears to take hold of something lodged up inside her chest cavity. He slowly retracts his arm and pulls out an underdeveloped organism. Shaw slowly comes around as he’s removing it. We get a shot of his loose head noticing this, “Go back to sleep Miss Shaw.†He then punches her hard in the temple with his bad arm. The other is clutching the organism. It works, it knocks her out, but his arm flies off over the room in the process. David looks over at his arm twitching on the floor, then back down at Shaw. “Whoops.†Fade out. ******************************************************************** I'm unable to place the full article here, so for the rest go here.
