Proof Blade Runner and Alien co-exist in the same universe.

I mentioned the cross over between the Blade Runner and Aliens to suggest perhaps that the Nexus series replicants being completely organic there was a chance an Alien could gestate inside one of them as opposed to an android.  Also that entering Tyrell into mother/Mu/th/ur returns with "insufficient security clearance". Anyhow, I metioned the "environ PURGE" screen displayed in Alien during Ripleys destruction of the Nostromo is the same screen shown in Blade Runner during Edward James Almos 's scene for his interaction with the police cars HUD.

This screen from the dvd extras of the Aliens should put it to bed yes?

S.M. is right about contradictions,but perhaps they can be worked around.

And somewhere Scott mentioned that there was an idea of putting some crew members in Tyrell uniforms on the ship Prometheus, but that's all...

ninXeno, yes-yes :)

I didn't know that about Prometheus.Along with the difference between Replicants and androids there also space travel.Blade Runner spoke of off world colonies in 2019

We'll see if anything is said or touched upon in Blade Runner 2049.

It'd be great to see a Weyland Corporation banner or billboard in there.

@ninXeno426        Yeah good call, easy and subtle. Just to give you a little something, I like it.

"S.M. is right about contradictions,but perhaps they can be worked around."

Perhaps. Two major ones.

1) Roy talks about events that appear to have happened in deep space.  Meaning he's been there and back before 2019, meaning faster than light travel.  FTL travel in the Alien universe isn't discovered until 2032.

2) Weyland's TED Talk talks about that in few short years they'll have cybernetic organisms indistinguishable from humans.  That was in 2023 - at least 4 years after the Nexus 6 was so humanlike you needed VK tests to suss them out.

The space travel is one i pointed out.

ninXeno426 - They are not real problems...

Roy's statement about deep space adventures --- just fake memories planted by the corporation. He wouldn't be the only one as we know...

TED Talk info --- there are several ideas to so solve that, for example, Weyland kept back secret info or they say that that video is not canon anymore... :)

Anything can be changed... ('Money makes the world go round')

Im back, and have read all the comments and think its great, the directions it could go, I didn't know about the other bio's of the crew with the references to terminator and names of producers etc, so that does downplay the connection quite a bit. Im glad to know that. I suppose it just leaves a number of great stories for future movies to explore, and potentially cross paths. I have realized the fun (for me personally) is more about coming up with a working theory that includes or is governed by the rules of the universe the film(s) are happening in. What fun would it be to just know the real story before the movie was released right?  Thanks again to all who added to the thread.

@ Ati,  I agree. A few lines of dialogue takes care of any conflicts regarding time lines. I think it would be something about FTL travel being discovered far earlier, but due to some deaths of crew members in early missions everthing was classified for some years, which could then explain the creation of the Nexus-6 replicants being different from Andriods to find out what the FTL travel did to the human body to cause the deaths etc. And androids may not be organic enough to provide any helpful info.

There is also the small matter of Blade Runner not being Fox's IP.

Welcome back Don Digimon.I gotta say i've loved this thread so far.Excellent idea on the planted memories Ati.Perhaps it's just a pipe dream,but that doesn't mean we can't have fun theorizing about the possibilities.

I always wondered if Blade Runner was a part of the Alien series.

 

Don Digimon Farrakhan Magic Juan

MemberOvomorphApr-04-2017 11:46 PM

Yeah, Blade Runner has the potential to be seen as sort of a "Meanwhile, back on Earth" aspect of the greater universe.

@Don Digimon: 

Is Alien Resurrection considered canon?

I believe Ripley 8 returned to Earth in that movie, and it was a wasteland.

Man am I tempted to run with the idea of a semi-crossing of the two, it really WORKS with some established things in my storyline!

IN SPACE THERE IS NO WARNING
