'In Space, there is no Horse'

If Jar-Jar really was responsible for the whole LV-426 debacle, it's just one more reason to go cut loose with high calibre weaponry on the place!!

I really want to believe this: EXCLUSIVE: Prometheus Plot Reveal - Aliens ARE In It - http://movies.sky.com/exclusive-prometh ... -are-in-it from "Insider sources"

This sounds unpleasantly AvP-like:


In fact, can I say that I never want to see another archaeological dig in another movie ever? AvP ruined Jurassic Park (*BUY A JEEP TONY*) for me.

I was thinking Stargate, myself... No stone tablets, but the DNA 'coincidentally' is the co-ordinates? That, or the episode of Futurama where Fry has a code hidden in the bender tattoo on his ass!!


So now we have a bit of Doctor Who, with teh ship being flown by The Face Of Bow??!!
Or should that be The Face Of Bishop? "No similarity... none whatsoever, honest!!".

Inside source..... More like inside sauce!!

Agreed - and while we're at it, I recommend Woody face a court martial or at the very least be put on latrine polishing duty (avec tongue) if he makes/mentions any more Jar Jar Binks impressions/quotes/references!

On a more serious note...
I've just finished reading the 'Shadow 19' script by Jon Spaihts. It's pretty good even though it's a first draft. Kind of a gnarly Avatar (many similarities: marines, mech suits, colonisation, amazing weaponry, fearsome alien creatures). There's some awesome action; some nice originality; interesting twists and a genuine 'WOW' moment at the end of the first act. There's some fantastic combat stuff in there as well - and plenty of it.
It doesn't have the same cross over appeal as Avatar I'd say but it pushes all the right buttons for the sci-fi crowd.

In this script, Prometheus is a space ship-cum terraforming machine that's sent to a distant world with the intention of gouging out a new home for mankind. As mentioned, I've only read the first draft so I'm sure Spaihts would have made a few changes. But this is definitely a movie I would liked to have seen. Even if Sir Ridles had put this version of the script on screen I would be very excited about it. So if what they've got is a big improvement (which we would assume it must be), then we should be in for something really cool.

It'll be interesting to see just how much of Jon Spaihts story ends up in the final 'Prometheus' script, which has been taken further by egg-headed 'Lost' scribe Damon Lindelof. My guess is probably not that much, if any of the current rumours are true.

Either way, with the talents of Spaihts, Lindelof, Scott, Giger and the acting talent announced the prospects couldn't be brighter.

I hope that Sky report is accurate (who knows? Media wankers are so full of shit), otherwise I'll have to change the end of my documentary *again*. I wish Fox or the film makers would just give us a proper answer to the on/off, it is/it isn't question of wether this actually is an Alien prequel or even set in the same universe. If the Sky report is correct then it clearly is a prequel. It's all just marketing bollocks and publicity voodoo of course.
Stop these childish games, I tell you, stop it! Stop it at once!!

But it's.... what I do......

Well we finally found out what really happened to the flop eared git...

So after the last few days of info, it sounds like it WILL have Aliens in it, and Giger working on it, and be in the same Universe.

So how ISN'T this an Alien film?

I really want to see another alien film, and I don't mean the kind of stuff that came after Aliens, I want more 80's action, and horror/suspense mixed with some big guns.

I'm either cynical or just unwilling to set myself up for disappointment.



translates to me as, "I've been told to play you like a violin as much as possible, and think that the fans of these films have the intellect of a kindergartener". I suppose it could just be an attempt at humour, but everything else they've said about the film seems so controlled.

At this time, we know exactly what the film's PR wants us to think. And I suppose that is the best we can do. As far as I can see, Scott wants to make a sci-fi film (with used-looking spaceships and dark-coloured creatures) and it's advantageous to hype it using ALIEN. Until I see something that isn't a quote from "sources familiar" or vagueries that the actors have been told to say, I don't see any reason to conclude anything else.

If it was a more concrete connection, I'm not sure why they wouldn't be more definitive. The yes-no-yes-maybe-yes flip-flopping sounds like the actions of a "PR department" rather than Ridley Scott changing his mind or people involved in the production misunderstanding the film to me ...

But, I present the most cynical of POV ...

On the other hand, does the film even have anything like a "PR team" at the moment to pull such shenanigans?...

And maybe used-looking spaceships, androids and dark-grey creatures are the best connection we can hope for? That and the fact that it's a sci-fi film directed by Scott?

My penneth worth.
Do I think the Prometheus rumours that its no longer an Alien Prequel but something else true.
No, its a smoke screen I cannot see Fox be willing to drop the Alien Megabuck pulling power that easily.

Do I think the excellent John Spaitghts 19 script is anything to do with the Alien Prequel, yes shoe horned to fit the Alien Universe with the Alien Harvest script best bits fitted too but yes it is.

I bet my spotty bum on it.
