Ridley Scott returns to science fiction after more than 25 years and rescues Alien.
It’s been a couple of years since he first mentioned he had “a new science fiction script” in the works. Looks like this is it.

The prequel to Alien may indeed be concerned with the alien ship designed by Giger and the “Space Jockey” species of aliens. This means that there may be no human characters in this film. Wow.

How he will achieve this will be most interesting. Scott loves to bring the element of reality to his films; this is why Alien and Blade Runner were so visceral. Achieving realism in this new story setting will be a real challenge, but there is none better to take it on.

I have no doubt it will be beautifully shot.

“… what do you think about Alien Vs. Predator?” – reporter
“I have a good relationship with Fox, so … (grins) I think they know what I think” – Ridley Scott

It's Official - Ridley Scott is Directing the Alien Prequel!

Re: Ridley Scott’s Prequel to Alien
 

Ridley often likes to change the name of his movie right before it is released. This movie has no title, although it may have a working title.

Also, there is no way on Earth that Ridley Scott approved these posters. I don’t know if they are Fox official or what, but Sir Ridley’s eye did not okay these. No way.

Yes. That's why I placed it has "Untitled Alien Prequel" in my list months ago. And that's why these posters are referred to as "week 42" posters. Alleged pre- production artwork.

Re: Ridley Scott’s Prequel to Alien
 

Those "posters" remind me of Tommyknockers, heh, Ridley will wastem em away.

I can make a list for you if you like, but here's my source I used for my thread when the news broke out 4 months ago.

And I posted the rumours of an Alien prequel before that. It's all above board.

Whether or not you believe Variety is your prerogative, but they have been reporting industry news for many decades.

PS I would like this to be an ongoing discussion thread on the films production. I will post what I find out as the film is made. I will have my eye on this one.

The Art Of Alien

The artists who started it and some who might work on the new one.

As some of you most likely know, this story originated with Dan O'Bannon, a writer/actor/fx engineer. He hooked with Ronald Shusett (Total Recall Exec.P) and together they pitched it to Fox. Walter Hill and David Giler took over (as Producers) from there.

Dan O’Bannon, Ron Shusett, and H.R. Giger all worked on the design of the “Face Hugger” alien. Giger, of course, was the sculptor.

As I am sure everyone knows, Giger’s design for the alien was based on previous work released just a couple of years prior to Alien in one of his Necronomicon works. He went on to design the “Space Jockey”, the eggs, and the production design for the “Space Jockey” ship.

Ron Cobb did much of the “human” ship design.

Roger Christian designed interiors for the Nostromo.

Leslie Dilley worked on planet design (and later did design work for Legend).

Master model makers Brian Johnson and Martin Bower oversaw "space scene" FXs.

Syd Mead did not work on Alien but did work on Blade Runner and later worked on Aliens. (Syd Mead designed the incredibly realistic spacecraft used in Mission To Mars).

The most important designer for a prequel would then be Giger, as he is the artist of the Space Jockey and the “alien” species. Giger also did design work for Alien 3 (in my opinion a better film than either Aliens or Alien 4, which was total crap). I would expect him to be very much a part of a prequel.

Additionally, Wesley Sewell has worked with Scott many times with CG.
“… what we wanted to do is take the existing technologies and refine them and push them into to a place where they are invisible” – Wesley Sewell (on Kingdom Of Heaven).

Richard Stammers is doing visuals (supervisor) for Robin Hood.

Re: Ridley Scott’s Prequel to Alien
 

sorry guys
but with out ripley (of course only Sigourney Weaver can do this role) the movie will be doooooooomed

Re: Ridley Scott’s Prequel to Alien
 

So a movie about a time period before Ripley came into the picture is doomed without Ripley?

Yeah, right.

Ok so, using the above axiom for film quality, Alien Resurrection is a good film? That had multiple Ripleys, and it seemed pretty doomed to me...

I have always been interesting in the mysterious, giant alien race that we only catch glimpses of in the original Alien. I would be interested in seeing a film that covered the events leading up to the scuttling of the alien ship on LV-426.

Re: Ridley Scott’s Prequel to Alien
 

Alien Resurrection was horrible. eehh gads, horrible.

Scotts got so much stuff lined up he can't possibly do it all. Not in two years (something like five movies on his plate). We'll be lucky if he puts out three movies in the next three years.

Who knows if this will ever get made or if it will die in the developement phase.

True, but it also had Winona Ryder and, therefore, was better than the first two. :randy: Though I have to admit I liked the third one best.

Re: Ridley Scott’s Prequel to Alien
 

I agree, as a hardcore alien fanboy, getting into the backstory of what put that ship there and what actually happened would be awesome.

I can't make many apoligies for Resurrection, but 1-3 I did enjoy (definitely the first 2 moreso) so I'm down with anything that's associated with this lore. Don't mind that Ripley's not there considering the story's got nothing to do with her. The return of Scott is a great sign and one that gives me a ton of confidence.

Ridley Scott Describes Alien Prequel

Empire was talking with director Ridley Scott recently about his return to Alien, the sci-fi plus horror film that first catapulted him to fame. Earlier this year, the news broke that Scott would be coming back for a prequel chapter to Alien, which would be set long before the mess-yourself-terror of the 1979 original.

Ever since that news was confirmed, Alien fans have all been wondering what “Sir Ridley” had in mind for the prequel. Thanks to Empire, we now have at least some idea of what we can expect.

Said Scott:

Many people have also been wondering if this prequel was going to explain the mysterious scene in the original Alien where the crew members found a non-human pilot crash landed on planet LV-426 with his chest burst out. According to Scott, the prequel will have a “human focus,” though what that means exactly is anyone’s guess at this point.

In Alien, Ash (the android character played by Ian Holm), was missioned by the Mega-corporation Weyland-Yutani to bring the alien back alive. It was (semi) explained in the film that the corporation had made prior (unsuccessful) attempts to capture the alien; between that reference, and the logical deduction that a human exploration party must’ve made first contact with the aliens at some point for the mega corp to even know of their existence, let’s just say there is a lot of fertile ground on which to build this prequel.

Last word we heard, Ridley Scott (at the insistance of 2oth Century Fox) will be back to helm the film, working off a screenplay by Jon Spaihts. I feel confident in saying that there are a LOT of us out here eagerly anticipating seeing this particular prequel.

No word on when Alien 0 will be terrifying us in theaters. As stated by Scott, it’s currently in development.

Re: Ridley Scott’s Prequel to Alien
 

I hope they get this one right. great idea to go back to the beginning though then end it...

I'm not sure what to think of this. Im a big fan of the Alien movies (except Resurrection) and I think after the damage the AvP movies have done to the franchise then this kind of movie desperately needs to be good and not just another half arsed money making cop out

Re: Ridley Scott’s Prequel to Alien
 

I just read about this today on aintitcool, and I can't wait! The original Alien is still my favorite, although Aliens was great too.

What are some of the general complaints about the second AvP film? The first one had potential overall but essentially had good parts only; the second one, I thought, was not bad but had its faults.

Re: Ridley Scott’s Prequel to Alien
 

I know it's a joke, but the title Alien 0 is wrong for a prequel.

It should be called Alien -1

Ridley Scott On The "Alien" Prequel

Director Ridley Scott ("Gladiator," "Robin Hood") tells MTV News that after years of talking about it, script work on the "Alien" prequel is well underway with a fourth draft currently sitting on his desk.

Surprisingly Scott was more forthcoming than expected about the story which will be set in 2085, 30 years before Ellen Ripley is born, but will have a female lead. Of the story Scott says he's finally going to solve the mystery of a key scene in the 1979 original.

For those who don't remember or have never seen Scott's original, the story followed the human crew of the starship Nostromo touching down on the unexplored planet LV-426 to investigate a signal. They come upon a crashed spacecraft containing the fossilised remains of the pilot (the Space Jockey) and a vast cargo hold full of alien eggs. Despite being from an obviously different alien species to the titular xenomorphs, the Space Jockey's origins are never explored or really talked about onscreen outside of that scene.

Scott adds the film's 'company' won't be the Weyland-Yutani company yet - just Weyland. Also the story will deal with their early attempts at terraforming planets.

Scott says that he'll likely have to redesign the creatures
Release date wise, Scott says "we're hoping to have it in theaters in late 2011, or maybe the best date in 2012."

Ridley Scott Confirms Two 3D Untitled Alien Prequel Films

Early this week, Ridley Scott revealed some important details about his upcoming Untitled Alien Prequel, which you can read here. Now, with the director out promoting his latest adventure Robin Hood, more information has surfaced in regards to the film. Scott confirmed to Collider what art director Roger Christian told us back in March: The Untitled Alien Prequel will be shot in 3D. Not only that, the director has not one, but two prequels planned in continuing on with this long running 20th Century Fox franchise. This is what the director had to say about the 3D:

About the number of new Alien Prequel films he has planned, Ridley Scott replied:

To read more from this interview, be sure to check out the entire story on Collider.

Untitled Alien Prequel is in development . The film is directed by Ridley Scott.

I would bet, that Weyland has created the aliens by accident. It`s always something like this.

Are the alien and predator stories/timelines treated as the same or separate? Because this idea would counter the alien's existence before this point, correct?

Re: Ridley Scott’s Prequel to Alien
 

i want to know whats with the 'space jockey' and i cant wait, its gonna be awesome as it sounds like Ridley Scotts excited to do it and there is a sence of freedom as its a prequel and i hope H.R Giger is involved as he stuff is weard (you just need to look at some of his stuff)

Re: Ridley Scott’s Prequel to Alien
 

Sir Ridley says the Alien prequel will be filmed in 3D and use more advanced cameras than Jim used on Avatar.

Also, Sir Ridley says he would like to do two sequels.
Fourth draft of script is complete, but more rewrites will occur. Most likely even through filming, as Captain Redbeard likes to make it up on the set. :)

Sounds like lots of fun!

Ridley Scott Talks ‘Alien’ Prequel Details

Esteemed filmmaker Ridley Scott spoke to attendees at this year’s Hero Complex Film Festival in Los Angeles about a variety of subjects – most importantly, his upcoming 3D Alien prequels.

It was previously reported that there would be two 3D prequels to Alien and that the focus of the films would be on “The Space Jockey” seen briefly in the 1979 sci-fi/horror classic. Scott confirmed this early report and expressed astonishment that the character’s backstory had not yet been explored on film before now, since its appearance was so memorable.

Scott went on to reveal that Jon Spaihts (The Darkest Hour) had written a screenplay for the first film and that pre-production had begun on both projects. He added that both prequels would take place LONG before the events of Alien (he previously stated that it was set 30 years earlier, which may still be the case), so that they could encompass a good deal of history about “The Space Jockey” and its deadly encounter with the Aliens.

Will the history of “The Space Jockey” be similar to Mark Verheiden’s comics in the ’90s – which portrayed them as deadly warriors who were prepped to destroy humanity once they had defeated the Aliens? Or will the film treat them as something else entirely? Scott was mum on the matter but did mention that once moviegoers learned about the creature’s encounter with the iconic acid-bleeding monsters, they would be intrigued to learn just why it (he?) was on the Alien planet in the first place.


Scott also dove into some more general details, mentioning how he had already done a good deal of underwater research for the films. He rounded out the Alien prequels talk with the news that the films would indeed address some of the practicalities of outer space colonization, including the issues of terra forming, the nature of light speed, and humanity’s ability to actually leave Earth.

The first Alien prequel will likely arrive in regular and 3D theaters in the U.S. by late 2011, with the second film following in 2012.

First off, I agree that the film is not doomed, due to the absence of Ripley.

</br> However, I would like to know what made Alien Resurrection, so "bad" in your eyes. I feel, all to often, people jump on the "sequels are bad" bandwagon because it's the "cool" thing to do. I'm not saying it was great, nor that it is my favorite film (of the trilogy). In fact, I last saw the trilogy, my junior year in college, when I purchased the box set; so it was nearly 5 years ago. I don't remember watching the movie and being as memorized as I was when I was a little boy and saw the original for the first time, but I certainly don't remember watching Alien Resurrection, and thinking to myself, &quot;this is crap&quot;.

I agree that the first movie looked like it actually had potential, unfortunately it never developed into a good movie.

For the second one, I just lowered my expectations; if you take it for what it is, "just a gore-fest" you can enjoy the movie.

I think it was a smart move moving from PG-13, to Rated R in the second. I absolutely HATE this stupid rating system. SOOOOO many movies in my life-time have been thwarted by the PG13 label, simply because studios want to market to the largest possible audience.

The ONLY promising thing about the AVP series, was the ending to AVP2. In the Alien series, it seems the human race has made a great leap in technology in the first 100+- years of the 21st century, I was hoping they would tie that leap into what humans have learned from the Predator weapon they acquired in the AVP2 ending...unfortunately, it seem they are going a different way in AVP3.

What the AVP franchise needs, is to get away from from PG13 ratings, and a healthy dose of substance + lore. Unfortunately studios only see it as a cash-cow; thankfully it's a rapidly dwindling cash cow.

I hadn't seen this mentioned anywhere around here, so I'll go ahead and post the whole thing.

Scott's 'Alien' prequel becomes 'Prometheus'

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/movies/n...rometheus.html

Are the Alien fans happier with this or would you rather have a 'straight' Alien prequel? What odds that an Alien prequel goes ahead anyway, now that the idea's been out there a while and accepted?

Can't wait for this. Alien and Aliens were terrific sci-fi films.

Re: Ridley Scott’s Prequel to Alien
 

as long as its original, i'm signed.

Re: Ridley Scott’s Prequel to Alien
 

Dark Horizons says that Charlize Theron and Angelina Jolie want the 'other' female role, after Noomi Rapace nabbed the role of Elizabeth Shaw.

Much more like it :)

I like the idea of an 'original' tale here. I didn't think that a prequel was necessary and the fact that they will be addressing other themes other than the alien antagonists makes me think that the film has a lot of potential as opposed to being a cash in on a pretty dead franchise while using 'the latest 3D technology ********. This could be very good.

Re: Ridley Scott’s Prequel to Alien
 

Im looking forward to it. I thought the movie Predators was going to tie in with this series some where. Anyone know if its supposed to be a part of the series or just relation given past characters. I meant for both the predator and alien series.

Re: Ridley Scott’s Prequel to Alien
 

That's definitely fake. I saw scenes from Transformers: DotM and AVP: Requiem off the top of my head.

Re: Ridley Scott’s Prequel to Alien
 

Sorry about the fake trailer, but IMDB just posted 1 picture from the movie, it's nothing special but if you wanna see it it's here.

Interesting pic. About the trailer, didn't the shot from X-Men clue you in? ;)


I was extremely interested in this film when I thought it was going to be about the space jockey and it was rumored that the film wouldn't have any humans in it at all. That sounds amazing and I'm still waiting for the day where Hollywood makes a big budget film without a human cast or without dialog (Back when the Disney film Dinosaur teaser hit the internet I hoped that film would be dialog free, stupid me).

Once they started casting humans and rumors started that the aliens may be man made genetic creatures I lost complete interest. Count me out unless it hits an 80+ % on Rotten Tomatoes. Then I might reconsider. Might.

Also, Ridley Scott gets a bit of a pass from film geeks, IMO. He's a bit hit or miss, though. Hannibal, Matchstick Men, G.I. Jane, Legend and Body of Lies are almost as bad as his good films are good.

Re: Ridley Scott’s Prequel to Alien
 

There is a fan made trailer, not film but it's made up of screen grabs from the actual trailer that got leaked a month or so ago:

Re: Ridley Scott’s Prequel to Alien
 

Could be a fantastic film if they do it (and do it right, of course). The first 2 Alien films were 2 of my favorite movies of all time, but I think they got a little hoky as they continued the series.

Re: Ridley Scott’s Prequel to Alien
 

I've been pretty neutral about Prometheus from the second I heard Ridley was returning to the Alien universe, but I must confess that the use of the Jerry Goldsmith score and cutting the trailer in the same style as the original...it kinda hooked me.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eX_qn3bV5n0

will be in Prometheus(prequel) one of main character:) Jones(Jonesy) or another .... ?

Re: Ridley Scott’s Prequel to Alien
 

bump! my question..

...doesn't make sense

what make you think that ?

I don't understand what you are asking here.

Re: Ridley Scott’s Prequel to Alien
 

I think he's asking if Jones the cat is going to be in this prequel. Or possibly he's implying that either Jones or another "main" character from the original (the face-hugger perhaps?) will make a triumphant return to the silver screen, and wondering which. There can be only one!

http://www.princeton.edu/~ddunham/cinema/alien%2002.pngvs.http://www.princeton.edu/~ddunham/cinema/alien%2003.jpg

I think Genyav is asking if Jonesy the cat will be in Prometheus, and I'm guessing a big fat no.

Beaten by the faster US server again. :(

of course i mean this,
and if not a cat, than no pet ?

This sucks, how can they do an Alien movie without Xenomorphs (did not know that's what they were called) but I am sure whatever kind of aliens they have will be bad ass so I'm still looking forward to this.

In the trailer it looks like the ship from Alien, the U shaped one that they find on the planet, I have a bad memory but it looks like the same.

Re: Ridley Scott’s Prequel to Alien
 

Anyone who doubted this was a prequel can doubt no further. They show the "space jockey" in this trailer.

Looking forward to it.

Re: Ridley Scott’s Prequel to Alien
 

Very reminiscent of "Alien." Looks epic. I'm a huge fan of Fassbender and Elba, icing on the cake :p

Very very very very very excited for this. Shame it's being shot in 3D, Ridley had an excellent opportunity to go 70mm with this one. I will be seeing it in normal vision, but yeah, very reminiscent of Alien indeed. It looks be Ridley's most aesthetically pleasing film since Gladiator, I mean the set designs look absolutely bold and if the tension build up in the trailer is anything to go by, this should be a very claustrophobic and intense experience.

Heavyweight ****ing cast too. PEARCE, FASSBENDER, ELBA, RAPACE, Theron. This can't disappoint.

Re: Ridley Scott’s Prequel to Alien
 

I saw the trailer for this the other day and the only word that come to mind was... "WOW" cannot wait for this!!

Well I WAS hyped for it. Now i'm just semi hyped. Apparently it might turn out to be a 12A. Dunno why a 12A is being called for when the 3D thing will make enough cash flow already. I'm not saying it has to be violent or have bad language to be a good film, but I just hate the idea of restricting stuff for a film that potentially has very few limits. I hope they at least make it a 15 (since 15 is the new 18 these days).

Hi to all, this is my first post here. (Im posting what may be deadly spoilers - so be warned)

After watching the trailer which leaves one full of deliberate confusion your presented with a familiar sight. We see a guy moving in that scene, very tall, not human....must be the pilot - a Space Jockey. Yes? Well I think-No!

Why would we be shown the real deal after a minute of random mystery? I think this tall pale guy is in fact one of the human crew long after infection & mutation. Perhaps the one who resists the change and by this effect evolves into or is rewarded by becoming a young engineer instead. He is some how given a explorer ship as his method of learning about himself - seen in the trailer.

But he is horrified by the actions of his peers and their monsters and turns to help the crew. He remote activates a Bio Ship for the crew to use and also effects the Xenos into seeking his peers as a greater food source. The remaining explorers then flee easily as the Xeno ignores them seeking out Engineers.

Explosions of viewed as the Xeno cause chaos in their attempt to feed on any thing Engineer related. Engineers are unable to alter the Xeno instruction as a new "found one of theirs" has created it. They aim to capture this new one but are caught up in the Xeno destruction of their temple - weakening them. All Urns are smashed and exposed to Earths atmosphere - the Genisis of man begins.

One crew member is guided to a Bio ship and meets this new engineer. It introduces itself as the former crew member. The ship moves into space near to the Prometheus. Another crew member now horribly changed has waited until now - wanted to have the power that the young engineer has. It attacks the new engineer and in the fight a cry of "flee" is heard. The new engineer remotely opens a exit portal. We see the survivor flee into space and meet the Prometheus.

Once inside, the survivor goes to the sleep chambers, remotely controlled by the new engineer.

The new engineer then allows itself to be sucked into space with the monster and uses its mind to open to travel portal. The Prometheus is pulled into nothingness. The young engineer now calls his ship and rejoins it leaving the monster trapped in old Earths gravity - the beast burns up. Badly beaten and wounded, the young engineer merges with a Bio Suit to heal and begins plotting a journey to Earths future. It senses death upon Earth now - no engineers in existence. Soon the survivng xeno will perish with no food. Great winds are seen upon Earth with focus given to the BIO FORMER contents flapping around.

It is now realised by the young engineer that his peers where here not to create us. Humanity was created by humanity (stepping into the past)

The young engineer is then seen smiling and looking at a projection of modern day Earth. It then moves the craft to be pulled into nothingness. We see the being look at pollution problems, wars and starving via a projected screen. The being speaks - I shall heal this for humanity.

Somewhere else inside the BIO SHIP a egg is seen - previously laid by the monster. The young being of power falls into sleep and regenerates/heals.

Something is seen scurrying like a rat.

The original Space Jockey was one of us now evolved to god like ability. Caught off guard in its healing and killed.

Thats my idea - bet its all wrong but there you go :)

Re: Ridley Scott’s Prequel to Alien
 

Um, this idea for the film came in dreams and also constructive thinking. Previously Ive found myself to be spot on with past movies.

Star Trek Next Gen first Movie: Dreamt of seeing the disc seperate and crash at the end of the story leading to a new beefier star ship being built. In the Dream it crashed upon a road which lead to a new project for STNG further along this roadway.

Independence Day: Worked out that the only way to beat the invader was to wait until they opened up to fire their major weapon. Dreamt of the aliens in the movie and felt dissapointed - sensed alot of problems there in budget and ability to display a alien, big confusion over what would look amazing:)

Terminator 3: Worked out that the only way to kill the bad guy(women) was to place explosive within her stomach area. Friends where surprised when i told them this! They had seen the picture I had not.

Bush: Saw him (in dream) stood higher next to his challenger for the President role. A few days later President Bush addressed the USA.

Star Trek Voyager: (dream) Speices 8472, saw it hitting the rear of Voyager and sending it into trouble. Alot of how can we do this was heard and angered voices struggling with "plots" and "impossibilities"

Now heres one that didnt happen :)

STNG: best of both worlds part 2. Had to wait ages for this episode on TV :) I had one dream in which Q appears aboard the Enterprise as it faces the cube near Earth. Saw a few other ships too. A women says, "weve stopped it!" Then it comes to life again and Q is impressed by us. He clicks his fingers and sends it away. Q goes onto to say to Picard, "why hide under your bed sir when you can control the fear"

Well that never happened :)

May I add here, the disc looking ship seen in the trailer is in fact a BIO SHIP with a destination and also a mission to spray its new (future human) mixture. It crashes after the Engineers responsible for it (in the temple) are over come by hungry xenos.

Thats my wacky but often true report so far.

The leaked beginning to the movie is almost correct. As far as I know there will be a dot in the sky seen descending in one shot.(Although I suspect they shall remove it) Were then breifly shown the BIO SEEDERS who terraform - wipe the slate clean (deep holes into the core that alter the planetoids cycle)- allowing for life to be added upon a controlled world. ( a mixture gases, spraying and disgusting looking animated moulds blowing in the wind/rain.)

The reason the Promethius is pulled back in time is simply because they stumble into, or trigger the Engineers time well. Theres no great welcome upon arrival at Zeta R.

Prior to arrival at Zeta R only a skeleton crew are awakened. This allows the company to keep anything discovered classified if needed. This skeleton crew are the ones that will explore the planet at the other end of the time well. The women in charge of this mission to Zeta R demands that the rest of the crew remain in sleep upon exit from the time well. There may still be things that need to be classified. A drop ship is launched with a small group of explorers.

They find a large, dark & forboding mystery ahead. Stangley, all scans detect no life. One member of the crew theorises that this place is a ancient ET structure matching the artifacts found upon Earth. The female Leader, orders a full investigation.

Exploring the entrance reveals cut stone blocks similar to those found back on Earth dating 1000s of years. An entrance ahead, open, ahead dark and complex structures. Silent, disturbing but wonderful. Heat is detected and builds up in certain parts of this complex. Following this heat signature they find the Head structure. They collect HURNS and turn to leave. following the tunnels to the exit. One crew member who has worked out the secret of these HURNS passes an ENGINEER structure. It reaches out and collects the hurn then pours part of it onto the crew member. The others return to find him screaming with nothing else around. They flee in terror alerting the drop ship that they have a casualty. The wounded crew member and HURNS are taken back to Promethius.

Whilst one HURN is studied all other crew awake and turn to their tasks & operations - HIGH ALERT. The injured crew man is monitored and found to have been exposed to some form of natural pollution. He quickly regains his senses, and tries to piece together what happened. His memory seems lost has he develops a severe cold like illness. Coughing, sweating. Nothing can be found as the crewmans body seems in good function. They joke that hes caught an alien cold. Hes allowed to return to his partner and they sleep together.(his partner is the female leader of this expedition.)

Soon, many others are displaying the mild cold symptons and treat it as sleep sickenss.(The crewman was handled with a damaged helmet as he was taken to the doctors.)

With alot of garbled systems still reacting to the time well - the Promethius is cut off in areas still requiring good old fashioned walks to certain areas. Soon reports of ill people reach command. People start disappearing from duties.

The drop ship crew are told to stand by and remain upon the surface.

Reports of crewmen atacking each other are reported within the Promethius. Armed security seek out this threat and find slim and hideous human forms feeding on the dead. These intruders still retain part of their human ability and can unlock doors, use computers and pick up and use guns. Bullets, electricity and fire are used to combat this menace.

A war breaks out inside Promethius as the leader, infected android and several personel flee to the planets surface. Several missing crew are traced via DNA and found to be inside the temple. Several of the new drop ship crew move from duties and head for the temple. The original infected crewmember leaps from above a transporter and infects two others. Flamethrowers are now used to clean the drop port. Again, the wounded are taken into care.

The group returning to the temple fall into trance and meet a female structure similar to the HEAD only more horrid. It speaks to them and offers eternal existence for a simple service in return. The DNA traces previously sensed now manifest

Prometheus alerts the drop port that agressions have stopped. No crew remain and the intruder is dying rapidly.

Back on the planet the female leader snarls realising it was all a trap.
A battle rages inside drop port against more of these ugly forms. Drop port is crippled and later destroyed to kill the enemy.

Two women remain.

Trapped.

Re: Ridley Scott’s Prequel to Alien
 

Question, the way the Space Jockey looks in the first movie being all mummified. Is this due to having an alien within it and then dying afterwards? Or will similarities between design be universal as far as the rest of Giger's world goes? As in, Do the Aliens mimic the Space Jockey or did the Space Jockey mimic the aliens?

Prometheus will be the movie of the decade.

Re: Ridley Scott’s Prequel to Alien

Here's something fun.

According to his speech we've got a crap ton of technology to invent in the next 11 years. It'd be cool if even half that stuff comes true.

EDIT: akatemple, how is that a spoiler? Isn't it a foregone conclusion that the company or its roots would be in the film?

Re: Ridley Scott’s Prequel to Alien
 

For me it was not a spoiler but I cannot say that on behalf of everyone, just covering my ass.

I watched that video, that is crazy, and agree it would be awesome if some of that happened.

Re: Ridley Scott’s Prequel to Alien
 

^ Previews for trailers are annoying and hope it's not a new trend, who has trailers for an upcoming trailer... but yes, probably the top film to see for me in 2012.

Re: Ridley Scott’s Prequel to Alien
 

.13 seconds. Is that an alien throwing the person in suit?

Re: Ridley Scott’s Prequel to Alien
 

It looks like another of the guys in one of those space suits unless aliens now wear boots.

Me too.

Re: Ridley Scott’s Prequel to Alien
 

It's a person, but the shot after looks like someone's got acid on their helmet.

Re: Ridley Scott’s Prequel to Alien
 

Well that's going to sting. :yup:
