Perhaps the planetoid will be as yet undesignated.

Yes but it doesn't matter. They will definitely show their destination, and if they land on one of three moons surrounding a planet, that should be a pretty big give away. If they land on a planet itself or something completely different, then we know for sure that it's not the same place.

I don't know how much of a spoiler this classifies as but the answer to that is in the Weyland corporate timeline

Here's a 24-minute Ridley Scott and Damon Lindelof Q&A from yesterday:

http://www.livestream.com/prometheu...5ccf&utm_source=lslibrary&utm_medium=ui-thumb

It was posted in the other Prometheus thread but I dunno if it made its way over here.

Note: Ridley Scott is not a fan of being called "oldschool." :P

Quoting because awesome post. It was really interesting actually hearing them speak about the film. And to know that there will be scenes to rival the chest burst has me all pumped up. Will not be watching any more trailers now.

Also Ridley too big to get inside Lindelof and F u Jessica XD

Nah, just the first two individually. I was waiting for them to come to the UK for quite a while, they've been out a couple of months and I hadn't got around to picking them up yet.

The Anthology pack is actually cheaper then the first two movies by themselves from what I can see. Only 15 pounds on Amazon.

Still got to watch Alien: Resurrection from the Anthology. It's crazy how much worse Alien 3 looks then the first two movies though, wonder how bad this one is.

Yeah it is, but I just wanted the normal bluray cases.
 
Alien: Resurrection is just plain BAD. Its a shame really because Whedon's original script was in fact pretty solid, but all the best stuff was cut from it in order to fit its limited budget.

Alien 3 for all its faults at least looks good comparatively.

The reality is that Alien was never exactly a franchise deep in ideas, and should never have been sequelized to the extent it was. Cameron at least had the good sense to make his version as much a remake as a sequel, just changing the scale and tone from intimate suspense to (somewhat) more open warfare.

Still no excuse for repeating its predecessors ENTIRE third act, plot-point for plot-point though.

So I pulled out my CED copy of Alien to show my wife what the space Jockey ship looks like because she saw the promo spot that aired during Walking Dead and wanted to know what this film is about and I realized the ship pictured, the one that gets explored in Alien, is nicely parked out in the open yet the previews show it lifting out of the ground and then getting blown up mid air. Pretty much means thats not the same ship and/or not the same planet.

I don't really think you can get a good enough view of the crashed ship in Alien to determine whether it landed or not. After all, the only reason they investigate it is because of a distress beacon.

I see the ship crashing, like in Prometheus, then falling over to its position in Alien.
 
The weird thing is, every time I see a new trailer I become slightly LESS hyped for the movie. I still have high hopes for it though, and do intend on catching it in the movie theatre, if at all possible. I'm just not convinced this is going to be the great sci-fi experience some people seem to be expecting. The fact that it's budgeted, produced and marketed as a summer box office tentpole says a lot, in my opinion.
 
Just to further prove that old synopsis wrong John Sphaits had his to say:
jonspaihts @ikarop_ | Nope. Fake. Entertainingly, the character "Shaw" wasn't named Shaw in my drafts. It's the only character name that changed.
 
I don't think they implied it's not an Alien film. From what I've heard from Lindelof, it's not a prequel in the sense that a prequel is part of the same story before the preexisting entries. This is a film set in the same universe, with the mythology in place.

Oddly, it did sound almost Lost-ish in his description of the themes, which surprised me, and excited me. I think Lost was amazing. I certainly trust him to deliver.
 
Just got in a debate with a buddy about what he thinks the movie is actually about. That Aliens had been on our planet already cuz of the ALIENS vs Predator movies.........Thus after explaining Ridley Scotts ALIEN and concept is nothing of what it became in the other movies, and had to show him the prometheus synopsis, he says well there was a hole in the space jockey, so ALIENS have to be in Prometheus.....as in throughout the whole movie. I hate when actual friends troll you on purpose, hahaha

Yeah I think its a prequel but not in the way that the final scene of the movie will lead into the events of Alien.

Its basically Space Jockeys the movie and I assume we will be able to infer things that happen in Alien from the events in this movie

Its a prequel without being a prequel

Given the debate on the Q&A, I imagine it's more akin to the 2001 story, the Aliens either propagated the universe with life, or had influence on the progression of various life forms. The debate as to whether faith could be completely devastated by a single event. No trauma would have that influence, people's faith is just strengthened by misfortune, it would have to be something which directly contradicts the existence of God, such as proof our existence was from another source.
 
i think u can piece together some scene already.

Alien Ship flies,
Idris Elba pilots their ship
Idris yelling (scene) crashes it to the alien ship.
Alien ship falling as the female ran tries to avoid the debris

Female gets attack in the cryo chamber scene
Female covered in blood as she leans on the walls scene

I'm ashamed to say I've never watched any of the Alien films. My only venture into that universe has been Alien vs Predator. The other films, which I'm not sure if they are part of the same universe, are Predator, Predator 2 and Predators. My experience with older science fiction films only stretches as far as Star Wars and Blade Runner.

Is it worth picking up the Alien films? If so, which ones? Do they hold up well?
