so far it seems they will follow up on half of the story from the leaked script.

read the script,put it together with all the info that leaked this months and what ridley said,and u got half of the movie

Yeah, I wasn't expecting Alien in HD to be something special, but it is. The quality I saw at your place was out of the roof, and I'm sure that, once I get a bluray player, I will probably see the movies another 50+ times.

I can't wait to watch the other three movies with the commentary, it gives a really great point of view on the movies... which probably makes it even better. Too bad Ridley Scott made so much hints towards Alien 5. I really hope Prometheus brings something new to the Alien storyline. I think we deserve this as fans of the franchise.

Michael Fassbender to Star Opposite Noomi Rapace in Ridley Scott's 'Prometheus'
26 January 2011

Michael Fassbender will star opposite Noomi Rapace in Prometheus, Fox's sci-fi project that was once an Alien prequel.

Ridley Scott is directing the movie, which just shifted release dates, moving from a March 2012 berth to a high-profile summer release of June 8, 2012.

Much of the story line is shrouded by secrecy, but Scott said the movie will have "Alien DNA." Fassbender is playing an android.

Fassbender, repped by CAA, was one of the breakouts from Inglourious Basterds, booking several high-profile roles off that film, including that of Magneto in Fox's X-Men: First Class.

He was offered the Prometheus role last year (when it was still the Alien prequel), with talks on and off throughout the fall. Fassbender also flirted with Universal's Snow White and the Huntsman, but now that he has booked Prometheus, that dance is over.

Ridley Scott's 'Prometheus' Gets High-Profile Summer Release Date
26 January 2011

Twentieth Century Fox originally planned to release the high-profile sci-fi in spring 2012.

Twentieth Century Fox has decided to give Ridley Scott’s Prometheus a high-profile summer release, moving the tentpole from March 9, 2012 to June 8, 2012.

Prometheus essentially switches places with Disney’s live-action pic John Carter of Mars, which recently moved onto the March 9 date after Disney pushed Tim Burton’s 3D stop-motion feature Frankenweenie back to Oct. 5. Frankenweenie had staked out the March 9 date well before Prometheus came along.

Prometheus—which has morphed from being an Aliens prequel to original sci-fi tentpole—stars Noomi Rapace, star of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.

Damon Lindelof is working together with Scott on the new script, which was originally written by Jon Spaihts and based on an idea by Scott.

Exclusive: Prometheus Plot Reveal - Aliens Are In It
27 January 2011

It turns out that Ridley Scott's recent comments that Prometheus would be a departure from the Aliens series are somewhat misleading.

An exclusive source has told us that not only are HR Giger's classic aliens in it, but that they're integral to the plot.

Mere hours after the announcement that Michael Fassbender is locked in to play an android with rumoured links to Aliens' Bishop series, our insider sources have revealed that he's not the only one with strong links to the series' past.

"They’ve built the ‘space jockey’ cockpit at Pinewood as seen in the original Alien film, so it definitely takes place in the same world as Alien", they told us.

"Despite that press release that seemed to indicate there were no aliens in the movie, the familiar HR Giger-style aliens do appear. Big ones apparently."

And as for Scott's comments noting that "keen fans will recognise strands of Alien's DNA"?

It turns out there was the slightest hint of misdirection - apparently the actual DNA of the xenomorphs is integral to the plot - and will see the cast jet off to the alien homeworld itself.

"Part of the film will be shot in Morocco. I’ve heard that some sort of archaeological dig where they discover alien DNA takes place there and that DNA gives them the coordinates for an alien world. I’ve also heard Morocco is being used for alien planet landscapes so I’m not sure if it’s an archaeological dig on another planet," they revealed.

It gets weirder too, with Damon Lindelof's script set to crank up the sci-fi angle to maximum effect.

"The main spaceship in the film will be piloted by an enormous head which I assume will be CGI. Yep, sounds weird but I assume some of the technology will be sort of biomechanical."

Aliens... Alien planet... Biomechanical stuff, digging sites... Space ship... Android, Alien linked story...


I wish I could take a one year sleep. I'm exited for this, actually. But still pissed off for the unclear manner in which the news was told.

I think it's time we join hands... and sing a few prayers....

"let this be true... let this be true..."

ha ha,big aliens,we will see what came out of that space jockey.i was freakin'sure they were misleading us.mindfuck all the way

http://www.denofgeek.com/movies/746737/ridley_scotts_prometheus_put_back_michael_fassbender_linked.html

the ship's name?

Prometheus as in the greek mythology... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prometheus ... my guess... a movie about stealing technology from alien civilizations... mirroring Prometheus stealing fire from the Gods...??

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein had a second title... The Modern Prometheus.... that also sprang to thought.

no i thought of that,searched prometheus on wikipedia before i posted to be sure there isn't something in the legend i missed.it's got to be something in the movie with that name,something big in the plot

i think the tile prometheus is a cover name for an alien film personally

To quote myself first:



Then this:



And if HR Giger really working for movie again, then it will look awesome for sure!

in the leaked script the original space jockey ship carried small ant alien eggs.a small face hugger ended up on the ship when they loaded the eggs.that facehugger frenched the spacejockey and so a giant alien queen came out of him.that alien then went to the cargo,ate all the small alien eggs and made then the ones we saw in the movie.after the alien queen laid down in some sort of fetal position and turn into a big mass of that clay substance we saw in the movies..


this is original artwork from pre=production on the first alien.if the aliens are big,then they come from the spacejockeys
