In pic #2, doesn't the architecture look familiar? smile

It looks very familiar. I'm really looking forward to this movie. I'm really curious as to how it'll tie into the Alien franchise. It'll be great (I hope).

I'm getting more and more excited about a movie set in that universe and time frame, but not about the usual Alien conflict. Fleshing out the time in general is really going to be fun and good sci if. Maybe good enough to kick off a big budget epic sci fi renaissance?

I like the direction he's takin'. A fresh perspective on a familiar universe.

Having just rewatched Alien and Blade Runner in the past couple of months, I'm also eager to see him finally return to SF.
I'm not getting my hopes up for an "Alien" story though. I think he's tried hard enough to debunk that.

Well this took me by surprise...

WARNING: MAJOR SPOILER

Click to reveal..

No Xenomorphs in Prometheus!!??

Quote by Ridley Scott

Quote:
No. Absolutely not. They squeezed it dry. He (the xenomorph) did very well. (He laughs) He survived, he’s now in Disneyland in Orlando, and no way am I going back there. How did he end up in Disneyland? I saw him in Disneyland, Jesus Christ!

I have very little doubt that "Prometheus" will be a fantastic sci-fi film and I'm glad that they are taking this in some new directions instead of re-treading old ground. If Scott wasn't involved though I'd be much more apprehensive.

I don't see why that would be a surprise. It's NOT called Alien: Prometheus after all.

Silly me...

Yeah, I missed the change in direction:

Quote:
Was originally intended as a prequel to Ridley Scott's Alien, but Scott decided to turn it into an original film with Noomi Rapace (who was already set to star in the prequel) still in the cast as one of five main characters. Some time later however it was confirmed that while the movie will take place in the same universe as Alien, and greatly reference that movie, it will, for the bigger part, be an original movie and not a direct prequel
