I've been saying for a while in discussions with other Alien fans that this is a franchise that could certainly do with being broadened. If the links are there and this movie does indeed have a definite link to the Alien movie continuity, I'll be a very happy man indeed.
I think we're fortunate that we've had a franchise spanning four films, two of which have been almost universally loves, while the others divide opinions. With the AvP movies, we were definitely at risk of seeing the films descend into 'People encounter monsters, die horrible deaths, everything blows up, the end.'


Couldnt agree more HdE, well said that man! ^^^^^
Regarding the question of wether Prometheus is an Alien prequel or not, i seem to remember, many moons ago, reading a interview with Scott about Bladerunner, when the question of would he ever be interested in doing a sequel, came up. Scott's reply was he wasnt that interested in going down the obvious route and following Deckards story as such, but there was elements/background details in the film that he would be very interested in expanding upon, and that would be the basis of his sequel.
With Prometheus, it would appear this is his thinking for prequels as well.


Come on Fox, and get ya arse in gear and release the bloody trailer!!

thats one spooky looking poster, i am so jazzed for this movie it cant come quick enough.  What are big Heads that look like humans doing in deep space???? (if you've read the leaked synopsis you'll know but i strongly suggest you dont go searching as it ruins several big idea's and set pieces of the movie)

Things seem to be moving up a gear for Prometheus, first a teaser poster, then the trailer going out to various film boards to be rated - some sources say a release is imminent, but no sign as yet, new production stills released in france, and this curious quote from Ridley Scott - "The crew of the Prometheus follow a perplexing message to a planet that will open their eyes and their chests to a new alien race".

Mmmm...........

I don't know if you've all seen this, but get to the point where it looks like a space jockey standing up and look at the familiar looking implement on his shoulder. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVpuylSVjyU&feature=related

Not sure if that's an official concept piece or fan-art, it was never confirmed.

the giant human face and the "search for our beginning could lead to our end" tagline is interesting.

Surely it's not going to be so naff as to say the Space Jockey is the Pre-dater of the Predator?

Watched a bit of of J J Abrams re boot of Star Trek so you never know this prequel might be good though they are very different Films.
