Shit, they dont have to tell me twice! LOL

I think it's likely that the film will not be a strict retelling of the Prometheus myth, but an explanation of how the myth came to be. That is, ancient humans interacting with godlike aliens did their best to describe events and retold the story for thousands of years until it was written down by the Greeks. Where the film deviates from the myth is where we'll find Shaw and the other characters coming to horrible realizations about the true nature of the Prometheus figure and those who imprisoned/punished him.

They did say they were leaving. The footage we have shows prometheus crashing into the bone ship. Prior to that a pod was ejected. Possibly with survivors. No doubt in my mind that the space jerks were on the way to earth to destroy it. Shaw did say. "We wont have any home to go back to". And since the jockeys specialize in bio tech. I'm assuming that's how they were gonna attack humanity.

so shooting in the legs every technician on the way for you home was not enough huh sparty ? Welcome back !

Hummm ...the telepathic big head dont sound very cool .... in general telepathy is one of the less scaring things in horror movies ( imo )

@Darwin Nice theory about the organism growing outside her belly. But the leaked trailer footage of Shaw's belly rapidly expanding leads me to believe it grows inside her. Either way it would be interesting. @Prom_queen Have you seen the American version of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"? If so, do you feel that the violent rape scene was in bad taste or made the film worse? (Just curious at a woman's perspective...not trying to argue or prove any points.)

I thought he said "Drake!...we are leaving!" He he.

@Kane ... I got that image from ... Prometheus - Trailer 1 [1080 HD] [22 Dec 2011] [iTunes] @ about 0.39 secs ...

Just programed it into the TiVo. Thanks for the heads up man :D

BUT in the same respect though ... and even weirder ... hold ya breathe ... that's not a MALE on the table is it? ... those legs look a bit 'muscley' don't they? ... what's to say they are not trying to use both sexes (for experiements) ... in other words may not be just ONE person on the MedLab tables ... we only see one in the trailers ... Also ... are we're not really going down the route ... 'And God (Male) Made Man' ? ... I tryin to get into Giger's mind here ... don't want to go any further really ... lol ...

@Prom ... Oh God no ... not at all ... that would be cinema suicide on this movie ... no ... just tryin' to throw ideas out that 'may' expand on the theories that we all have here ... ;) ...

@Mark, how do you know NASA wasn't followingclues left in a cave?

We are talking of Sir Ridley Scott ...... Giger have done a mural ...the squid removed from the belly of shaw is the "embarassing" thing ... dont worry there will not be any tentacle hentai sex scene , that things are only in crap'adolla style movies .

Yea thank you Jason8, I knew there was another system that made more sense...appreciate that tidbit...I Just Love that whole show, have the whole thing and it's all awesome.

Melts in your mouth; not on your face!

freakin cool! And did you read? A "white chocolate" facehugger inside...wonder if this was an april fool's prank that's just now circulating???

???????? Its just a link to a jpg. It works fine for me from within here?? Its just a bigger, cleaner version of this... [img]http://collider.com/wp-content/uploads/prometheus-movie-image.jpg[/img] Here... just try manually entering this in your browsers url field. You can blow this jpg up quite nicely to see much detail... http://collider.com/wp-content/uploads/prometheus-movie-image.jpg

Who are you ? Snork , Bio ..you know this guy ?

Concerning #5, if I follow your logic they would have used 8 seconds. One of the oldest counting systems, used by the Harapan culture of the Indus valley was base 8. We also have many instances of base 8 from the ancient world including the musical octave that was inspired by the number of the heavenly bodies. I am sure I could think of other instances.

CanadaPhil: I don't see anything when I follow your link. What am I doing wrong?

Didn't Ridley intend to have some sort of 'spores' being stumbled accross by the crew in the original Alien. In an interview it has also been stated that this is what would have happened to the crew of the Nostromo if they had stayed on the Derelict.... Could the Engineers species be waiting for humans to stumble accross them to release their spores so that they can feed on the humans and grow, or use the humans bodies to develop, etc??....

Ok ok...I get it Prometheus not only trying to give us new technology but also creation of a race of Man on earth. Just that if derelict was leaving for Earth when it crashed, why would it return to Earth if it already been there generations before? Or is the SJ's ship a different race/function than the 'saucer'?

*******Limited Engagement******* CHAIR CHAMBER with special guests BIG GEEZER and THE TURRET sorry Gem, couldn't help myself

Yo Yo Yo and a bottle of Bump !

I count "Star Wars" and the such as space opera. Just fun westerns/serials in space.

That alien Illustrated story link.....that gif has been stuck in my head all fucking morning.

I wasn't born when BladeRunner was initially released. (Born in 83.) Yet, its my second favorite Sci-Fi film. (ALIEN is the first.) Its just a matter of taste/opinion.

That thing the image says looks broken is just the strange elephantine helmet that is open. When SJ sits down, the helmet comes down and the sides of the chair close.

OT - Great, someone else has my Avatar, On topic - Who gonna be Pandora? Vickers or Shaw?

She could be implying "they" as a race. (i.e. the space jockeys.) But they're could only be one SJ in the movie. Time will tell...

Interesting theory. But the whole Star-Map with a catalog of EVERYTHING is already in the Vessels "memory"?? This link will show you a hi-rez still of the Holo-Map from the viral marketing site...

Jesscat, The derelecit definately undocks either from the "mother ship" whose round outline can be seen as Prometheus approaches for a landing or .....................from the top of one of the pyramids. There may be a derelict ship within each of the pyramids. Just a thought.

I thought they said, "They were leaving."

Yes.. It takes TWO !

You can see many of these eel-like creatures on a mural-like set, seen in a picture taken during the Iceland filming last summer. I agree that these creatures are likely the same as those on the Giger painting. It seems that a lot in the film is based on the original Giger's work on Alien (and I think that is appropriate because it is Giger's mind who was the source of all of this). I personally believe that the creature may feed on Shaw's liver (stiches on picture are on the right side) through an umbilical and may grow outside the body . In the Greek myth the eagle was eating the liver which was growing again and so on every day.

Too late... Been brought up already in a couple topics. Most recently, this one.... [url=http://www.prometheus-movie.com/community/forums/topic/2864#30931]Your text to link here...[/url]

There are loop holes in real life, if you bother to look for them. That being said, I would speculate that the Company had incomplete information gathered 37 years earlier. They knew the organism was something formidable, but were ignorant to its true nature. Admittedly the Nostromo was ill equipped to deal with this creature. Perhaps their proximity to the signal, and their inconspicuity made them the ideal ship to take a sample, in secret. Could the orders to take the specimen have come from a covert faction of the Company? I agree that Ash was probably speculating, and maybe more, after all, Ash was a very advanced computer capable of precise analysis but he also had something of the poet in him, as well as personality and humor.

Am I missing something or are we not counting Star Wars (1977) or Empire Strikes Back (1980) as SciFi films? I'm almost 40, and if I remember correctly, after SW hit big the studios were pumping out S/F films at the cyclic rate to try and ride the wave. That first Trek snooze-fest was originally supposed to be a revival of the series, wasn't it? The Black Hole and Outland are two movies prior to Blade Runner that I think might not have been made without the renewed interest. I like BR, but I definitely have to be in the mood to watch it. Not a film I'd pop in the Blu ray player to kill time on a Saturday afternoon.

People try hard to sell speculations as facts :p .... i think the one of Fifield is just a secondary plot ...he surely mutate but the holloway-shaw thing is another matter .

Here's a thread I started about the differences in what appears to be the same scene from different trailers. I didn't touch on the fire/no fire thing, but that is a part of the same conversation really.
