I keep writing this but the SJ spaceships connect into a larger ship. I don't think the two SJ Space ships in Alien and Pro are identical. Look at their end tips of the horse shoe. The SJ ships grow change slightly, their ships and detach to go create, capture, and merge life. They re-dock to a larger ship that orbits sectors of the univers (see star map) to exchange/merge dna/life.

@mw3, i think your theory is most accurate. lol

No love for the "Corsair Star Cruiser" flown by John-Boy? Maybe I'm reading too much into it....but to me its in Giger territory for "suggestiveness".... [img]http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u44/lespaul_photos/battlebeyond1.jpg[/img] And guess who worked on this movie...

Alien3 has moments, but I can't imagine how the studio ever agreed to allowing the Newt character to be written out of the franchise--just a huge mistake. Bigger mistake: making your main character immune to the danger of your monster. (Maybe that sounded better on the page, but it absolutely sucked the life out of the Ripley story arc. Terrible decision.) Also, big mistake not utilizing a wider environment on Fiorina--getting the story outside, and especially in space. I understand the type of film Fincher wanted to make, but these failures are partially on him. An Alien film needs a SF director, or at minimum, a geek that gets it. Fincher and Jeaunet, for as brilliant as they both are as filmmakers, they were inspired choices, but probably not good choices for those films.

I always like her crazy sense of humour and this made me love her even more!

I would have to study the trailers (again), but weren't each of those ancient cultures wipped out? Their dominance ended (king died).

Well maybe not millions actually, I wasn't thinking about the math when I said that.

Sovereign is the Vanguard of the entire Reaper Fleet/Race there are thousands of them, possibly millions.

It took me ages to see what youre seeing but I really dont think its actually anything...just a coincidence that it looks a bit like a big xenomorphs hand? I outlined what I see - [img]http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/6973/111111wy.png[/img]

Excellent theory Necronomicon IV. Ive actually heard similar theories quite a few times this week.

I still wonder... what would the wooden monastery be like. I could just imagine them refusing to fight and being tested/punished by ghawd haha

oh wow. :P

You can't go from a movie centered on one xeno, to [i]hordes[/i] of them -including a gigantic queen- then back to just one. In terms of audience expectations, that was never going to work.

Personally I hope its not the same planet that's in Alien. It seems strange that they would wait 30 years before finding out the fate of Prometheus, especially if Mr Wayland is indeed aboard. I also find it hard that the Nostromo picked up that signal on a shipping lane that others past by. In the script they were 10 months off course.... the plot thickens Muuhaha

see this before a few years back , this is cool , love this as a poster

Let's not forget, the picture they see is of a humanoid with a rather long odd arm pointing to some dots on the wall. From what I can see, these mutated people grow rather long limbs so maybe it was a warning (aliens can be so vague sometimes).

The Terminator was Cameron's 1st movie. The production company made him cast Arnie, which.... lets face it ruined his idea of an 'infiltration unit' all they had to do was be on the lookout for an Olympia. (no dog required.) I often wonder if Cameron wasn't sleeping with Gale Hurd would he have even been the director on that movie or even Aliens.

@CanadaPhil. I took a shot everytime you used the words "giney" and I want to say thank you!

dave went ape shit and killed lots of ppl so they had to recall all of them dave-8;s thats y thay went tits up......

I can't be sure, but it sounded like, "DIE" to me as if she's been through all this harrowing stuff, the ship has crashed, and this damn thing is still tormenting her.

Hilarious. My opinion of Charlize Theron just went up a few notches. Thanks for sharing.

@Macs: No. She gets the c-section and then she slowly walks through the corridor stumbling towards the rest of the crew... (you can see the scar in her belly in that part). When she gets to them she falls to her knees and tells them what happened... that's when she utters the phrase "I was wrong, we were so wrong... I'm so sorry...". BTW... The person getting that tentacle in his arm is Fifield. That thing changes him into a Xeno/human hybrid...

She has a great sense of humor. I loved it.

It does look like four fingers, or maybe three fingers and a thumb. But didn't the "Alien" xeno "hand" have six fingers......four fingers of equal length in the middle, and one smaller digit on each side?

its just what he uses to fly the ship......or it could be thats his jizz gun that he seeds planets with with that black stuff thats in them pot things....or it could be like a sat dish that he sends a signal to call his mum on......i think its just to fly his ship.....but who knows?...

@namtraz: I thought the same way. If the SJ have climate altering tech is logical to think that during the Prometheus/SJ conflict this tech may end up broken and the planet's atmosphere was messed up because of it...

.... Dormin the The Reaper Sovereign, looks cool

@Outlander: "DIE"? I thought she screamed "GEWWWWDDDD!!!!!!" (or GOOOODDDD!!!) in the last TV spot while being pinned by a SJ/human mutant (Holloway?)...

When you see it you'll shit brix.

When it comes out I'm going to make a thread saying "omg this happens and that happens" but it will all be bull$hit.... so when you do go see it you'll like.... "that lying *****!!!" haha

IS A XENOMORPH CLAW!!!! You can see it grasping the ceiling... is a left xeno hand at the left side of the image... I can see the 2 nail pattern at the end of the fingers and the skeletal shape of the hand... It is covered by some kind of web... amazing find!!!

I bet the "Medical Pod" scene is just a dream sequence involving Shaw.,,.

centrosphere, you nailed it. How many times have we read the books (in fact, I think I read "Alien" before I saw it, IIRC) and STILL go to see the movie(s) (Harry Potter, anyone?).... We'll all be fine, no matter how much we find out. AND, most of it...yeah, MOST...will NOT be true.

can one of people outline something , still not seeing any thing Gem]n[ your good at that........ right ? or maybe you don`t see any thing also

Haha ... you guys see the CLOVERFIELD face in the clouds in the image I posted? ... above the RT vehicle ...

Although I rarely do any pop media art (or [i]fan[/i] art), I actually would love to do some Prometheus inspired art at some point. Maybe if I get some free time--although most likely "spacegirl" takes on Shaw or Vickers. Perhaps when we have more reference material--I dunno. I DO hope that the film will inspire a lot of cool stories and art. Seems the Alien films were always good with that. I remember [b][i]Deadliest of the Species[/i][/b] rather well. That was a great story, and would have made better film for the AvP universe. Too bad they didn't have the nuts to do that. Anyone have [b]Aliens: Lovesick[/b] by Richard Forgues (Forg)? [img]http://images.darkhorse.com/covers/300/a/allv.jpg[/img]

I can see it, though I must admit that I see what I want to sometimes... Looks like clawed fingers to me, either facehugger or zeno hand-ish. Nice catch! I completely missed it.
