Yes! Just posted a news article about this. I guess my theory of the trailer being released this month may turn out to be correct! Great job [b]Theusprom[/b]!

tarPrometheus ForumPrometheus Grey Matter and Canisters
All I can really offer at the moment is speculation, but, that does seem to be all we do anyway ( Haha)! The first thing that I thought was if the Space Jockeys were in fact the owners of the "Grey Matter" and use it to develop new forms of life like the Zenomorph or maybe even at one time, ourselves? That would explain Ridleys hints about the film asking us questions about where we come from.

The Alien life form have little in common with humans ( except the shape ) but its more like an animal or an insect . Its surely not a crossbreed between two very intelligent life forms . that said i think that the canisters , eggs , grey/green matter have a pivotal place in the plot ( thats what the footage suggest , however it can be misleading and part of ridley "smoke in your face" campaign ). I dont think there will be something like a crew mutation since it was a bit abused in the movies lately ( district 9 ) .

RickPrometheus ForumPrometheus Grey Matter and Canisters
Frantz, I have to disagree. Giger incorporated a human skull into the skull of the Xeno. Not to mention bipedal locomotion (amongst mammals) with natural symmetry is something that is rare in nature. Plus opposing thumbs even though it had 5 fingers. Knee joint, elbows, wrists, neck, ankles, shoulders, and waist can not all be simply coincidence. What if the the grey matter is nanite suspension. I mean Giger likes to combine biological with mechanical, so keeping with Gigers theme Nano technology would be key to altering DNA, and Alien DNA is supposed to be key to the movie. That is the only way I see it being possible to convert humans. Regards, Rick See Below ( http://www.ask.com/wiki/DNA) DNA nanotechnology uses the unique molecular recognition properties of DNA and other nucleic acids to create self-assembling branched DNA complexes with useful properties.[133] DNA is thus used as a structural material rather than as a carrier of biological information. This has led to the creation of two-dimensional periodic lattices (both tile-based as well as using the "DNA origami" method) as well as three-dimensional structures in the shapes of polyhedra.[134] Nanomechanical devices and algorithmic self-assembly have also been demonstrated,[135] and these DNA structures have been used to template the arrangement of other molecules such as gold nanoparticles and streptavidin proteins.[136]

[b]Rick[/b] I'm waiting to see if that skull has any significance! It should be interesting. I really hope the grey matter is used as a sort of Genetic mutagen, I think that aspect would really add an origina edge to the plot.

In Spaiths version of the script, The Growers were something I thought of as I read it as the Space Jockey's themselves. They were the ones that sent the Space Jockey to LV-426 to begin with IMO. That said, it is entirely plausible that the Growers have been using the canisters, to harvest the creatures to assist with Controlled Terra Forming. This was the impression I got from that script to begin with. Juts an observation, I may be entirely wrong but it sure looks like I'm not from what all of you said.

maybe is just the crew that THINK to find the answer to life on earth but instead they find and almost dead biomechanical civilization that want to wipe out life from the galaxy ( abit like the necrons in wh40k )..maybe in the urns there is the DNA of ancient civilizations offered to the "gods" after they were wiped out .

These are all very great ideas everyone! I especially like [b]Rick[/b]'s take on the "matter" where he said: [quote]What if the the grey matter is nanite suspension. I mean Giger likes to combine biological with mechanical, so keeping with Gigers theme Nano technology would be key to altering DNA, and Alien DNA is supposed to be key to the movie. That is the only way I see it being possible to convert humans. [/quote] VERY good theory [b]Rick[/b]. I like how you tied it in with the vague synopsises released by FOX - whatever they did give us to work with, regarding the DNA aspect. I also especially like your take [b]Frantz[/b], about how the jars contain the genetic code of previous species which had been wiped out. Very imaginative! It would be interesting to find out if this was the case; that these jars are a form of storage of life - keys to unlocking life itself. It does tie in with the general focus for the film, so I don't see why not. I have to say though, I don't doubt for a minute that we could be "off" in our assumptions. I think we will be very surprised how much we "guessed" that will turn out to be accurate come time for Prometheus' release. I'm curious to hear what other theories lie out there in the minds of our fans! Keep posting your thoughts!

I can't wait to see what happens! I assume some sort of sabotage will take place on the ship. Group of scientists - fantastic discovery - [b]Now who to test it on?[/b] I'll place a bet one of the crew infects another to discover the properties of the Green Goo/Grey matter.

Ghost SolitarePrometheus ForumPrometheus Grey Matter and Canisters
If the film is to be completely original,and not just rehashing the politics, and devious nature of the human species we would not see any of the predictable plot possibilities. Imagine what happens to a species that has travelled the stars, perfected medical science to the point that immortality and physical perfection are mere options rather than dreams. A species that has tinkered with the evolution of countless evolving lifeforms on different worlds. Lacking our limited mentality they did not suffer from greed, boredom, or avarice. They advanced past thinking of wars and conquest, and abandonned further exploration because a cultural ennui settled upon them. Having done everything imaginable they turned inwards. Death being the last unexplored territory left to them, the xenomorph or something similar being the ultimate tool for enabling an entire species to just vanish. Flash forward to a small group of explorers from Earth, finding the remnants of this civilization, who can say what the state of decay might be, or if there are any remaining examples of this godlike race left alive. One can only imagine what this being would think of us. This race just setting it's feet upon a path it's own kind had travelled for eons. It could range from the tender nurturing behavior of a true Gaia, to a much darker jealousy that it has reached the end of the line for an entire culture. It would be hard to surrender the cradle of life to another when you come from a race that has lain in it for so very, very long. So it matters not if it is by design, or by accident that this terror is unleased. All that matters is how we deal with it.

That was some funny shit, I commend your knightly joust! It's just like that hidden scene in Alien where after the alien hits the box with the cat in it, then opens it and hugs Ripleys pussy! Hey, how many aliens does it take to screw in a light bulb? None, cause they like to see in the dark! Why didn't the space cockey cross the road? Cause he couldn't find the zipper? What to you call space men who have lost their minds? Astronuts! What came first the Xeno or the Egg? The egg cause I didn't say Xeno egg! U.F.O you Fuck Off

I'm sure we can expect something as we lead into December. There's some speculation that we'll see some teaser near the end of October, but no official word from Fox about that yet.

I don't really believe that these creatures like aliens really exists but I love it when film directors make movies out of aliens and other mysterious creatures. I even love the movie Harry Potter since a lot of fascinating creatures were there..:) Anyway just recently I read in an article that the animal actor who performed as Padfoot in the Harry Potter films was abandoned and is currently in an animal shelter in the United Kingdom and is ready for adoption. I found this article here: [url=http://www.newsytype.com/11993-harry-potter-dog-homeless/]Former Harry Potter dog actor homeless [/url]

Ah yes, the subject of ALIEN eroticism. Hey Space-boys, I’ve got to concur with Spartacus on this one. Once one accepts the fact that Hans Ruedi Giger was, and is, is a complete sexual pervert, the sooner we can put this subject to “bed.” The bulk of Giger’s work includes penile, vaginal, mammary, and gratuitous, gluteus ASS shapes. When I say sexual pervert…I thoroughly mean it! H.R. takes the idea of conventional, human sexuality, and twists it into bizarre, grotesque, horrific…yet beautiful and harmonious images. And since I am a fan of sex myself…and probably a pervert as well…I say HUZZAH! WELL DONE “G”! Some of the best times I’ve ever had in the boudoir, could be classified as a little dark or disturbing…or at least shocking. WOW! Didn’t imagine writing about this when I woke up this morning. Anyhoo, I believe that the eroticism or sexual overtones (or undertones) were absolutely intended by the filmmakers…from the beginning: The vaginal openings in the Derelict ship. The Derelict interiors. The Egg and its opening. The oral penetration of the facehugger. The underside features of the facehugger (hopefully, no explanation necessary…) Ashes oral penetration of Ripley with the magazine (WHO DOES THAT?! Ha!). The phallus shaped Alien infant. The even more phallic shaped head of the “Big Guy.” The pornography hanging on the walls of the living quarters. Do we need to go on…? Whatta ya think FRANTZ? Yes…no…maybe? ~Neurion

Ok ok you want WAR then !! and war will be !! ;) The vaginal openings in the Derelict ship. - only if you say to me i will notice ...btw is part of giger stuff ..have no means to the movie . The Derelict interiors. - are bones to me The Egg and its opening. - dude no ..really , i hope you didnt had nothing sexual like this ...is more of a plant ..something like a carnivorous plant . The oral penetration of the facehugger. - again ..they cant use other holes to implang eggs ..and btw that is the only way to give breath ..they do in the hospital too , we call it intubation ( i hope it translate well ) The underside features of the facehugger - i can find you 98473 marine animals that are done in that way or parasites ..and you can find something sexual in every of them Ashes oral penetration of Ripley with the magazine (WHO DOES THAT?! Ha!). - is see like ashes learned by the facehugger how to suffocate people ..as you see he think alot before doing it The phallus shaped Alien infant. - then there are alot of phallic things in the world ..every thing that is a bit round shaped ... to be hones a football ball is more phallic than that The even more phallic shaped head of the “Big Guy.” - no no come on every insect is then a pervert ..that is a great design idea but phallic no come on ..then all the Popes hats have a phallic meaning . The pornography hanging on the walls of the living quarters. - that is a classic of every spaceship movie or war movie ... men beds are always covered with that ..in reality too so who won ??????? :))

Dear Frantz, It was not my intention to start a war with you…or anyone else. Although, I do like your spunk and feistiness. Especially, since France has a reputation of cowardice, I would’ve expected you to tuck tail and run. So, good for you! I like your style! I hope that translates clearly enough for you. Let me see if I can clear this up. Obviously, I’m not the greatest writer, and I’m apparently having a difficult time explaining my point. In my opinion, the psychosexual or pseudoerotic elements that I believe exist in the original ALIEN film, were not intended to be consciously obvious or directly identifiable to the viewer. They are woven through the fabric of the film, in order to create and provoke an emotional and psychological atmosphere that would be conducive to the telling of this strange tale. Most films, especially in the horror genre, are not so clever or well crafted. This is one of the prime reasons that ALIEN has stood the test of time. Like “THE EXOCIST,” it dared to take itself seriously, and thereby transcended the horror film “mold.” That is what separates it from all of the other garbage that has been produced over the past thirty some odd years. Think about it, if a man is infatuated with a woman, and he wants to impress her, it’s probably best not to knock her over the head with the idea. Like ALIEN’s filmmakers, he should create a conducive atmosphere in which to work his champagne. Romance her, charm her, woo her, seduuuuuuce her…then like Ridley Scott…and the Alien, go in for the kill. Well that’s my two cents. Are we still at war...Frantz? Ciao, ~Neurion P.S. Hope you don’t hate me for having a different interpretation than your own. XXXOOO

i was jocking :) thats why i did put the " :D" or " :)" ... i dont think i would be able to get angry about ****heads aliens :D my point is that OFTEN people , expecially journalist , critics in particular , have to write alot ..and so they start to see things that i honestly dont think they exist .. lets do a famous example ... GUERNICA of Picasso ..how many words they did spend on it ? the tragedy of war !! Symbols everywhere !! deep means in every paint drop !! all false !! all words used for nothing !! Picasso did this paint to symbolize the death of a "torero" , it did mean nothing with war while he was doing it ...a friend asked him a paint for a show and he did change the name of the paint ... so books , great words and big means wasted for nothing . I fear that we are doing a bit the same here but then dear friend we are always different people with different views and different tastes , and that is good :)

Hey Frantz, I apologize for misunderstanding your good and fair sense of internet banter and decorum. And I applaud you for not responding in a belligerent manner. You certainly out-classed me this time around. Though I still hold to my opinion regarding the afore mentioned subject, I whole heartedly agree with you in regard to self indulgent journalism by many critics. God help me! I hope I’m not “metamorphosing” into a thing I never wanted to be…A metro-sexual, clown, who spends far too much of my time on the internet, arguing with people I’ve never met…face to face…about a MOVIE! Holy crap…it must be true! Noooooooooooo! Sorry I misjudged you. Also, the translation does read a bit unintelligible sometimes. In addition, some of the :-) or “happy face” symbols do not show up clearly. It’s probably the same on your end :-) Paix, ~Neurion

I think it would be a nice change to see the Captain actually live for once. Idris Elba plays pretty cool characters from what I've seen. HIm and Fassbender's David would be a welcomed surprise. Since Androids in the Alien universe usually get torched, dismembered and damaged in shuttle crashes. lol

Hmm :S I'm not sure how I feel about that. That seems to confirm the whole "SJ with a payload of egg bombs" theory. IE: the Xenos have been genetically engineered by the SJ's as weapons. I'd rather see the crew mutation theory come into play to be honest. ALSO...just a quick addition to that: Xeno's as weapons...that kind of reminds be of AVP a bit too much. *Pukes*
