Hi all, I've been a fan of the original since I saw it at the drive-in as a boy. It scared yet fascinated me intensely and has become my all-time favorite movie. It's great to see so many like-minded people here anticipating Prometheus and discussing the original. Thanks for putting up a great sight! J

Hi there, Im a huge fan of the Alien franchise, and Predator franchice (though not the AvP franchise!). I think the first time I saw Alien was when I was 4 - not the best bed-time viewing for a young kid lol. Also used to be a hardcore AvP gamer. I've been anticipating something from Sir Scott for a while now, and looks like he definitely wont disappoint :). I think Ridley s one of the best directors out there and Im a great fan of his other works too - Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven, etc etc

Hi all, I guess I'm just your average middle aged fan boy, since being scared senseless by O'Bannon's/Giger's/Scott's collective story/design/vision since the late '70s. Like everyone else, I'm greatly anticipating this movie's release and hope it lives up to everyones expectations...

Hello fellow Prometheus-enthusiasts, I was only 5 or 6 years old when I saw my first "Alien" movie. I clearly remember the scenes where one of the inmates (forgot his name, sorry) on Fiorina 161 gets "sucked" into one of the air vents and was shredded to pieces, and the 2nd jaw of the alien coming from it's mouth. Those scenes scared the hell out of me and I couldn't sleep for weeks; I looked for the alien at my grandma's house, I avoided the "Aliens" toys at our local toy store (wish I hadn't), etc. When I was 12 or so I watched the first movie and it blew me away. The story, the characters, the soundtrack, the lighting, the claustrophobic spaces, the alien of course, it all seemed real or plausible. It still is my favourite SF-movie of all time and I encourage all my friends to see it. I'm 24 now and May 30 is rapidly becoming the most important date of 2012 to me. I'm even doing a presentation about Ridley Scott at my school in a few weeks and i'm definitely going to show them one of the Prometheus trailers (the IMAX trailer perhaps? Any thoughts?) I'm not a person who goes to cinemas very often (last one I saw was Avatar and it didn't live up to my expectations, despite the amazing visuals) but for this one I'm willing to camp in line, not only because Ridley Scott is directing it, but also because I just know this movie cannot fail. It will be everything we hoped for and more. I hope this information pleases you all. Ps: sorry about possible spelling mistakes; English isn't my native tongue, Dutch is. Greetings from Belgium!

Hello, I saw Aliens first and the scene in which Ripley has her nightmare scared the crap out of me. I was hooked. I sat down and watched Alien and the nightmares began. I remember my parents taking me to see Alien3, I was so excited and then disappointed with it when Newt and Hicks didn't make it through the opening credits. I don't even want to discuss Ressurection. I now have a Xeno tattooed on my right lower leg and cannot wait for this film to open! The theories that are tossed around on this site are amazing, so entertaining. I really want the claxon/ scream sound from the trailers as my ringtone!

Hi there! Mr Frosty here, I am a long time Alien fan and have been looking forward to the Prometheus film for ages. I own all the films with their directors cuts, all the PC video games and also collected a lot of the comic books when I was a nipper. I am really excited about what the new film is going to show us about the backstory of the Alien universe. Glad to be here...

Hello to everyone, glad to be a part of this great website... Cannot wait until the movies release, all indications are that it will be just as fantastic as ALIEN which IMHO was the finest SciFi movie ever made and still to this day scares the crap out of me... I confess that I did read the leaked script and I believe it true as there are so many indicators in the trailers, some of which were not seen until after the script surfaced, anyhow we'll all find out soon enough...

Hello All! I must say I am impressed in this Prometheus community! It is awesome to know how many diehard Alien (and franchise) fans there are out in the world! I too have been a long time fan of Scott's original, including Cameron's Aliens. However judgemental of 3 and Ressurection, I still love to watch them all. AVP, eh... not so much. HR Giger is and always has been an inspiration to me as an artist. As a lover of the macabre and dark art, he surely is a master. I cannot wait to see what he has to offer in Prometheus! It was a wise decision for Ridley to come full circle with Giger! So, I've read up on a lot of members ideas on the plot of Prometheus, and I think a lot of you have some great points! I for one think this movie is going to center around life and death, immortality and dna in general. We shall see! Nice to be apart of this group, look forward to meeting you all.

I've never been so excited to have a film like this. After watching the first teaser, I could not sleep, and after the main trailer on March 17, I broke my head :) Polish fan

Hi, I'm a musician from the UK. Fan of Alienm since my dad let me watch it when I was 10. I had to go to bed, then he came and woke me up. I drew alien pictures for about a year afterwards. Scott's directorial style with this movie has definately influenced my own creative output as a proffessional musician - sparse, understated, less is more, desolate.. Click below for an example..

i'm excited about Prometheus. this is the doppelganger to the Star Trek Disney-esque future. i bet that when we do finally go to Mars and beyond it will be on the dime of a massive corporation looking to score some serious mineral rights, etc you fan boys scare me. i don't want to hear any more about the movie. blah blah blah wahhhhhh i can't hear you anymore i can only take so much of the speculation before i worry that it might ruin the movie experience. i hope you guys don't ruin it for yourselves

Good Day! Nice to be here. I think I'm in the right place as I can see that there are many passionate fans about the Alien Universe, and everyone seems as obsessed as I am in regards to the Prometheus saga that is about to unfold before us in a few (agonizingly slow) months. Here is to great discussion, polite debate, and interesting ideas/speculation. After all, it is all we have to sustain us.

Hello all. Firstly i would just like to say thank you to the creators of this awesome site. I spend a good few hours reading all of the post's with great intrest. Some of the ideas (in the up coming movie or not) are great. I have been a keen alien/aliens fan since i saw it the first time back on VHS, which i still have the copy of. I can not wait for prometheus to wow us and keep us talking for another 20 years. Mr Scot you are a true genius.

Hi, Im totally brand new to all this Forum stuff so hope i dont commit any faux pas. By new i think i should clarify, not once have i ever joined a forum....ever, so interesting times for me. I love ALIEN, ALIENS and AvP requiem ( sorry i just really liked that film in-spite of myself) er oh and additionally really liked PREDATORS too. Im getting insanely into this film i cant wait, i have a strong feeling that it will rock. I think that the caliber of cast and crew will pay dividends to the result and Ridley Scott is the cherry on the cake......and the icing. I keep thinking back to when The Dark Knight was released, i had been chomping at the bit to see it and all the hype and trailers and interviews were torture, then, once bathed in all the Imax glory, i was blown away, it feels like that all over again very exciting. This site is a diamond in the rough too, very absorbing.

Hey guys, "Alien" bieng my favorite sci-fi franchise, I'm sure I'll love "Prometheus". Hope, I'm not too much informed about the plot of the film by all that trailers. I'd prefer R-rated cut, but unfortunately Fox decided to make more money and it'll be PG-13. Well, let's be optimistic.

Hi people, I am from the UK and I am new here. I am really looking forward to this movie! In my opinion Alien is the best movie of the franchise by far. I liked Aliens too, but thought they kind of tailed off from Alien and bordered on comedy too much in parts of the movies. I guess I just liked the fact it was serious, gritty and dark compared to the others, it made it more believable. I saw the build up before the very first teaser trailer for Prometheus was released on Itunes upcoming movies. As soon as I heard Ridley Scott was back on board and involved in making this movie, I have been looking it up every day since for news! Roll on 73 days time. I am sure it will be a classic!

Hi there, I'm new to the site, but not new to the "Alien" universe. I begged my mom at age 8 to drag me out to see Alien (my first "R" movie, lol) and she never forgave me. Been a MONSTER fan ever since, and have been following the Prometheus lines for at least a year. I don't think I've been as excited about an upcoming movie since maybe the original Alien or perhaps SWEpIII... I see so much wonder and vision in this movie. I can only wish that RS would do a bang bang bang trilogy perhaps leading into Alien...or not. Thanks for the great site...

Howdy everyone! I've been a peeper on this site for a while now and I finally signed up. hmm I guess I should say a little about me, I like Movies (obviously) music, fine art, history, outer space (mostly because of childhood.) I have to say one of my first memory's is of the TV ad campaign for Alien, I remember my Aunt telling all about the movie when I had no idea that we even were on a planet or what an alien was.... let me tell you it blew my mind as a 2 year old. haha

Morning all, I just singned up after hanging around for a while now. Big fan of Ridley Scott, and most of the Alien movies. Would have given a body part to work on Prometheus but never got a foot in the door. I am a concept Artist/Designer/Modeller etc. I have done a few little things in TV but would like to get into movies one day. If you want you can check out my site here www.lee-ray.com. I read the leaked sypnopsis last year while they were filming and must admit I was blown away just by the ideas in the single page, lord knows what the full movie is going to be like but so far it seems to be looking like its going down the route of the outline which I am encouraged by. Looking forward to some informed debate and also some wild speculation as you usually get with these type of movies. Thanks for to the mods for putting this site together and for having me. cheers Lee aka Mr. Ventham

I'm semi-retired now, but I used to make websites for music and movie companies in Hollywood. I'm a big fan of all the Alien movies, and all of Ridley Scott's work. I think that Scott is like Prince, who can play a zillion different instruments, in that he is very talented in many aspects of film making, not just directing.

Hello everyone! I was 4 or 5 when ALIEN came out. I didn't see it untill it was on TV a year or two later, but I got the Kenner ALIEN figure for Christmas and was obsessed with the creature the whole time and even made a little book about the alien (I guess it would classify as fan fiction). Upon actually watching ALIEN, I was emotionally scarred and have been a devoted fan ever since.

Hi, I have been a victim of the Alien series since 1979 at around 8 pm on a cold and windy night in Albuquerque N.M.. It is my favorite Sci Fi anything since I was a kid! Thanks for creating this site. "From a humble being does one come, as night grows dark and life emerges." Paul Hodell
