Engineer Prototype - Model GAJ84
MemberOvomorph12/7/2011I've been looking at the high-res images, mostly the one of the giant head, this one,

and I cant help but think that i've seen those symbols somewhere before, then i came across this,

Its hard to deny the resemblance between the symbols on the giant head and those used by the Yautja (predators).

MemberOvomorph12/7/2011Yeah looking at that pic you could somewhat say, they are similar.
but Predators are in no-way attached to this movie. Predator have absolutely nothing to do with the Alien(Scott) universe. not even Alien 2 3 and 4 have anything to do with this IMO.

MemberOvomorph12/7/2011don't think they're the same. And some, well hidden, links to other movies aren't wrong. As long as you don't see them directly. Predators had some really nice links, according to some people also to alien(I have my doubts about the burning skull).

MemberOvomorph12/7/2011Ridley scott will try to stay away from any kind of relationshio with everything was done after the first alien
Gavin
MemberTrilobite12/7/2011@ Frantz, Ridley Scott has praised James Cameron's sequel Aliens, and James Cameron has stated that he enjoyed AVP, and that he liked the way in which it pre-empted the first two Alien films.
Also take into account that the assumed benign nature of the Space Jockey's is not that dis-similar to that of the Predators shown in AVP. In fact, it is safe to say that this "ancient astronaut" theory is not a new feature to the franchise as a whole.
Frantz
MemberOvomorph12/7/2011he praised cameron because he appreciate him as a director ... he hate ( and he said it alot of times ) the use that was made of the franchise....that was stated clear many times ...you can forget queens , predators and any kind of link to any sequel that was made from the first alien ... he also said that the links between prometheus and Alien will be thin ( same dna , but they also said that alien should not be the sequel of prometheus ) ..lets figure with the others !!
Gavin
MemberTrilobite12/7/2011I think the link between Prometheus and Alien is going to be more obvious than they've stated from the leaked trailer we all saw - we will see the derelict crash, and possibly the Alien born from the Space Jockey.
That said Prometheus will for the most part go its own route using the Space Jockey as a stepping stone to another franchise set within the same universe.
Gavin
MemberTrilobite12/7/2011I agree with the fact that Ridley will not link Prometheus to the other Aliens, Predators or AVP's, but at the same time he will not debunk any established links.
On paper, the franchise and the ideas within do work, on film however there are only 3 and a half decent films (Alien, Aliens, Predator and parts of AVP), the rest just fail to capture the ideas within their scripts.
Frantz
MemberOvomorph12/7/2011yes i think the same ...he will not do the badass and destroy all the other movies theories , hes a gentleman .... but i also think that the downfall of the franchise ( not only in quality but in storytelling , and that start with alien3 with the lowest point in the first AVP ) was a great motivation behind his return to the alien universe .

MemberOvomorph12/7/2011I don't think i'd like to see any Predator ties in the film, the 2 AVP films were a massive let down and Predators wasn't that good. What I would like to see in Prometheus is, Space Jockeys, Androids, The Company & some 'effed up new Xeno.
Gavin
MemberTrilobite12/7/2011@ EP - I think your wish list is almost a given...
Space Jockeys, Yes.
Androids, 1 definitely, 2 possibly.
The Company, yes but just the Yutani Corporation.
New Xeno, most likely - I suspect we will see the derelict from Alien crash, and as the crew of the Prometheus approach it the Alien born from the Space Jockey will make its presence known.

MemberOvomorph12/7/2011I just hope both supposed versions (pg13 & r) are in 3D. I have yet to see a film at the cinema in 3D & i'm moving back to my home town just before it releases so it would be awesome to go see Prometheus in 3D as it will tie in (excuse the pun) with my move back home. Some good times to look forward to.

MemberOvomorph12/7/2011ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Please do not try and tie the Predators with this movie.They will have absolutely no reference with Prometheus, and should never of got any where near the Alien franchise.
AvP sucked and has no place here.

MemberOvomorph12/7/2011Ha ha Theusprom, I totally agree with you, they should never have been thrown together. I had to laugh in AVP Requiem when we see the 'hero' predator sat in what looked like a Space jockey chair! how stupid do they think we are?
