Spoiler

Very interesting if all of that is true. So I take it David is 'Prometheus' in the sense that he is an android (Titan) that steals bioformer (Fire) from the Jockeys (Gods) and is punished for eternity in a sense by becoming human/creating humanity in which he/we feel pain, die, war, ect over and over again? Or is it that the sum of humanity is a cycle played over and over again from the point of David stealing the bioformer incidentally creating man kind which creates him who creates man kind ect ect ect ad infinity?

That's one way to look at it.

Kiss and make up you two!

Watched Alien 3 today (Alien and aliens yesterday)

Alien 3 is such a great movie. If it wasnt for the whole distress signal and Jockey ship part of Alien id rate Alien 3 Higher. Well, i get more enjoyment from Alien 3 and think its actually a better, more powerful movie. All though the end gets me every time

Kind of awesome news.

It seems our Resident Scar, Elder and Wolf suit actor Ian Whyte is also a Space Jockey.

Re: Official Alien Prequel/Prometheus Discussion Thread

But that's my point, Ridley directed the film i.e. he decided how the film would look on-screen. He didn't "create" anything in it, the story, the design (he might've PICKED what he wanted, but most of the stuff in Alien already existed in previous paintings from Giger), not even the look of the actual Alien, NONE of the elements that people have questions about. So I don't know why people think he would have answers/explanations for certain things regarding the mythology behind the series.
.

Well, if the production is good, the writers, directors, and designers (if needed to) will all work together to create this mythology. Ridley may not have come up with anything, but he was very involved. He was dead set in that universe by the end of the production. Working with O'Bannon, and Giger. They pretty much mapped out the entire thing.

And you're right. Ridley is not the god of Alien. But he is indeed a key part. All of them contributed to the Mythos of the Alien world.

I was kind of hoping that the leaked synopsis was fake, but the trailer seems to match up as far as I can tell.
