Official "Ridley Scott's Prometheus" Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

Re: Official Alien Prequel/Prometheus Discussion Thread

Are we thinking that the Alien eggs and facehuggers etc concept are created from the events of Prometheus or are already present during the films timeline?

Re: Official Alien Prequel/Prometheus Discussion Thread

you mean facehugger? Idk, looks like something similar to me. If any kind of Alien gets shown, I think we already know it will look different then the original, so the facehugger should too.

No, I meant chestburster. It comes out of her stomach..there's an umbilical cord..has the shape of a burster..etc. There's a pic I posted in the A&R HT Prometheus thread shows a close up of Shaw's face in that same birth scene with these weird tentacle/alien finger things hovering above her..they obviously belong to whatever was removed from her stomach.


@Goosey

Some things we've seen lead you to believe the crew creates the Xenomorph, or encounters the first type of Xenomorph..and there's other stuff shown that makes you believe the opposite, that they've been around for a long time and this is somthing new..

I personally hope that the only Xenomorph-related thing in the movie is the mural. I think that's perfect. Nice subtle little hint, and everything else being new and mysterious...a seperate story.
I originally really wanted this to be a true Alien prequel, but now I am more interested in them exploring other nightmareish biomechanical creations.

Someone on AvPGalaxy mentioned somthing about there being various biomechanical creations (weapons) imbedded in the uhh..the wall or whatever, like in the mural. I thought that was an interesting idea..like an arsenal. A weapon rack...but with living biomechanical creations.

There is going to be a creature in the film. It's going to be something nasty. They even showed it's arm, or leg...whatever, in the IMAX trailer.

Look at the scene toward the end of the trailer, where Shaw is standing in the hallway, it looks like whatever was removed from her, was removed from her uterus, not her chest/stomach. There appears to be a black bandage right where a c-section scar would be on her abdomen. This is a new creature, unless....ahem, the 'hugger' can attach to things other than faces...

During the series finale of walking dead last night, during a commercial they showed the imax trailer for prometheus at the end it said this film is not yet rated. It still may turn into an r movie

I bet a Xeno tentacle penetrating the belly button would hurt a tad.

WTF is a Xenomorph?

A Scott and Lindelof interview just went up on Aint it Cool News. The subject of the film's rating came up. It sounds like the studio is supportive of either a PG-13 or and R, Scott can cut the film however he feels works best.

Yeah, I know. Stomach/uterus whatever.

I wasn't implying that she gets facehugged, if that's what you were thinking.

It's kind of obvious now that she gets raped by one of the infected crew members. Holloway, is that her love interest? And is that the guy who had the squirmy tendril thing in his eye? If so, I'd guess that he's the one who rapes her.
I mean, there's the scene from the first trailer that shows her at the side of the bed wrapped awkwardly in a blanket nude, with what looks like blood on her..then we have Holloway (or whoever) sitting at the other end of the bed with only jeans on, covering his face in his hands as if he is ashamed..

Hopefully R as that would probably mean a 15 here in the UK. Kids should not be in the cinema for this type of film.

Re: Official Alien Prequel/Prometheus Discussion Thread

It's facehugger-ish suggesting there will be a xeno-ish. Fox is trying to tell us to expect a variant of the Alien without ruining the fun. I'm guessing after seeing John Carter implode Fox wanted to reassure people who are sitting on the fence this movie it will be a strong Alien franchise tie in.

Seeing some sort of Xeno-ish creature would be sweet.
