Prometheus: Ridley Scott's Alien Prequel
« on: July 1, 2011, 01:05:58 pm »



****** WARNING ******

DO NOT READ THE SPOILER IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE PLOT OF THE FILM.

This synopsis of the films plot was leaked by the studio just a few days ago.

Spoiler
Earth. Year 2058.
 
Archaeological digs in Africa reveal alien artifacts that humans were genetically engineered by a advanced alien race (space jockeys). These "Alien Gods" also terraformed Earth in order to make it habitable for their human creations. Amongst finds are coordinates to the Alien God's home-world, to Paradise. Months later the Weyland Corp launch the spaceship PROMETHEUS and his crew, into deep space to make first contact. Thanks to faster than light travel a few years later the PROMETHEUS enters the Zeta Riticuli star system. Humans are greeted by their makers, then transported further into space to a scary yet fascinating world. The Alien Gods are proud of their "children", their first creation to reach such levels of intelligence.
 
As a reward they share bits of their astonishing bio-based technologies with the humans. But for one crew member of the Prometheus it's not enough. In a treacherous act he steals the "bio-source code" to Terraforming, a technology at the origin of all Gods' power, that could make humans equal to the gods. The Alien Gods may be scientists but are also ruthless conquerors, destroyers of worlds who will not accept humans as equals. They unleash on the escaping human crew their favorite bio-weapon, a creature used to "clean up" worlds before colonization. But something goes wrong in the process and humans manage to turn the bio-weapon against their makers. Giving birth to a smarter, nastier, bigger breed of gut eating creatures. Creatures that will be the demise of Paradise. What's left of the Prometheus crew manages to escape the doomed planet.
 
On their trail a survivor Alien God in very familiar ship with one ultimate mission.
 
Bring the wrath of the Gods to Earth.
[close]

This film deserves its own thread.  From that plot outline I think it will be one of the best Sci Fi movies for a long long time.

Neat, not too fussed about the synopsis, but hopefully the old man still has some magic left in him. Always wondered if the Aliens were some sort of biological weapons.

Excellent news.

The background story of the Jockey was never satisfactorily explained, though I always thought that in itself was part of the mystery and attraction of the original film, something deliberately left enigmatic and to our imaginations to fill out the details.

Here's hoping it's good.

Read something from Damon Lindehof who has been working on the script, he made it sound like this wasn't a prequel to Alien. The synopsis above could be that, it is from the same universe but this isn't another Alien film if that makes sense. The above storyline sounds pretty damn cool to me; something different and kinda interesting, away from any hoopla about special effects and 3D. Ridley Scott and 3D is also something we need to see though; he's a design guy at heart so could be fantastic.

I had an idea for a script quite similar to this a few years ago, but it had differences. I'm kinda disappointed something so close to my idea is being made if I'm honest.

It explains several hanging questions from the original.

Why was Weyland industries so obsessed with this creature?
What could they hope to learn from it?
Who was the Pilot of that ship?
Why did the Pilots ship have so many eggs on it?

I think this brief outline gives us answers to so many of those questions.

Yeah i see what you mean. Weyland industries puts it in the Alien universe though.

Will Ridley have to accept the sequels as official cannon? I guess not looking at the synopsis as it seems to be pretty much a self contained story.

I'm looking forward to it although i haven't truly enjoyed a Ridley Scott movie in a long long time.

Very intrigued as to how this fits into the whole Alien universe. As lionel says, already been stated that it isn't a direct prequel, as it was originally intended to be, so really looking forward to seeing how it all ties in.

That does sound awesome but a few film sites are pouring cold water on that being the official synopsis, it's just a rumour at the mo.

The cast looks great too; Michael Fassbender, Noomi Rapace, Charlize Theron, Guy Pearce, and Idris Elba. Im quite excited about Ridley going back to sci fi films, he's only made two in his career and they are both absolute classics.

Cant wait for this, its not a sequel or a prequel is it, its meant to be an expansion of the Alien universe. Very happy about that, wish more films would be made like this, instead of tired rehashes, so glad there is no Ripley in this.

I don't think I've enjoyed a Ridley Scott film since Gladiator. Hes really gone off the boil
Robin Hood was absolutely terrible, one of the worst films I've ever seen. But Body of Lies, American Gangster, Kingdom of Heaven, Black Hawk Down & Hannibal were all good. Particularly Kingdom of Heaven, I think thats the best film he has done in years, better than Gladiator even.

i wish he would revisit the blade runner universe.

There sort of is, like Prometheus, Soldier is meant to be an expansion of the Bladerunner universe.

I agree, Robin Hood was terrible. Nothing happens in it. One of the most uneventful movies I've ever seen.

As for this NOT being an Alien prequel, I'd say we might find out eventually that it is, but they don't want to link it to much because of people's apathy to sequels, prequels and everything else. I think it will be linked with Alien, and be a 'prequel' but still be it's own beast entirely. If it's about the Space Jockey's, it can be it's own thing.

Even in Aliens when Ripley says that the company wanted the Alien for it's 'bio weapons division', it gives away some of the possible story to this. Sounds great, really looking forward to it.

Should be summer 2012. Luckily in 2012 we will also get to see Ghost Rider 2, Underworld 4, Clash of the Titans 2, Scary Movie 5, GI Joe 2, a Jason Bourne film without Matt Damon as Jason Bourne, Resident Evil 5,  Twilight 5, oh and there's also Phantom Menace in 3D.

This, Django Unchained, Dark Knight Rises, Star Trek 2 and Avengers are the only ones I'm looking forward to next year, and the latter two could go horribly horribly wrong.

Hopefully Fincher starts something soon and gives us something next year to follow on from the relatively quick productions of Social Network and Dragon Tattoo. Please. Going to be a shite, shite year for cinema.

You forgot the Total Recall reboot, Titanic 3D and Battleship; yes, a movie based on the game Battleship - Rihanna's in it. Oh and another American Pie.

But still, it's not as if there ain't going to be much to look forward to. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_in_film Doesn't look that grim, and as always, there'll be a few films that you go to thinking they'll be rubbish and they surprise you.

Sorry to go off topic but I'm actually worried about the new Star Trek to be honest.

The last one was superb in every way possibly, amazing CGI scenes, brilliant score, great and interesting storyline that didn't bore you half to death and the characters got developed exceptionally well.

Also liked the way they just threw the characters at you and didn't spend to long introducing them, it was basically just here's a character, now on the enterprise and into the fight.

Really really hope the next one can stand upto the brilliance of the last but I do have my doubts.

 :)
Its a sidequel. Its set in the same universe at the same time as Ripley is around, she just wont feature in it, so I think it will be set after she blows the ship and jumps in the life pod, it will show what happens back on earth when they find out the Nostromo has blown up and the steps they take after that. So Ripley and her story wont really be relevent.
When they started writing it it was envisioned as a sequel, I think to scrub Alien 3 onwards from memory and reboot the series. To go back to the ship and find out what the deal was with the original alien. But they kept having ideas that wouldnt really fit in a sequel, they kept expanding the universe and so ditched the Ripley angle and came up with this. The bio weapon idea in the above leak fits, as Scott has said thats an idea they were thinking about, that the xenomorphs were designed to be a kind of bioweapon designed to clean planets.

Interesting if the leak is true, as the terraforming idea was part of the first spin off comic that Mark Verheiden wrote, that the xenomorphs themselves were part of the process, eradicating all other life then by building their hives, the hives themselves became terraforming structures, turning the infested planets habitable for the other aliens.

scott should call me up, i will tell him how to do it!   on second thoughts they should leave it alone. you know someone like james cameron would get to direct it and it would be godawful.

You mean Paul WS Anderson or whatever his name is. You could do far worse than James Cameron on a sequel to Blade Runner.

Oh you wont like it, not many people do.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soldier_(film)

Soldier was written by David Peoples, who co-wrote the script for Blade Runner. By his own admission, he considers Soldier to be a "sidequel"/spiritual successor to Blade Runner. It also obliquely references various elements of stories written by Philip K. Dick (who wrote the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, on which Blade Runner is based), or film adaptations thereof. A "Spinner" vehicle from Blade Runner can be seen in the wreckage on a junk planet that features in the film.

I get what you mean though, I'd like to see more of the Bladerunner universe, but its the risk of fucking with the legacy that puts me off. Dont think I'd like to see a sequel, but it was such a brilliant setting its a shame we got to see so little of it. Maybe some kind of tv series with a massive budget would be good. Comes down to story though, not sure just following an everyday Bladerunner would be able to sustain a series and in another film it would be weak.

All in all if we cant have more Bladerunner, I'd at least like to see sci-fi done on the same level, with the same vision and style. Hopefully Prometheus will fit the bill.

Didn't like Gladiator or Robin Hood, but this sounds promising.

Hopefully this reaches something near his best work.

I was never hot on Gladiator. I thought large parts of it were quite boring. And I'm not averse to a long film. But there were times nothing was happening. I also saw it much later than most people and had already heard how amazing it was meant to be. It never lived up to that for me.

And Robin Hood was fucking pish beyond belief.
