Re: Alien Prequel Now "Prometheus"

I don't care about the Alien movies but I'm excited about a new sci-fi movie series.

I read somewhere that the prequel would explain the ship that had apparently crashlanded in the oringinal. You guys remember the giant ship with the huge Robotech sized dead corpse? Well that's what it was supposed to be about.

That's the rumor.

FOX releases a synopsis:

Visionary filmmaker Ridley Scott returns to the genre he helped define, creating an original science fiction **** set in the most dangerous corners of the universe. The film takes a team of scientists and explorers on a thrilling journey that will test their physical and mental limits and strand them on a distant world, where they will discover the answers to our most profound questions and to life’s ultimate mystery.

A lot of duh, but they had to do something when someone yesterday leaked an unofficial synopsis that was proven to be a fake.

Is this really a prequel to Alien?

Re: Alien Prequel Now &quot;Prometheus&quot;

Scott has stated "its barely connected" to Alien, but I keep seeing it tagged as a prequel to Alien.

Yeah, that's what's confusing me.
In a recent IGN article, it seems like Scott is doing his best to remove any ties to the Alien franchise at all.
But there seems to be quite a bit of evidence to suggest this is a prequel.

I'm watching this regardless. Even if it's not associated (which I hope it is), it looks really good.

That is the confusion with this and I wonder if he's doing that to surprise people. I hope it's a prequel to Alien that would be great. There are a few things that people have spotted as to a connection but not 100% certain.

[CMH]

It's a prequel if you consider anything that happened before Alien to be a prequel story.

But it isn't because it won't have characters from the original Alien franchise.

So Scott and Lindelof are calling it everything but a prequel. It's based on the world of Alien.

Re: Alien Prequel Now &quot;Prometheus&quot;

So how is that not a prequel? Has that written all over it.
