    I like to imagine one of the script review meetings may have went something like this...

    Spoiler
    Lindelof:  Okay, I must say, this "ancient astronaut" angle is GOLD, Sir Ridley...pure GOLD!  I have managed to incorporate ancient Greek Mythology, Akkadian/Sumerian/Babylonian, some Mayan, a sprinkle of Egyptian and a few shakes of Nazca, Hindu and the giant pygmies of Beckles.

    Sir Ridley:  The giant pygmies of Beckles?

    Lindelof:  Well, we could leave them out, if you want.

    Sir Ridley:   What about Old Testament stuff?  We need Old Testament stuff...you know, Ezekiel and all that.

    Lindelof:  I thought we could save the Bible for the sequel.  No sense in upsetting the Christians, Jews and quite probably the Muslims, at this point.

    Sir Ridley:  Hmm...not bad.  I like your thinking.  What about the Druid culture...you know, Stonehenge, standing stones, and all that?

    Lindelof:  Well, I thought that might be a bit to "English"...especially for the French market.  As it is, they will be pissed I wasn't able to shoe-horn in the Carnac stones.

    Sir Ridley:   Well, what does Spaiht's think about the progress so far?

    Lindelof:   Ummm....well, I have been trying to get in touch with him, but apparently he has been on extended leave of absence, due to a serious flare-up of irritable bowel syndrome.

    Sir Ridley:  What...surely you can reach his secretary?

    Lindelof:  Err...umm...no, his secretary has suddenly come down with a slight case of hemorrhagic fever.

    Sir Ridley:  Well give me Spaiht's number.

    Lindelof:  It's unlisted...I mean, it has been disconnected.  No, scratch that, I just remembered, he doesn't have a phone.

    Sir Ridley:   Well how the f**k to you communicate with him?

    Lindelof:  Carrier Pigeons.

    Sir Ridley:  But, you are keeping him completely in the loop, and encouraging his input and suggestions...right?

    Lindelof:  Oh, yes...yes...of course.  Not to worry.

    Sir Ridley:  Okay, back to the topic at hand...what have we missed?

    Lindelof:  Can't think of anything...we have definitely covered it all, no question!

    Sir Ridley:  Well, what about Norse Mythology?

    Lindelof:  ..........................umm, yeah, well of course, Norse Mythology.  Sure.

    Sir Ridley:  I don't see anything relating to Norse Mythology in the script?

    Lindelof:  Oh, well that was Spaiht's responsibility.

    Sir Ridley:  You are sure?

    Lindelof:  Umm, absolutely.  As a matter of fact, he was supposed to send over a new draft with the Norse stuff, but the Carrier Pigeons all came down with West Nile, and are out of commission.

    Sir Ridley:  Did they?

    Lindelof:  Yes, very tragic, Sir.

    Sir Ridley:  All right, I want you to hit the books, and integrate all the important Norse myths into this story.  And I mean really get into this research.  I DO NOT want you relying on Wikipedia for any of this shit.

    Lindelof:  Perish the thought, sir.  It would never even cross my mind.

    Sir Ridley:   Good, good.  Let's meet together same time next week.  I still want you to touch base with Spaiht's on this Norse stuff.

    Lindelof:  Yes sir, I will give him a call as soon as we are finished here.

    Sir Ridley:  I thought you said he didn't have a phone?

    Lindelof:  I meant I will send out a pigeon with the message.

    Sir Ridley:  I thought you said they all succumbed to West Nile?

    Lindelof:  No, no, no...I didn't mean pigeons, I meant I will use our ultra-secret backup.

    Sir Ridley:  And what is that?

    Lindelof:  We communicate via Ouija board.

    Sir Ridley:  Really...does it work?

    Lindelof:  Like a charm.  Speaking of which...I think there might just be an idea for another movie with this.

    Sir Ridley:  f**king BRILLIANT !!!!

    The structure in Prometheus and HR Giger's Harkonnen castle design from the aborted Dune:

    https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1101.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fg425%2Fmrmagoo6%2FDDM2DDM2.jpg&hash=1b5ee32eb51ddf9c78b626fd03cc6b8532821fcd

    Did Scott dig up Giger's old, unused designs? Giger worked on Alejandro Jodorowsky's version of Dune pre-Alien, and Ridley too worked on Dune after Alien, but left the project due to his brother Frank's death. Enter David Lynch. Anyhow, a return to Giger's old designs?

    Thanks! That is what I was seeing. It can't be a coincidence. Ridley wanted to do this stuff in Alien, but was short on budget, so he can now do what he wanted to do, in regards to some of the concepts of Giger. I know the design was made after Alien, but Ridley is obviously still a big fan of his, and he is sneaking in this stuff for the fans!!! We haven't even seen the "monsters" yet. :) Me thinks that Giger designed those too, and Ridley is just lying about Giger just doing Murals...

    Wanted to post exactly the same pic compare.

    Yep, it almost jumps to the eye. Hopefully there is more to this structure than pure rock.

    Hopefully :). A little bit of an organic feel here and there will bring it much more in line. Current shots just make it looks like eroded rock though. Which suits for sure... but doesn't conjure Giger's style. Let's face it though... imagine building some of those illogical landscapes and buildings of his... it would be like trying to build your own penrose staircase :laugh:.

    it looks very much like Ridley took Gigers design and added some Sphinx-style erosion - et voilà

    Well, I personally doubt it will turn out to be robots' blood, as it's quite rare resource and robots would perhaps be rent to pieces and drained for their precious white fluid  ;)

    I think that's what Giger's design would look like when exposed to the weather for about 500.000 years.  :)

    Thing is, it is missing organic components, and also missing the illogical/irrational part of his particular surrealist style.
    Buuuut thats content for an entirely different topic that probably doesn't belong in these forums...

    Onto the original point: yes it is reminiscent, and whoever devised it's concept was surely taking from his ideas in generality.

    But the temple is based off a Giger design--one of his unused Dune temples, complete with a face and everything. It's been watered down, but it's still obviously based off Giger's work.

    Yes, I agree. It has been potentially based off it, in general shape. But lets not confuse that with a true Giger design as some are :P.

    I think it's reminiscent in outline shape. But nothing more.

    To say that the complex looks giger-esque... well... I really don't think so. There is nothing bio-mech and illogical about it and that is after all his style. It simply looks like rock that has been crafted and eroded, with some interesting patterns here and there.

    In Norse mythology, the god Loki was bound to a rock. Above him is a large serpent which drips toxic venom upon him. His wife collects the poison in a bowl, but must empty it every time it gets full. As she is in the process of doing this, the snake proceeds to cover Loki in poison. Just as Prometheus gets his liver eaten only to have it grow back again, Loki is temporarily saved from venom only to have it drip on him once more.

    This all just made me think of the first trailer (not the International one), we see Holloway looking at a bowl.

    quote:
    "Adamantine is also the metal used by Hephaestus to construct chains to hold Prometheus in the ancient greek play Prometheus Bound"

    And sounds very close to what is inside Wolverine.

    yes, we can safely assume Wolverine is going to be in the movie

    Yeah, I noticed the 'Cosmic Call 2' detail as well, although I have no idea of the implications...
    It was transmitted to different five Sun-like stars during the same one day (no Z2R was here, though!). Probably some of those stars will play a vital role in the film, that's what I'm guessing, but I'm not sure  :)

    Nice find, 180924609 and Cavalorn!

    Thx and I second the praise.  :)

    Those stars are approx 40-70 lightyears from Earth so I guess they (and their potential systems) are all candidates.

    Regarding Eitr - could it be the vital element needed to produce functioning androids? I mean, the mythic substance is also refeered to as 'creating life' or something like it? The white substance that flows in their veins wink wink..?  ;)

    Love the connections to Norse mythology. Now why didn't I pay more attention in school...?! I live in Scandinavia for Christs sake...  :D

    So Weyland is collecting something that has been named by scientists in this fictional future as Eitr, referencing a mythological poison that is produced by a serpent and is the very first spark of life. This ties into so many of the themes that have been showing up in this film. Serpents, poisons/acids, creation myths, Loki/Prometheus.

    The question is how did they get it if the Prometheus Project has not yet launched? The page mentions that Weyland has received message from deep space, so maybe these messages contain instructions on how to formulate it?

    There is another link between Prometheus and the poison Eitr via Norse mythology:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prometheus#Comparative_myths...

    QuoteIn Norse mythology, the god Loki was bound to a rock. Above him is a large serpent which drips toxic venom upon him. His wife collects the poison in a bowl, but must empty it every time it gets full. As she is in the process of doing this, the snake proceeds to cover Loki in poison. Just as Prometheus gets his liver eaten only to have it grow back again, Loki is temporarily saved from venom only to have it drip on him once more.

    At a later point in time, he was captured in his sleep by King Niðhad in Nerike who ordered him hamstrung and imprisoned on the island of Sævarstöð. There he was forced to forge items for the king.

    In revenge, Weyland killed the king's sons when they visited him in secret, fashioned goblets from their skulls, jewels from their eyes, and a brooch from their teeth. He sent the goblets to the king, the jewels to the queen and the brooch to the king's daughter. When Bodvild took her ring to him to be mended, he took the ring and raped her, fathering a son and escaping on wings he made.

    Welund tasted misery among snakes. The stout-hearted hero endured troubles had sorrow and longing as his companions cruelty cold as winter - he often found woe Once Nithad laid restraints on him

    Below the forge is the headless body of Niðhad's son, who Wayland has killed, making a goblet from his skull; his head is probably the object held in the tongs in Wayland's hand. With his other hand Wayland offers the goblet, containing drugged beer, to Bodvild, Niðhad's daughter, who he then rapes when she is unconscious


    Points bolded by me that could link to Prometheus.

    8) the plot thickens.

    Ok - what is this 'Eitr' resource that Weyland Industries seems to be in short supply of?!

    Wiki entry for Eitr:

    Eitr is a mythical substance in Norse mythology. This liquid substance is the origin of all living things, the first giant Ymir was conceived from eitr. The substance is supposed to be very poisonous and is also produced by Jörmungandr (the Midgard serpent) and other serpents.

    :o

    Now excuse me while I go finish work on my pocketsized prototype fusion reactor fuelled by anti-matter...
    Haha, it's due Noble Prize, good luck, Eva;)

    Thx, just a matter of time until I'll bury that Swiss underachiever and his relativity nonsense...  ;)

    Yeah, I noticed the 'Cosmic Call 2' detail as well, although I have no idea of the implications...

    Love how much work and effort they are putting into this stuff, just for us the geeks.
