I’d like to preface this one by saying take this with a grain of salt as it is only 3rd hand information. Richard Daborn pointed me towards this post:
“I’m not sure if any of this is known, but my Brother works in TV and one of the crews he works with came back from Morocco about 10 days ago (I waited until I knew it would be okay to mention). He was told that the area of desert they were shooting (where Scott shot Kingdom of Heaven) on had just been recced by Scott and he’s given the go ahead for them to start work on a pyramid!
The person who told my Brother thought it was going to be a part of Earth, but the pyramid sounds suspiciously like the original pyramid idea for Alien, so might actually be Acheron, or another planet.”
This was posted over at the Aliens Legacy forum.
Well, you've done it. They can be the same universe now.

Plus I'd always imagined that after the Nexus-6 fiasco, a law was passed enforcing replicant manufacturers to use white blood, in order to make the distinction between human and replicant clearer (a simple blood test is all that would be needed to clarify, as opposed to the whole Voight-Kampff test).
Well, that's easy. Androids are from HyperDyne/WaylandYutani while Replicants are from Tyrell Corp. Like PCs and Macs today.
Yeah, I've always thought that Blade Runner and Alien could be in the same universe. There are several problems with that though, mostly to do with the androids and replicants.
How cool would it be to see the same version of Earth depicted in Blade Runner, in the Alien prequel. I'd say cooler then a penguin wearing shades, sucking an ice-lolly, frozen in an iceblock.
At any rate, it's no less accurate than the information in the original post!

Nothing to do with Predators whatsoever.

Roy's gonna have a field day.
Also, did I mention that my Father's friend's Sister's dog claims to have an updated scoop on the pyramid. I'll keep you posted (once I've checked with the pooch first to see if it's okay to let you guys know of course).
If this turns out to be true, then boy, will I have egg on my face (eggs thrown by flying pigs no doubt)!
