Pyramid in the Alien Prequel?

[Bone collector]

Just reading that I immeadeatly thought the predators were going to get reffrenced in this movie.

For the uninitiated, here's Giger's original pyramid design for ALIEN, circa 1978:

Nothing to do with Predators whatsoever.

Mr Clemens, Giger enver sdesigned a pyramid, that is the egg silo, an alternative to the pyramid concept, which was designed by Chriss Foss and Ron Cobb, I believe. It was cut from Dan O'Bannon's screenplay. If Ridley wants to bring it back, then it was Alien's idea and part of the original mythology, not AVP's. We've had nifty pyramids in Blade Runner and Terminator 2: 3D.

Crikey, "enver sdesigned"? I just woke up

I liked the pyramid idea in avp and I think avp is salvagable so a pyramid in an alien prequel could be possible. And would be cool. Even better in the prequel show a skeleton of a pred or a small glimps of a pred scouting.

[Mr. Clemens]

Hey, Valaquen. Yes, that's technically the 'egg silo', but again, technically, so is the area in the hold of the derelict, where Kane finds the eggs. The egg silo pictured above was designed to function as the 'pyramid' in O'Bannon's script, however, so I thought it was worth showing here.

At any rate, it's no less accurate than the information in the original post!

SpaceMarines, It's interesting that you posted that picture of the Tyrell building from Blade Runner because when I first read this article I thought 'Bullcrap', then I thought 'if this is for real, it could mean Ridley is holding up to his (and my) belief that Blade Runner takes place in the same universe as Alien'.

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.

It would be so awesome if there will be a pred in this movie and marines and aliens and jockeys,and the pred and marines get f**king horrified mutilated and raped and left for dead by a far more superior race of jockeys and aliens.

[Ratchetcomand]

Sounds pretty cool.

[St_Eddie]

There will NOT be a predator in sight in the prequel.  I can promise you that.  Ridley Scott has more sense than that, as does Damon Lindelof.  Seriously, why are people so keen on this idea?!  It's a horrible concept but I guess it explains the relative box office success of the AVP films. *SIGH*

[Infected]

First off i dont like the AVP franchise as it is at the moment. BUT in other good hands its a gold franchise with lots of potential.

[x2SMONEY]

I think the pyramid idea has a lot of potential.

[Valaquen]

Mr Clemens, I do suppose you're right. And no Predators in this, please.

[Mr. Clemens]

Hear, hear. I'm with you, mate!
