It is possible that another group of people came in contact with the aliens, perhaps on a different planet and none of them escaped like Ripley did.
Yeah it is, but it also spoils the fist film for me. One of the reasons I like it as the guys on the Nostromo are the first humans to find this level of Alien life form, and it happens to be the most dangerous creature in the universe. I just think thats awesome.
In any case, if another group of people come into contact with the Aliens, how is it going to be any different from what we've seen already? We've seen a few people in a confined environment go up against one, with limited weaponry. We've seen a squad of heavilly armed Marines go up against a whole hive of 'em. etc etc. The reason it worked a second time in Aliens, is that they were briefed on the Alien, they kinda knew what they were expecting, so they didn't spend ages explaining the hell out of its life cycle... and they also fought more than one (which was great for the audience). If these people in ALIEN: ORIGINS (or whatever) have no clue what it is, we're just going to have the exact same film that ALIEN was, except with different people and maybe more Aliens. Can't wait to see the space faring Folk band facing off against the Alien.
