Wasn't there something in the original Alien script about jars or urns? Or maybe in one of the old Giger paintings? That they contained facehuggers or something?

In the (???)Dan o'Bannon script, the crew of the Nostromo mistake the alien eggs for urns.  I got the same vibe also.

I think you can see the jars in question in the leaked photos. they look like eggs arranged in piles.

After I read this earlier then I got to say that I'm going to keep my eye on the film more often. At first, I really did not care for the film seeing what happen to the Alien prequel. Looks like I will be going to the movies a lot in 2012 with movies such as The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises, Brave, The Amazing Spider-Man, Django Unchained, Star Trek 2 and this film.

I'm loving this Alien meets 2001 and Mass Effect stuff everyone keeps mentioning. Goddamn, excitement for this has spiked.

It's what the eggs were referred to in the original draft of Starbeast.

I'm wondering what the 'big question' from Alien that has been left unanswered is? My guess is that it could very well be - what came out of the spacejockey's chest?

First post here so hi.

Something that has always interested me about Alien (and Aliens to a lesser extent) is that it's pretty obvious that this is not humankinds first contact with an extraterrestrial lifeform, which would obvioulsy be the most important and significant event in the history of man.

For a while I'd been wondering if Prometheus would detail this 'first contact' and how it would be tied into the Alien universe. Scotts remarks yesterday again make me wonder, but going by the chronology of the film (ie, he says the unanswered question will be at the end of the film) it doesn't really seem to fit.

Mounting and palpable anticipation here. But why the sly move form Fox again with the PG-13? The big question for my is why not have a happy medium and do a 15 rating? Is there a 15 rating?

There was this big controversy with a movie in 2010 (can't remember the name) where they got stuck with an NC-17 rating (only one besides the normal PG, PG-13, and R ratings) which basically made it so they couldn't show trailers on TV and they couldnt play it in most theaters. So meeting at that middle ground is something Riddles definitely shouldn't do

That movie was Blue Valentine I believe with Ryan Gosling.
