Why cant he just say if it has aliens in it or not? i dont care about sigourney weaver or it being in 3D.. just want to the know the simple set of the movie i.e does it have xenomorphs in it or not
I doubt that the Alien (Xenomorph) will make an appearance. "DNA of Alien" is the phrase that has been thrown about most, and I think it means that literally. Ridley says that in the final eight minutes, that the "DNA" will become apparent; this can mean a number of things. But, I personally think that we will have a glimpse perhaps of the Space Jockey in it's focialised state that we saw in
Alien. And, if we're really lucky, maybe even a few of the Alien eggs.
But, I really do doubt that we're going to see a Xenomorph. And, I don't think it is necessary to include them. When you watch
Alien, it is the tension and the progression of watching these characters slowly learn more about the Alien; of how it gestates within a human host after being impregnated by the Facehugger. And, after it has been born, it grows rapidly into the Xenomorph we know it as. If you were to include that specific Xenomorph, the one we know all too well, in a film set before
Alien, then the entire point of the tension of
Alien goes out the window.
Again, I wouldn't mind seeing the Space Jockey in it's final form, and the Alien eggs - but, I think that is all that is necessary. Then you can watch both
Prometheus and
Alien back-to-back, and get the full horror and mystery that was originally intended.
