From a report on the new cast addition, JoBlo added:
QuoteBy the way, today we had someone give us a heads up to the fact that, in a foreign interview back in December, Ridley Scott admitted part of PROMETHEUS takes place a million years in the past...presumably showing the origin story of the space jockeys. Sounding cool to you or what?
http://www.joblo.com/arrow/index.php?id=27094 (http://www.joblo.com/arrow/index.php?id=27094)
No idea what this foreign interview was, I wish they'd link or hint, but nope, nadda. A pinch of salt for now, until someone picks up on the actual interview. Sounds very 2001, really.
Coool.
I wonder if this would mean that the pilot was indeed flossilized a million years ago. :P
If its true of course. hahaha.
Interesting.
Remember there was a tweet a while back saying that Alien fans have been waiting to see the opening for the film for years? Perhaps the opening is the Jockey ship going down, then Prometheus takes off from there. Would be funny: the great Jockey ship mystery dealt with and set aside in the first few minutes.

QuoteMuch are enough before. Scott orients itself at Erich von Däniken: "That guessed/advised correctly. Before millions of years it gave high-standing creatures here and elsewhere". It is a time, in which HR Gigers all monster does not exist yet. "I must create something new."
Could be, but JoBlo said the interview was in December, not last summer.
AVP flashback! BOOM!!!
Jee, I can only pass over the thousands of
possibilities right now.

LOVECRAFT-ED JOCKEYS.
Bah Humbug... All this is starting to sound extra lame. Hope I'm wrong but I think Ridley lost his touch a long time ago.
"I have to create something new."
Hmmm?
something new.. space jockeys? a new race we have not seen yet?
very very very interesting....
." It is a time when HR Giger's monster didn't exist. "
but this could also mean the jockeys right?! even though i could be wrong because we didnt see the jockey in action or anything only thing we saw/heard was in its ship and the weird sounds the crew heard on the nostromo before landing on LV-426.

He said in the Anthology booklet that there was something new besides the Alien and Space Jockey, and has said for a while that the Alien is being redesigned. Exciting, I think.

yes i personally cannot wait either a new species or the pure Alien instead of the xenomorph... also if this film makes success and everyone creates hype about new species he could then make other films with these aliens in to make more money so it is a very good idea....
with all the info we have so far it is pretty clear this film will be a massive epic on a truly grand scale. and we barely know anything! :laugh:

Nice :)
Scott speaks of Erich von Daniken: "He has guessed right. Millions of years ago, there were intelligent creatures everywhere." It is a time when HR Giger's monster didn't exist.
"I have to create something new."
If somebody got the AVP Making of DVD, listen closely to what Anderson says in the pre-production part....... :-\

I know, but Scott is doing 'gods and engineers of space', not interstellar fox hunts. I think Prometheus, if related, won't connect to AVP and its Von Daniken Predators.

Now I am not too certain but I've read somewhere that millions of years ago, before humanity was even around, that the Jockeys had seized control of Earth and were planning to use it as a Proteus planet of some sort. Now, I've read some of the EU, and looking up on some sites such as Xenopedia (I hate that wikia.. their info just seems... wrong in some places!) seems to also indicate that some EU material had in fact implemented this idea. And this idea also seemed to utilize the concept of a Proto-Xenomorph as well.
Of course, we're not certain if this information of Prometheus being set long in the past might happen but if it does..
-Rakai'Thwei
I'm going to assume the xenomorph might be the reason so many of the extraterrestrials were wiped out before our time
AvP doesn't exist for Ridley Scott...I don't know how much clearer it has to be made.
heres something to think about prometheus it is meant to be set millions of years ago and this could connect with the predators (i hope not because it could be another avp agen lol... ) aswell because if you look at there ships they collect skulls from beins or anything which was alive from years ago such dinosaurs like that triceratops skull from predator 2 i think it was.... just a fought anyway i could be wrong....
I think you gy's may be reading it wrong. I read it as 2 separate quotes. The first part is saying that Erich von Daniken came up with an original idea. The second part is Scott saying he has to do something similar.
There's no link there, he's just using Daniken's theory as an example. That's how I read it.
Either way the movie won't be shot "millions of years ago" unless it's in a galaxy "far, far away" which would mean nothing to do with the Alien franchise.
Sure you could say the SJ is a million years old, but then your just creating a back story for your back story?
This could be awesome. Can't wait to see how it turns out! :D

it could fit in the timeline to be honest because they are talking about millions of years? dont predators collect skulls from dinosaurs aswell as other alien beings? so if there got dinosaurs the predators must have been around for years but lets hope they dont inclube them in prometheus because it will be another avp agen and might spoil it...
It`s impossible for Predators to be here for milions of years. Those dinosaur skull are
a) Fossils take cause they look cool.
b) Skulls of alien creatures that happened to look similar.
Also dinosaur skulls appear only in AvP-r which not entirely fits canon. Dinosaur skulls ther might be an easter egg just like Harryhausen`s Cyclop`s skull which is also dissplayed there.

Yeah, but how does Jesus fit in?

Probably Joblo read the date on the Blick article which was 12.05.2010 as if it were written in the American way and not the European way. So he would think it was the December 5th rather than 12th of May
So we also have a comparison to Back to the Future to think about!

All we have is speculation, I guess. I asked Diane O'Bannon about it via FB, here's what she told me:
Frankly, I have calls in to 20th about this new non-Alien Alien prequel, since they have contractual obligations to the writers if it is part of the Alien franchise. No one has gotten back to me. Perhaps it is so very secret, even their legal department doesn't know. I am thinking that soon perhaps my attorney will ask them.

No, it means if it's an Alien film, O'Bannon gets credited, as he did for every other Alien film in a 'Characters Created By' credit. Since it's been rumoured to be an Alien film, and they haven't been contacted, then they're curious to know what's going on. She didn't mean anything at all 'suing,' lawyers are also intermediaries for business, and may be need to prick the ears of someone who, after several attempts, have been ignoring the other party.The film won't be put into delays over a bloody 'Characters Created By' credit. As for the rating issue, that seemed to be rumour amid all the other BS that was floating around.
Thanks alot for clearing that up, it looks like fox are taking the same approach as avatar , by keeping stum and only releasing bits here and there.
If the derelict and the space jockey are in it, it's an alien film.

I've noticed a few reports have listed David Giler and Walter Hill with their usual billing as producers. If that's for real, seems like Fox would have to give O'bannon and Shussett their credits as well.

in all honestly why would he do that? The predator was never a part of the alien franchise he created. It came about through comics which is commen to do. Think terminator versus predator etc. From there is spawned games and then movies.
Why would ridley want to accept this as part of cannon to the alien franchise?

There is a wide vocabulary for 'consoles'...
He could be talking about cockpits for the spaceships, or the console terminal on the computer screens.

Now for which spaceship however....space jockey ship or human?
... how does that quote confirm they're for cockpit stations? All he says is they look good.
i think these are human consoles, space jockeys operate their ships telepathically as they are biomechanically grown into them, and communicate all through mind transfer. That's assuming prometheus has space jockeys or Scott changes how the jockeys operate and make them more physical in the movie. My perspective is Noomi Rapace was rumoured to have a part a few months back and so was Michael Fassbender, it was all true, so i'm kind of believing this info of a space jockey set in pinewood to be true also. i'm loving logging in here every day and reading all the news and discussion transpiring about this film. Scott was bang on about changing it from a direct prequel to prometheus. Let's hope the fox execs let scott get on with it and don't stick their corporate noses in too much

... what.
If you read alien harvest, space jockeys kind of rest motionless when piloting one of their ships, and control the ship telepathically, it's in the second half of the script when the jockey ship is being pursued by the human ship. They pretty much do alot of communicating through telepathy.If some of the alien harvest script has made it to prometheus final draft such as how space jockeys live and communicate through telepathy.Im betting these consoles being built are for the human ships of the film.
I have no doubt they're human consoles.
I also have no doubt I will never acknowledge Alien Harvest's validity as anything other than fan fiction.
and there's no need for the abrupt ......what . be civil please i'm just trying to explain my point of view, which i'm entitled to do.
I know, I was just wondering where the assertion that they were definitely telepathic came from. Didn't mean to come across as rude, just surprised :P

tbh no one knows but ridley him self and his crew whats going on... so no one can say that jockeys don't use telepathic to control there ships how do you know that ? they could do ? but no one knows
Just signed up here, so forgive me. However I've read 80% of the Aliens EU stuff and it's a common theme throughout that the SJs and Aliens are telepathic, particularly Outbreak aka Earth Hive, and Female War. Sometimes its pheromones, sometimes its "royal jelly" causing hallucinations. DEFINITELY not saying that the creators of Prometheus are reading this stuff, but some of the news tidbits have been strikingly similar to what was done by Dark Horse in the 90's.
Welcome to the site mate :)
Yeah, welcome. Always nice to have someone well versed in the EU here, like me. :D

Guys....
Anywhoo...
Space Jockey's rule the universe millions of years ago by using the xenos, it gets outta hand, things go bad. Archaeologists in the future find some of their bio-tech. They use the tech to more properly chart courses through space via a big giger head, think System Shock woman giger face thing. Bio-tech head is inevitably linked telepathically to remaining Space Jockeys. Thus bringing the curious Noomi and the others face to face with said Jockeys where secrets of the universe are revealed. Maybe the Jockeys see this as some sort of opportunity to reclaim their place as gods of the universe.

Anywhoo...
Space Jockey's rule the universe millions of years ago by using the xenos, it gets outta hand, things go bad. Archaeologists in the future find some of their bio-tech. They use the tech to more properly chart courses through space via a big giger head, think System Shock woman giger face thing. Bio-tech head is inevitably linked telepathically to remaining Space Jockeys. Thus bringing the curious Noomi and the others face to face with said Jockeys where secrets of the universe are revealed. Maybe the Jockeys see this as some sort of opportunity to reclaim their place as gods of the universe.
Hmmm. You know there is SOMETHING interesting about this proposal. If the tech you speak of is 'STOLEN' from the 'Gods of the Universe', the Space Jockeys, and they have some way of finding out and are pissed off and so, they set a trap, THE DERELICT, to punish the human race.
This would be quite similar to the myth of PROMETHEUS.
I also think it should be worth noting that PROMETHEUS and ADAM AND EVE IN 'PARADISE' are THE TWO Mythological versions of the creation story.
