Title: Fassbender: Prometheus is absolutely connected to Alien

Oh, absolutely. There's a definite connecting vein," Fassbender told MTV News when asked pointblank whether or not "Prometheus" and "Alien" are connected. "You realize you're part of something else, but it's definitely in keeping with the old ones."

Although it explores other areas of that universe, it appears that "Prometheus" and "Alien" exist in the same space. For Fassbender, that connection was initially a bit overwhelming: "When I read it, I was like, 'Well, okay, another Alien. Where do you go with this idea?' And then I sort of read the script, and it's new, yet it's in keeping with the old traditions as well. But there's a whole new revelation within this film."

"The first 'Alien' [movies], they were thrillers," he continued. "Something's going on. It's creeping, it's sinister. Things are happening, it's building, [and there are] different sorts of intrigues and politics going on between the different relationships on board."

Fassbender's description of "Prometheus" echoes back to the atmosphere of Scott's original "Alien" movie, but according to the actor, it's not all claustrophobic horror – there's action as well.

"There's action in it," he said, "but the intelligence is what struck me when I read it. It's more sort of like the original ones. There are things happening and building, and the intelligence of the first two-thirds of the film gets you ready for the action."

For his own part, Fassbender says he's considering preparing for the shoot with some specific physical training: "I was thinking about doing some yoga, some Pilates. I need to sort out my posture a little bit. I want to be as tall as I can standing next to those aliens!"

Okay so, this movie is a prequel, then it's not a prequel but hinted to be either a stand-alone or a side-story, now it's an Alien film again...

So it's what, a side-story or something?

notice how when he says - "I want to be as tall as I can standing next to those aliens!" (although he seems to be joking), perhaps this relates to the earlier leaked sky information  - from sky's source  - "Despite that press release that seemed to indicate there were no aliens in the movie, the familiar HR Giger-style aliens do appear. Big ones apparently."

Yup, sounds like there are some definite connections. Seems to be that it's set in the universe and there will be a "revelation" in dealing with the mythology if we take what Fassbender says on face value.

From what we know or been told the film is set in the same universe as alien but doesn't follow the "alien" story line that we currently know. its its own story with connections. Think chronicles of Riddick

What's your problem? I found it pretty common for people who are attached to some projects (not only movies) and are not the main creative force behind them to be so casual and vague about them. I think that's the case here, I don't think Fassbender had much of specific knowledge at this point, because some things are still probably worked out. Well, the other thing is that he can't give away too much anyway, but I'm still sure he isn't the one to expect concrete answers from.

It seems that it will be a stand alone movie in alien universe but without the usual aliens i guess and the story wont be about them too.....

Like announcing a Simpson sequel...then you change your mind and announce that you will make a stand alone movie in the Simpson universe called: Dionysus with none of the ''family'' or any of the main characters on screen and with a story that revolves around a young student that likes to smoke weed/drink and his adventures......(maby Otto the bus driver  in his early years ;D hhhmmmmmm?) and then you say: yes,of course you will recognise Homer DNA in the movie hahahahahahah

Started as irritating but now it got boring....just shut up and make the movie.

Post by: Federick Gonsa on Feb 12, 2011, 08:51:36 PM
Yeah, this is an Alien movie, and perhaps not just loosely connected. It seems it is strongly connected. Michael Fassbender, from the very beginning of the interview, he called it an Alien movie, he talked about it like an Alien movie. It was not until the interviewer asked that he made a distinction, and that distinction did not appear wide. I can accept 1 actor misinterpreting a question, but 2? No. And not after answering the question the way Michael Fassbender did. I guess we all got our prequel!!!

I think people are jumping the gun if they expect to be like the others. From what I gather it was always going to be pretty different, hence dropping the "ALIEN" name. We'll have to see how it goes, but I hope it is strongly connected at least, ie Space Jockeys.

It's interesting to look at that painting / hieroglyphic and see how it begins with the alien creating an egg and then infecting / impregnating a host. I'm thinking of that age old question...'the chicken first or the egg first?'

I hope this film is hard science fiction, exploring the origins of the aliens and jockeys as significant biological discoveries as opposed to the space bugs of Camerons Aliens.

Can't wait!

You and me both.

It's a prequel. Then it's not a prequel, but something completely original, then it's something not completely original and somehow connected to the Alien films, yet is still being labeled as a prequel.

I'm sure it will be interesting, pretty entertaining and probably fun but where it fits in or not is just confusing...

The confusion is pissing me off.

This was kind of what I've been thinking since Fassbender's interview.

Dude, he started with "I'm thinking". He does not need to provide any evidence for what he thinks the film will be about.

But there are posts like that all over the place. 'I'm thinking it will all be about Aliens and Scott is tricking us', 'I'm thinking the Space Jockeys will be the main focus', 'I think Prometheus is the name of the Derelict'. It's perfectly innocent speculation, but I think that it's contributing heavily to the mass confusion around here.

That said, I realize I came off a little harsh. I just wish we could keep our heads above the water for five minutes.

so your saying is that people shouldn't be allowed to express there thoughts on what the film will be about? its a forum. It's meant for that type of convo.

But why? (other than your reason of "confussion"). None of these forums would have any type of reply if people didn;t express their thoughts/opinions on a subject. If he wants to let people know what he thinks the film will be like then let him. Otherwise it will be boring place to visit and no one would post comments

It's this particular subject I have a problem with, because we don't actually know enough about the film to form an educated opinion, beyond 'this sounds great/awful'. If you want to say that you think Prometheus will be all about the unicorn from Blade Runner and how it was actually a hallucination projected through time and space by the Alien Queen's hivemind, you're perfectly within your rights to shout it to the heavens.

Just as I'm perfectly within my rights to say that it's silly and isn't based on anything resembling hard facts.

Requesting permission to speculate, sir.

Well, pretty much everything is wild speculation when dealing with the actual content of the film this early in production. Nonetheless my reasoning for such thinking/ speculation was rooted in the way in which Fassbender described the plot structure (building to action climax much like that of Alien/ Aliens) and his certainty when declaring that there will be a definite connection with the Alien films. Beyond that, well it's all just speculation. Without speculation we're just a bunch of people hanging around a forum stating how development A or B is good or bad for a final film we haven't seen or know little about. Not only does that strike me as rather boring but pretty speculative in itself.  :P

You're definitely not alone. I don't give a rat's ass at this point; I'm much more interested in what Blomkamp is doing with Elysium.

Now I just have to ween myself off checking this particular board, and I'll be better off.

basically it's going to be like a jaws prequel where we find out jaws was bioengineered by some evil government characters for some reason, and though jaws doesn't turn up until the end and though the main enemy is the evil government and all their early experiments (e.g. crab monster) it is absolutely a film set in the same universe as jaws.

I think the questions surrounding the 'birth' of the aliens are enough fodder to have this film be a bonafide and official prequel. This film takes place in the same universe, discovering the same space jockey and goes deeper to figure out who they are and what happened to them. To me, that is in essence, a prequel. Discussing the term Alien...that encompasses quite a bit, space jockeys and all. I feel like people want the word 'alien' in the title to convince them that this is an alien film.

Post by: Salt The Fries on Feb 16, 2011, 04:03:40 PM
Well, maybe the title deliberately doesn't contain word "Alien" in order to prevent sequel-ploitation with Predators from happening (at the same time broadening the true "Alien" cannon)?

But since the press release for the name change etc we can't be sure if at all it still follows the orignial story that ridley was always mentioning. It might be completly different and not be set in the universe.

          With all due respect, you have no idea what you are on about, Scott has stated "the keen fan will notice strands of alien's dna", prometheus will have no xenomorphs directly resembling the one from scotts alien film as such regardless of size, more like just a few small traits as a nod towards the creature. I think we could very well see the space jockeys, but scott and fox are trying to distance themselves from the xenomorph as it's been over exposed by too many films from milking the cash cow of the alien franchise. Space jockeys, have not yet been explored and if anything prometheus will feature them, so with all due respect give it a rest.

no worries just that different people have there own opinions and at the end of the day its just all speculation but we did get confirmation off Fassbender that it is attached to the alien films so we no it is alien related so it could have anything in this
