Script in the works for PROM Seq

[Darth Vile]

It's only a film for Frank's sake - these aren't politicians, bankers or organised religious leaders...

Come on, Scott is a businessman - his words - and movies are big business. You know this.

Just like any other popular filmmaker... It's a commercial venture. That doesn't make them morally bankrupt.

[Blacklabel]

Best thing so far is that Lindelof isnt involved.

I wish Frank Darabont wasnt working on the Godzilla script to lend a hand here... 

Who else would be really good for it?

Of course not, that would be a silly claim, which is why I didn't make it. You said yourself that the ambiguity was a bit contrived, which I agree with, however while you think that is fine, I think it is a dick move. No harm no foul.

Remember how much of fandom (and some journalists doing interviews) was saying that 'Requiem' would have to be an improvement because Anderson wasn't involved?

Yeah...

[ChrisPachi]

Don't blame the hubris of Strauss on the lack of Anderson. It was a good lacking, while it lasted. We are in the honeymoon period of no Lindelof, so please don't spoil it with divorce statistics.

OK, MY THOUGHTS ON THE SEQUEL


i'll use spoiler tags because its so obvious it maybe true

Spoiler

not the whole story but at least a segment of it...what do we know so far about the engineers and what Shaw and other possible characters may know regarding the black box Prometheus?

Characters know that Engineers used a military base to make bio weapons and one of their ship was meant to head to Earth.
We know this and that Engineers seeded life on a planet ( on Earth maybe aswell- this is Shaw's theory too).

And in the end of the story Prometheus what do we think about them? "They made us and they tried to kill us."

Good build up to a possible twist Sir Scott if u reasonable! How about always mr friggin negative thinking humanity?!
Yeah we saw that one of them or possible a few of them tried to kill us! What if the twist and the plot are the following....

- Shaw is heading to Paradise
- military rescue team finds the wreckege of Prometheus and its black box, get information about a possible threat for Earth, gets the same info about the Engineer's homeland as Shaw, possible new character as an USMC soldier, maybe a little war with the xeno from the end of the first movie just to prove the threat even more
- its war time, the USMC is heading to Paradise
- Shaw meets the Engineers, few adventures, answers blabla finds out that some outlaw Engineers planned to destroy Earth on that base for some reason but the good ones stopped them by causing that outbrake 2000 years ago
- the good engineers is about to win the battle over the bad ones as only a few of them lives now and few of them owns juggernauts and bio weapons
- USMC arrives and destroys everything even the good one's planet
- we are in big shit as one of the bad Engineer escaping from the war and heads towards to Earth with a juggernaut packed with their newest ultimate weapon, with the xeno eggs - possible connection with the (first?) xeno (ever?) we saw in the end of Prometheus
- Shaw manages to get on board and crashes that ship on lv-426 - some battle with xenos - some whatever it needs to be to finish Shaw's saga
- the end, its connected to Alien

[close]

sure it can be expanded regarding the characters and scenes and etc. but in short i think this can be a possible and good sequel to Prometheus and prequel to Alien

have nice day

no one? umm  whatever

[Alien³]

Shaw's ship crashing on LV-426 is stupid. The derelict has been on LV-426 long before the events in Prometheus.

who said that? oh i got it... an air ship - truck driver, thats legit

[Alien³]

Everyone says that it's millions of years old.

[szkoki]

everyone said that the Earth is flat... there were no scientific test performed on that corpse so we cant be sure how old it is

[Alien³]

So for you, the derelict could have crashed the day before the events of Alien happened?

You just need to look at the thing and see that it's been there a long time.

[OmegaZilla]

Unless it has been hit by a FOSSILIZING RAY.

OMG that totally works. Phoning Sir Scott right now.

"The Derelict is believed to have crashed on Acheron several millennia prior to the arrival of the Nostromo."

Although it says "believed" it's agreed that its been there waaaaay before Prometheus.

"In Prometheus, the biomechanical details on the walls and ground [of the derelict] are much finer, better defined, because this environment is meant to be in almost mint condition. There is no sign of decay, of rust, nor of translucent slime as in Alien, because time yet hasn't had its effect."
