Peter Weyland video ! ^^

And best of all, dont forget Ridley's own 'senior moment' comment when he said the he was going *back* to a planet called zeta reticuli!

Well, that probably that was the name of the planetoid after all rather than whatever else they called it in the other movies

Zeta Reticuli is a real life star system and is the system where LV-426 is located. Also, I always hated the name Acheron; where did it come from?

Acheron has a fabled name in Greek Mythology.  Have you tried Google?

Also, it is quite a symbolic metaphor for the conditions that the Nostromo crew discovered on LV-426.

It was mentioned in the script for Aliens, during Ripley's hearing, I believe, but the line wasn't used and it isn't referred to as such anywhere in the film.

It is also used in the original Alan Dean Foster novelization of "Alien", if memory serves.

Well, what does it all mean to Ridley who thought that the chatter going on when Zeta II Reticuli was mentioned was just gobbledigook?

Greek mythology.

It could well be LV 426 if they reverse terraform it to a point where it becomes "almost primordial" as Ash says.

But why would they do that, then leave, and then return later and spend vast sums of cash to make it habitable again? Purely from a business point of view, it would just be pointless.

Plus, this planet looks pretty mighty (going by my limited first impressions). LV426 is just some bumf**k backwater planetoid.

Where is the concrete evidence that the planet isn't LV-426?

because the person who WROTE it said it isnt LV4-26 and because the DIRECTOR said it's a new world. is that so hard to compute?

Sorry, I guess I phrased that wrong. I loved Greek Mythology as a kid and, as a result, I suppose I'm quite versed in it. What I meant was 'Which film/book/game did the name first get applied to LV-426?', which has been answered.

[OmegaZilla]

Also, I always hated the name Acheron;

What.

"To honor this historic event, Weyland Corp is planning to offer a new round of investment soon. Interested parties can expect to find out more within the next few days."

How much you wanna bet Fox doesn't follow through on that promise.

Dont forget the 'dark sand storm' scene that sweeps Noomi off her feet. The large particles in the storm and the way that the scene is framed around the image of the Prometheus landing strut is a big hint that this planet could actually be LV426 prior to some terraforming catastrophe where a toxic substance is ejected into the atmosphere and transforms the entire landscape and derelict into the familiar giger melted bone forms.

Every other shot however shows the planet very calm and not hammered by the winds that tend to dominate LV-426.

That howling wind noise reminds me of childhood awesome.

That and listening to 'resolution and hypersleep' from Aliens over and over and over again by myself in the dark.



We're all mad here, I suppose.

If you like "Resolution and Hypersleep", then I imagine you will appreciate the original source, which is the "Adagio" movement from Aram Khachaturian's "Gayane".  Not sure if this was ever credited, on Horner's "Aliens" soundtrack.  This piece was also featured prominently in 2001:  A Space Odyssey:

Nope. Typical Horner
