Nothing is certain but death, taxes and Politikon pushing the Harvest script as being legit.
Haha. What can I say, I trust my instincts.
Plus it just seems to answer all these questions. Consider what we have on this forum right now. Here, we have everyone debating what Ridley mean when he says...x, y and z. And yet, if you just plug in the Harvest script, Ridley makes complete sense. It's pretty uncanny.
You remind me of someone on another forum, he was similarly convinced he held the absolute truth on a subject. Eventually he just got stranger and stranger, dude started talking about people having invicible antennas on their heads, receiving transmissions from somewhere but simply ignoring this because the truth about... whatever is too much to handle. Apparently iPods play some role in the kidnapping of our conscience.
Please don't let this happen to you.
Uh...What?... the hell are YOU talking about?
iPods do what?
Im not COMPLETELY convinced. I'm just acknowledging that all signs point to 'YES' and maybe also implying that it's easy for me to admit the signs point to yes, because I liked that script.
But for instance...Shit! I certainly hope they changed the whole ANTS part! That BS needed work.
I liked most of the script , but i have to say as time goes on and you look at it from a distance, It's made up from a blend of fan ideas, Ridley Scott ideas and probable ideas.
You have to ask your self, would a prequel likely include the Space Jockey species?, would it include links to LV426?, would it include a different version of the Xenos? would it include the Derelict? The answer is a resounding - Yes it would. Throw in a few main characters and a different ship and you've got Harvest. The guy has just gelled it together well.
I personally think with the success of Avatar, Scott is going to create a whole new world, laden with different species and controlled by the Space Jockey race, and somewhere along the line humans get involved. I just can't see the need for 3D otherwise.
I guess, but the similarities I was referring to were the ones that aren't wjat you listed. The ones you listed were fairly obvious choices but all the things Scott has detailed thus far regarding the prequel fit in with the HARVEST script. All of them. There's not one thing he's mentioned that isn't supported by HARVEST, save for minute details like the mentioning of Zeta 2 Reticuli.... But then again, that also relates to the script.
His quotes on redesign fit in the script
His timeline fits the script
His mythical interpretations of the material fit the script
His description of the Aliens being used NOT only to terraform but to wipe clean and seed planets fits the script
In fact that one in particular is peculiar because in the HARVEST script AT FIRST we think they use them to terraform and then we realize they use them to wipe out life on other planets... It's what he mentions exactly and is a very big coincidence, not at all like the easily deduced things you mentioned.
His vague enigmatic comments about the inclusion of the original alien fit the script
The subject of terraforming and the biological engineering
Its not just the SJ's and the location and the
It just goes on and on....
Every last thing this guy has said can be related to that material...and I only think its a DRAFT.
