But how could he be Charles Weyland? Charles Weyland died in Alien vs Predator, which played out years and years before Prometheus in the timeline...

This makes more sense, and it is a welcome addition that we get more backstory and substance to the movie than the first few scenes showing the Prometheus ship and the crew and we have no clue what brought them there.

Very interesting. Can't wait to see how this plays out in film.

Really? I can think of quite a few things more interesting than who funds the mission.

Obviously there's more then just a name connection. Space Jockey, a Derelict class ship, Gigers influence...something was mistranslated.
Besides the fans i dont think the "normal" folks even remember a space jockey being in the Alien movie.

It boggles my mind that AVP is even being brought up here

Tangakkai

This really clears things up...

now we even know what the connecting plot point is with the first alien movie...

I'm ready for Sir Scott's new universe, bring it on  :)

This guy can read my mind. I didn't use boggle though.

DiabloGuapo

The only connection? Yeah, sure  ::). How about, oh I don't know, the freakin' Derelict?!

I wonder if Peter Weyland is Australian the same as Pearce?

I wonder will  Idris Elba will be using an English or American accent?

I wonder how truely international the cast will be portrayed.

Why can't Ridley just be straight on whether this film is and Alien Prequel or not?

what if.........
01. This is not the same planet as alien
02. This is not the same deralict as in alien
03. The parasite that lives in the sj is not the same as the one in alien
04. the sj is not the same one that is in alien
05. none of the crew or distant relations are connected to anybody in alien.......apart from the company boss
06. A egg , facehugger , chestburster or fully grown xeno is not mentioned or seen

can somebody please explain to me how this is going to be a prequel?????
please allow me to clear this up for you all real quick........

ready..........drum roll..............brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

bram stokers dracula is not a prequel to blade trinity :)



instead of seeing one room in the deralict we will see many.
instead of a dead sj in a chair we will see one with his head cut off.
instead of chestbursters we will get headbursters :P ( my thinking for why they find a sj with his head cut off)
instead of one monster we will get a few :P
instead of one survivor we will get none :)

just some thoughts........

While not a direct prequel, that doesn't negate it from linking to Alien somehow. Could be something as simple as Weyland, or as big as an Alien, we just don't know yet, and probably won't until we see the film for ourselves.

That's just semantics. :)

It is, it's not exactly a big secret.
