Add the Alien Eggs and the brief shot of an Alien crawling on the "Telescope" and it it's hard *not* to call this an Alien Prequel.

Note those "eggs" appear to be manufactured

Ok, to make it clear, Promethius IS NOT AN ALIEN PREQUEL. http://moviesblog.mt...x-studio-chief/
If you looked at the whole movie, 95 percent of it is entirely unto itself. Ridley said it right: If you're a fan and you look closely, you'll spot strands of DNA."

If i take a crap and write Weyland-Yutani on it, or make it horseshoe shaped, does that make it an alien prequel, or is it still a steaming pile of crap with aliens stuff written into it?

Don't get me wrong, i do think it COULD be a good movie, but why put aliens stuff into it if it has NOTHING to do with the aliens series (other than of course the Weyland-Yutani/horseshoe shaped ship) THAT is what has me pissed off.
The movie is its own thing, leave Alien/s the **** alone and stop trying to create hype by using Alien/s.
The fact that they have had to do this has made my enthusiasm for the movie PLUMMET. If they had left the alien "dna" out of it, then yeah, I would probably still be very interested in the movie.

P.S. Thread title needs changed.

Hey why all the stress, just enjoy it for what it is, a movie based on imagination (as are 98.3% of movies)? :console:

as has been suggested it's something made to entertain, no one's trying to rewrite the tax system, sit back relax and enjoy but don't prejudge because of media hype, personally looking forward to it and see it as a standalone movie and will revfiew any connections if and when they're made in the movie..............

Personally I can't wait to see what the film is really all about. From what I see in the trailer and the possible time line I wouldn't be surprised to see this film as part one of maybe other prequels? Yes I think it is a prequel but maybe not the only one... Who knows? Anyway, bring it on IMAX 3D!!!

James Cameron to direct PROMETHEUS Sequel?

If so that's huge news. We all know how good ALIENS was. Can lightning strike twice for James Cameron and the Alien franchise?

There's a lot of buzzing that the movie has an Illuminati based theme ..... whilst this guy's a crank, it will be interesting to see if any of this is true (note the video was uploaded on 30 March .... it might be an April fools joke).

They certainly are doing a great job at creating a back story!

Just think what this approach could do for product placement once the Marketers get wind of it ... whilst placement within a movie has effectively been banned they could do whatever they like via the web.

Does it mean that if there is sequel to the prequel, it will be Promtheuses (which would be hell for anyone with a lisp)
a la Alien and Aliens ?
