I think Alien and the small conversation Bishop had in Aliens sure explains why everyone distrusts Androids so much in the Alien universe :) I'm hoping for more of the same from our friend David in Prometheus :D

Well, ya, they did explain it, but I want to see it. I think we might get that scene in this movie though. Would be a good way to tie them together as well.

How is this a prequel to Aliens?

I thought this was an official prequel to Alien, so it ends roughly where Alien begins with the ship discovering the face hugger

yeah the small david trailer/feature was good, i think there is going to be that dynamic of good/bad question mark, especially when david said he can make decisions which ordinary humans might not be able to do :D

all military stuff is built with the " cheapest " price, Airforce 1 is still run on XP systems, as well as Marine 1.

Even worse look at this.

I know but some people said this movie can't not work as an alien spiritual prequel since the spaceship is more technically advanced than the ones featured in Alien and Aliens. Since the ones in Alien and Aliens are a mining cargo and a military spaceship and the one in Prometheus is a scientific spaceship i think it is actually logicial for it to be more advanced.

Same. I'm thinking this movie will have the android that we hear about in the first Alien. The reason why everyone distrust androids so much will hopefully be revealed :)

think it was just Ripley that distrusted androids and thats cause one tried to kill her...

Ah, my memory isn't what it used to be. I kept thinking she already had a hatred for them due to some "urban legend" of a android freak out attack on some people. But ya, it was in Alien when she was attacked by Ash that set that distrust in her. Damn lol.

Prometheus has been passed uncut with a 15 certificate in the UK.

The news follows reports that Ridley Scott's sci-fi blockbuster will be given an R rating in the US.

Scott previously hinted that studio executives could tone down the content of the film to secure a more lucrative PG-13 or 12A certificate, but it will arrive in both territories without cuts or edits.

Prometheus, which stars Noomi Rapace, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba and Michael Fassbender, tells the story of explorers on an alien planet. It marks the director's first sci-fi venture since 1982's Blade Runner.

The movie will be connected to the Alien universe, but Scott has insisted that it will stand alone and tell its own story.

Prometheus is scheduled for release on June 1 in the UK and June 8 in the US.

To promote the release of Prometheus, FOX France have transformed an abandoned underground train station in Paris. They have reopened the Saint-Martin station, located between R?publique and Strasbourg-Saint-Denis, on Line 9. This station was closed in 1939 and has not been in use ever since. The promotion will run from 16 to 25 May.

Wow, really, really, REALLY, looking forward to this movie!

I watched the teasers previously, but am trying to steer clear of the main trailers for fear that they may give too much of the story away.

The viral clips are still okay, though, and this latest one posted above is chillingly good!

I may even have to make a trip to another city to watch in in IMAX-3D.

Yet another movie where we find aliens and they are hostile.. How original...

Can't we find a new earth and they actually be friendly?

What would be the story then? Finding a new planet with inhabitants that are friendly sounds pretty boring and is more inline with the Discovery Channel, not a major box office film.

There are plenty of sci-fi books with friendly aliens and they seem to work out fine. It is possible but main catch wouldnt be action but something more intricate like character development or interesting conversations.

Anyhow i am still very eager to see Prometheus :)

    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays

      The only difference here is that you think you came up with these reasons. You didn't. These age old fearmongering lies (that were NEVER true) were funded by and the anger stoked by Putin through proxies like Farage (and later in the USA, Trump) and filtered down through the skinheads, Neonazis, etc. until it reached the uninformed, ignorant, and gullible -- never realizing they were being played for fools against their own best interests. Even now, despite all of the EVIDENCE proving that Brexit was a terrible mistake for ALL citizens of the UK and that its supporters were tricked by Putin's proxies into sabotaging their own nation, you're still here defending these well-known lies as if they were ever true. Not only are they not true. They NEVER were. So, when are you going to realize that you were lied to and actually get angry at the liars and charlatans who lied to you, instead of blaming the innocent people they lied to you about?

      Ooooh! Two editorial from Paul Hill on the same day! Is it my birthday or something? 😉 Okay, let's see if I get it right. SearXNG develops a meta-search engine app. Individuals install it on their relays. Users connect to these relays to have their own identity-stripping meta-search engine instead of relying on DuckDuckGo. And some of these volunteers have listed their SearXNG instances on SearX.space. That was a lot of wrap my head around. I hope I haven't missed anything.
