I mean this is not going to be that good of a film if Ellen Ripley's not in it.

Does not compute.

(coming from a massive Alien/Aliens/Sigourney/Ripley fan)


Yea... id really rather she not be in it cause it wouldnt make sense. Another Bishop on the other hand could be cool.

I'm kinda confused by this as I thought it was Karl Bishop Weyland who founded Weyland Industries... Or did he just found the Weyland-Yutani Combined Industry?


Prometheus is totally ignoring the "canon" of the incredibly shitty AvP movies. As far as Ridley Scott is concerned, they never happened.


Well I wasn't thinking of the AvP movies more like in Alien 3 when he appears as human, and I assumed he was Weyland, which he is. So who is the new guy?

is that who you are talking about?


Michael Bishop II

The designer of the android Bishop, Michael (Lance Henriksen) is a scientist in the employ of the Weyland-Yutani corporation. Ripley meets him in the furnace and first assumes that he is a droid sent by the company, the same model as Bishop, but he reveals who he really is. He also tells her that he and his medical team will extract the alien queen inside her and destroy it. Ripley believes that he is a liar and backs away towards the furnace. He lets his cover slip and pleads that it is a magnificent specimen and that he must have it. She willingly sacrifices herself by free falling into the giant lead smelter, much to his despair.

He is a droid. The last surviving prisoner hits him in the head, which reveals that he is a droid.

Pretty cool, I hope it is similar to Alien in terms of violence and screenplay; it is interesting to see how, for instance, the trailer for Alien is much MUCH more subtle than this one... And from what I have seen from the AvP movies they are all very overt and uninteresting.

In terms of Sci-Fi in general, where this discussion seems to heading, I am much more of a fan of movies that are subtle and, for the most part, cerebral.
2001: A Space Odyssey is, in my opinion, the greatest Sci-Fi film of all time. It is one of the most influential movies of all time, and everything is suggested, not shown, allowing your mind to expand while watching the movie. It is also, for the most part, quite accurate (no sound in space, nothing traveling faster than light).

I also really liked District 9. I think it absolutely brilliant that they made it like a documentary, which starts out slightly comical. Then it eases into a more typical movie, very.. "quietly". It didn't have a happy ending, and I think the acting is absolutely top notch.

I guess because this is more off topic because there was no 'space' in it, but the other Sci-Fis I enjoy are the Matrix, Jurassic Park, A Clockwork Orange, and the first Back to the Future.

I have to agree with the people that think that this movie industry has really dropped off in terms of Sci-Fi. I hated Inception, Independence Day, the most recent Star Trek, that absolutely terrible movie Battle: Los Angeles, the AvP movies... so many bad ones. I really, REALLY hope this one won't follow the trend of showing thousands of aliens in the first 20 minutes, and then the rest is just gore, explosion, lens flare, shaky camera style... etc.

You should watch "Moon", it was really good and its definitely not your typical sci-fi blockbuster type movie.

Yeah, that TED trailer is intriguing. Considering that he reveals himself in the end as Wayland Maybe it's as simple as being the son of Charles Bishop Wayland? Anyways.. I'm pretty sure it's going to be explained but AvP movies are going to be ignored 100%.

By the way android in the movie is going to be called David (Fassbender).

Love the name of the movie. And pretty much in trivia they explained it the same as I imagined. I just hope it's going to be as good on suspense and atmosphere as Alien.

Moon was absolutely awesome, it really snuck under the public radar and nobody really talks about it (I guess I shouldnt be surprised), but it was great.

I also really recommend 'Brazil' (which is kind of sci fi, as much as clockwork orange is I guess, dystopian, but kind of not), and THX1138-- they're maybe not for everybody, but they're smart, awesome, multilayered, and visually brilliant.

I have been meaning to watch Moon for about a year and keep forgetting. I have it's trailer on some other movie, but I haven't thought about it in a while. Thanks.

I really hate to say it, but I refuse to get hyped for this movie. I'm a long time Alien/Pred fan. I used to actually have the first 6-7 comic book series(which were quite good) and with the exception of the first AvP (which kinda parelled the first comic series), most of the recent movies have been major dissappointments. The shortening of the alien life cycle to about 5 mins (facehugger- to eating predator face) really annoys me on levels I can barely begin to express. Call it the ultimate immersion breaker.

I used to like trumpets, now I prefer pause. "Don't move a muscle JP!"

Prometheus is the only movie / any activity I have definitely 110% penciled in that I'm going to do this summer. I'm getting so stoked for this movie, you can tell Ridley Scott has really poured all he has into it.

Most people think they were awful and I'm definately one of them, they butchered both Alien & Predator saga with those.

First was not that bad, afformention alien life cycle aside. Second, set coulda used some lighting, and characters worth caring about. Only person I didn't want to die was the lil girl.

The life-cycle thing. First alien movie guy is out cold for a day, wakes up for exam and spaghetti then BAM, how you like them noodles.

By the time AVP is out, you can get a quickie with your GF and refill your drink and the alien is adult and rampaging. It's not like the biggest thing ever, but for a long timer like myself, it sure it good for quick cheap thrills, but on repeated viewings, it's the sort of thing that stands out more and more.

WTF? We have a teaser for the release of a trailer? It's like having an adverisement for an advertisement! What is wrong with people?
