nothing to do but wait for the movie to come out. That's what's frustrating me a little bit anyway.

Well there is a rumored leaked script out if you really wanna open the pandoras box. I wouldn't recommend it because the recent trailer seems to be a strong evidence that the leak is the real deal. So you'd be spoilering everything.

Actually, Blizz got their idea from Games Workshop's Tyranids (who in turn were inspired by Alien, Aliens and H. R. Giger). If you didn't know that, SC was intended to be set in WH40K universe at first but Blizzard didn't get the rights to do it (THQ did later with Dawn of War, EA and Random Games got it before with Space Hulk series and Chaos Gate).

It's not a prequel nor a sequel. It's a whole new movie. It was just being planned to be a prequel, but the idea was dropped by Ridley Scott.

It's definitely a prequel.

The simple fact it has the same ship found crash landed on LV-426 in Alien is proof of this. The same space jockey 'suit' fused to the chair etc.

It won't directly be an Alien film, but it will explain the origins of the race that, according to Ridley Scott, used them as a bioweapon.

I don't want to argue about who stole what from who, in regards to the Xenomorphs/Tyrranids/Zerg (they've all borrowed from each other at this point) but a lot of the stuff from SC was taken DIRECTLY from Aliens.

Don't see how Alien franchise has borrowed anything from StarCraft or Warhammer 40k universe. The fact that H.R. Giger created the creature and everything concerning creatures for the movies was inspired by his ideas or continued with his guidance implies he's the original source.

If anything, it's StarCraft, and it's already been discussed, that has been using themes from these two universes since WH40k is much, much older.

And why is it that hard to imagine that Blizzard likes to pay homage to sci-fi. It's a fanservice if not anything else. A sign of respect. By now, everyone who plays their games should know it.

I dunno I've seen a lot of the leaked scripts from going to the forums over at AVPgalaxy.net and they get some of the details right but don't seem to jive with everything.

re-read these bro, he was saying that SC borrowed from Aliens, not vice versa.

It's interesting to see how the depiction of sci-fi environments changes with time. In the original alien move, everything was so grimy and industrial. Nothing was clean, everything looked like it was well used, and it looked basically like how I imagine the inside of a naval ship would look like.

Now, everything looks so sleek and spic-and-span clean. I'd describe it as almost "I-pad like".

To me, the grimy industrial setting suits sci-fi horror better. It was one thing I liked about Alien (and Aliens) so much, that the environment seemed so well designed and realistic. Sci-fi nowadays always looks too clean, fancy, and what we imagine would be "super-futuristic" (touch-screens, fancy lighting, and holograms everywhere, best example: old stars wars vs. new star wars). I wish people would tone this down in science fiction movies.

But the movie does look totally badass, and I am definitely anticipating this movie more than any other I can foresee in the near future.

Well indeed this "dirty" look was what made Alien(s) unique at the time.
But if you look at the story both makes sense: In Alien, the spaceship/crew was industrial, compareable to today's trucks who simply have to do its tasks and nothing more. In Aliens, we had a military team exploring a colonial outpost. Neither of those equivalents of today would be "clean".

And in this new movie I think we will have a scientific expedition (I assume from the trailers). It makes a lot of sense for this to have a much cleaner or even sterile look.

This makes sense, and as long as it is not being sold under the name "Alien", I do not see to many problems. And if Prometheus will be Sci-fi horror, we will see.
