Totally agree. It's even more of a kick in the balls to Anderson that Scott has essentially taken a lot of Anderson's ideas and made them better. He's basically just replaced the Predators with the Engineers. I think this is all coincidence mind as I doubt Scott has wasted his time watching AVP.
With regards to Cameron I think Scott has respect for what he did in Aliens but I get the impression he is a little bitter about how the Alien itself has evolved over the years. Aliens is an incredible film and the Queen was an excellent addition but at the same time Cameron is responsible for dumbing down the creature from a horrifying bio mechanical monstrosity to essentially just a bug. In fact one could argue we've never had a sequel to the original film in that sense because that particular creature has never been seen again. All the subsequent films have portrayed it as nothing much more than an insect.

I just want to re-iterate how much I fucking love that Ridley has taken the AVP movies out of the timeline and blown them beyond reachable existence. The real history behind Weyland is about a million times better than Anderson shamelessly shoehorning Lance Henrikson back into the series, Bishop Weyland indeed. Just a shame the recent AVP game was a direct sequel to it.
I'm interested into seeing how Yutani features within, there's been a couple of nice references including one on the timeline pages, but I wonder whether they'll factor it into the film at all. Perhaps Weyland's stock prices fall to rock bottom after the events of Prometheus, allowing a buyout to happen from Yutani and create the company we know.
Also, we all know of the infamous coccoon sequence, and Ridley's original idea for the alien lifecycle, but has he ever gone on record regarding Cameron's approach and his attitude to the creation of the Alien queen to give the alien a much more traditional lifestyle?Last edited by [STARS]TyranT; 05-20-2012, 05:46 AM.

New TV spot is out. I won't post the link as it contains spoilers but take it as a warning to stay away from all Prometheus related reveals from now on. Only 11 days to go!

The sand storm sequence is really good. I like it.
So much we've seen yet I still feel all the real trump cards are being held. Fassbender said in a recent interview the 3rd act is absolutely unbelievable.

Every new thing I see there's something to go apeshit crazy about.
And I just love hearing 'Rated R' at the end. AMAZING.Last edited by [STARS]TyranT; 05-17-2012, 03:08 PM.

Fox have revealed that review summary is a fake anyway. Apparently they are still working on the final cut and haven't screened the movie for anyone.

Lets not post any reviews here at all, or even mention what reviews we may end up reading, k?

What do they highlight as being problems Bats? (Without spoilers)
EDIT: Nevermind, found it.
It's very brief and they sort of skirt around any real issues they had with it. Fake review perhaps? Anything mentioned is seen in the trailers.
I'm actually none too fussed how this one reviews, baring in mind Alien and Blade Runner are two of my favourite movies of all time, and they didn't review over well. I wouldn't be at all surprised if this gets a similar reception.Last edited by [STARS]TyranT; 05-16-2012, 05:39 PM.

First summary review is out from a Slovakian computer magazine. Not negative but not entirely positive either.
