ago, there were intelligent creatures everywhere.” It is a time when HR
Giger’s monster didn’t exist. “I have to create something new.”

Now what this means exactly we don’t know but JoBlo took this to mean
we’ll actually see millions of years ago.

Dam, i was getting my hopes up:

Der grösste: Alien, Teil 5. «Ich arbeite dran. Es wird schnell gehen.» Nach Hollywood-Zeitrechnung heisst das: Der Film wird in zwei Jahren rauskommen. Die Handlung? Eine Art «Zurück in die Zukunft». Lange bevor Sigourney Weaver es an Bord ihres Raumschiffs mit dem Alien aufnahm.

Which basically means in a shorter version that He is working on Alien, Part 5 and it will be released in 2 years.
The direction? It will be a Back to the future style, long before Sigourney took it up with the Alien.

Then i saw the date the article was written.

Oh damn. Didn't check the date on that one, just picked the newest Prometheus related news from AVPGalaxy.

Sorry about that.

Prometheus News | Posted by Darkness on 22 Apr 2011 11:32 GMT

AlienPrequelNews have posted some interesting details on Prometheus. First, there was a call sheet which listed the following actors and their characters: Charlize Theron (Vickers), Idris Elba (Janek), Emun Elliot (Chance) and Benedict Wong (Ravel). Their source also saw three aliens and gave details about the costumes.

“Though security on the set is very tight with the good weather, dock doors have been open and cast and crew have been enjoying lunch outdoors. I can confirm seeing 3 aliens having lunch. Not the whole costume but blueish costumes and the unmistakable heads hanging around their shoulders”

“The alien heads were the same shape but no markings, only a plane bronze colour. As for the suits black boots and shoulder pads the rest was a Chelsea blue body suit could be for SFX, all the sets around the back of the bond stage have huge green chromokey maybe that’s a clue. I have witnessed foam cut outs of unmistakable aliens all cut in half lengh ways so they could be in the floor walls etc and very much from the original film.”

“I managed to enter the bond stage one weekend when no filming was sheduled all I can say is there is a very very long tunnel that leads to an enormous structure at the back of the stage which is the same height as the stage and probably extends out another 200 ft. All of these sets are surrounded by wood foam and scaffold so sid not see inside, I think this is were the Space Jockey set is.”

Thanks to Darkoo for the news.

That's nothing. I saw a werewolf drinking a piña colada at Trader Vic's.






P.S. And his hair was perfect.

First photos from the set leaked.

An Alien movie without Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley ?

An Alien movie with a 60+ years old Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley ?

So the only chance for a good Alien could be a prequel.

But that is only my two pennies on it...
