I just finished watching alien with commentary and I never noticed that the "rape"shot within lambert's death scene was actually a leftover shot from Brett's death scene. They just recolored the pants to match Lambert's.

Cool stuff!

Which commentary did you listen do?

There is one on original standalone DVD release with Ridley on his own smoking a cigar. (He compares Ash to being a replicant in this one) or the Quadrilogy one with other people on it.
 
I just listened to the Quadrilogy commantary,and on It he calls Ash a replicant.Another thing relvent to Prometheus Is him mentioning the ALien we know came about because It was birhted from human.It's possable In prometheus any creatures may be before they started being bursted from Humans.

It is the one with the whole cast (minus Ian Holm), the one passed over from the Quadrilogy set.

If Scott mentioned it then there is some truth to the matter. These people getting pissed off about it should chill out. It doesn't effect them in anyway personally what people think about these films and how they connect them. Before they start burning people at the stake perhaps they should listen to the commentaries then form an opinion on the matter.

When some clueless fanboys run around spouting bull**** without anything to back it up, yeah, I've already formed an opinion on the matter.

What we've got here is Ridley idly mentioning on some commentary that he could *envision* the Nostromo crew having a drink in some Blade Runner bar; we've got fx crew recycling props and CGI from another movie (a very common practice, even today); and we've got Ridley Scott directing both films. From that flimsiest of excuses, some people have leaped to the hilarious conclusion that Ridley Scott has said uncategorically that Blade Runner and Alien are in a shared universe. And that's absolute and total horse****. You wanna speculate, go ahead and do it, all day long. But when you start trying to pass it off as *fact,* I'm calling you on it.

Especially when it comes to Ridley Scott, my favorite director of all time.

I'm willing to drop all talk about Blade Runner from here on out, since it's pretty damn clear that it has nothing to do with Alien, and even less to do with Prometheus. Some people who don't know what they're talking about brought it up, and it doesn't belong here.

So. Prometheus. How 'bout that giant head, anyway?
 
Apparently it's fake. Should've known better not to analyze the blue jeans :P
 
I guess they want to change things around to give us a fresh trailer.

Really liked the leaked version but oh well.

Well that sucks. I tried watching the leak but turned it off after 15 seconds because the quality was so bad. Looks like I'll have to wait longer.

You mad, bro? Lol even after all that I still don't understand why you have any reason to be mad. If in my mind I think Blade Runner and Harry Potter are in the same universe you can't change that so why bother getting your knickers in a twist? If some want to believe Blade Runner and Alien are the same universe they are free to do so. Not to mention there is little evidence to indicate whether it is or isn't so really you are no more right than the supporters of this theory. They are as entitled to their idea on the matter as you are difference is you are being mean for no reason.
 
Even if it is a matter of point of view / opinion, being wrong is still being wrong :)

As I said there is no defenitive answer on the matter and until ridley Scott says one way or the other they can believe what they want. We didnt create the universe. Scott has final say. Its all fan speculation at this point. No call for others to be *******s to others for their ideas.
 
Blade Runner is a story from P K Dick.
Alien is a story from D O'Bannon ( even if Cameron & friends wrote the script of Aliens, the basics are from O'Bannon ).
Not in the same universe.

But you are correct, I don't care what some fans can think, it is trivial but it is still wrong ( the last part is me taunting you, don't take offence ).

If someone likes to think that Blade Runner and Alien share a universe, then let it be. Don't need the thought police "calling" anybody out on a public forum. Note to internet users: people will think differently to you!

As for FOX holding back the Prometheus trailer, it's likely to discourage further leaks. A sort of punishment. Very Promethean :P
 
Woah, didnt know Patrick Wilson was in this but he is according to the trailer delay article, another VERY GOOD actor in my eyes, the cast for this is superb!

Being from different authors is hardly proof that they aren't in the same universe. :whatever:

See Cthulhu Mythos.
 
In the case of Cthulhu I agree because he was specifically named in the non HP Lovecraft novels.

Anyway, if some people fancy ( not sure about this expression but oh well ) to think that the 2 movies are linked it is fine. I was just expressing my disagreement, not judging.

Now, I will put myself in a waiting stance while waiting for this elusive trailer :)
 
I don't think they are connected personally. But for the Replicant/Synthetic thing, I think Bat-Mite's theory from the previous page is plausible.

The Synthetic's like Ash and Bishop could be downgraded versions of the Replicants. It makes sense that they would be downgraded after what happened with the rogue Replicants. With no free will, therefore no need for limited life spans. Easily controllable robots to do as the Company wishes.
 
More on Aliens in Prometheus

I’ve got a little bit of news for everyone following the previous report about Aliens being seen on the set of Prometheus. According a very reliable source, he has seen the original Giger’s design Alien on the set of Prometheus during the summer.
According to the source the suit appeared to be dark, possiblely brown as the original Giger suit was. It the skull was definitely domed but my source was unable to see if it was transparent or featured the original human skull (not that it could be seen in the move anyway).
