Dont want to get too geeky on this, but it would make no sense in my opinion to totally ignore the tech that cameron gave us in aliens. you dont actually get that much in alien, and it is actually amazing what we can get out of that small piece of film making. bunch of guys (and ladies obviously) off on some deep space factory job. cameron took it in a different direction, but in my opinion, equally good when you consider its target market. like everybody else im guessing, im looking forward to this movie more than any other in my life. im a total star wars buff since i was 3 at empire strikes back time, and could not wait for the prequels, but this will (hopefully) be the best example of how sci-fi should be made so far. i dont want to get too far into the ins and outs of the movie, and certainly dont want to be talking about whats guaranteed based on a few clips from a trailer, but i do love hearing peoples opinions on what can happen. only thing that annoys me is my educated friends who dont even know prometheus is coming. the best part of this (again, hopefully) is that 30 years from now we'll all be able to look back and say we were part of it from the start, vural websites and all

Hi! Been a fan of the Alien movies since around 1982 when I first got to see the original movie on Australian TV. Since then I've read a watched everything Alien I could get my hands on! The new movie looks absolutely fantastic! I can't wait to see how Mr Scott expands and elaborates on this already great story/mythos, and the origin of the species. (If that's at all part of the film!?) Cheers!

Hi everybody, I'm been lurking here for quite awhile now. Finally getting the nerve to create a profile and start posting. I've really enjoyed reading up on everyone's theories about the film. I'm a huge fan of all the Alien movies. Well, not so much a fan of Alien Resurrection. Alien is by far my favorite. Another favorite movie of mine is Ridley's Blade Runner. Like everyone else here I can't wait to see Prometheus. I want to give a shout out to any other ladies that are here. Are there any?

Yep,I can count myself as a female. I have never introduced myself, so.. Hey! I'm Ruth (as you can see). I can't remember how I found this site, but when I did, I got really interested and started reading everything here. And then decided to join you all and start discussing! I'm much much younger than you all probably are (I guess), but I've been a fan of Alien and other space/horror/etc stories since my childhood. Thanks to my parents. And yes, English is my second language, so sorry for the mistakes!

Greetings everyone. I have been a fan of ALIEN ever since it came out on theateres back in 1979. I saw it for the first time somtime in 1980 when a BETAMAX copy turned up in my house. It was a copy of a copy so it was terribly grainy. I must have been 8 or 9 years old at the time. It stimulated my imagination in ways 'Star Wars' (or 'Close Encounters' for that matter) never did. For me, nothing can top the original; but I do like all four chapters in the alien quartet. Cheers!

Hi! I am a lung fluke, more formally known as Paragonimus Kellicotti. I cause pneumonia. AND...wait for it...I'm a chick. I have been a sci fi geek since grade school. Mostly influenced by my Dad, who brought me to see some movies at an inappropriately young age. The first one I remember was Event Horizon, and I was in seventh grade; you'd think I wouldn't touch sci-fi with a ten foot pole after that. Instead I was addicted. I love the way these films don't even need to do much to frighten us. While there are your typical horror-film-like-moments (i.e. scary music+slow camera movements+cats moving at inappropriate moments); but those moments aren't even necessary because at the heart of it all, the most frightening thing is the fact that we are insignificant. We have the power thought, we have complex emotions, but there is a whole universe out there that doesn't care we exist. AND WE DON"T EVEN KNOW WHERE IT ENDS! (or what's out there) If we were allowed to throw out profanity on this site I would write how *%)@*#(#(@()@)@)@ excited I am for this movie!!! P.S. I want a t-shirt! I graduate professional school on the day it comes out and I would totally wear it under my robes!

Hello everyone. I am really excited to see this movie. I'm sure all of you are too. I think I've isolated a pic of the space jockey from the latest trailer. I'll post it as soon as I figure out how to.

Hello everybody! Great to know that there are so many of us out there that are crazy about Ridley Scott's work.I for one cannot wait till opening night for the film and will probably camp out a couple of days before the show hits. I am a collector and cannot wait for the NECO products that will be available.In a nut shell this is what I think the movie will be about(My Opinion). We try to terra-form a planet,find evil bio-mech creatures highly advanced with a passion for Earth's natural resources and Human DNA.My favorite character is "Dallas" and all I can say is this is this film may change Sci-fi movies forever like "ALIEN" did.Anyway Goodnight Nostromo wherever your pieces are from Central Texas!

Hi everyone! Ive been reading and writing to this forum since september i think, and I love this community and excitement that we share. And I hope it continues on even after THE MOVIE is released :) Must have been 9 or 10 when i saw Alien first, and its the greatest movie for me too. The other one on par with that is Contact. Im Hungarian guy, living in New York. Peace to all ;)

Hello everyone, I am CAVX. Pretty excited to learn (hopefully) answers to many questions raised since 1979. The original ALIEN is IMO still one of the best Sci-Fi/Horror films ever made and I am so glad R. Scott is charge of this project.

Greetings from Colombia!! I'm staring to feel a bit obsessed about this movie, hope is worth it. To be honest I don't like to read about what the movie is gonna be, it may ruin the movie for me, but i just can't help it. Anyway, thanks for this amazing site!!

Hello everyone! I have seen and love every Alien film. When I found out that there would be Prequel I was so excited, so when the new trailer came out I almost died in happiness! So I joined here to find out more awesome news about Prometheus. Look's like it's going to be a great movie!

Looking forward to this movie and since the 80's haven't been since. I'm sorta an undercover Sci-Fi geek, always drawing futuristic machines and such when I was young, not so much now.

Hi all, I've been a fan of the original since I saw it at the drive-in as a boy. It scared yet fascinated me intensely and has become my all-time favorite movie. It's great to see so many like-minded people here anticipating Prometheus and discussing the original. Thanks for putting up a great sight! J

Arcane Radio checking in. long time fan of the movies. I'm so glad the 5th movie is Weaverless. It was getting old. Time for new characters and new situations.

Hi there, Im a huge fan of the Alien franchise, and Predator franchice (though not the AvP franchise!). I think the first time I saw Alien was when I was 4 - not the best bed-time viewing for a young kid lol. Also used to be a hardcore AvP gamer. I've been anticipating something from Sir Scott for a while now, and looks like he definitely wont disappoint :). I think Ridley s one of the best directors out there and Im a great fan of his other works too - Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven, etc etc

Hi all! Alien and AlienS fan here requesting permission to board. Just saw those two movies recently, and man do they still hold up today. Hey, does this mean James Cameron will be making PrometheusES? (tudug-dish!)

Hi all, I guess I'm just your average middle aged fan boy, since being scared senseless by O'Bannon's/Giger's/Scott's collective story/design/vision since the late '70s. Like everyone else, I'm greatly anticipating this movie's release and hope it lives up to everyones expectations...

Hello fellow Prometheus-enthusiasts, I was only 5 or 6 years old when I saw my first "Alien" movie. I clearly remember the scenes where one of the inmates (forgot his name, sorry) on Fiorina 161 gets "sucked" into one of the air vents and was shredded to pieces, and the 2nd jaw of the alien coming from it's mouth. Those scenes scared the hell out of me and I couldn't sleep for weeks; I looked for the alien at my grandma's house, I avoided the "Aliens" toys at our local toy store (wish I hadn't), etc. When I was 12 or so I watched the first movie and it blew me away. The story, the characters, the soundtrack, the lighting, the claustrophobic spaces, the alien of course, it all seemed real or plausible. It still is my favourite SF-movie of all time and I encourage all my friends to see it. I'm 24 now and May 30 is rapidly becoming the most important date of 2012 to me. I'm even doing a presentation about Ridley Scott at my school in a few weeks and i'm definitely going to show them one of the Prometheus trailers (the IMAX trailer perhaps? Any thoughts?) I'm not a person who goes to cinemas very often (last one I saw was Avatar and it didn't live up to my expectations, despite the amazing visuals) but for this one I'm willing to camp in line, not only because Ridley Scott is directing it, but also because I just know this movie cannot fail. It will be everything we hoped for and more. I hope this information pleases you all. Ps: sorry about possible spelling mistakes; English isn't my native tongue, Dutch is. Greetings from Belgium!
