MemberOvomorphApr-05-2012 11:38 PMThis could potentially be a SPOILER.
So it the old "We Vs. They. Winners gets all resources" scenerio? Been done a few times already. I am expecting something more original.
Good post though!

Thanks for your comments! I really appreciate it! Maybe this will have a new twist on the old plot device and from what it seems it's only a minor plot device!

Cripes, you nailed it! The manic pursuit of this plays into the idea that an intention to visit an invitation goes incredibly wrong, all at the behest of corporate conglomerates trying to one up another.
Good call, Chief.

Why thank you!'
I think after Prometheus Mr. Weyland dies/killed and Weyland goes down in profit so it merges with Yutani or they both realize they'd work better together!

MemberOvomorphApr-06-2012 12:19 AMThat description has been around for a while now. I've been developing my own theories under the assumption that there is or was some kind of conflict on the planet before the Prometheus gets there, hence the dead SJs.

MemberOvomorphApr-06-2012 4:59 AMSeems fake, or purposely misleading. I really don't see Weyland's purpose for traveling to the planet being colonization. Doesn't seem like Ridley would go that route. I honestly think that Weyland's purpose for going to this planet is to see if it really is where the creators of mankind are so he can learn, or steal whatever he needs in order to create non-synthetics aka human beings.

MemberOvomorphApr-06-2012 6:47 AMWasn't April Fools last week?
Besides, in the Alien Universe mythos, I believe the "Superpowers" are actually the UNITED AMERICAS vs. an EASTERN bloc which contains Britain & Asia... But the "coporations" exhert a great deal of control.. they are like defacto governments.

Ridley has said he has wanted to do this since the first film and that it was his intention to do it in his first film but he could not because of the suits at Fox.
He has also in his writtings through out the years consistently referred to that race as a Terraforming-Bioweapon

MemberOvomorphApr-06-2012 9:04 AMThis has been around for a while and it is probably official. The AMC trailer on youtube had the same description in it.

This is NOT fanboy BS as you say! This is an educated guess made from a youtube video description made by a respectable company! I don't see how this is any different from any ideas you have about this movie! I'm not trying to pick a fight just defending my ideas!
@Spartacus
I totally agree with you but the interesting part of the description is that it says INDIGENOUS Bio-mechanoid killers meaning they either live/come from there! Could this be our Xeno will appear partially a cameo even?
@Canadaphil
I respect your ideas but I think the two superpowers mentioned aren't neccesarily political and I think that all alien universe canon made after Aliens will be rendered non-canon after Prometheus!

MemberOvomorphApr-18-2012 8:31 PMAbout two weeks late on this but yes, it is fanboy BS that has been swirling around the internet. There is not factually based leak from AMC. That video and supposed leak description is , follow me....Bull SHit.
How about this....just wait for the movie to come out and enjoy all of the viral campaign.

MemberOvomorphApr-18-2012 9:24 PMHey Mizere, you just gave me the impression you did not see the video because if you did you would have most certainly also noted that it was the exact same regular trailer we have seen and all dissected 1000 times already and mentioned that no where in it is their any such description nor was there proof of one in the OP's original post. Follow me here, the way you addressed the whole thing made me suspicious. If you haven't seen the video why would you bring it up at all? I agree it's probably not true but then again the scenario is very plausible and I would like to be certain one way or another. Can you produce the Actual AMC plot description for the film?
So I went looking, and found this, it was easy enough...
It's the official AMC Theater Plot Description for the film!

So you see, it turns out you were right man, but just in a real NASTY way!
Food for thought Maybe ?
