I just finished reading the early Prometheus script by Damon Lindelof entitled Paradise. Even in this early form it is clear that he deserves huge kudos for bringing this script home. I give Jon Spaihts credit for dreaming up the rough sketches for the script but this was a fine polishing of Spaihts' work. Thanks to the provider of this great find. I now feel like I understand the origins of Prometheus and I can see why they moved a couple of scenes around in the final cut. Everyone did such a fine job in constructing this epic tale and I can only wonder what the sequel will bring.

Yes I agree, while I enjoyed Spaith's script I much preferred the changes Lindelof brought to it.

Agreed. It's so much more sophisticated and nuanced. What was also interesting is that in this early draft of the script he addressed points that people complained about in the final cut of the film. For example, in Weyland's speech to the crew he mentions his appreciation at the crew's greed over their better judgement for having come out without knowing what the mission was. For some reason, this bit of dialogue was cut from the final version of the film. Also, it would have been interesting to see Vicker's smile-less smile scene, even though it would have been a quick scene.

Notice that Fifled and Millburns roles are reversed in the draft.
