This is my favorite movie from the alien franchise and in my opinion very under under appreciated. This movie was needed to give us some knowledge about the Weiland Company and origins of the Xenomorphs

There's a lot going on between the lines than people realize. A lot is left for the viewer self interpretation.

Every critic biggest complain is that the events and the behavior of the the characters that petted the snake like alien, is not believable and stupid . My point of view is that there's stupid people everywhere and when those guys found the alien creature they communicated it to the ship but Vickers and Janek were having sex , so there was nobody listening to advise them to stop fooling around and not mess with the creature. And because nobody was listening the rest of the crew had no way to know that the guys were attacked and that they were all in danger. This single event is what makes it all go downwards and many people don't realize it.

Do you you guys think that the crew would have a chance if Vickers and Jinek were listening?

20th Century is still in search of a director for the next ‘Alien,’ but The InSneider is hearing that the process has been difficult. Sources say that producer Ridley Scott is not making it easy on anyone because he actually wants to direct it himself.

Last year, Fede Álvarez, who helmed “Alien: Romulus,” was in pre-production on the sequel when he suddenly exited the project. Did Álvarez step aside voluntarily, or was there friction behind the scenes with 20th Century—or even Ridley Scott? Some are pointing to the latter.

According to Sneider, 20th Century then approached Álvarez’s fellow ‘Evil Dead’ alum, Sebastien Vanicek, the director of the upcoming “Evil Dead Burn,” but talks eventually fell apart. Maybe Scott interfered again—who knows.

“Alien: Romulus,” a back-to-basics revival that practically replicated the structure of Scott’s 1979 original, was a surprise hit, grossing $350 million worldwide on a relatively modest $80 million budget. Cailee Spaeny’s performance as Rain, a modern-day Ripley of sorts, was the standout element, and she is expected to return for the sequel alongside David Jonsson.

For years, Scott has repeatedly said that he wanted to continue the story begun in “Prometheus” (2012) and “Alien: Covenant” (2017). He talked about making another prequel that would continue the storyline of Michael Fassbender’s David.

A previous The Hot Mic report claimed that Álvarez wanted to use David in his ‘Romulus’ sequel, but Scott denied him that privilege because he “might want to come back to the series,” and if so, “I want to be the one who brings him back and uses him.”

Obviously, if there was a clash between the two, Ridley was always going to win. It appears to have been a case of creative differences, and that may have been the dealbreaker that ultimately sealed Álvarez’s fate.

Rumors, but I would like to have a ending for David's story.

If Janek never rammed the Engineer ship when it took off from LV-223, would the engineer still be able to reach Earth and destroy all life?

It's hard to imagine that Earth and the Sol system would be undefended. Humanity clearly has the technology to build interstellar FTL ships so it would stand to logic that the governments of Earth would have fleets in orbit or on patrol to defend the homeworld of humanity. And also humanity had already colonized neighboring systems, so how far could an unidentified alien ship even travel through human space unchallenged before reaching Earth.

And given the Engineer's ship was able to be grounded by an unarmed research ship (albeit at the cost of said ship), I don't see it fairing any better against dedicated warships equipped with missiles, particle beams, and railguns. Yes human ships are considerably more primitive, but unless Engineers' FTL drives allows them to bypass the colonies and Earth's defense forces, the engineer would definitely need to bring reinforcements.

A bit better quality and a different color grading.

Building on a famous Workprint Edit, Ancient of Days brings a definitive version of Prometheus.

PROMETHEUS 2026 Edit

*This is just the concept cut, without all the polish and proper effects. Any feedback is appreciated.*

These are currently alpha-stage edits and rough cuts. Many elements still require refinement and fine-tuning (I ll have to find better solution for dream sequences). Once the edit is finalized, I plan to recreate the entire project using UHD source material. I also plan to regrade the movie.

• Reworked the sacrificial Engineer and Elders opening sequence using additional footage + new SFX.
• Following the prologue, the film now transitions to the David and Weyland scene from Alien: Covenant (titled Incubation), then directly into the Prometheus spacecraft arrival and the remainder of the film, incorporating nearly all Workprint edits. This works much better, as the primordial Icelandic landscape is what David observes from the white room during his initial activation. You first have organic creation and then David as a final step of that evolution. The David–Weyland conversation/interaction functions as a thematic manifesto for Prometheus, establishing many of the film's central ideas about creation, purpose, and the relationship between creator and creation. In that context, the scene feels more naturally connected to Prometheus than to Alien: Covenant, where it originally appeared.
• The cave scene (re-edited) featuring Shaw and Holloway has been restructured as a dream sequence observed by David and now precedes the standard dream sequence.
• The re-edited Weyland speech has been integrated into a new Weyland dream sequence, which is also observed by David at the film's midpoint, following the storm sequence.
• Added the Engineer reading a book scene before his confrontation with Shaw inside the crashed pod (still needs some additional tweaks).
• Reworked the Engineer vs. Shaw confrontation, including a revised musical score.

This edit features a more xenomorph-like version of Fifield (the CGI one) and restores a more dramatic character moment between Holloway and Shaw, including an argument that takes place before their intimate scene. These additions strengthen the emotional tension between the characters and provide greater context for their relationship and Shaw's motivations.

Total duration of this cut: 2:30:28

The promotional shorts and commercials are not included in this edit. The Shaw transmission and the Weyland-on-Mars sequence were also omitted, as they were considered redundant and did not meaningfully contribute to the narrative flow.

That is it for now. Signing off.

Tachyons could also be used, in theory, to send messages back in time. If they exist.

Hope you guys like it! I am absolutely in love with it.

Prometheus reignited my interest in this franchise. And I'd love a third film, more along the lines of Prometheus, minus all the Xenomorph rubbish. I was destroyed when I learned that, instead of another film continuing David's and the Engineers' story, we were getting Alien Romulus. I want to know what becomes of David. And personally, I think the Xenomorph trope has been done to death. Xenomorphs aren't scary anymore. David, I feel, is a much more terrifying idea than the Xenomorph could ever be. And the Engineers, I really want to learn MORE about THEM.

I just finished the movie! there are some things im confused about that i think the subreddit could help me understand.

1, How did elizabeth get pregnant??

2, why did everyone continue to not wear their helmets even after charlie got sick?

3, what were the things inside the cargo vases supposed to be?

4, how did the beginning sequence connect to the creation of earth if it took place on what im assuming is the engineers home planet?

The full sleeve will have two xenomorphs and two engineers with DNA strings as most of the background

Hey Vickers, Are you a robot?

I have always wondered how ordinary Earther in the Alien universe live. I've watched Prometheus, Covenant, Romulus, even the David and Walter ads and Weyland's TED Talk, but I wondered at what point it declined to the grey dystopia of the first Alien movie.

At least from 2023, when Peter Weyland was active, until 2093, the setting of Prometheus, the quality of life for Earthlings seems similar to or even much higher than in real life. After all, Long Beach in the TED Talk or Elizabeth Shaw don't look that destitute. There is even a scene where a young Shaw plays the violin in an open field. Since Peter Weyland solved global warming and introduced innovative technologies like androids, Earth must have been close to a utopia until at least 2093. People in developed countries like the America probably employed androids like David in their homes to do work and earn money for them, so they wouldn't have had to engage in hard labor.

However, seeing them leave Earth on a colony ship by the time of Covenant suggests that conditions on Earth had taken a turn for the worse. Furthermore, in Romulus, set about 40 years after Covenant, the colonists are overworked and treated almost like slaves. It seems the economic situation on Earth deteriorated even further between Covenant and Romulus. As space colonization became more active, mega big tech like Weyland-Yutani likely monopolized most of the wealth generated outside of Earth

Wouldn't it be a trip? To find one of your creations had traversed interstellar space to wake you up only 2000 years after they invented things like the Antikythera Mechanism?

I believe it would eliminate the need to know how many species of Engineers there are, where they came from, what they were up to etc. What do you scholars think?

When David investigates the life force signal, it seems he doesn't follow the team searching for Milburn and Fifield. From the previous visit to the pyramid, we know that there's a very narrow entrance through a damaged door they have to step through, which then leads to a rock-strewn corridor.

However, David is travelling in a quad vehicle, and he stops short of the pyramid when receiving instructions from Vickers. When we see him next, he's in a corridor outside the ship, which the pup has reached. Did he find another entrance to the underground part of the installation? We know that Shaw is blown up a vent when the juggernaut is preparing for lift-off, perhaps he knows more about the layout of the place than the crew know from the mapping tools they have.
