Any fans of Alien and Prometheus here?

I liked Prometheus, so I'm hyped

Sweet!

no way theyll keep that title

Paradise Lost sounds promising, because it makes me think of the entire Civilization of Engineers being shit on by Xenomorphs.

With Elizabeth going to the homeplanet at the end of the first film, I think Ive already figured it out. Yey me.

I love Alien, Aliens, and Prometheus so very excited about this film.

I'll approach with caution. Prometheus was ambitious, yes, but suffered from a poor script, thin characters, and pacing problems. And we haven't had a good Alien movie in almost 30 years.

Prometheus was really good.... I kinda agree with the later Aliens though

At least they are going with the classic "Alien" title instead of prometheus 2. I don't understand why they named the last movie "Prometheus" in the first place.

Yeah, lot of people dismissed it. I loved it on the other hand.

Some people complained that it didn;t make sense because there were unanswered questions but those unanswered questions sent my mind flying which I loved.

There was this extended scene for the opening that showed more from the beginning of the film:

Apparently it was planned all along:

Ridley Scott:

“In a way it is Prometheus 2. It’s exactly the same story. But it was always in the works to be called that [Alien: Paradise Lost]. Is Prometheus actually taking us off course from where I’m going, which is actually backing into the first Alien… I’ve even got connections with Ripley [in this], but I’m not telling you what.”

I am not liking the last part bolded.

One thing I didn't like was how the film tied to Alien. I had this particular image of Aliens being these creatures that evolved somehow in an alien planet against ravenous circumstances that made them as deadly as they are. The ending turned them into a by-product, some sort of accident by human intervention, which makes this big Universe feel unbelieveably little and full of coincidences where everything is related to everything.

Seeing that Ripley will have connections with Prometheus 2 warns me of Scott taking the above to a whole new level that I may not like. Hopefully I am wrong.
