I actually liked it. I actually liked it a lot. Predator films. When asked in May if he had watched them, Scott laughed, "No. I couldn't do that. I couldn't quite take that step. It's clear that Ridley Scott never in a favor of Alien vs. Predator Franchise and that's the reason that his film Prometheus only connected to Alien Franchise, it doesn't have any connection to Alien vs. As stated in Prometheus Wikipedia link. Development of the film began in the early s as a fifth installment in the Alien franchise.
Scott and director James Cameron developed ideas for a film that would serve as a prequel to Scott's science fiction horror film Alien. By , the development of Alien vs. Predator took precedence, and the project remained dormant until when Scott again showed interest. Spaihts wrote a script for a prequel to the events of the Alien films, but Scott opted for a different direction to avoid repeating cues from those films.
In late , Lindelof joined the project to rewrite Spaihts's script, and he and Scott developed a story that precedes the story of Alien but is not directly connected to that franchise.
According to Scott, although the film shares "strands of Alien's DNA, so to speak", and takes place in the same universe, Prometheus explores its own mythology and ideas. So it's clear that Prometheus is a sequel to first alien film and their may be one more Prometheus film which will fill the gap between First Alien film and Prometheus and AVP's is just like a spinoff. I am not a movie writer but I must say when watching the Prometheus movie I thought I seen a connection to Predator and Alien as well.
If you remember back to the part were the one crew member was infected and then started to feel sick and started to change and then they torched him out side the ship. Well if you recall after that when they went to check because they thought he was still alive but by then he had changed completely and looked more humanoid like how the Predator looks.
If you recall his facial features and the beyond normal human strength just wanted to throw that thought out there. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.

Viewed k times. The film has since become a classic and launched an entire franchise of movies including three sequels that hit theaters throughout the '80s and '90s. In , Scott returned to the franchise for the start of a prequel series in Prometheus , and continuing in its upcoming followup, Alien: Covenant. Starring Katherine Waterston Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them , Alien: Covenant follows the crew of a colony ship that discovers a distant planet seeming to be a paradise - however, it isn't quite what they expected.
Twentieth Century Fox screened footage from Alien: Covenant for press earlier this month, in addition to the first trailer for the film, teasing the upcoming entry in Scott's Alien prequel series.
Following the footage screening, we had a chance to sit down with Waterston and discuss Alien: Covenant. Specifically, we asked about how it fits into the overall franchise as a sequel to Prometheus , but another prequel to Alien. Waterston said:. Much of that happens at the end of the film, and is definitely worth talking about moving forward. Let's talk about how the end of Prometheus connects to Alien :. Springing from the twisted mind of Swiss surrealist H.
Giger , the xenomorphs -- the heinous, armor-plated killing machines that populate the various Alien films -- rank among the most horrifying movie monsters of all time. But the first extraterrestrial presence we meet, however, are the facehuggers. You know, the nasty little buggers that latch on to your face and impregnate you with a xenomorph that, after a proper incubation period, will ultimately burst out of your chest and kill you. In Prometheus , we witness what appears to be the birth of the first such facehugger, also known as a Trilobite.
It's a roundabout process, to be sure, but the creature's origins lie here. When the crew of the Weyland Corporation not Weyland-Yutani yet, but we'll get to that ship Prometheus lands on the moon LV, one of the many things they find is a room full of "vases," which closely resemble the rooms full of eggs from the earlier movies, the very same eggs that hatch the facehuggers. But we still have a few evolutionary steps to go.
The nefarious robot David Michael Fassbender takes the viscous black substance he finds in these vases and slips a dose to Dr. Charlie Holloway Logan Marshall-Green. It's unclear whose orders David follows, but he is the one who may be responsible for jumpstarting the xenomorph evolution. This scenario, as you probably remember, does not go particularly well for ol' Charlie, as it messes with his body something awful.
Before he winds up burned to a crisp, he has sex with Dr. Elizabeth Shaw Noomi Rapace , which is impressive because she was previously unable to conceive. Whatever the result, the fetus is not human, it's some sort of squiggly, human-alien hybrid monster, and when she cuts the rapidly gestating spawn out of her belly in the latter portion of the film, the creature may be the first facehugger. Initially, it looks like some sort of angry, demented space squid, but when it latches onto the Engineeractually specifically when it dies and falls off of the Engineerit is very obviously akin to the little buggers.
Physically it is much larger than previous facehuggers we have seen, and unlike the ones we've seen before, it kills the host, but the end result, as we see shortly after the credits role, is the same. How these changes happen is somewhat unclear, especially as they take place over a relatively short span, evolutionarily speaking Prometheus is set around , while Alien takes place in the year The implication is that, unless these creatures have an extra-fast evolutionary process, they had a helping hand.
Perhaps it was the Engineers tinkering with something they didn't quite understand. But another likelihood is that Weyland-Yutani did their own genetic messing around. They've attempted to weaponize the xenomorphs, and they're certainly less that scrupulous in matters such as these. With this link, Prometheus and Alien share similar psychological tropes that tap into primal fears about parenthood that have been used many times in horror. There's something unknown, uncontrollable growing inside of you.
You worry about what happens if it's evil, and the possibility that what you create, what you birth, will ultimately kill you. This is especially heightened in Elizabeth's case, as with her earlier inability to conceive, whatever this is isn't natural.
