Know where this franchise lays safe? In the hands of the fans now!.. Independent film making. Roger Cormans "Galaxy Of Terror" was more innovated than Prometheus. Imagine what people can do today with just a computer. Seriously, Fuck Ridley! Fuck Lindelof! Fuck Fox! Why did James Cameron never come back to this franchise?... He saw that it was doomed after they killed off Newt and Hicks, which he developed a story for to continue going. Do your research.

Yes that is true, I guess it was just Hollywood wanting to exercise some creative control over the film, either that or Ridley must have admired Lindelof's work. Well at-least we know he wont be coming bk to work on the sequel, I just hope Ridley will still be onboard by then and it wont get handed over to someone else.

You know very well how things work in Hollywood these days. You know someone, you are a relative, you are part of some society whatever... How else do you think he got the offer. And Tom "The Butcher" Rothman was also the head of Fox at the time Prometheus was made, and Rothman lied about it as well. The directing and vision was there... To bad the substance wasnt.

Well I never much favored Lindelof either, I think he did write a poor script and I admit I think it was a fairly bad move by Ridley to have used him, just because he was more well known from Lost. I wish they would have just gave the original writer John Spahits a chance and stuck to his script, only they could have just touched it up more.

And calling that "Prometheus".

Ridley Scott filming visionary directing Damon Lindelof pulling his pants down and shitting on plate, pulls his pants up and walking away and after 15 second of suspense orchestrated music a turd comes up with teeth squeaking, runs off grabs a 100 dollar bill and goes up in Ridley Scotts ass.

You got that right because Prometheus should not at all been about "who we are , where we come from" it could have hinted at it, at the most. This move was supposed to be about the mysteries of the space jockeys and reveal what the hell the xenos really are. I read the original draft saw all the production concept artwork which was 100 times better than what we got. I am such a fan that i even have been to the Chateau St. Germain in Gruyeres, in Switzerland, Gigers museum!

The symbolism in Prometheus is not the real problem here, its the big Ideas that Prometheus is exploring, about creation and evolution thats the controversial ticket, thats whats really bugging the skeptics because it is beyond their own comprehension.

The way some people take this movie seriously as if its saying it is actually real is pathetic. Infact the only people who have not kicked up a fuss are actually all the religious community.
