I absolutely love the first one and really like the second one. I don’t want the saga ruined for me. It’s like with Aliens, for me it’s a trilogy.

Aliens as a trilogy? the 3rd was AWFUL!!! if they had done the original 3rd and had the aliens make it to earth i might have agreed, but the 3rd one that got made was horrible…[/quote]
I already wrote, in this same thread, why I think Alien 3 is good.
Alien prequel…hmm…colour me skeptic. Like with every single remake that is being done, starting with Die Hard 4.0, Indiana Jones IV, etc.
I mean, Indiana Jones…you had the plot of the video game (Fate of Atlantis) which is amazing and you have to go with something totally unbelievable as aliens? Come on! Give us Holy Grail and the Ark!

The way Indy 4 turned out was entirely on George Lucas’s head. He’s also the reason that it was delayed for so long.
Spielberg, Ford and Lucas had an agreement not go ahead with production unless they had a script they all liked. Frank Darabont was hired as writer, Ford and Spielberg loved what he did; Lucas didn’t, so Darabont was replaced:
I guess they ploughed ahead in the end when Ford’s age became an issue. In a hysterical turn of events, LaBuff blamed himself for the failure of the movie because he couldn’t monkey swing. Ford also called LaBuff “a fucking idiot” for slating the movie in a later interview…
Prometheus is no ordinary prequel though. This is Ridley Scott we’re talking about here: the guy who directed Alien is doing a prequel to his own movie…
Not to mention Michael “Magneto” Fassbender is following in the footsteps of Ian Holm, Lance Henriksen and ,um, Winona Ryder by playing an android.[/quote]
Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade is one of my top movies, that’s why I was disappointed with the final product of Indy IV. I mean, it’s not a bad movie, but it’s ranked below the other three (Yes, even Temple of Doom). At least it tried to keep the same model as the others, not like Die Hard, which was just…non-sense.
I trust Ridley Scott, I can’t remember any bad movies from him, so we will see.
EDIT :
I like this more.
“Ridley Scott was quick to retort, stating that “this is not an Alien prequel”; it does appear that Scott intends to make Prometheus completely different from the other Alien films. Exactly how is not yet clear, but it is likely that the story takes place within the same universe, but it is not directly connected to the events of the original.”

^ Supposedly it has something to with the “Space Jockey” in Alien. There’s always the possibility that he intends to use the new movie to establish Blade Runner and Alien as taking place in the same universe. AFAIK that rumor hasn’t been quashed.
