PROMETHEUS

This guy started it all

It's been a while since any Aliens movie has been created. The saga didn't fare that well with half hearted sequels that ranged from good to plain awful.

But Mr Scott in a bold move, is going revitalize the franchise with a sort of prequel that is not really a prequel but a story that happens in the same Aliens universe.

It all revolves around one of the most intriguing figures in science fiction films, the space jockey. This massive lifeform stands in the middle of what seems to be a control chamber in the spaceship found in the first movie, in what is the most memorable scene i can recall of the whole saga.

The space jockey was kind of a mystery, nobody knew much about him and there are a bunch of theories on the web about his relevance on Aliens universe.

Prometheus, the greek myth, is the metaphor that will expand the mythos of the saga, driving the story on a more ''Lovecraftian'' way and will eventually, resolve all the questions that linger over the Mala'kak.

The film is already being filmed, and will be done with a low dose of cgi.
