A24 4,326 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Technically, it's possible, since Scott says Alien and Blade Runner could be taking place in the same universe.

Jay 37,281 Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 IIRC the four films purposely never mention what year they take place in.I don't remember if Prometheus changed that, nor if any of the various Aliens comics gave a date to things.

Thor 7,462 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Technically, it's possible, since Scott says Alien and Blade Runner could be taking place in the same universe.Typical fan-service bullshit statement!Actually, it's no secret that the two worlds co-exist. It's been a known fact for decades. An example is the 'building better worlds' tagline that is displayed at the huge floating billboards in BLADE RUNNER (in fact, I seem to remember that Weyland-Utani -- the origin of that tagline -- is mentioned explicitly too). SOLDIER also exists in the BLADE RUNNER universe (as it refers to the battle at Tannhauser Gate), and hence ALIEN, as do the PREDATOR movies eventually. So it's a complex world!But a meeting between Ripley and Deckard seem impossible at this point. Ripley -- given Weaver's age -- would have to be the ALIEN: RESSURECTION clone that lands on the post-apocalyptic Earth at the end of the film. That is several hundred years after the plot in BLADE RUNNER. So even if Deckard is indeed an android (as the special edition suggests) who ages extremely slowly -- given Ford's advanced age since he played Deckard last -- I doubt he would live for a thousand years! The other androids only lived for a brief period of time, after all.I know you were joking, Stefan, but I had to take it seriously as the fanboy that I am.(what would have been awesome, though, would be a couple of press shots of the two icons dressed up in their old clothing, seen chatting in a location that displays both universes....then the timeline and the fact that they're now in their 60s and 70s wouldn't matter so much).

Can't remember if it's called 'special edition' or 'director's cut' or whatever.I seem to remember the 'building better worlds' tagline in one of the floating ads. PROMETHEUS, obviously, links the two universes by suggesting a connection between the Tyrell and Weyland-Utani corporations.And no, Stefan, I was not aware that OUTLAND takes place in the ALIEN universe.

Well, when Ridley Scott said Alien and BR could coexist in the same universe, he mainly referred to the design. The company slogan "Building Better worlds" is from Prometheus and doesn't appear in BR. The Off-World blimp voice in Blade Runner goes like this: "A new life awaits you in the Off-World colonies. The chance to begin again in a golden land of opportunity and adventure ..."Another slogan is Tyrell's "More Human Than Human ".But what about this?!!!
