#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 That means Ridley would have planned this cinematic crossover universe long ago. And the Prometheus phase will be the connective tissue, the spine that links them! I bet Scott will make further connections. Connecting the world of Alien with his contemporary links of GI: Jane and Thelma & Louise with the historical strands of The Shootist, finally to the Crusades, ancient Rome in gladiatorial times, to the days of Moses! Its all connected, man! Brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so! Alex What do you mean? That connection was established DECADES ago, long before PROMETHEUS, pr. the "Building Better Worlds" slogan, wasn't it? BLADE RUNNER is also connected to the massively underrated SOLDIER. And ALIEN to PREDATOR, obviously (if you count those movies). I love it how these universes are combined, although it sometimes wreaks havoc on the timelines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean that, when Ridley Scott made Blade Runner, he didn't see it as being in the same universe of his previous film (Alien). The only thing that connects these two movies is Ridley Scott. And Ridley Scott has nothing to do with Soldier. If someone decides on his own to make a reference to a certain movie doesn't mean they are officially connected. The only film that will take place in the same Blade Runner universe is its upcoming sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm aware that Scott had nothing to do with SOLDIER, so it's probably not 'canon' that way, but I like the reference nonetheless. Extends the universe into all kinds of different areas. Check out some of the quotes by Scott in the aforementioned article, and how he thought about the connection between the two films even in the early 80s.

crumbs 14,319 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Quote "No one asked the bloody question, why would you make such a beautiful, monstrous creature? That craft was always like a battle wagon to me, carrying bacteria, biomechanoid monsters that could be put down anywhere that they wanted to be cleaned out. It's a weapon of mass destruction... And that's why Prometheus was cooked up... pretty well, I thought. We did well enough, we did very well, so we get to do the next one and see who made it and why. And the why will be explained." - Ridley Scott Don't get this vibe from the trailers at all; they're selling the film as a straightforward, horror-schlock, soft reboot of Alien. Methinks the film is a lot more Prometheus 2 than they're letting on, with a healthy increase of the body horror and gore (basically, what Prometheus was marketed to be, and everyone was disappointed it wasn't). Win-win for me as I like both Prometheus and the Alien series overall. A meeting in the middle would yield a pretty great film, IMHO. Doesn't need to have as much preachy science-fiction as Prometheus but it certainly needs more horror. You can tell they sterilized that whole film in the hope of getting a PG-13 rating (including shooting a PG-13 version of the cesarean scene -- guess their plans backfired after the MPAA informed them they'd never be given a PG-13 unless that scene was removed entirely).
