a) "Alien Prequel" becomes "Prometheus". Deadline report


The announcement came that the Alien Prequel had become a film production called Prometheus.


a) Ridley Scott: “While Alien was indeed the jumping off point for this project, out of the creative process evolved a new, grand mythology and universe in which this original story takes place. The keen fan will recognize strands of Alien’s DNA, so to speak, but the ideas tackled in this film are unique, large and provocative. I couldn't be more pleased to have found the singular tale I'd been searching for, and finally return to this genre that's so close to my heart.(Deadline)

1) Ridley Scott states that " the keen fans will recognize strands of Alien's DNA".  John August in his article "Writing from theme" talks about DNA in scriptwriting in terms, perhaps viscerally, of "core ideas".
