2 Ships ... 2 Crash locations?

I see no evidence whatsoever of two Derelicts in Prometheus!

You made a correct statement - we see no evidence. It doesn't mean there's no second one.

A lot of people REALLY wants this movie to lead directely to the first Alien movie. Ridley Scott has said on numerous occasions that he wants us (The audience) the wiew this film as a standalone feature. It will have strands of "alien DNA" sure. Its not impossible that there is a second ship, but i doubt it. If the space jockeys are this old race, creators of man and so on, its also not impossible that they are spread out all over the universe either. LV426 could be lightyears away from the planet we see in prometheus.

Being that the movie takes place in the same system Zeta II Reticuli. The planet IS LV-426 and THAT IS the derelict from Alien. Nough said... move on.

But without evidence, how do you expect us to be swayed by your theory?!?

Hehe, it was just a thought. No matter what happens I will be VERY happy with this movie. I feel like a 10 year old waiting to go to Disneyland.

Seeing that there are at least 4 to 5 temples then that could mean that there are 4 to 5 ships. A ship for each temple so maybe Prometheus crashes into one but then another one takes off from a different temple. Which could mean that there could be a SJ keeping the nightlight on for each temple. Still curious to see if Shaw and the others investigate the other temples. Can't wait!!

I think it will be the same ship. Otherwise it would mean that the SJ always had created the ALIEN / xenomorphs long before the Prometheus crew arrived. WHY? Because the mural seen in the trailer and now being used as banner for the Prometheus trailers section here clearly shows the ALIEN / xenomorph. As they have created a mural about that species, that would mean they existed before the prometheus crew touched / experimented with the content of the ampules. In that case, it is possible that there are more than one SJ space ship and the one crashlanded on LV 426 in ALIEN could be another vessel loaded with thousands of ALIEN eggs.

I am confused at this mention of 4 or 5 temples, at what point of what trailer (time wise) is this shown, I have all the trailers and have only ever seen one Harkonnen Castle temple!?!

Can we please stop referring to this ship as a "derelict"? It's apparently occupied, so by definition the word does not apply: World English Dictionary derelict (ˈdɛrɪlɪkt) — adj 1. deserted or abandoned, as by an owner, occupant, etc 2. falling into ruins; neglected; dilapidated 3. neglectful of duty or obligation; remiss — n 4. a person abandoned or neglected by society; a social outcast or vagrant 5. property deserted or abandoned by an owner, occupant, etc 6. a vessel abandoned at sea 7. a person who is neglectful of duty or obligation [C17: from Latin dērelictus forsaken, from dērelinquere to abandon, from de- + relinquere to leave]

Its been called the derelict for 33 years, its no longer a description, its the ships name now

This is the Prometheus website, not the grammar scholar's website.

@Pvt. Hudson I can totally see where you are coming from, but let me give you some advice from past experience. It is futile to argue with snorkie, he is only willing to see his viewpoint and his viewpoint only (legend in his own mind syndrome), so wash your hands of it, and enjoy theory debates about this film with other open-minded individals.

Second warning TKfanboy... there is no need for personal attacks, in the other thread I tried to clarify and understand your position and you just stressed out and resorted to attacks. I too can see where hudson is coming from, but I see no evidence thats all

HAHAHA, 2nd warning? -can't we all just get along and enjoy the creative minds and ideas of others? I love you snorks, I am definately entertained on this public fan site. no need for censorship of free thinkers my friend. what's your opinion on the S/J population? four? dozens spread out across the universe?

i been watching the 2 teaser trailers where ripley is commenting on the film from back in december and i think and hope that we don't know the half of it. he's a smart director and filmmaker, i think there's gonna be a lot of suprises. but i do remember seeing a shot when prometheus is landing and you can see about 4 mounds or temple, so Pvt. Hudson might be right if those other mounds contain another ship. i just don't remember where i saw that scene.

@Pvt Hudson, I posted on a different thread my idea of more than one S/J ship. and the idea of redundancy where the ship in prometheus gets collided by the prometheus and is unable to make it's journey to Earth, so another one from elsewhere has to pick up the job and complete and could possibly have david on board and ends up off course becoming the derelict on lv-426. we'll know for sure in 72 days!!

Plus I read somewhere that the alien ship in prometheus has no "eggs" and the derelict had thousands. Soooo.....??

That looks legite! I have 4 vehicles, my neighbor has 5 vehicles, why should't the S/J's have four or five. They are after all, a superior race. lol.

@TKFAN - YES and I certainly don't need nor WANT to figure out too much before then but my wife put the idea in my head of one taking off from the plent in this movie and crashing on LV-426 and I was like "DAMN you! LOL Why you gotta come up with something else for me to think about!" :) We're both really excited to see the movie. I mean geez when was the last time you wanted to see a sci-fi alien movie so badly? 1986 for me ....

@ RoyalJelly - Thanks, I will check that footage, which trailer is that @ TK Fanboy - your second warning is for 3 things - slander, personal attacks and insults. This forums are free speech, but thats not why you got two warnings. Calm down and discuss/debate, not insult when you disagree. Yes you posted you idea on a thread I started, when I asked you to clarify your theory (which you originally didn't), I tried to understand the position you was coming from. Once you stated you theory clearly and understandable I pointed out the problems with your theory (such as no evidence), which is what everybody does on every theory thread... One posts a theory, the rest try to prove/disprove the theory. Thats forums for you!

@Pvt Hudson, I think origin films are the absolute best. I hope Ridley Scott is reading these posts and laughing all the way to the bank, because this film is going to make tons of money. There are so many great ideas and theory's floating around this site, it too drives me crazy. I don't want to know.....but I HAVE to know!!! lol. Keep the great ideas coming brother...

@Snorkelbottom, that image was from IMAX trailer 0:15

@ Royaljelly - thanks again.... collating

@snorkle.. You just made part of my point from yesterday for me bro. A theory is just that...a theory or idea. When you back it with facts...it becomes FACT! If you have issues with me bro, and you truly are "staff" then take it to P.M. homie. Furthermore, all I did, was add my idea to your thread and you immediatly shot it down and had nothing positive to put out when others..including myself, did not agree with your idea bro. This isn't a dictatorship bro. it's a forum for people of like minds to discuss their ideas and thoughts on this film. and I didn't attack you, we were simply debating so don't take it to heart and start flexing muscles. I won't post to your threads anymore and you can stay in your corner, I'll stay in mine. and if you want to hit me up, do it in P.M. and I'll do the same.

@TK - Will do. :) The wife gets the credit for that one and I still can't believe she came up with it because she was just blurting stuff out that was possible. One thing is for sure - there are some people who are/would make great writers posting on this site. I haven't had this much fun in a forum ever.

@Royal-Jelly - I have the poor quality version of that trailer, you wouldn't happen to have a link to a HD download of the IMAX trailer? @TKFanboy... Which is also my point from yesterday, I posted my theory with evidence. You posted yours with none. When I stated as such your resorted to insults (check the thread in question if you need to [url=http://www.prometheus-movie.com/community/forums/topic/2460]HERE[/url]). I have no issues with you at all, I am staff (hence it saying so under my profile pic on every post I make, including this one) and therefore am one of the many moderators, and theory writers on this site. My tasks as a mod is to ensure there are no personal attacks, insults, inappropriate posts etc. whether aimed at me or anyone else. I use PM for private matters usually with other members of the staff, this is a forum matter. Now can we please get this thread back on topic

@Pvt Hudson, you are right about that, and I haven't either....

The idea that there could even be 4 - 5 ships (I think 4 because I only see 4 temples) just makes me shiver. Theres SO much story here I can't take it.
