Thinking about a Frankenstein-esque plot, or some other angle?
Re: Prometheus
Maybe, but there are lots of ways to spin the myth in the context of the movie.
- Obvious, men are men, Prometheus (the ship) is Prometheus, the space jockeys are Zeus, the alien is either fire, or Pandora in retribution for something else being taken.
- Men are men, Prometheus (the ship) is Prometheus, the space jockeys are Zeus, the alien is fire taken from the ancient civilizations. In the myth, man had fire before Zeus took it away.
- Men are men, the alien is fire, the space jockeys are Prometheus and will have their livers eaten (or chests burst) for giving man the gift.
- Men are men, the alien is Pandora, the space jockeys are Zeus, David is Prometheus, fire is whatever that globe-thingy is.
- My favorite, men are Pandora, the space jockeys are men, the alien is Zeus.

Re: Prometheus
This is being directed by the same guy that put out the latest Robin Hood, right? My hopes, they are not high.

You got a problem with bow-wielding medieval gladiators?
Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

Re: Prometheus
The guy's obviously talented... Alien, Blade Runner, Black Hawk Down. A lot of people hate Gladiator but I thought it was a great movie. It may have been fantasy but it told a very well crafted story. It seems, though, that after Black Hawk Down he lost that special ability really good directors have at putting story elements together in a compelling way. Kingdom of Heaven could have been great, even with Orlando Bloom, but it felt disjointed and crammed into what seemed like a 3 hour screening time. American Gangster, too, felt like Scott bit off more content than he could sew together. There were lots of good bits and pieces in both movies, but they did not flow together in a coherent fashion. Robin Hood was just a bag of crap. I simply fear that Scott, like so many directors before him that have grown fat and happy on previous successes, is on a downward trend.
