Do you think this concept and the new story in this format will be interesting to the audience? https://www.stage32.com/profile/1179711/Screenplay/Alien-dark-planet-part-1

Vladimir Romantsev , I think this is interesting and if this story would be turned in a well done movie (or trilogy), I would like to watch it. I don't know what to say about how much this deviates from the original story and theme, but "Prometheus" also was different and I liked it. In the same time I am thinking that "Prometheus" maybe could have been a standalone movie, different from "Alien", but perhaps it works like it is...
Vladimir Romantsev , did you watch this "Alien Earth" series? What do you think ?

Florin Şumălan, I liked the series!
Here’s what has become clear so far…
The main idea of the series Alien: Earth is the three aspects of a human being, represented in symbolic form.
The emotional part of a human, represented by a brother and sister, is in the middle.
The animal, hidden part (the shadow, according to Jung) is represented by the Xenomorphs and is at the bottom.
The intellectual part of a human—AI, robots, IT corporations, and their owners—is at the top.
The brother is captured by the animal part, while the sister is captured by the intellectual part. The intellectual part of the human (the sister) saves the human (the brother) from the shadow animal part, from the Xenomorphs, from the Prodigy Corporation, and from its leader.
In the film Prometheus, the human aspect is represented by Elizabeth Shaw and her companion. David represents the mind: at first, David the Mind worked for the Heart, for Shaw, but then the mind (David) became broken, and Elizabeth (the Heart) repaired David (the Mind). Later, David betrayed Elizabeth—the Mind betrayed the Heart. The Heart never betrays the Mind, but the Mind often betrays the Heart.
The same happens in the series Alien: Earth. At first, the Mind, in the form of Prodigy and its founder, helps the Sister (the Heart), but later they might betray her. That is, in the series, the Mind betrays the Heart again—the story repeats itself.
Vladimir Romantsev , I didn't think about that. You can understand and interpret things in different ways. I don't know what to say...interesting...
