Ok, I've been following this loosely and not really held much interest as I didnt think there'd be enough of a decent story to tell. I'd always liked the ambiguity of the Space Jockeys. Were they evil? Were they just incidental inventors of the Xenomorph and maybe even the human race too? Its a bit like Marvel finally telling everyone Wolverines origin, the mystery is gone and a part of the character dies with it.
However, having read the synopsis I'm becoming a believer. The plot, if legit, is every bit as big and grand as suggested by Ridley and seems to almost act as a prequel to Alien without even having a Xenomorph in it. This could very well end up a landmark and epic movie. I just wish the cast looked rough and rugged like the original crew of the Nostromo. That crew was basically my first glimpse of the whole space trucker look and I loved it. It felt so real. now you've got Charlieze Theron with a skin tight frickin space suit!
