Prometheus Script Reveals TRUTH about Engineers, Black Goo and Deacon

  • I recently enjoyed reading the script for the movie Prometheus and I found many interesting details that I wanted to share with you.
    Script [UPDATED LINK]: docplayer.net/54299743-Prometh...
    The script is more or less the same as the movie, however, many scenes and dialogues are extended and reveal TRUTH about Engineers, their origins and home world, why they created humans and also about the nature and the true purpose of the black goo. The script is over 150 pages so I’m only going over things that are not included in the movie and there Aare lots of them which is why the video is pretty long but it’s totally worth it since we finally get answers for basically everything. All engineer dialogs and writings in the script are translated so we are getting a clear understanding things without over theorizing.
    The script is written by Damon Lindelof and the awakened engineer is referred in conversations as the Last Engineer.
    THE ELDER Take this. This is the blood of our lord. For we cannot create as the gift was stripped from us long ago. As always we will continue our attempts to create a perfect Eden much like our own. You, the chosen one will create it in your own image.
    Let your body become the dirt. Your blood become the waters. And may your soul become their way back to us
    There are lots of interesting details that are brought up in this dialog. First we learn that the substance in the sealed cup is the blood of their lord which really intrigued me when I first read it. I wouldn’t say the substance is completely gold in the movie, however it certainly has some golden shades. But most importantly we get a confirmation that it’s not the black go. Another thing is that the elder was thousands of years old. All of these new elements are addressed later in the script so we will get back to them.
    DAVID reads in engineer language Only the chosen can pass through. This is sacred ground and must be kept sacred. If you dare to cross into sacred ground you must be punished. This is the birth place of our lord and no being is worthy
    Holloway arrives around the BACK of the monument and shines his light up at another MURAL which has been embedded on the wall. A strange BEING unlike any ENGINEER is drawn on the MURAL. It has it's arms out in a cross. Around the MURAL it shows an IMAGE of an engineer being ATTACKED and impregnated by some NASTY looking OCTOPUS type CREATURE. The being with it's arms stretched out is a bipedal POINTY-HEADED creature - the first “DEACON”.
    DAVID (Engineer language) Our lord came from the chosen one in the time when our ancestors birthed life. His sacred blood was our salvation. His sacred blood through our lips birthed life on other worlds.
    DAVID I am not entirely certain, but I believe the humanoid seen being attacked orally gave birth to this being and your Engineers worshiped it. I believe what is ever inside these capsules might be some kind of experiment. If my translation is correct then they were trying to recreate the blood of this being whom they worshiped.
    Recall that the elder engineer said in the beginning:
    "we cannot create as the gift was stripped from us long ago. As always we will continue our attempts to create a perfect Eden much like our own."
    Despite the fact that engineers could live for thousands of years, they were slowly dying off and their only way to prevent extinction was to seed with life other planets using the blood of the first deacon.
    They were traveling through space seeding planets with life in an attempt to recreate their homewolrd, but the blood of the first deacon was running out.
    It appears that these beings can live up to three hundred thousand years old. They use to be able to mate with each other just like humans. But somewhere in their late history they evolved and lost the ability to both mate and reproduce. But before they did they found a creature that impregnated one of them with a foreign body. A creature came from him. They called it the Deacon. They worshiped this deacon and after it's death they used its blood to plant the seeds of life on other worlds. The blood ran out of course but they tried to recreate the gene pool of this Deacon's blood but they instead created something else. That is what I brought back with me, sir.
    Much later in the script when Weyland, David, shaw and some other crew members approach the sleeping engineer, David explains that dispite the fact the black goo was the failed attempt of clonning the blood of the first deacon, engineers realized it’s potential for weapons.

      If these Engineers are so evolved, why are they so violently? You would think that they would have some curiosity about their creation having the ability to reach them millions of light years away. Instead, he rips one guys head off and crushes another, then kills a couple more. I would say he’s having a bad hair day, but he hasn’t got any so maybe he just got up on the wrong side of the bed.

The poetry is in Wayland and Shaw getting to the outer reaches to get their answers and getting nothing but more mystery.

      I hope not, this script confirms how bad the idea behind all this was. Jesus, seriously ? How original. The idea of sending only one guy to "educate" others is so stupid and pathetic. These Engineers seem to be very stupid, why not educate the first humans and if they did, why expect better results with just one "educated" guy.
      I already see so many implausibilities without even giving second thoughts, I don't see how this story would not en up ridiculed even more by the fans.

      So if I got this right it still doesn’t make the original alien or even AVP retconned as the sacrificed engineer was still impregnated by a face hugger and the subsequent deacon/alien contained. What David did was breed/experiment with black goo until he got back to a face hugger egg which gives rise to baseline alien drones

These companies don’t just spend millions of dollars to make a film. There is a hidden agenda. You don’t need money when you make it, so I’ll let that sink in and see if you can grasp where that line is going. Money doesn’t make the world go round: Blood does.

I think this is what the last engineer meant when he said that humans were the only successful ones. They were the only ones to come find them. I have a feeling that the race from AC was too primitive to find their engineer creators.

      Ummm they hated us before we tried to find them.
      They wanted to wipe us out why we were still technologically primitive.
      So based off of this script, the engineers in AC must be a different sort of race just like how the last engineer looked different from the ones in the opening scene.
      AC was a rewrite to appease fans for Prometheus's short comings.
      Remove the religious BS and this script sounds better.

      It is Sumerian. I was working on a script about the Annunaki and accidentally ran into the head FX artist of "Prometheus" outside of a bar, because I jokingly wanted a fire for my cigarette and asked him "Do You Have Prometheus?" So you can imagine his surprise. He told me about the movie (more so than his disclosure agreement probably allowed him) and he explained that in the movie they were using the Sumerians as the original people who were contacted by ETs.

    Actually makes me angry and sad at the same time just thinking about how phenomenal this film could have been. It was neither horror or action. It was a classic scifi exploration type lovecraft type story.
    I hate that in the 21st century studios wont allow films that have budgets over 100 million to become rich with stories.

    Taking a script like this and making it so abstract that instead of conversations about subtle things left out on purpose, and where could the next film could go, you just get people arguing about the reasons things came about, trying to assume what the hell happened and trying to find the logic in major plot holes is not the mark of good production or direction. As much as i love the alien universe, Ridley really messed it up, and nobody can blame the script writer. Thanks for the upload! Good work.

      MACK Too much inferance that one of the religions on Earth was from outerspace. there are "conspiracy" folks that think aliens helped earth..yes this is a movie.
      most likely, focus groups or maybe staff that are religious may have viewed this as an insult. or a crack at 'that' religion.
      strictly from a sci fi point, it seems facinating as a plot. but as i said, some would view it as an attack/ridicule of their beliefs.

      Because it's too focused on Christianity, and religion in general. The way they made it is more mysterious, and makes people dig deeper into the meaning of all the happenings. Dig deeper in the lore. It makes it better overall in my opinion.

    I think Promethues was the BEST movie in the entire series and totally pumped new life into the Alien Franchise ....I was looking forward to see the engineers home world and finding out why and how they made us.... THEN the alien fan boys complained so much that theres wasn't enough Aliens in Prometheus Ridley Scott changed the whole script to create another OLD Alien shoot em up... which was bitterly disappointing to everyone i knew that saw it.... to me the engineers are fascinating and I hope for the sake of the movies Ridley ignores the idiots and continues his prometheus series how he intended !

I'm just fascinated with the engineers love them , they're by far my favourite part of all the alien films , I only hope to see more in sequel or prequel but who knows , Ridley Scott changes direction so often , had he gone ahead with his original sequel plan to Prometheus showing us more engineers I believe it would have been a hit! I did enjoy the sequel still regardless , just wasn't what I wanted or expected given the first film. Thanks again keep up the great work! Cheers!!
