Lindelof's rewrites of Spaihts' script developed a separate story that precedes the events of Alien, and according to Scott, despite the film sharing "strands of Alien's DNA, so to speak", Prometheus will explore its own mythology and universe.

The story follows the crew of the spaceship Prometheus as they explore an advanced alien civilization in the late 21st century, and although the film was originally conceived as a prequel to Scott's 1979 science fiction horror film Alien, rewrites determined that it would not be directly connected. Prometheus is a science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott and written by Jon Spaihts and Damon Lindelof. In the late 21st century, the crew of the spaceship Prometheus explore the advanced civilization of an extraterrestrial race, as part of a mission to uncover the origins of humanity. 7 Promotional/Behind the Scenes Pictures.
