ORIGINAL: pete_traynor Afraid not Gaz! It would appear that when they state it was 'about 2000 years ago' that they decided to eradicate us, that is what they were getting at. Pretty sure it was eluded to in the mammoth making of on the BD. But it is definitely a theory that many are starting to accept as the probable reasoning for the engineers decision. But like so much in the film, it's hardly set in stone so we can just dismiss it here if we see fit. In other news… could this sequel act as the link to Bladerunner that I'm suddenly hearing so much about! Like space Jesus… I am not kidding. I only cottoned on to all this yesterday (probably been about for months though!) but some keen eyed consumers spotted this on the UK BD Steelbook of Prometheus. It's written by Weylend about a familiar sounding someone! http://www.slashfilm.com/is-prometheus-set-in-the-blade-runner-universe/ There was also apparently discussions where Scott was to have the company in Prometheus be Weyland-Tyrell! Think they even went as far as proposing that one of Weylands guards on the Prometheus was none other than Roy Batty. Did see a piece of concept art that had him in Weyland military fatigues yesterday but can't track it down now. Obviously, not THE Batty as the time lines don't mesh. But perhaps a far more advanced Nexus was intended to protect Weylend… didn't do a very good job though if he is in there somewhere quote:

Why would it take them over 2000 years to get around to wiping out the humans? Been watching the Furious Gods doc on the Prometheus 3D Blu - the 'Jesus-as-Engineer' idea was originally scripted, but binned. I seem to remember (either from that or a different interview), that it was felt to be to on the nose. But absolutely, the idea was mooted. Glad they left it alone though...
