DAVID 8 – EMERALD CRYSTAL AND

PURSUIT OF PERFECTION IN PROMETHEUS AND ALIEN COVENANT

INTRODUCTION Commented [UA1]: FADE IN.

SCENES OF XENOMORPH AND SPACE JOCKEY

FROM ALIEN. DRONE SOUNDS AND IMAGES OF
ALIEN IS 1970S MOST ICONIC HORROR FILM AND ONE VERY CLOSE TO DARK UNIVERSE.
SUBGENRE OF COSMIC HORROR. THE FIRST DEALT WITH QUESTIONS OF FEAR,
SEXUALITY, PROCREATION, AND HUMAN INSECURITY IN THE VAST COSMOS.
IN 2010S TWO PREQUELS – PROMETHEUS AND ALIEN COVENANT TRY TO
EXPAND THIS DARK UNIVERSE BY INTRODUCING PHILOSOPHICAL IDEAS AND
MYTHS THAT GIVE ANOTHER MUCH DEEPER LAYER TO THIS STORY. IT WILL
TURN OUT THAT THIS IS A STORY ABOUT CREATION ITSELF AND ABOUT Commented [UA2]: SCENE OF MURAL AND
MYSTERIES OF EXISTENCE. IN THE CENTRE OF IT ALL IS OF COURSE A CRYSTAL – WITH GIGER’S INTERPRETATIONS OF
ALIEN LIFE CYCLES. *LATER TO INTRODUCE IN
PROTAGONIST, A DARK TWIN, OR TO BE PRECISE - AN ANTIHERO – HE IS A SECTION ABOUT SACRIFICE.
REFLECTION OF HUMAN STRUGGLES, OVER GOINGS AND DOWNFALLS. IT’S
DAVID – AN ANDROID, A CREATION OF HUMAN INGENUITY, A SPARK OF MUCH Commented [UA3]: SCENES OF DAVID IN WHITE
GREATER FIRE. BY DECODING HIS OMINOUS NATURE AND HIS ASPIRATIONS, ROOM WITH WEYLAND.

WE CAN REVEAL WHAT AUTHORS THINK OF HUMANKIND AND ITS PLACE IN

THE UNIVERSE. HOW WE ARE AFRAID OF EXISTENCE AND OF ANSWERS WE ARE
GETTING FROM THE DARK CORRIDORS OF COSMOS. IT’S A STORY ABOUT OUR
ANXIETIES, OF FEAR AND TREMBLING AT THE FACE OF UNKNOWN. DAVID’S
PURSUIT FOR PERFECTION IS AN ARCHETYPAL JOURNEY, A STROLL THROUGH
SPIRAL FOREST OF SYMBOLS AND HIDDEN MESSAGES. SIMILARITIES WITH
ANCIENT MYTHS, LEGENDS OF LUCIFER, PHILOSOPHER STONE AND OTHER
FABLES OF BYGONE AGES THAT PREDATES ORGANISED RELIGIONS WILL
PROVIDE US WITH MORE COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING OF THIS UNCANNY
SAGA, AND PERHAPS THEN WE WILL FIND OUT WHO REALLY IS AN ALIEN…
