The film was originally intended to be a true prequel to Alien (1979), and the first draft of Jon Spaihts's original script (titled 'Alien: Engineers') included far more elements from the Alien franchise. For instance, it would have taken place on LV-426, the original planetoid from 'Alien', which contains a mysterious pyramid. It has cannisters which contain earlier forms of Facehuggers (proto-Facehuggers), and one of them 'impregnates' Holloway (Logan Marshall-Green). Unaware of what happened, he returns to Prometheus, and an tentacled chestburster breaks from him while he is making love with Shaw (Noomi Rapace), slowly pulling itself out of his chest. David (Michael Fassbender) is a much more malicious character in this draft, hating his human makers to the point where he even plans to help the Engineers kill them all. Shaw tries to stop him, but David ties her down, and releases a Facehugger upon her, impregnating her with an Alien as well. This creature is surgically removed before it can burst through her chest, but it is ejected from the medical device, and while Shaw recovers over several hours, the creature grows and starts killing people. Shaw was to finally battle with the Ultramorph, the Xenomorph that emerged from the dead Engineer, and the movie was to end on a more ambiguous note, with Shaw and the remains of David being stranded on the planet. The mutagenic black compound which turns Fifield (Sean Harris) into a raging monster, as well as David's demise were all part of Spaihts' original treatment. According to Spaihts, Fox studio executives requested that the recognizable elements were toned down in order to make the film more stand alone and have its own mythology, so major re-writes were done by Damon Lindelof.
