'Probably' everything that Prometheus ripped off

Prequel is primarily set on 21 December 2093, so 28 years, 5 months and 13 days before the meat of Alien (4 June 2122).

Marketing campaign

Several short films were created.

TED Conference, 2023
Happy Birthday, David
Quiet Eye: Elizabeth Shaw
Project Prometheus: Mission
Weyland Industries Testimonial
Prometheus Transmission

Novelisation (from a screenplay by Jon Spaihts and Damon Lindel), was adapted by Eisuka Suzuki.

It was only released in Japan.

Okay, to business.

Summary

The crew of titular spacecraft seek the origins of mankind.

Plot is basically Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989).

Here's why.

Scientists abandon logic over belief and most importantly; 'God' exists and wants us dead.

Alien vs. Predator (2004)

Peter Weyland and Charles Weyland have a history of advanced robotics and both founded the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, albeit in different universes.

Don't forget, AVP isn't canon to Alien or Predator.

Engineers used their DNA to spawn humans, while Predators use humans to breed aliens.

Let's take a look at closing scenes.

The Deacon is the result of a trilobite impregnating an Engineer.
Creature got its nickname because of head shaped like a Bishop's mitre.

Predalien erupts from Scar's chest.
It's the same principle.

Aliens: Apocalypse - The Destroying Angels (January-April 1999)

Deep-space rescue specialist Alecto Throop is about to find out that even a fight with the deadly creatures is nothing compared to meeting their masters... or the renegade human who has learned their secrets, ancient secrets that may reveal the ultimate fate of the universe and why it may lie in the clutching claws of the Aliens.

Now shit gets exciting.

In 2089, at the Isle of Skye in Scotland, archaeologists Elizabeth Shaw and Charlie Holloway find a star map left by an ancient civilization on a cave wall.
26 years ago (or in 2116), a paleontological dig deep within Australia's sandy desert funded by the Geholgod discovered a strata of shale predating the oldest previously known formations by a billion years.
For the record, Peter Weyland finances an expedition to follow maps.

Spacesuits


Circumstances are different, but David and Baal lose their heads.


Elizabeth Shaw and Alecto Throop take them away.


Engineer vs Giant

Join me on Planet 4 for unmissable sequel.
