So Ridley read the script and told Dan O'Bannon to get rid of "that trash" which included pyramid on that planet where they were supposed to find alien eggs; only to embrace the whole concept in "Prometheus". Not just that but I watched that long doc on "P" blu-ray and they wrote the script in a way that "Ridley opened his office and let people passing by inside to say what they want to see in the movie" and the movie does look like that.
