King also remade Lars Von Trier's excellent Riget - The Kingdom - as Kingdom Hospital and claimed he got the idea while he was in hospital himself after being hit by a car. Von Trier got no credit until the DVD release.
As to Promethazine - sorry, Prometheus - it seems that Ridley Scott has some very silly ideas about characters that weren't even his to start with...
(Useless trivia: Ridley Scott was the first choice to direct Doctor Who's second ever story, The Daleks (aka The Dead Planet) but was filming a commercial and thus unavailable. If the above is any guide, it was probably a lucky escape.)

Quote:The film clearly shows that Engineers created life on Earth and then guided humans throughout our development, one day hoping that we would come visit them. But we did something very bad. So bad, that it upset the Engineers. And according to the movie, whatever we did, happened two thousand years ago. The only thing that could be is that we killed Jesus, who apparently was an Engineer as well. Here is a quote from Scott: "If you look at it as an 'our children are misbehaving down there' scenario, there are moments where it looks like we've gone out of control, running around with armor and skirts, which of course would be the Roman Empire. And they were given a long run. A thousand years before their disintegration actually started to happen. And you can say, 'Let's send down one more of our emissaries to see if he can stop it.' Guess what? They crucified him."
