106800, a couple of possible reasons Posted by BigWorm, Thu Dec-22-11 10:04 PM
1) It ties into Aliens somehow, but just in a small, incidental way.
2) It was SUPPOSED to tie into Alien, at first, but it didn't 'work' so they changed stuff at the 11th hour and then claimed that it was never supposed to be an Alien prequel (SEE Super 8).
3) The twist is that it leads up to the beginning of Alien, and they don't want to give it away.
