Proof Blade Runner and Alien co-exist in the same universe.

@ninXeno426  Yeah they are my top 2 for sure too! Yeah that is definitely an interesting question for sure.

There are some who don't like the idea but i do.Aliens and Blade Runner are my top favorite movies.

@ninXeno426       Awesome!

@Resurgence -That's been widely known to be a joke since the blu ray was released.

The universes aren't literally connected.

Dr. Curt Connors - 'Wonder if there will be anything in Blade Runner 2049 that connects them?'

We already have one item. A huge head statue appearing in the Blade Runner 49 trailer. :D

Seriously: I hope they will be connected.

The speculation is fun though.

To a point.  There's too many contradictions to overlook.

@Ati      Oh shit, that's right! Yeah that would be awesome!

:)

Juan speaks about these images. But this connection is only the result of financial problems if I know correctly. Perhaps in the future they will be canon. :)

@Ati     Yeah I guess they just used some of the same stuff for Alien and Blade Runner but it's still cool nonetheless. And yeah it should be canon.

S.M. is right about contradictions,but perhaps they can be worked around.

And somewhere Scott mentioned that there was an idea of putting some crew members in Tyrell uniforms on the ship Prometheus, but that's all...

ninXeno, yes-yes :)

I didn't know that about Prometheus.Along with the difference between Replicants and androids there also space travel.Blade Runner spoke of off world colonies in 2019

We'll see if anything is said or touched upon in Blade Runner 2049.

It'd be great to see a Weyland Corporation banner or billboard in there.

@ninXeno426        Yeah good call, easy and subtle. Just to give you a little something, I like it.

"S.M. is right about contradictions,but perhaps they can be worked around."

Perhaps. Two major ones.

1) Roy talks about events that appear to have happened in deep space.  Meaning he's been there and back before 2019, meaning faster than light travel.  FTL travel in the Alien universe isn't discovered until 2032.

2) Weyland's TED Talk talks about that in few short years they'll have cybernetic organisms indistinguishable from humans.  That was in 2023 - at least 4 years after the Nexus 6 was so humanlike you needed VK tests to suss them out.

The space travel is one i pointed out.

ninXeno426 - They are not real problems...

Roy's statement about deep space adventures --- just fake memories planted by the corporation. He wouldn't be the only one as we know...

TED Talk info --- there are several ideas to so solve that, for example, Weyland kept back secret info or they say that that video is not canon anymore... :)

Anything can be changed... ('Money makes the world go round')

Im back, and have read all the comments and think its great, the directions it could go, I didn't know about the other bio's of the crew with the references to terminator and names of producers etc, so that does downplay the connection quite a bit. Im glad to know that. I suppose it just leaves a number of great stories for future movies to explore, and potentially cross paths. I have realized the fun (for me personally) is more about coming up with a working theory that includes or is governed by the rules of the universe the film(s) are happening in. What fun would it be to just know the real story before the movie was released right?  Thanks again to all who added to the thread.
