8. The Opening Scene Shows David's "Birth"

The Rumour: The movie will open with the "birth" of David, with a younger Peter Weyland (Guy Pearce) switching him on for the first time.

How Likely Is It?: This has been chattered about for quite a while and makes a lot of sense, especially as David essentially seems like the real protagonist of these new Alien movies, and certainly the most interesting character.

Plus, Guy Pearce is 100% in the movie in some capacity, and considering Weyland died in the last movie, it follows that it'll have to be in flashback form. It won't necessarily be the opening scene, but this is more on the money than not. 8/10
