Jocelyn Watts was the main protagonist in Jon Spaihts' unmade Alien prequel script Alien: Engineers. When the script was rewritten, the character (now slightly changed) was renamed Elizabeth Shaw, who became the protagonist of Prometheus.

Biography[]

Much like Shaw in the finished film, Watts was involved in a romantic relationship with her colleague Holloway (Martin Holloway in Spaihts' script), and the pair convinced Weyland Industries to fund an expedition to a distant system in the hopes of finding Engineers. She is later deliberately impregnated with a Chestburster by David, forcing her to attempt to remove the embryo with a MedPod; she actually perishes during the procedure, but the pod is able to resuscitate her and save her life.

Trivia[]

  • The MedPod sequence is not the only scene shared by Watts and Shaw — others include a scene where Watts is almost blown away by a severe storm, only to be saved by David, a sequence where Watts and Holloway perform an autopsy on a severed Engineer head, and Watts and several other survivors encountering a final surviving Engineer inside the Engineer complex, which quickly turns hostile and attacks them.
