Guest Hoover42 Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 Considering that Alien is on my list of top 100 movies, you can just imagine my expectations for Ridley Scott's new movie, PROMETHEUS. Check out the (far too short) early trailer: http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/fox/prometheus/ Quote
BiBottomBoy Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 Interesting that the ship from Alien is in there and he's using the same typeface as Alien. Quote
Guest Hoover42 Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 Interesting that the ship from Alien is in there and he's using the same typeface as Alien. Interesting. PROMETHEUS is a prequel to Alien, and set in the same universe, I suppose Scott is using the ship and the typeface for continuity. Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 I saw this trailer yesterday when I saw "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo". I didn't know anything about it. I can't wait for this movie. I can wait and will never see "The Devil Inside" which they alway showed yesterday. YUCK. Quote
Guest Hoover42 Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 Agreed, Expat! "The Devil Inside" looks vile. Quote
BiBottomBoy Posted December 24, 2011 Posted December 24, 2011 It's set in the Alien universe, but Scott has been very coy about whether any of the Aliens will be in it. Quote
Members seattlebottom Posted December 25, 2011 Members Posted December 25, 2011 It's supposed to be about how the crashed ship encountered in the first Alien movie came to be on the planet. Quote
BiBottomBoy Posted December 25, 2011 Posted December 25, 2011 But he crashed ship wasn't piloted by a human - and there are humans on that planet. Quote
Guest rohale Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 I remember ten years ago just after the huge success that came with the film "Gladiator", Ridley Scott very much wanted to do a science fiction film and expressed in wanting to do another "Alien" and get the franchise up and running after the ill-fated disasters of David Fincher's Alien 3 and whatever came after that. Suddenly the studio didn't want to utilise him and felt that he was a bit old. Even James Cameron wanted to work with Ridley, unfortunately the studio went with the Alien vs Predator which didn't last too long. Now ten years later, the studio came to it's senses and so far have expressed enthusiasm for Ridley. In a way his career has to a certain degree come full circle considering that it his film "Alien" that caught the attention of Hollywood after having just done one film and lots of commercials for Granada and ITV in England. So it's nice to read that Ridley Scott is back in the director's chair for this outing with "Prometheus" and I hope the film performs well at the box office. Over the next year or so, I cant to see what ideas Ridley comes up with in terms of story board ideas for a possible Blade Runner reboot. Quote
BiBottomBoy Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 Is he really doing a Blade Runner reboot or is that just a myth? Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 Is he really doing a Blade Runner reboot or is that just a myth? I've heard this for years, but I also keep hearing that funding is the problem. Quote
Guest Hoover42 Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 I've heard this for years, but I also keep hearing that funding is the problem. There have been a number of recent interviews of Scott where he mentions that he has committed to directing a "Blade Runner" follow-up (sequel or prequel) and has been interviewing writers to work with him on the screenplay.

That would be so fantastic. I loved the original. I haven't watched it in a while. Quote
BiBottomBoy Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 That's the best news I've heard in a while. Quote
Members JKane Posted March 19, 2012 Members Posted March 19, 2012 New trailers are coming out hot and heavy, this is gonna be epic! Kinda wish this one showed a little LESS, didn't reveal so much of the plot. But damn it, IT LOOKS SO GOOD! Quote
