How is the setup with Prometheus?
It costs a lot of money and has a major director attached. Let's not compare it with a low budget movie.
How is the setup with Prometheus?
I actually kinda liked it too, but I was too afraid to come out of the closet
You're not alone....and I must be the only person I know that actually likes Resurrection. Beyond Joss' pretty terrible script, I think Juenet made a very visually attractive film (as always) and Ron Perlman is great.
Sure, next to ALIEN and ALIENS (and even Fincher's DC of Alien3), it's the unwanted red-headed stepchild... but as its own little bizarre side-story I get a lot of enjoyment out of it.
...oh... and Michael Wincott has an actual good guy (well, relatively) was a nice change of pace.
Why would there be scaled up digital paintings in set photos? All those photos are taken by a set photographer for behind the scenes publicity. The face is really there on the stage.
The face is a lot bigger in the more clear shot than the other one. It's clearly a composition and not not some random set photo.
But now that you guys enlightened me, I can definately see the face being built in the smaller shot. It's just not that impressive in it anymore :b
To each their own, I personally like the look of the face. Very atmospheric and creepy.
Or who knows, the Space Jockey could be a part of the ship in general. Maybe they surgically implant their pilots into their ships for some reason. After all, they're a l i e n s!!!
Still not feeling it. Something looks off. Why does it look like some Syfy TV series in terms of design?
It's not dirty enough. Characters and environments look like they're just out of shrinkwrap.
Probably some Fox movie in December.
I don't mean to be rude, but yes, I read books.
Prometheus Trailer Leak Upsets Fox Chairman Tom Rothman
Posted 12/1/2011 by Ryan
Over the Thanksgiving weekend, a bootleg version of the trailer for director Ridley Scott's Prometheus was leaked online just as Twentieth Century Fox had released some new images and details about the upcoming sci-fi movie.
While bootlegs usually want for quality, the Prometheus trailer was beyond poor, shot, presumably by the uploader, right off a TV screen with the perpetrator's image often reflecting off the screen. Fox eventually worked to remove the bootlegged trailer, but the damage was already done according to Fox chairman and CEO Tom Rothman. He called the leak "heartbreakingly unfair" when he talked to MTV at the Gotham Independent Film Awards.
It's not fair. It's heartbreakingly unfair, because Ridley Scott, in addition to everything else ... the quality of the visuals is as spectacularly beautiful, shot in 3-D compositionally the way only a master could do it. For some early, early, early, early half-baked, half-assed test to leak, it's so unfair. I will promise you this: When that material is ready and it comes out, you should go see it in 3-D on a screen. It will deliver.
Rothman also insisted that Prometheus is not a prequel to Scott's 1979 sci-fi classic Alien, as is rumored. Initially set as a prequel to Alien, it was the arrival of screenwriter Damon Lindelof (Lost, Cowboys and Aliens) and his subsequent reworking of Jon Spaihts's script that made Scott re-title the movie Prometheus, revealing that the movie would feature "a new, grand mythology and universe in which this original story takes place," that would only have "strands of Alien's DNA". Scott recently downgraded those "strands" to a "vague notion" of some "slight Alien DNA" while Lindelof revealed in June that Prometheus would "take place in that Alien universe" but would precede the original movie and wouldn't be "burdened by all the tropes of that franchise with Facehuggers and Chestbursters, and all that stuff."
Kinda sounds like a prequel to us, but Rothman insists it isn't. "Hand to heart," Rothman said.
I will tell you, here's the way to think about it. If you looked at the whole movie, 95 percent of it is entirely unto itself. Ridley said it right: If you're a fan and you look closely, you'll spot strands of the DNA — I mean that metaphorically. [But] I'll tell you the great thing: It's way bigger than that. The ideas are way bigger, way more original and — it's a scary word — way more profound.
I agree. They pull it off the internet and don't provide a finished trailer soon after ( which they should have done if the quality of the film really meant anything to them). Ridiculous.
Reminds me of that time with Louis CK on Conan. The famous 'everything is amazing and nobody's happy' joke. Which was taken off of the internet even though it would have created more exposure for Conan.
It's as if the internet is still unfamiliar territory to some of these folks.
^^^^^
Do you have a link to that Louis CK/Conan bit, I'd like to see that.
Post 999, just like the ten year anniversary of the Dreamcast launch, ooohhhh yeah.
So this has nothing to do with Alien?
Wow.. hype diminishing.

Seems very much like an Alien movie, with the 'aliens' in question this time appearing to be largely (and large) Space Jockeys rather than Xenomorphs.
Yup just watched the leaked trailer and anyone who has seen Alien and sees this will think they're connected due to that ship at the end.
Good eye but that's nothin.' Everyone here needs to rewatch the trailer and get ready to pause at 38-39 seconds, you can totally see the Space Jockey raising up in it's chair onto the platform from the first movie!

What's that dead body on the bottom right? That looks pretty "Alien" but I agree, the suits look Star-Trekie. Charlize Theron is a spitting image of Zero Suit Samus though.
Zomg. Never really comprehended that imagery the first time around.Good eye but that's nothin.' Everyone here needs to rewatch the trailer and get ready to pause at 38-39 seconds, you can totally see the Space Jockey raising up in it's chair onto the platform from the first movie!

Not that I doubt any of you guys but I'm having a hard time seeing it because of the quality.
Isn't that also a stomach about to pop at 0:38? Looks like a body on a hospital gurney.
Yeah, I cant really see it.. =/

It is the chair minus the space jockey. That is what makes the shot compelling.

Probably the most excited people have been about someone sitting in a chair in a film.
Personally, I won't be excited until Ridley Scott is spotted wearing a t-shirt with a chair on it.
