Prometheus - Part 5

[Matt Mortem]

Seriously your going to pay to see a film that has been hacked to aquire a rating when the rest of the market gets the full film? Why not just wait for the uncut bluray in the Fall rather than tell Fox and the MPAA this nonsense is OK.

This news hasn't been confirmed so I see no sense in getting worked up over it. I plan on being in theaters opening day, regardless.

[RKO]

If that happens, the MPAA will be hearing angry letters for sure. We have become soft.

[regwec]

We might be in sovereign debt-based meltdown, but at least in Europe we can watch graphic alien rape at our leisure.

[Boom]

If this is true, I may flip my ****.

:argh:

[craigdbfan]

It's not ok but I'm still watching it in theaters. I'll be seeing the other 17+ cut as well though. :ninja:

[Boom]

I really, really, really hate the MPAA.

I trust you're not referring to me?

Same. Besides, as I said before, this news hasn't been confirmed. No sense in panicking over a rumor.

[Marvolo]

I'm referring to anyone who thinks this is ok. Not you specifically. This kind of stuff is not ok. I pay to see these films and I expect the full product.

Yes I could see it now and watch the uncut version on bluray, but I have no interest in an incomplete neutered film. Anyone who wants to pay for that well its up to them and I have no personal distaste for anyone who does so, but it is telling the studio and MPAA that this is ok and we will rollover and be tools.

I agree that it's bogus to release two different cuts of a movie because a studio wants more profits, but a couple of fans boycotting a film probably won't have much of an impact. Again, this is just a rumor at this point.

Your right that it probably won't do much by not going to see it. But I'm not boycotting the film to hold my breath like an upset child as i know it may seem. For me its about getting what I want for my money. I want the full film and not the bastardized version the US is getting. I'm an adult and I should be able to decide if the complete R cut is appropriate for me. The MPAA or studio will not tell me I have to spend my money on this incomplete version. I can wait til Fall or even Winter to see the full version.

I hope the US gets the full cut in theaters and this does turn out to be a false rumor, but knowing Fox's track record I'm thinking the rumor is true.

[Matt Mortem]

I'll wait for confirmation before I get up in arms.

[The Morningstar]

It's the American rating system you should have beef with, not Fox. I can kinda understand their decision, if it is true. The film is an investment on their part, they want to make as much money as they can.

As fans it pisses us off, but it's a business. But i'm in the UK anyway so... :D

UH OH!!!

ScriptFlags is reporting that European markets will get the R rated version of the movie and the US will get the PG-13 rated version of the movie. They also report the difference in run-time (17 minutes) is related to the rating, meaning American audiences will NOT get the full intense experience as intended.

I love how they ignore the rest of the world in this :whatever:. I wonder which version i'm getting if i dont live in the USA or Europe... i hope it's the R rated one :D

According to Viscal on the Prometheus Forum, he/she quoted someone who posted this (someone who understood French and got it from a French article):

In the French Press conference, he said he now found the perfect pace, it's tight but that's how he wanted it to be. In his mind 1h59 min was enough (without credits). http://www.prometheusforum.net/discussion/comment/21386#Comment_21386

So, basically, 119 minutes is pretty much what he wanted it to be. It's only two minutes longer than the original A L I E N, so that makes sense.

I think everyone is overreacting a bit.

It just goes to show how easy it is for one site to take something that someone else said and twist it into something else just to stir the pot, so they can get their 15 minutes of fame and get recognized for "reporting" something.

So true. They also just gave up their credibility in the future.

Well on the brightside we were faced with a horrible proposition and came through it. Honestly having two cuts out there of this film would have been my worst fear for it at this point. It shows a lack of confidence in what the film should be which doesn't instill confidence in me. Glad it isn't happening. I'll take the rating we get and be happy knowing something much worse could have happened.

Agreed. Having something like that really would've diminished my excitement for this film. But, knowing now that's not the case, I'm happy, because it shows that the people at Fox have confidence in the product that is being released.

It's definitely a far cry from the Fox that, a few years ago, meddled with the production of their films and suffered for it as a result. With the recent releases of X-Men: First Class and Rise of the Planet of the Apes, it looks like they've definitely learned from past experiences not to mess with the filmmaking process and let the director make the film he wants to make.

I mean, if Ridley Scott is happy with the cut that we're getting, the one that he always intended to make, then I'm happy. :yay:

[TheWiseGuy487]

The reason why that came about was because someone on another site, with questionable reliability, started the rumor that 17 minutes of the film was going to be cut for the U.S. release, and that cuts outside of the U.S. would get the "full movie".

However, that piece of "reporting" was debunked by a legitimate poster on the PrometheusNews.net forum using an two legitimate sources (a french article and YouTube video with Ridley himself), saying that the 17 minute thing was part of another quote taken out of context, meaning that the "two cuts of the film" rumor is now false.

On top of that, Ridley Scott himself said that 119 minutes, in the same interview, was "what this film should be."

There are not two cuts of the film!

WTF are you talking about? Ridley Scott himself said there was two cuts of the film, this has been known since way before that article. An R and a PG-13. The only reason the PG-13 cut exists is because PG-13 films make more money. I'm expressing my disappointment that I have to watch that version when the complete version could just as easily be released overseas like they did with Taken.

Believe me, I aready know Script Flags is full of crap, they've already reported tons of bogus 'news' since the film was 'Untitled Alien Prequel'.

[Oberon sexton]

Basically America should adopt the MA+15 rating that Australia carries. Having PG+13 for mostly tame stuff and then R+18 for anything over that is too extreme cut off. The MPAA should seriously add consider doing this.

I'm thinking it should be like a PG-15. Slightly more extreme violence, language and sexual content than a PG-13, but not enough to warrant an R rating.

[CapedCrusader14]

Yeah they should have a rating like our MA15+. They could simply call it M.

[TheWiseGuy487]

Yeah they should have a rating like our MA15+. They could simply call it M.

Oooh, I like that better. It could be short for "Mature audiences not under 15 permitted."

Kids that age are slightly more mature than a 13-year-old, so they can take a little more, but not quite as much as a 17-year-old that can watch R-rated movies. And, if the parents have any qualms about their kid seeing it by themselves, they can always watch it with their kid or anyone over 21. (Almost) everyone's happy.

They should seriously implement something like this. Imagine how much this would free up filmmakers worrying about having to cut back on the content of their films, since there would be that in between option.

[Mace Bloodstone]

PG-13 should be on the same level as the MA rating for tv. The Walking Dead, Sons of Anarchy, that type of content has so much more depth than a typical pg-13 film.

[Marvolo]

In America we don't even enforce the ratings system. You can get into an R film no matter what age you are as long as you have a guardian with you which is anyone 18 and older. The whole thing is a joke.

I agree. The MPAA makes no sense in this day and age. Besides, I know of many box offices that don't even bother carding people for most R rated films.

[dude love]

If Hollywood studios catered to the Australian OLFC ratings system, Hollywood cinema would greatly improve.


G (General) – Contains material intended for general viewing. G does not necessarily designate a children’s film or game.

The content is very mild in impact.

PG (Parental guidance recommended) – Contains material that young children may find confusing or upsetting, and may require parental supervision.

The content is mild in impact.

M (Recommended for mature audiences) – Contains material that may require a mature perspective but is not deemed too strong for younger viewers, though they still require parental supervision. This rating is the highest unrestricted rating.

By contrast, the classifications below are legally restricted — it is illegal to sell or exhibit material so classified to anyone younger than the mentioned minimum age.

MA15+ (Mature Accompanied for those under 15) - Persons under said age may only legally purchase, rent, exhibit or view MA15+ rated content under the supervision of an adult guardian. The exhibition of these films to people under the age of 15 years who are not supervised by an adult guardian is a criminal offence.

The content is strong in impact.

R18+ (Restricted to 18 and over) - Contains material that is considered unsuitable for exhibition by persons under the age of 18. People under said age may not buy, rent, exhibit or view these films. The exhibition of these films to people under the age of 18 years is a criminal offence.

The content is high in impact.

Films that got that unrestricted M rating? R rated films like Alien, Aliens, The Terminator films, Predator, the Die Hard series, Green Zone, the Lethal Weapon series, Blade Runner, Kingdom of Heaven, Gladiator, the first three Rambo's and the Matrix Trilogy off the top of my head.

Not to mention the MA15+ is not the death knell that the U.S. R rating is. Anyone 15 and over can see them. 15, 16 and 17 year olds with part time jobs and disposable incomes are who Hollywood are targeting with the PG-13 rating anyway. Giving them the content of an Expendables or a Raid: Redemption through legal avenues would mean a lot more money for them.

[Matt Mortem]

You know what bums me out about movies like Prometheus? It's that I fear that level of space travel will never exist in my life-time. Such a bummer.

Well hopefully James Cameron turns his attention to space travel next. We might not live to see FTL, but it'd be cool to see the moon, or Mars.

[PSYLENTGuardian]

If there's one thing I want to see out of James Cameron, it's a proper Terminator 3. But that'll never happen, so bring on the space travel.

I don't know abot James Cameron but Richard Branson has been working on it.

Branson has his own island, a deep sea explorer vessle and a car that turns into a boat.

Question.

As someone who has never seen any of the alien films, how many of them would you recommend watching before Prometheus?

Is just watching the first one enough? Or should I blow through the whole quadrilogy?

[RKO]

Alien for sure. Aliens because is awesome. Aliens 3 is a toss-up.

You don't need to watch any of them if you don't want because Prometheus works as a standalone movie according to those involved but obviously watching the other Alien movies will enhance the experience as you will notice some of the stuff that connects it with the other movies and the Alien Universe in general.

The first movie Ridley Scotts Alien is probably the one to watch. You can check out the other three (Aliens, Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection) if you want.

Ignore the Alien Vs Predator movies as they look like they have been booted from the movie continuity and they are not that good anyway IMO.

[nocomics]

Alien for sure. Aliens because is awesome. Aliens 3 is a toss-up.

:up:

I did enjoy Aliens 3, it wasn't bad at all and Aliens Resurrection well; it was a tad bad, but the stupid Albino Alien Hybrid design was godawful.

[Oberon sexton]

Alien 3 had the nihilism themes, kind of worked for what was meant to be the final in Ripley's story.

[hopefuldreamer]

Just watched Alien... it was okay, and I can see why people love it so much (some great lines, the 'shock effect', and Ripley's a great strong female character), but I don't think i'll bother with the rest.

If Prometheus works as a stand alone that's fine, though TBH I think not loving Alien may just mean Prometheus won't be my kind of film.

[Mace Bloodstone]

I can watch Aliens anytime... Alien is rather slow for multiple viewings. Watched it for the first time at the re-release in theaters, I think it was in 2002. Twice on dvd since then.

[Infinity9999x]

I prefer much prefer Alien above any of the other movies. I like the slow build, the suspense, and the "you barely see the monster" aspect of the film. It's very JAWS-esque.

However, if you're more into action, ALIENS would definitely be the film for you. I don't even consider it a horror movie, I consider it an action movie. It's much more high-octane then Alien.

Unless Shaw and company exterminate the Jockeys in Prometheus.

Unless you're going to do some serious retconning to the existing Aliens and AVP cosmos, then the Jockeys obviously aren't around for any of the other movies, except for Dead Jockey in the first Alien.

The original Alien 5/6 combo was about a jockey invasion. I very much doubt the AvP films are canonical anyway. The whole Peter Weyland character contradicts the AvP films anyway.

Well I'm on my phone, but when I get home, I'll dig up Cameron's interviews from the early 2000's.

EDIT:

http://au.movies.ign.com/articles/427/427459p1.html

According to Dark Horizons, Oscar-winning filmmaker James Cameron advised the BBC that he may indeed helm a potential Alien 5 (a separate project from the upcoming Alien vs. Predator film). "We're looking at doing another one," reveals Cameron, who also helmed the 1986 smash Aliens. "Something similiar to what we did with Aliens. A bunch of great characters, and of course Sigourney [Weaver]. I've even discussed the possibility of putting him [Arnold Schwarzenegger] into the Alien movie."

Cameron and Schwarzenegger previously teamed for the first two Terminator films, as well as True Lies. The closest Arnold has come to fighting an alien was in 1987's Predator.

By the way, Cameron "couldn't stand Alien 3 – how they could just go in there and kill off all these great characters we introduced in Aliens, and the correlation between mother and daughter. It stunk, but hopefully I'll get a chance to rectify all that [with Alien 5]."


His infamous interview with AICN;

JAMES CAMERON: Yeah. Ridley and I talked about doing another ALIEN film and I said to 20th Century Fox that I would develop a 5th ALIEN film. I started working on a story, I was working with another writer and Fox came back to me and said, "We've got this really good script for ALIEN VS PREDATOR and I got pretty upset. I said, "You do that you're going to kill the validity of the franchise in my mind." Because to me, that was FRANKENSTEIN MEETS WEREWOLF. It was Universal just taking their assets and starting to play them off against each other.

[Punisher Rising]

Saw the new trailer attached to Lockout, looks amazing.

[warhorse78]

Just give Aliens a chance and skip the rest. Ripley is even stronger, and a lot more aliens!

Oh yeah, not to mention she has probably the most iconic phrase worded by a female in movie history.

aliens resurrection isnt awful (it isnt anywhere near as good as the first 2) at least it continues alot of the themes from the first 2 - 3 is just awful

That actually is a very interesting theory. Along with the mural and some of the other example's the user put forth, it actually makes sense.

Resurrection had great sets and I really liked the first half of the film.... Then it goes to sh**!

[CapedCrusader14]

That theory on the Prometheus forums is very interesting. Very convincing as well.

[dark_b]

I really, really, really hate the MPAA.i am awoiding spoilers from this movie. and i dont want to watch any new footage. june is way to close. i am more hyped for Prometheus then i am for TDKR. but PG13 was happening. i told you all.

but i need to ask you now. are you angry at the MPAA because of Prometheus or do you hate MPAA because of their rating system? there are 2 threads about the MPAA. i talked a lot about th rating system. i hate it and i dont agree with this. the rating's dont make sense in a world where you can find everything on the internet . plus in the middle of the day they show on news channels how babies are born (close ups) and they show how people get killed with real footage .

i think there are only two options what is happening here
-Scott is talking about the MPAA to get som support from the fans because he knew that they would be angry
-he was naive enough to think that he would not have problems with the MPAA

Scott is a director for over 30 years. he know how the MPAA and hollywood changed in the last 10 years. he knows it becuse he made films in that time. so i say BS. Scott and FOX knew 100% what would get them a R rating and what a PG13 rating when they were in preproduction. MPAA has rules for blockbusters . it was Scott's job to make the best movie with the amount of money and with the PG13 ratings. if he failed he failed. its not MPAA?s fault.

I am very curious to see how this works, from what I've seen, there's going to be quite a bit of body horror in this film...and when I think of body horror, I thank of an automatic R rating. Yet it's PG13. Bizarre.

the mutated guy will be able to have more blood then a normal human. because MPAA thinks that if youare a normal human then blood is bad. but if you tranformed into an alien ugly monster then blood on you is not going to have a negative effect on children.

Are you being sarcastic? :cwink: Anyway, just to homour ourselves, I would suggest that the thought of a human transforming into an alien is R in itself. How do you get a PG13 from that?

Other examples would be

Shaw possibly giving birth to that squid monster seen in the trailer.

[Bruce Banner]

Also, I wish there was more Noomi in those interviews because I :hrt: Noomi Rapace.

I have to agree good sir.:up:

Nothing R rated about that, circle of life, it's a beautiful thing :cwink:

[Boom]

i am awoiding spoilers from this movie. and i dont want to watch any new footage. june is way to close. i am more hyped for Prometheus then i am for TDKR. but PG13 was happening. i told you all.

but i need to ask you now. are you angry at the MPAA because of Prometheus or do you hate MPAA because of their rating system? there are 2 threads about the MPAA. i talked a lot about th rating system. i hate it and i dont agree with this. the rating's dont make sense in a world where you can find everything on the internet . plus in the middle of the day they show on news channels how babies are born (close ups) and they show how people get killed with real footage .

i think there are only two options what is happening here
-Scott is talking about the MPAA to get som support from the fans because he knew that they would be angry
-he was naive enough to think that he would not have problems with the MPAA

Scott is a director for over 30 years. he know how the MPAA and hollywood changed in the last 10 years. he knows it becuse he made films in that time. so i say BS. Scott and FOX knew 100% what would get them a R rating and what a PG13 rating when they were in preproduction. MPAA has rules for blockbusters . it was Scott's job to make the best movie with the amount of money and with the PG13 ratings. if he failed he failed. its not MPAA?s fault.
I don't like their antiquated system.

I think it's absolutely ridiculous that sixteen-year-olds can hold a job and drive a car, but they can't see an R-rated movie. What kind of ass-backwards logic is this?

[Boom]

Apparently, the version of the film that Ridley Scott handed in to Fox is the director's cut:

http://badassdigest.com/2012/04/16/prometheus-will-be-ridley-scotts-cut/

Also, here's a 30-minute interview with Scott, Rapace, Fassbender, and Theron. Scott confirms that he turned in his cut of the film.

http://collider.com/prometheus-ridley-scott-directors-cut/159471/

[dark_b]

if it is R rating i will of course admit that i was wrong. and you have over 50 pages of me saying that it will be PG13. that was the deal that was the compromise.

i would love if its R rated. love ii. if its R rated i would be 200000 itmes more hyped then for TDKR.

and nice to see Noomi in interviews. i understand that they focusing on Fass and Charlize. they are known hollywood attractive actors.

[Donut]

I guess this movie will get some good double dipping on DVD & Blu-Ray

They also can't buy alcohol, gamble or die for their country before 18. Is that also ass-backwards?

And you can see R-rated movies. I did when I was 10. You just need your mommy or daddy or another adult to take you.

http://collider.com/prometheus-ridley-scott-directors-cut/159471/

Scott's emphasis on handing in his "cut of the film" makes me think his cut involves edits he wouldn't have done if they weren't looking for a PG-13 rating.

I don't remember him complaining too much before the theatrical release of Kingdom of Heaven, and it has become clear he all but hates it.

[Boom]

They also can't buy alcohol, gamble or die for their country before 18. Is that also ass-backwards?
I'm sorry, but I don't liken films to things like alcohol, gambling, guns, and serving in the military - as these are potentially life-threatening/life-ruining if not treated with a certain level of maturity.

And you can see R-rated movies. I did when I was 10. You just need your mommy or daddy or another adult to take you.
I'm 23, so I don't need to worry about that :funny:.

[DarthSkywalker]

Are you comparing dying for your country to watching a movie that features gore, cursing, and/or nudity?

I'm sorry, but I don't liken films to alcohol, gambling, or guns - as these things are potentially life-threatening/life-ruining if not treated with maturity.

You are making a moral choice based on what you consider life altering. Should kids not be allowed to eat fast food and candy either? It is after all life-altering. Should 10 year olds be allowed to watch porn?

My niece wouldn't go to the movie theater and had nightly nightmares for a couple years after my dumbass uncle took her to see a horror film (didn't tell us he was of course). I'd say that is pretty life altering for a kid.

I'm 23, so I don't need to worry about that :funny:.

Then what is your problem?

The only reason anyone cares about this is because of B.O. Do you want kids seeing this film? Does this film look suitable for children?

[Boom]

Firstly, I removed the first sentence from my post because it wasn't at all what you were saying. So I apologize for making that leaping assumption.

Secondly, I'm making the case for sixteen-year-olds, not ten-year-olds. There is a blatant difference in maturity level between those two age groups, and they are not comparable. But no, I don't believe R-rated content should be accessible to ten-year-olds.

Do I really think that sixteen-year-olds mature so much in the span of one year that they're suddenly okay to watch R films? Not really.

Then what is your problem?

But then what is the difference between a 15 year old and a 16 year old? Does that year really make a difference? Truth is kids mature differently. Every last one of us. The arbitrary age is that of majority which I am fine with, even though I find most kids aren't "mature" until their late 20s. :D

Thinking about your examples of driving and getting a job. A 16 year old can not do neither without parental consent where I live. You need an adult in the car at all times if you are under 18. Not sure about other states, but that is how it is here.

So really, not different from going to the movies. A 16 year old can go see Prometheus, he or she just needs an adult to accompany them.

I just have an inherent issue with the MPAA's standards.

I think most do, but I find that the problems a lot have with the MPAA has more to do with studios then the MPAA itself.

[Blue Sugar]

Just watched the french Q&A, great stuff. I love seeing/hearing great actors and directors talk about movies and moviemaking.

[Carnotaur3]

From what I'm hearing, the movie is R-rated and Scott's frustration with the MPAA is they aren't giving it a PG-13. It doesn't seem like he's making any cuts to get it a PG-13 according to the MPAA. One source says that there's one scene that is so horrifying and graphic that cutting it out would ruin the film.

[Marvolo]

I had no idea this was Prometheus in this image! His arms are tied down and his liver has been ripped out! I thought that was where an alien ripped though until I noticed the hands being lashed down. So the Greek myth in this film definitely came from these beings.

I'm not surprised, going by what has been released so far, I'd find it very hard to believe that this film could get a PG13 rating. I'm fairly certain of what scene they are referring to as well and I'd back the MPAA up on that.

[dude love]

So, that's a second viral dedicated to David. Yet the trailers make him look like he's just this film's equivalent to Bishop. I have a feeling there's more to the character than just another good guy who dies, or even more to him than an Ash style heel turn. Maybe he'll be the sole survivor?

New Prometheus Viral Video!

[dude love]

Is it supposed to end so abruptly?

[craigdbfan]

I didn't think it ended abruptly. It was essentially a commercial and the the last part just says the products tagline.

Just like any other commercial selling a product usually does.

[dude love]

When I watched it first, it cut to the end before the bit where he painted the action figure.

[craigdbfan]

Pretty awesome viral campaign. I really liked this video especially.

I'd also like to see what his relationship with the Space Jockey is going to be seeing as we've seen in the trailer the SJ casually strolling behind David while he looks enamored with that holographic starmap on the derelict.

[marvelman2006]

I was not ready for that level of acting so early in the morning but mods excuse me for this......GOD DAMN. Fassbender is rapidly becoming one of my newer favorite actors.

Even in a two-minute viral video, Fassbender delivers a captivating, memorable performance. That part where he has tears streaming down his face, there is a vacancy in his eyes that is both chilling and slightly tragic. You can tell that the tears are a mechanical response - not an emotional one.

What a boss.

[I SEE SPIDEY]

That bit where he's talking about what upsets him....war, pain, poverty....it's so hard to tell what he's thinking. There is a sadness there, but at the same time I'm thinking that it's his programming telling him to think those things.

Prometheus Exclusive: Access One of David's 7 Emotions
http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=89284

Following this morning's new viral ad for the android David in Ridley Scott's Prometheus, we've got an exclusive code that will unlock one of David's "emotions." You can use the code you see in the image below at ProjectPrometheus.com!

There are six more codes to be found online that reveal other emotions, so be sure to look around.

Opening in 3D, 2D and IMAX 3D theaters on June 8, the anticipated film stars Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Guy Pearce, Idris Elba, Logan Marshall-Green and Charlize Theron. Prometheus takes a team of scientists and explorers on a thrilling journey that will test their physical and mental limits and strand them on a distant world, where they will discover the answers to our most profound questions and to life's ultimate mystery.

William Thacker Oh.Why not?

Unknown-Because he's playing a psychopathic flesh-eating robot.

William Thacker- Classic

Fassbender was nominated for an Oscar for his role as a homicidal robot

[batman11]

I love how they didn't half-ass the binary, as the codes actually spell out the emotion names. Attention to detail for the win. :up:

(Unless of course that's how the emotions were unlocked - then it's just a puzzle. Did people have to enter the binary, or enter the emotion in English? Either way, cool beans.)

[Schlosser85]

That David ad is both fascinating, and creepy.

Fassbender is a fantastic actor though.

[redhawk23]

There is a full page David ad in the New York times today in a similar style to those fake weyland ads a few weeks ago. I wonder if they were in the NYT as well. If so, I am really sad I missed out on essentially a free poster of the ship.

[Solidus]

Great clip very creepy that is for sure. I dunno if I want a David 8 yet. Maybe the Ash models are more reliable ;)

[Lunar_Wolf]

I'd buy a David 8 and dress it up as Magneto.

[The Morningstar]

Amazing viral. Give the guy some award noms already! I agree with others about the part where he is talking about emotions. Really get the sense that he understands them and why humans feel them, but he can't actually feel them himself.

Fass is the ****ing man.

IMDb said Guy Pearce was playing Stannison. They're not to be relied on for accuracy. I think he's playing the bald bloke in the beginning of the first full trailer.

[craigdbfan]

I have a feeling Patrick Wilson is playing the Space Jockey. Call it a hunch.

The facial structure on both of them is very similar. I know IMDB has him listed as Noomi's father but I wouldn't fully trust that. Like Dude_Love said Guy Pearce was credited as some completely different character before we found out he was Weyland.

Remember in Aliens when Bishop comments on how the older models were twitchy? I think he'll react to the situation differently than both of them.

Plus, look at who he is working with, he is not Ash with space truckers or Bishop with the colonial Marines. David is working with scientists and their natural curiosity which led them their (which will no doubt backfire on them all). We could expect to get something entirely different maybe?

I think David, unlike the other androids, will have a proper character arc. I think as the movie will go on, just like the Replicants, he'll develop his own sense of morality, his own emotions, his own motives.

I personally don't want to see David turn out like Ash. I'd prefer him to be a more benevolent android like Bishop, although with a much more curious streak. I want to see David go through his own discoveries just as much as Shaw and the others.

[Raiden]

Fassbender is awesome.

Fixed. :cwink:

Seriously, I'm extremely impressed with what Fassbender has done with David so far. He's just an incredible actor and I hope the Academy will soon recognize his performance with an Oscar in the near future.

I clicked accidently on the Jon Favs takes on Disney's Magic Kingdom thread thinking it was this thread. I was like what the hell is everyone talkin about. :doh: :funny:

The second t.v spot might have inadvertently spoiled that.

Not Wilson. That's Rafe Spall.

Guy to the far right at :45. Looks exactly like Wilson to me.

I like that the costumes of the crew feature a variation of the original winged Weyland logo from Alien. I noticed it on David's costume in the recent viral video as well.

Found an awesome fan-made TV spot:

That fanmade TV spot was sick. I love the audio cues. Whoever did that did a great job!

Has Rafe Spall lost a lot of weight?

[Matt Mortem]

Has Rafe Spall lost a lot of weight?

Not sure how much, but it definitely looks like he's slimmed

[Whiskey Tango]

Hey duders is there a list of all the viral vids somewhere? How many of them are there?

[Matt Mortem]

I only know of two right now. The David vid and the Weyland TED talk.

[Whiskey Tango]

aight cool. thanks.

[Punisher Rising]

I think David, unlike the other androids, will have a proper character arc. I think as the movie will go on, just like the Replicants, he'll develop his own sense of morality, his own emotions, his own motives.


That sounds pretty spot-on to me, but it's hard to tell for sure this early in.

[corby]

Yeah, I think David's morals will be more ambiguous than the other androids we've seen.

[chamber-music]

Has Rafe Spall lost a lot of weight?

Yeah. Rafe lost alot of weight a couple years ago.

This how he looked back in Shaun Of The Dead

Holy **** that's him?!!?

There's red on you...

[superkong 500]

Spall looks like ryan reynolds brother in those pics.

[Matt Mortem]

I wonder when we'll get the next trailer. Methinks next month sometime?

[gohei_]

I saw the trailer for this in front of Battleship tonight, was really cool seeing it on the big screen. :up:

Definitely better on the big screen.

[gohei_]

Oh yes. This is one of my most anticipated movies of the year, I just know it's gonna be great.

[Kane52630]

I saw the trailer in 3D not too long ago and It blew my socks away, It's definitely worth seeing in 3D.

I know people hate them, but those Hitler videos never get old for me.

[Matt Mortem]

Is it confirmed to be PG-13?

[dude love]

Nope. Read the description of the youtube video. It's just making fun of overzealous fanboys.

No worries. For what it's worth, Devin Faraci hears it'll be an R.

[dark_b]

i think Devin Faraci heard that there is a scene that couldnt be PG13 and that is important to the whole movie.

Awesome comic-book art by Guido.
Luh-huv the lulz, too. :) Does it look like Shaw is giving somebody the finger in that Haterz pic.....?:yay:

[xmangambit]

Has anybody brought this up yet?

Shaw might be Ripley's Daughter?

[marvelman2006]

Her Mother sounds more likely.

[TheFuture]

lol

[xmangambit]

Well in Aliens in the directors cut a.k.a Special Edition you see a cene with Ripley looking at a photo of her Daughter.

What if it Shaw is her Daughter but dies in this film? Then the "company" just makes up that she died of old age?

Being her Mother would be more plausible though because of the time-travel aspect which wouldn't work her being her daughter. It would be awesome if she was her Mother.

[Monsieur Xavier]

The Alien universe doesn't need time travel, linking the "old" movies to the new ones by making her Ripley's daughter is just too much. IMO.

I really hope you're just joking...

[marvelman2006]

How can she be ripleys duaghter when this is a prequel? It takes place some time before ripley goes into space yes?

[Deathlok]

We definitely do not need that kind of connection, even if it were possible...

[chamber-music]

Ripley's story should of ended with Alien 3 or even Aliens for me personally.

[cherokeesam]

That's my understanding of it.

[Matt Mortem]

Yes. I definitely agree with you there. There should be no connections to Ripley whatsoever in Prometheus. At the time of Alien she was no one special, just some space trucker type who happened upon the space jockey ship. Including a Ripley reference in Prometheus would be forced and ridiculous. Prometheus is in the same universe as Alien, but they aren't overtly connected.
