Because of that twitter post Fox will now delay it until February of next year.

 

[dark_b]

its delayed until december 12? it was never coming out before december 12.

there was no movie to realese it from middle november until december 12.

so nothing was delayed.

In the case of Cthulhu I agree because he was specifically named in the non HP Lovecraft novels.

Anyway, if some people fancy ( not sure about this expression but oh well ) to think that the 2 movies are linked it is fine. I was just expressing my disagreement, not judging.

Now, I will put myself in a waiting stance while waiting for this elusive trailer

Many of the stories don't have or mention Cthulhu but are considered part of the overall cycle due to some often minimal cross referencing often times just to fictional books or a mention of a town.

If that's true, then that's actually not so bad. That's a little less than a week away.

I don't know if every writer that does that is so bold as to suggest that there is some Cthulhu / lovecraft universe.

I'm not really getting the analogy...as people wrote those books after in the style of lovecraft. Not really the same.

Then you had some contemporaries like Howard who would included some references or vague similarities more or less as a sign of mutual respect.

At any rate its just usually referencing some objects and books or maybe a being/god. Not really the same.

I don't even think you can draw a definitive certainty that Lovecraft's books even took place in the same universe as each other..even if they do reference the mythos etc.. They are short stories, and there are contradictions a plenty.

There's no proof that they're connected.

Scott's said they might be, and fans have always thought it was.

And even if it was, what's it matter? Aliens never get to earth anyway.

From the runtime, it seems like it's the exact same teaser that was leaked onto the internet! Nice! t:

I guess that post on Twitter concerning the trailer being released on the 12th was correct as well!

Well, it also says Trailer v6. Version 6? I think they went through a bunch of drafts. For all we know they've kept it at the same length for each one.

 

[JakeSully]

few other trailers that are 14A on the trailer page are all for R rated films such as Sleeping Beauty and Haywire (the trailer for the Thing prequel was also rated 14A on that page). Prometheus was also given the 14A rating, so maybe Prometheus could end up getting an R rating after all?

Yeah its possible they might have changed a couple scenes around and whatnot.

yes please

 

[Thedudehimself]

I agree. In order to make Prometheus the perfect film, I feel like it COULD be, it has to be R-rated. If not for gore and ****, then at least for gritty and dreadful tone. I hope so much its rated R. Please god.

I agree. The franchise is traditionally "R" for a reason. Trying to dumb it down for kiddies and families would be a huge mistake.

Ridley Scott: “The Only Way to See a Film [is] Inside a Large Movie Theater,” But Blu-rays Will Do in a Pinch

http://www.slashfilm.com/ridley-scott-film-large-movie-theater-great-sound-pristine-picture/

It’s not uncommon nowadays to catch people watching movies on their iPhones on the subway to work or while waiting around at the laundromats, but I suspect the vast majority of cinephiles will still agree that nothing can quite beat the real theater experience. The tickets may be overpriced, the popcorn stale, and that guy in the third row who keeps texting throughout the movie really annoying — but unless you’ve got a personal home theater, it’s pretty much impossible to replicate the immersiveness that comes with big sound and a huge screen.




In a recent essay, filmmaker Ridley Scott argues eloquently in favor of watching movies at the theater — or on Blu-ray, if you absolutely must watch a movie at home. OK, so it’s utterly unsurprising that a filmmaker thinks the best way to watch a film is in “the way the filmmaker intended,” but he makes some pretty good points nonetheless. After the jump, read his views on physical media, streaming, and the moviegoing experience.
Scott offered up his thoughts on The Huffington Post (via Bleeding Cool) — read an excerpt from that post here:




In my view, the only way to see a film remains the way the filmmaker intended: inside a large movie theater with great sound and pristine picture. Music and dialogue that doesn’t fully reproduce the soundtrack of the original loses an essential element for its appreciation. Simply put, the film loses its power.




Short of that, the technically sophisticated Blu-ray disc, of which I’ve been a supporter since its inception, is the closest we’ve come to replicating the best theatrical viewing experience I’ve ever seen. It allows us to present in a person’s living room films in their original form with proper colors, aspect ratio, sound quality, and, perhaps most importantly, startling clarity.
Which is why it has never made sense to me that those preoccupied with how movies are delivered have for years written off “physical media” (i.e., movies on discs) as “dead” even though the evidence shows it isn’t happening and won’t for years to come. Technology will need to make many more huge leaps before one can ever view films with the level of picture and sound quality many film lovers demand without having to slide a disc into a player, especially with the technical requirements of today’s 3D movies.

Indeed. We must never lose the theater experience. It is essential. I'm not a traditionalist, but the theater experience is more than tradition. It's a collective unity of people sitting down and experieing the same thing experiencing different emotions and opinions. That is something special that must never go undone.

 

[Still Wynning]

Yeah its possible they might have changed a couple scenes around and whatnot.

Well, since the leaked teaser got such a positive reaction, they most likely won't change it too much, if at all.

 

[craigdbfan]

Lets hope so.

Other people are the worst part in a long list of bad things that make seeing a movie in a theater a bad experience.

"Going to the movies" always felt so special when I was a kid, but now it just feels like a giant hassle.

only the internet community watched the leaked teaser. the trailer is for the general public.

i hope they will realse the same trailer. GP needs to be shocked in the theater.

 

[Marvolo]

They better not change the teaser. That was a fantastic teaser.

This.

The movie theater crowds have either grown more obnoxious or I've grown more cynical or maybe a mixture of both.
