Ridley Scott Prometheus: NOT the Alien Prequel Details

Hmm. Those suits remind me of something...

It's been a loooong road.... No! NO! I will not!
 
Little known fact: in its earlier days, Weyland-Utani would only hire Abercrombie models for their space trucking.
 
I don't know about that. But what I do know is that way back in the day when Homicide was being filmed in Baltimore, I went to a cafe and Mr. Koto was there. Dude had a really young incredibly, I mean amazon tall Asian woman with him.

Course, I am only 5'6". He said hi while drinking his Coke through a straw. Seems kinda silly for a man to drink out of a glass through a straw, but that is just me. Loved him in that show, and The Running Man.
 
Point being Prometheus won't be the first film set in the Alien universe to feature an attractive cast.

I think it illustrates that what was considered attractive in the seventies may have been a little more natural/earthier than today. There's gotta be a 2D people/3D movie joke in there somewhere...

I am still attracted to Sigourney Weaver... Really I find her very attractive to this day as she is now. The same goes for Jamie Lee Curtis who is stunningly beautiful today as she is now. I like older women though...so yeah. Still hotties both of them!:lol

Yes I know JLC wasn't in any aliens films. Just throwing that out there.:)

Y'mentioned Skerritt as equating with these two wetsuit dudes on the grounds that he was a jeans model once. But there's a heck of a difference between a grizzled, bearded, worn-looking, middle-aged Skerritt and the two dudes in that pic, who are simply groomed to the hilt EXACTLY as if they are about to do a catalogue shoot, rather than explore some space thingie with their dinky little space flashlights. But maybe that's the whole point or something. Maybe in the plot they're constantly preening themselves, narcissistic vain a-holes who get their just desserts at the hands of da space jocks who wanna turn 'em into some mutated humans who look more like Harry Dean Stanton or something, and they go screaming into the mutation chambers as the jocks wrench their combs and hair-gels out of their hands...
 
Maybe I'm wrong, but I have a hunch that taken within the context of the finished film the cast's "grooming" as depicted on a magazine cover will become a non-issue. If it isn't already.

Same goes for the "dinky" flashlights.
 
I don't care too much when ugly people get eaten by monsters, it's the pretty people I don't want to see ripped apart :p
 
TGG, I'd take RP in a heartbeat, the chick in the glasses is hotter, and I'd flip a coin about the rat kid over the blond dude. I could live with your cast :)
 
The "blond dude" stands a good chance of taking home an Oscar this year for his work in "Shame" (and his almost-too-perfect haircut is appropriate given the character he plays in Prometheus).
 
If any of you guys start ripping on my man Idris Elba for being too pretty, that dude will personally come round to your place, tear your head off, stuff your flapping windpipe full of gumballs, then put your sister in the frame for the murder.

Just sayin' :angel
