Ridley Scott Prometheus: NOT the Alien Prequel Details

Didn't they threaten to give the original ALIEN an X rating because of the gore? I think I remember hearing that somewhere.

I'm sure this is not going going to be the movie Ridley wants in the theater. There will always be studio pressure on horror movies to tone it down. I'm sure there will be enough on the cutting room floor for Ridley to add to a Directors Cut when the time is right.
 
Every time I look at anything about this movie, I can't help but get excited imagining what it is going to be like seeing pieces of what Ridley is going to do with Blade Runner. The man just does high quality sci fi work! I CANT WAIT!
 
Rodney, I'm doing the exact same thing. Squee-ing like a girly girl over each new still or bit of footage. Squeeze out every last drop of enjoyment from the anticipation while it lasts, eh? Just don't be crushed if the film turns out to suck horribly.

Scott DOES do masterful anticipation. It's an experience in its own right.
 
i hope . i have a bad feeling that ridley is going flat like speilberg . was not a fan of robin hood . i always pray for the best though , for the good of all geekdom ! just dont want another revisit to the genra kingdom of the crystal skull style . that would be not good.
 
Here are a few of the images that grabbed me from the second teaser thingy:

The film has guns in it. Looks like target 22's. Hammerili maybe.

I for one have no problem watching a sci fi film set in the same "universe" as Alien, but that isn't necessarily about them. I love the idea that we see the derelict crash on LV426.
 
One thing I AM gonna have my work cut out getting round is if the space jockeys are evil. I always liked to think of the SJ as a benign, hapless victim.
 
I always felt the Jockey was a victim of his own cargo. The more I watch this trailer the more I'm getting excited. Jockey head, fear, legging it at speed from bad things, It also looks like a Jockey ship on the horizon when the garage door opens. I'm so so so pleased this film ahas been made. I still think its great that the trailer doesn't give much away as in the begging middle and end. THe large ship, machine thats crashing down on the fleeing crew I bet is in the first act and not an end peace, Ridley wont give away the end not like this, no chance. Roll on HD version
 
It turns out the Derelict Ship was actually a tree that our heroes chopped down without realizing it would fall on them.

Sorry, been watching too much MST3K. :)

This does beg the question. Who sent out that warning? Was it the Space Jockey, or the crew of Prometheus? If it was the crew, did the signal get scrambled so much that by the time the Nostromo encounters it, the warning is barely intelligible?

Makes sense. Hafta admit I never did much joined-up thinking about the relationship 'twixt jock and eggs. I suppose I always kinda figured the jockey's ship might've been invaded by the Alien and its eggs or summat. Or sabotaged, like.

Scott's got every right to view them as hostile mothers, sure. Guess it's my prob if I've developed the cuddly jock thesis over the years, lol... a thesis prompted by that pachyderm-like phsyiognomy...
 
Sure, he probably is transforming. I was thinking about the acid burns because of the condition of his suit, and he has a big black mark on his cheek, and because in one of the teaser teasers (I have not watched the leaked one) we see a helmet that looks to be melting.

Been my fear too but maybe with him being on home territory he'll pull it off. I'm drunk right now so I'm giving in to an uncharacteristic burst of optimism. 'Ere, Rid, mate, yer me best ****in' mate (hic!)
