I think that`s fantastic news. Regardless of the comments that are about to follow, another visit to that universe is something I very much look forward to. Especially from the man who framed the entire universe for us.
All fair and solid points.
I'm always going to be concerned just cause it's important to me, and I'm just a skeptic by nature. No real way around that and it's really my problem (and possibly my fault) rather than anything to do with the material.
I saw some stuff where the editor Joe Walker was discussing the production, it seems the script has been fairly stable from the start or close to it, and no major sequences were scripted and cut. Reading the final shooting script definitely backs that up in full. An establishing shot here, a line of dialogue there are the major differences. So I would guess that Ridley was thinking of things like transitional shots and so on in terms of how he might have cut down the movie.
I always liked how the offworld colonies are a total mystery and only alluded to and talked about, with the very subtle implication they may not be all that they are cracked up to be. If they can handle them tastefully, respectably and convincingly though, there is certainly a whole lot out there to play around in, show and think about.
Off-World colonies will be a great intro to Weyland-Yutani and Co
I thought it was odd that the producers didn't bother with promoting the film at NYCC, especially considering the film was opening the same weekend as NYCC. Would it have taken much to set up a booth or a display to pique interest at a convention geared for these movies? It's like they poured all their money into SDCC's event and ran out for NYCC. But I guess in the grander scheme of things, only SDCC matters to Hollywood, and everything else is small beans.
DVD Jan 16, right ? I've avoided seeing this in the theatre (and this thread) because I just can't handle that running time compared with potential morons in the crowd. Really looking forward to relaxing in my living room, taking a nice half-way intermission and sipping a rye.
Totally agree. Great soundtrack that hits you at the right moments and is almost it's own character in the movie.Make sure you pump the sound/base up. The sound was a very important part of the experience for me.
