They're Remaking 'Alien' -- the 'Prometheus' thread

Re: Fassbender plaything

Confidence and Disgust are indistinguishable.

Well, the look & feel of everything seems to be good, & the cast is good enough. I'm just hoping the script is good enough to warrant any fanboy hope(mine or others).

I'm going to pretend it is just some sci-fi action movie and hope there aren't any noisy dudes sitting behind me snorting and stage whispering about some comic books or novelizations or whatever dot com theories around some detail in the backround in one frame of alien^3

kind of wish there wasn't so much advertising material and fake commercials and shit

Blame Lindelof.

I'm enjoying the fake commercials, but mostly because thy're content-free w/r/t the movie. I have the problem that I always do with trailers in that I usually enjoy the experience more having walked in without much foreknowledge.

the latest david commercial is p awesome. the TED talk was a little eye-rolling but still fun as a poitless teaser.

remarkable similarities, at least if you understand german.

Ha, you just beat me to it. New international trailer y'all ^

I feel like i've seen enough at this point

I still wonder a bit exactly how much they ARE giving away. I have this suspicion it's far less than it seems.

I lolled at this:

"it's an invitation"

"from whom?"

FROM RIDLEY SCOTT

Hahahah good eye!

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY

Yeah so I can't wait for this movie. Put me in cryosleep until it opens.

Apparently, somewhere in this long interview the length of the movie is revealed: 119 minutes.

Goddamn I love a good face melt

HOT HOT HOT

Closed my eyes when this was on before Avengers.

maybe im a particularly suspicious soul, but this level of marketing generally bespeaks a less than awes movie.

Eh

im perhaps being solipsistic but ive been assailed with marketing for this thing in a way that seems quite excessive, which leads me to surmise that reviews and word of mouth for this will be poor, but they've decided to throw a great amount of money at marketing in order to achieve respectable numbers regardless. this pet theory may of course be bunkum. i tend to be often wrong.

as least they have flamethrowers

assailed with marketing for this thing in a way that seems quite excessive

I feel kind of the opposite of this, I've barely heard about this movie outside of this thread! Haven't been to a theater in a while, though.

The quality of the movie has nothing to do with the size of the marketing campaign. That's generally determined by the budget. The only way, I think, to determine the quality of a film solely from its marketing campaign is to look at the TV spots the week before and after it is released.

Yeah, the only adverts for this I've seen are internet stuff; mainly bits popping up here or on FB or io9 or something.

Oh, and the trailer before Sherlock Holmes. That was it.

SPOILERS OMG

It got an R rating, good on Fox for not shooting for PG-13.

Clip of landing spaceship!

Short commercial with 'in a world...' type voiceover guy but also some more gross bits!

http://io9.com/5910562/new-prometheus-tv-spot-shows-the-many-ways-this-crew-is-doomed

i think the only question left at this point for any sci fi fan who's been watching the trailers is whether the planet is lv426 or not

Glad they're keeping it nice and yucky.

man, i get the googlies just thinking about this shit

anyway, opening shot in that trailer looks a bit too "digital" for my tastes, esp the "prometheus" and weyland logo branding. suppose they'll refine that for release?
