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

ppl love them some 70s graininess huh

it's also the color cast

the american people in their wisdom are likely to look at a cannily "distressed" poster and wonder why this old piece of shit is on the wall of my theater

so that's successful design in a way...

a weird snapshot my friend took

it should just read "ridley scott re-redefines a genre"

The Blair Alien Project: some astronauts were sent out and this is the movie that was found on the planet they visited. xpost

i like the way the "artfully" distressed poster that davidm posted a ways back looks both cleanly contemporary and strongly reminiscent of a pulpy 50s sci-fi book cover. only needs a phallic, fin-standing rocketship in the background to fill out the "stephen soderberg's buck rogers" vibe.

otoh, hate the "weird snapshot" version lagoon posted.

Ridley Scott at the PROMETHEUS press conference — “Doing it in 3D was no problem at all. You don’t realize it, but we actually see things in 3D all the time. We just don’t realize it. You’ve got long sight and short sight, and together those two things make up 3D.”

Scott has a great eye, but what exactly is it hooked up to?

lol

O_o

Mind blown

You don’t realize it, but we actually see things in 3D all the time.

holy shit, that book look like it's COMING RIGHT AT ME!!!

THEY FLY @ U FACE

ty

it would suck to lose an eye and have to look at the world in 2d

Alex Jones weighs in

of course he does

"its storyline, its plot, mirrors that of ancient civilizations"

And btw, who the hell favorites videos just to go back and watch them to "laugh" at them? Thats nonsense and a waste of time. Why dont u just move on instead of trying to piss off genuine ppl interested in genuine truth from a genuine source?

This top comment is gold. Hello! Welcome to youtube!

Hmm...

What does it say on their cockpit screens?

"Eat At Weyland Yutani"

(Actually the one on the lower right says "impact imminent," and way off through the viewport you can see the pred ship.)

i realized today that the space jockey is probably a predator queen

hahaah

omg that bunny. srsly hope every element of that construction is 100% choklit.

picture with one person, shown from the back, looks like everything in that room is made up of the biological pods that gooey aliens pop out of

the trailer (in HD at the highest setting on You Tube) is easily the best *looking* trailer i've ever seen, it's unbelievable, even on a standard PC monitor.

Imagine how unimaginably incredible it would be like in something incredible like 3D!

saw the trailer last night and it is like the greatest trailer in the history of the world ever, probably means the movie is awful.

xpost love the how much the design draws from 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY

noticed that same inception-style "horn of doom" noise when the giant dragon thing appears at the end of the avengers trailer

the horn of doom is in like 80% of all action/scifi trailers now

"The Wilhelm Horn"

love the how much the design draws from 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY

I can't remember who the guy was, but there was an actual dude who did all this kinda design work. 2001, Alien, Space:1999. They also reference his stuff in "Moon"

Ron Cobb was the main (non alien) concept guy for Alien, don't think he had anything to do with 2001 though.

douglas trumbull was the main design/effects guy on 2001, and he also has credits on things like silent running, close encounters etc. as ledge sez, it was ron cobb who did most of the spaceship etc design on alien, w/ moebius designing things like the spacesuits.

The fingerprint's a nice touch. Very Blade Runner-snake scale.

that was fantastic

yup

but kind of spooky for an advertisement

It's shown exclusively on the luxury box seat feed for Super Bowl CXVI

Actually saying "unethical" was a bit much.
