this and the coke zero/battleship commercials have got me thinking that they should bring the crass tie-in shit to the next level and make the products major elements of the movie's plot. the aliens in battleship are coming for coke zero! the secret of prometheus is coors! etc.

The Hollywood Reporter interviews Scott, concept art, quotes, etc.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 22 May 2012 15:38 (1 year ago) Permalink
Also this overview of Scott's production companies contains a tidbit I'd missed:
Among upcoming projects: The Man in the High Castle, a BBC miniseries that returns Scott to sci-fi author Philip K. Dick

I love this insane detail:
Now Lindelof was ushered by the director to a building adjacent to Scott's sleek Los Angeles offices. "Ridley walked me up a stairwell, and there was a great big metallic vault door," recalls Lindelof. "It was a foot thick with some kind of locking apparatus, and he opened it carefully." Inside was a beehive of activity. "He introduced me to production designer Arthur Max and four 20-year-olds sitting at computers, designing stuff."
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 22 May 2012 15:42 (1 year ago) Permalink
Arthur Max is yet another guy with a hell of a resume, it looks like.

I am so hyped but everything about this seems specifically, scientifically designed to let me down. PLEASE DON'T SUCK.

I should watch Body of Lies and Robin Hood as a baseline for what recent-year Ridley Scott is like. The last film of his that I saw was American Gangster, which was pretty OK.

There's some spoilery stuff in the interview, obv, but I suspect you've already made your decision about whether to learn more or not about the film.

I'm going to be an optimist. Prometheus is going to rule! That way, if it sucks, at least I had the pleasure of anticipation. Who wants to waste one's time poo-pooing or nailbiting over some summer blockbuster that hasn't come out?

I remain excited but I'm trying not to read too much about it so I don't get pre-bummed out, should there be anything to get bummed out about. It's a delicate balance.

Someone re-cut a trailer from the original 'Alien' into the modern style. I love it when people do this; I like contrast trailer styles.

if any of you are crazy for alien's production design, one of the guys who worked on it has a 5-part documentary all about the making of it, with tons of detail on costuming, sets, props, etc:

All joking earlier in the thread re: 3D aside though - is there a way I'll know beforehand if this 3D thing will work for me? Still haven't seen a 3D movie and I, well, I kinda wanna know what it's like. This looks like something I might go and see in the cinema (haven't been since the last LOTR movie, to be honest, but this and the batmang thingy may possibly get me to break my waiting-until-the-DVD/bluray-comes-out habit).
