The little girl from Poltergeist was the one who died

bark ruffalo (latebloomer), Thursday, 17 May 2012 22:10 (1 year ago) Permalink

the late great, Friday, 18 May 2012 05:52 (1 year ago) Permalink

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

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 22 May 2012 15:40 (1 year ago) Permalink

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 love the large auns pictures! (Phil D.), Tuesday, 22 May 2012 15:54 (1 year ago) Permalink

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.

mh, Tuesday, 22 May 2012 15:57 (1 year ago) Permalink

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.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 22 May 2012 15:57 (1 year ago) Permalink

Phil otm, I really don't want this to suck

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 22 May 2012 16:11 (1 year ago) Permalink

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?

He's sick of the Swiss. He don't like em. (Austerity Ponies), Tuesday, 22 May 2012 16:18 (1 year ago) Permalink

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.

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 22 May 2012 16:22 (1 year ago) Permalink

So jealous that the UK is getting this a week early

I'm gonna have to avoid the internet for a week come June 1st

I'm going to be on vacation! It's like a built-in spoiler buffer.

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.

Choad of Choad Hall (kingfish), Sunday, 27 May 2012 20:55 (11 months ago) Permalink

i would pay to go see that movie

trailer for this movie is fucking insane

I've got tickets for the midnight showing this Thursday. Really hope it's going to be worth it.

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:

ok! (xpost)

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).

do you lack general depth perception abilities?

astigmatism can bugger it up.

Merdeyeux, Monday, 28 May 2012 17:41 (11 months ago) Permalink

No, not usually, but I know people who've had to leave because of headaches/shit just not being in focus for them etc. - I wear contacts (slight myopia) so I wondered.

StanM, Monday, 28 May 2012 17:48 (11 months ago) Permalink

(No = general depth perception problems)
