Dark Horse is putting out a whole interlocking line of Alien, Predator, AvP and Prometheus comics soon. Because:

lol fanboys will suck up any shit, proven by science again and again

fuck, let's hope they can reconcile the timelines...

pred ship

Someone might be able to do something with Prometheus in comic book form

It's certainly easier to just throw in the trash.

there are really 3500 posts abt this?

if i were feeling generous i'd call it a missed opportunity.

I thought the same thing but then I watched the movie

just so many simple things done poorly

i was one of the poor simple things done when i paid to see this shit

kind of great use of the Prometheus trailer music/genre, if a bit long. Would always rather watch The Black Hole in any case.

Neat trailer. I always like it when people cut together modern-style trailers for older films.

recently watched all the hours of making-of stuff on my alien and blade runner DVDs; what happened after 1983 to turn ridley scott into such a boring old fart?

i mean, he really knew his shit back then, thought everything through really clearly and cleverly, had heaps of great ideas. now we're going to get Blade Runner 2 and it will be awful.

March 2016 for the sequel. Ridley Scott returning. Writer of the...er...Green Lantern taking a pass at the script.

ridley, dude...wtf are you doing

Prometheus II: Duometheus

i dunno that the Ridley thing is a shock because the quality of his output has been...not great? (i say this as a massive Kingdom of Heaven apologist)

I just hope we find out that his Exodus movie is also an Alien prequel

Prometheus II: Now With New Boring

Maybe they'll make it with no sound this time so we can just admire Ridley's space-pretty

still love this movie :-/

adorable :)

eh why the hell not

Basically if this is to be any good (it won't be obv) it has two options: go the full-on sci-fi horror route or take the lazily invoked religious hooha from Prometheus one and push it to the extreme (i.e. GIMMME GIGER PLANET RULED BY TALKING ZARDOZ HEAD WITH VAGINA MOUTH)

prometheus vs predator

discussing this with my son the other day but we thought Fassbender was going to duck out and we came up with excellent ditch-the-head storylines, anyhoo the upshot was on the one hand i wanna see this in the cinema to get the full blast of hilarity but on the other hand i don't think anybody shd be encouraging this tool by giving him more money

I dunno, I would be happier if Scott keeps on making incoherent-but-gorgeous hot sci-fi messes like Prometheus rather than the boooring historical epics he's been churning out since the 90s.

LV-426: Conquest of Paradise

Will noomi ridley of this somnolent scott

feel like gremlins > gremlins 2 would be a good template for the direction of this seprequel

PROMETHEUS 2: ANTIMETHEUS

as always, estela said it first, soz

i have you all killfiled, this is just high tech doodling for me tbrr

tbrr if you've killfiled estela AND me then there's absolutely no justification for being on ilx at all imo

I've killfiled every single person on ilx I'm just guessing that the conversation itt has turned to killfiling at this point

I dunno, I would be happier if Scott keeps on making incoherent-but-gorgeous hot sci-fi messes like Prometheus rather than the boooring historical epics he's been churning out since the 90s.
