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

Oh, wow, if they manage to keep the quality level the same as with Prometheus, they'll have ended up making six sequels in a row that nobody liked! That must be some sort of record?

He's saying he's going to fuck original Alien in the ass ?

Only one of these will ever get made

well certainly not by ridley scott... isn't he pushing 80?

In these prequels we will learn the aliens grew up in an abusive household

I'd take anything Scott says with a salt shaker.

Again with the back entrance

From a strict narrative sense, Prometheus is riddled with every conceivable kind of inconsistency and logical lapse. But you could say that about Lynch's films, or Jodorowsky (and Aeon Flux). To read such works literally is missing the point.

otm

yes that's the creator of aeon flux, on this board, 9 hours ago

Ah, the auteur defence. Seriously though I'm happy for the people who enjoyed this rude fart of a movie.

peter chung did not direct prometheus fyi

Good to know.

give him one of the new films, imo

no, to read a supposedly realist SF film as a surrealist masterpiece is missing the point

hmmm one of these things is not like the others

Danny McBride is going to be in this ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

please let him speak the line "give me a space abortion!"

lol

"I don't need some kinda freaky fuckin space squid in my guts, dawg."

he just wants to ride the space wheel

well, that's unpromising

I'm wondering if there's going to be something of a return to the blue collar space trucker vibe of Alien.

this movie will be worse than Space Truckers

this movie will be worse than "Star Trekkin,'"

Ah c'mon - no Noomi Rapace or Damon Lindelof. That at least improves the likelihood that it'll be better than Prometheus.

Are you really criticizing Noomi Rapace

How dare you! In Prometheus she had the best Swedish accent someone whose character was raised in India by an English father could have!

Frankly, I celebrate her entire filmography

Prometheus haters can suck a fuck.

Noomi Rapace isn't in the sequel? I thought it was supposed to follow up on the cliffhanger of the first movie?

Prometheus ended with Shaw and David striking out for the Engineers’ home world in search of answers. As previously reported, Alien: Covenant picks up about ten years after the events of Prometheus, and follows a colony ship, the Covenant, that lands on a planet whose sole inhabitant is Fassbender’s character David. We’ve been wondering how Shaw would fit in, even as Scott has teased that Rapace would have a “minor” role in the movie, and it doesn’t come as a huge surprise to hear she’s now been cut from the film completely.

As the best things about Prometheus were Fassbender, and Scott's visual flair, I'm okay with them jettisoning everything else if they're going to continue with this franchise.

If I have a criticism of Noomi Rapace it's that her name sounds like the title of an Alien movie in some weird European language only spoken on the border of France and Switzerland.

Prometheus haters can suck a fuck.

Word.

I didn't hate it, though I completely understand why many did.

OTM I hope the whole first act is just Fassbender putzing around on planet Giger or whatever

Also really intrigued now that Kenny Powers is gonna be in this

Fassbender's head duct taped to a little remote control dune buggy bouncing around planet Giger

Ha oh yeah I forgot about his head! Best (un?)intentionally funny bit in Prometheus was Noomi Rapace zipping up his head in her duffel bag and apologizing and him saying "It's quite alright."

Wow, prometheus lovers coming out of the woodwork. Next week, fans of the black death.

black ooze you mean

prometheus: we were so wrong

(FYI Rapace means bird of prey in French and Spanish, she and her then husband (Ola, the long haired guy in the first season of the swedish Wallander films) chose the name)

Wow, I did not know that. Kinda ridiculous.

And Noomi means "star of film version of sad man's erotic fanfic about himself"

You mean the Steig Larsson movies?

Okay, maybe not looking at the young and beautiful rounding out the rest of the cast.

Eh, they can just use makeup and CGI to make them look dirty and sweaty.

CGI Harry Dean Stanton over Jussie Smolett, whoever that is.

harry dean's still alive and working! they should cast him as the father of his character from alien

he should be the romantic interest of someone in the film

you know there's going to be some relationship projected into this thing, might as well make it involve hds

breaking: ridley scott's 'prometheus' sequel will include graphic, lengthy scenes of harry dean stanton fucking a xenomorph
