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

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.)

lolz

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.

ya

Well let's assume the future was won by Randian acolytes and 'ethics' are an amusing thing people participate in reenactment societies for, like Civil War battles and the like.

god, that's like the creepiest Apple ad ever. A+

Meanwhile there's also this now:

that has renewed my hope

Love his 'joy' face.

Re: Fassbender plaything

Confidence and Disgust are indistinguishable.

Well, the look & feel of everything seems to be good, & the cast is good enough. I'm just hoping the script is good enough to warrant any fanboy hope(mine or others).

I'm going to pretend it is just some sci-fi action movie and hope there aren't any noisy dudes sitting behind me snorting and stage whispering about some comic books or novelizations or whatever dot com theories around some detail in the backround in one frame of alien^3

kind of wish there wasn't so much advertising material and fake commercials and shit

Blame Lindelof.

I'm enjoying the fake commercials, but mostly because thy're content-free w/r/t the movie. I have the problem that I always do with trailers in that I usually enjoy the experience more having walked in without much foreknowledge.

the latest david commercial is p awesome. the TED talk was a little eye-rolling but still fun as a poitless teaser.

lol, confidence = disgust

remarkable similarities, at least if you understand german.

Ha, you just beat me to it. New international trailer y'all ^

I feel like i've seen enough at this point
