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

(Warning^ Entire film, more or less)

It's ALIEN... in space!

I see, they put a twist on it! Clever.

"what if... my two favorite words... what if... ALIEN met GRAVITY? hmm? hmm? think about it"

i mean, it's gonna be better than prometheus

'It's Prometheus...but worse!'

Ender's Alien

They should have the alien teaching tough inner city kids. They could call it ... Alien On Me.

Meantime -- in the same way they had a 'David' video out before Prometheus, here's a 'Walter' one:

Hoos, our viral king, should look into this.

guys i've cracked the code - this is all misdirection to divert our attention away from judge dredd showing up in the third act to kick some alien ass with his buddy walter

I love all this stuff. Cannot wait. Finally watched the long clip from a couple of weeks ago and it is great!! omg @ Danny McBride. If he doesn't say "Game Over" at some point I will cry. The choking joke is masterful trolling A+. I loved Prometheus but what it didn't have was this sort of cameraderie, which, when the shit goes down, makes everything 1000 times more intense

Oooooooooookay

guys is tracer ok

Last time I checked it's ok to like things! Even if it's Orometheud

LOL Prometheus I mean

Even my phone is being snarky

Lartbloomper

lol

well i for one am i looking forward to ridley scott's Orometheud

Oromotheud for Presidetn

James you disagree that tight emotional connections between characters raise the stakes in a horror movie? You don't like Danny McBride? You thought the chestburster fakeout was lame? Trying to parse your snark

I don't like mcbride. I thought the fakeout lame. Prometheus was balls. The colonists in the trailer seems as clueless and dumbarsed as the scientists in prometheus. James franco is shitty and smug.

Also, mcbride saying game over would be the sort of shitty in-joking i would be happy to never see in any movie ever again

Ooooooookay

I was kinda joking about "game over" - it would be dumm - but I'm just happy that they've refound a bit of that Thing-ness of funny people who care about each other. Not all Alien movies need to be like that (remember I like Prometheus!) but it's nice (for me) to see

"that Thing-ness of funny people who care about each other": this would be wildly different from oromotheud

Orometheud 2: Orome Theuder

McBride and Franco are big anti-selling points for me too.

"they cast Chet from Weird Science????"

enough of your shitty in-joking

I just googled "oromotheud" and v. disappointed

i too hate j franks but if you're looking to cast a kind of sniffy wet blanket you could do a whole lot worse

plus it looks like he's going to be literally hibernating for some part of the runtime here

not sure about these comedy actors in a bad film about people who can't turn left

otm very concerned about this tarnishing the legacy of Prometheus

I just googled "oromotheud" and v. disappointed

Ha, me too. Once autocorrect gave me this totally weird word that I googled, and it turned out to be some obscure regional Russian dialect. And I thought, 1) why would autocorrect assume I was typing this word that has probably been typed minimally throughout history, let alone in English? And then I thought, 2) if anyone was ever going to type this obscure Russian dialect, they were likely going to type it correctly the first time.

So, uh, everyone, it could be a lot weirder:

Alien: Covenant wasn’t the only supernatural sequel Ridley Scott discussed at this year’s SXSW. He’s also eager to make another Gladiator film. Only problem is... the main character is dead. But Scott said he knows how to bring him back, and I’m hoping it’s because a bunch of Roman gods want him to kill Jesus. Seriously, that’s a real script, people.

Referring to the legendary Nick Cave script that was never filmed...and which I'm hoping is back in the mix:

this isn't hard, people - pretty sure the black goo can bring people back from the dead. failing that, maximus could always return as a xenomorph. lot of dramatic possibilities there and i think it'd answer the 'big questions' we all had after the first film. at the least it now seems clear that 'oromotheud' is a roman name, or perhaps thracian. all my fanboy hairs are tingling - i'm ready to start camping out for opening night! i'm sure i speak for tracer on this also.

"ARE YOU NOT CHESTBURSTED?"

The Blade Runner sequel will tie in to all this as well. We're essentially seeing the creation of the Ridley Cinematic Universe.

Xenomorph, Deckard and Maximus will all team up Avengers-style to fight the true threat to the universe, last seen floating in the galactic void much like Thanos:

I'm looking forward to seeing Russell Crowe play both a xenomorph gladiator and Robin Hood. The biggest outstanding question at this point is whether the black goo could work to bring back Thelma and/or Louise, or whether it'll be retconned that the '66 Thunderbird was actually an early model of the flying 'Spinners' from Blade Runner. There's also a fan theory going around in the last forty-eight seconds that, possible spoilers, it'll turn out the black goo was actually the 'black rain' from the film of the same title. Not sure how I feel about that one but I'm confident Scott can make it work since clearly it is something he feels really passionately about.

To be honest, a part of me is starting to worry that he failed to learn anything from the botched launch of DC's universe (sorry, BvS:DoJ fans!) and is trying to do too much with one movie. You have to build to these things organically. Still, Tracer and I are super stoked to finally see the factory where the downed Black Hawk was assembled - I mean that's a story we've all been wanting to see for the last sixteen years, and it's essentially criminal that Scott refused to answer these nagging questions for so long.

And then at the end Harvey Keitel and Keith Carradine meet again. "So, rematch?"
