I can't think of another movie I've anticipated more in the last decade. Sci-fi + Ridley Scott = Fucking Win.
[ Invalid YouTube link ]
-
Great. Ridley Scott can't miss with his shit.
-
I came loads!
'Cut it off.....Cut it ooooooffffffffff!'
Face-huggers galore!
-
Alien prequel :D
-
Best reaction:
"When this trailer began, I was sitting calmly in my chair, wearing a fresh clean set of clothes, and generally having a pretty decent evening. Now the trailer has ended, and I am sitting here absolutely soaked with sweat, my hands are shaking, I have an absolutely MAMMOTH rock hard veiny erection, my underwear is FILLED with diarrhoea, and if I'm honest it looks like somebody has put two broom sticks under my t-shirt where my nipples should be. All in all a pretty common reaction I would say?"
-
If RS has maintained and executed his filmmaking skill from ALIEN, then this will be successfull.
-
I hope this brings in a new era of adult sci fi movies, I'm so sick of the film industry making everything for children. We got the technology sci fi movies should be way more popular than it is.
-
that looks fucking awesome
-
YES~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Alien prequel :D
Actually it's not.. Scott wanted to do one but wasn't given enough freedom. This may seem like it is an Alien prequel but its totally different.
Cameron screwed up the direction of Alien when he took over in teh sequals making it "hollywood" and taking away from teh darkness etc

I was always intrigued by the Space Jockey. It seems like we'll finally get to see the story behind it.

Has anyone here been keeping up with viral campaign?
You got to see the TED video and the David 8 video.
Awesome shit.
-------------------------------------
The TED video. This is actor Guy Pierce (L.A. Confidential) playing Peter Weyland. He is the founder and CEO of Weyland Industries. His company builds the ship Prometheus. His company also builds the androids we've seen in the previous Alien films. The company in the original Alien (1979) film that Sigourney Weaver and crew worked for was Weyland-Yutani. In Prometheus, Weyland is still on its own and has not yet merged with the Japanese conglomerate Yutani Industries.
Here, Peter Weyland is speaking at a TED (http://www.ted.com/) conference talking about the Titan Prometheus giving us our first piece of technology - fire. He goes on to talk about our accomplishments and remarks that "we are the Gods now." 8)
The David 8 video is our first detailed look at a David 8 series android. He is the latest model of artificial intelligence androids offered by Weyland Industries. He is played by actor Michael Fassbender (X-Men: First Class). :o
-
Its gonna be great!
Awesome shit!

Isn't this just an eloquent way of saying "survival of the fittest"? ???

So you won't survive, uberman.

I am seriously SO excited to see this! Cannot wait. I anticipate a major boner the entire time I am in the theatre.

So you won't survive, uberman.
Exactly, one day, i wont be able to survive anymore, just like any living being, including you.

Ridley Scott is one busy mofo
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000631/
-
The only thing that scares me is that Damon lindelof had a hand in this film.
-
I agree, A77. That is the one thing that scares me too. You'll never find a more disappointed Lost fan than me. :-[
I love that David 8 states that he can "carry out directives that humans may find distressing... or unethical." ;)
Get ready for trouble. 8)

The International Trailer for Prometheus.
There is supposed to be a second International Trailer coming early next week.
-
The New Prometheus International Trailer. 8)
Prepare to be blown away. :o
No HD version available yet. :-[ Probably a day or two away.
-
I have a feeling Charlize Theron is an android.
-
Nah, I think Scott wants us to think that. ;)
She may end up becoming a creature though. Some sort of pre-Xenomorph.
Watch it again. She is clearly changing into something at the 2:27 mark. :o

The pre-face hugger? :o

New featurette. :)
This is the one that came out a few days ago in Russian, but it is now out in English.
-
It appears the new creatures ("pre-facehuggers" or some others) are tiny, almost 1/8 of an inch and seems they won't be parasitoids but most likely symbiotes.

Can't wait to see this movie, was always fascinated by the Space Jockey. This is supposedly a pre-production shot of a Space Jockey prop:

Really? What are your opinions.

Really? What are your opinions.
All icing and no cake. Script was nonsensical, disjointed, junk. I had no idea what I watched when it was over. I thought some scenes were beyond ridiculous, (the abdominal incision scene in particular. Another synthetic ripped apart, (yawn). What a shame.
-
Ridley Scott is directing, so it can't be too bad. I hope.
-
Ebert likes it.

Edit: Saw it last night, and it was interesting although not outstanding. Some of the best visual effects I've seen in quite some time. The movie didn't feel like it was three hours long.

How the failed Dune movie you never saw gave birth to Prometheus
http://blastr.com/2012/06/watch-the-premiere-episod.php
Hosted by Andrea Feczko, BlastrTV will stream to you here, as well as on Syfy's XBox Live app and on the Blastr mobile and tablet apps. This first episode tells the crazy, almost unbelievable story of how if it weren't for Alejandro Jodorowsky's insane attempt to make a feature film based on Frank Herbert's Dune in the 1970s we wouldn't have the Alien franchise ... or Prometheus.
As you'll see, it's a rather twisty tale
-
Watched it in 3D the other day!
Awesome movie and well worth watching in 3D!
-
Could have been a bit more polished all around but still entertaining.
-
Loved the movie. Wasn't at all hard to follow. The script wasn't perfect, not close even, but the movie was solid from beginning to end.
The movie made sense but it doesn't spoon feed you every little thing and hold your hand. Everything was there for you to see or hear, I admit some parts could be a bit thin or you could miss a detail if you weren't paying close attention, at least in my opinion. A lot of open ended questions and such but I think I would have been less satisfied if all questions were answered.
Really, again, in my opinion, the microcosm was David, his "thoughts and relationship with Weyland and the humans. I mean, just watch David...what he says, his tone, his questions and especially his body language. A lot of what the movie is about is through David....our creation.
There was apparently 30min of footage left on the cutting room floor that may be in the Blu-Ray release, when I left the theater I thought to myself that it could have been fleshed out in more places.

PROMETHEUS: New Viral Video Recruits Fans For The San Diego Comic-Con
A new viral site called ProjectPrometheus.com has launched and takes fans to a "Careers" page featuring three new viral videos from Weyland Corporation employees. Only the video below (featuring Jamie Rossi, a "nanotechnologist") is currently available, although the next two are sure to follow soon after. However, the most interesting part is that fact that the end of the video reveals the URL, ProjectPrometheus.com/SDCC. There's nothing there just yet, but as any self respecting comic book fan should know, "SDCC" stands for the San Diego Comic Con (taking place next month). Looks like the story of Prometheus is far from over...

Fox Confirm Plans For A PROMETHEUS Sequel Set To Be Released In 2014 Or 2015
In a piece about which of the summer blockbusters released this year look set to get a sequel, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that 20th Century Fox and Ridley Scott are moving ahead with a follow-up to Prometheus. With a budget of $130 million and a worldwide box office gross of $303 million, there's no reason for the studio not to continue the franchise. Both Michael Fassbender and Noomi Rapace are signed up to return, although it's unclear whether or not the films co-writer Damon Lindelof will be able to return due to other commitments. "Ridley is incredibly excited about the movie, but we have to get it right. We can't rush it," Fox president of production Emma Watts, told the site. Apparently, the Prometheus sequel will be released in 2014 or 2015.

PROMETHEUS: 10 Minutes Of Deleted Scenes
The French DVD version of Ridley Scott's Prometheus has an additional ten minutes of footage that the rest of the world did not see, now here's your chance to view it.
-
I remember reading that Prometheus would have an extra 24 minutes of deleted scenes but they cut it down to something like 13-14 minutes. Maybe the French version will get all these scenes.
Really interested to see the extended opening sacrificial scene and the "dialogue" scene with the Engineer and David.

Preview Of PROMETHEUS Deleted Scene: The Engineer Speaks!
For the theatrical cut David (Michael Fassbender) tries to communicate with The Engineer, and as we wait for a reply, the enormous human-like alien gently taps the android on the head. Okay, seems like it'll be a nice chat, and then he rips David's freaking head off in an abrupt and vicious manner. In that version the audience is left with more questions, not truly knowing if David's message was understood or not by the Engineer. But the version below solves that mystery as for the first time you will hear the Engineer speak. Speak I say!

Second PROMETHEUS Deleted/ Extended Scene Features More From Peter Weyland
While these extended versions of the original scene don't actually shed any more light on exactly why The Engineer decided to wipe out Weyland and his crew, they are still interesting additions. Maybe he the big fella just thought Weyland's God complex needed to be taken down a peg or two..

More PROMETHEUS Deleted Scenes Featuring Charlize Theron & Idris Elba
The first of these scenes features Prometheus' lovable moronic duo, Fifield (Sean Harris) and Millburn (Rafe Spall). One a geologist afraid of fossils and the other, a biologist grossed out by what appears to be shed skin.
The second deleted scene is actually pretty interesting as Captain Janek (Idris Elba) drops by Meredith Vicker's (Charlize Theron) swanky digs with rum in hand, and a backstory that gives Janek's character some depth.

Skip to 5 minutes on the clip.

PROMETHEUS Extended Scene Between Shaw & The Engineer; Plus Full Weyland Scene
The first two scenes in the video below I posted yesterday so you can skip those. At about the five minute mark you can see the Weyland/Engineer encounter in full.
Lastly we have an extended cut of Shaw's confrontation with the Engineer. This takes place right after, in my opinion, the worst scene in the entire movie. What's that? Oh, when Janek rams the Engineer's ship and it comes hurtling back down to the surface. Now that isn't what makes it so bad. No, what makes it so bad is that Vickers (Charlize Theron) and Shaw (Noomi Rapace) see that the damaged spaceship is barreling down on them, yet they continue to run in a straight line. Say what? Yup, it's unbelievably stupid. Of course at the very last second Shaw luckily trips, falling to the ground, realizes how much of a moron she has been, and simply rolls to the side to avoid the oncoming debris. However, Vickers I guess is supposed to be having a blonde moment, and she just keep running straight until she becomes road kill.
Anyways, back to the extended scene below. In the theatrical cut Shaw races back to Vickers' module since she is running out of air. She gets there, sees the tentacle alien is still locked in the medical room, and then picks up an axe for protection. David soon alerts that the Engineer is headed her way, and a few seconds later it does. No build up. There isn't even much of a struggle as Shaw quickly opens the door to let her alien offspring out so it can kick the Engineer's ass.
The extended cut below is much better in my opinion as it actually creates tension and it kind of helps explain how Shaw is able to be so feisty after recently giving birth to an octopus. Check it out.

PROMETHEUS Easter Egg Ties The Movie To BLADE RUNNER
Is Ridley Scott planning on a crossover between his other classic Sci-fi movie and the universe featured in Alien? It seems possible given the following Easter Egg from the U.K. steelbook release of Prometheus..
Mark "RorMachine" Cassidy - 10/6/2012
The following is a memo from Peter Weyland (Guy Pearce) in which he talks about his "mentor and long-departed competitor". No names are mentioned, but it's pretty obvious to any fan of Ridley Scott's Blade Runner that he talking about Eldon Tyrell, head of the Tyrell corporation, who were responsible for creating the Replicant's minds and memories..

Ridley Scott Explains Why There's No Extended Cut Of PROMETHEUS
That have been a blurry point since Scott announced extra scenes on the Blu-Ray and a possible longer cut. Charles De Lauzirika, who worked on the special features, now confirms via COLLIDER that Scott refused to do an Extend Cut, considering the theatrical version as his director's cut.
Additonaly, John Spaiths, the orignal writer of the script reveals how the medpod scene, David's behaviour, Shaw getting implanted, Holloway getting infected, and ending turned out.
Quotes from the interview:
I did have facehuggers in my original draft. David, as he began to get fascinated by the science of the Engineers, doesn’t deliberately contaminate Holloway with a drop of black liquid. Instead, Holloway hubristically removes his helmet in the chamber, is knocked unconscious, facehugged and wakes up not knowing what had been done to him, and stumbles back into the ship. In my draft, he returns to his cabin, is embraced by Shaw, who is delighted to see him having feared that he had died, and the two of them make love. And it’s while they’re making love that he bursts and dies. So that lovemaking sequence echoed my original lovemaking sequence where he explodes! It was messy.
Subsequently, David, fascinated by these creatures, begins delaying the mission and going off the reservation on his own, essentially because he thinks he really belongs with the Engineers. They’re smart enough and sophisticated enough, great enough, to be his peers. He’s harboring a deep-seated contempt for his human makers. So at one point Shaw goes to stop him and David ties her up and deliberately exposes her to a facehugger. He caresses an egg open and out comes a facehugger. David doesn’t smell like a person – his breath isn’t moist – so he can handle the thing like a kitten. It doesn’t want him; it’s not interested. But then he exposes it to her and it goes for her like a shot. He toys with her for a bit and then lets it take her. That, in my draft, was how Shaw was implanted with the parasite that she had to remove with the medpod sequence.
I left the two of them on the surface of that planetoid. It was plain that David and Shaw were going to have to work together and deal with one another if they were to survive. That one shot of the ship taking off in the finished film really focuses you on a particular outcome, whereas my ending was much more open as to what was going to happen next. But it was very much about this shattered android and this scarred woman being left with no-one but each other to carry on with.
Plus he talks about what his plans were for the trilogy, including grander Engineers! He says his trilogy:
would have involved the arrival of the Yutani Company and a couple of other major plays around the Engineers themselves: the revelation of an additional grand Engineer design, and the possibility of seeking an Engineer homeworld.
As for know, we don't know where Scott is heading for the sequel. However he stated he'd like to take Shaw and David to the Engineers' planet, which might be paradise, an extremly sinister and ominous paradise.
As for the Extended Cut, I guess it's a big relief for all the ones who bought the Blu-Ray while having all those scenes integrated in the movie would have been much more exciting.

Ridley Scott Updates On PROMETHEUS and BLADE RUNNER Sequels
Prometheus was a box office hit this summer. Its global gross is $402 million, and with Blu-ray and DVD sale, it will make some more money. So, it's no secret that studio wants a sequel, which is now happening for sure. Talking to Metro, director Ridley Scott gave an update on what we will see in the next chapter:
"Prometheus evolved into a whole other universe. You’ve got a person [Noomi Rapace’s Elizabeth Shaw] with a head in a bag [ Michael Fassbender’s David] that functions and has an IQ of 350. It can explain to her how to put the head back on the body and she’s gonna think about that long and hard because, once the head is back on his body, he’s dangerous. They’re going off to paradise but it could be the most savage, horrible place. Who are the Engineers?"
Scott also addressed his involvement with the upcoming Blade Runner sequel:
"It’s not a rumour – it’s happening. With Harrison Ford? I don’t know yet. Is he too old? Well, he was a Nexus-6 so we don’t know how long he can live [laughs]. And that’s all I’m going to say at this stage."
Interesting. Very interesting. I'm down for Prometheus sequel, as I really liked the first film. With Blade Runner, I'm definitely optimistic about the new film, as long as Scott is directing.

Jon Spaihts' Original PROMETHEUS Screenplay (ALIEN: ENGINEERS) Now Available To Read Online
Prometheus definitely seems to be one of those films that people either love or hate, but even those who praise the (sort-of) Alien prequel - you can read my own 5* review by clicking HERE - can't deny that there were a few slightly frustrating plot holes. Many of these were answered by the deleted scenes contained within the DVD and Blu-ray releases, while the others will surely be answered in the highly anticipated sequel. However, if you're interested in finding out what might have been if Ridley Scott had decided to move ahead with Jon Spaihts' screenplay, then you will most definitely want to have a read of this! Oh, and for those of you who doubt its authenticity, Spaihts himself has verified its authenticity as you can see from the Tweet at the bottom of this article. Simply click on the image below to read Alien: Engineers.

Damon Lindelof's Early Version of the PROMETHEUS Script Surfaces Online
Ridley Scott's Prometheus was penned by two screenwriters, Jon Spaihts and Damon Lindelof. And while the former's version of the script, titled Alien: Engineers, has made its way online a few days ago (you can find it here), Steven Weintraub of Collider has recently published Damon Lindelof's Paradise script to the web, with the writer himself verifying the authenticity of the script via his Twitter account. Although it admittedly doesn't differ much from the final version of Lindelof's script that became Prometheus, it sure is still worth checking out. With a thanks to the Prometheus Movie Forum for the heads-up, click below to read the script for yourself...
