Prometheus

[JamesC]

I prefer knob-jockey. Fits with the Giger sensibility more.

And they could rename the Power Loader the Shirt Lifter.

Well, Prometheus is still a good few months away yet, but Ridleys already thinking ahead.....?

Some Blade Runner titbits in there as well.

He ain't gonna go all 'George Lucas' on us is he and start f##kin with the greatness.

Hasn't he already done that with the endless revisions of Blade Runner?

[bigjobs67]

Not really (IMO). I got the two disc special edition on blue ray and it is incredible. An already amazing film made even more amazing'er. Subtle and loving tweaks and enhancements to FX shots. Its truly a thing of beauty. Plus a top 'Making of' doc to boot.

The difference is that Ridley Scott has gone back and made a brilliant film even better, while Lucas with his incessant fuck-twiddling has taken a once great film and taken a huge CGI dump all over it!

Couldn't agree more. LUCAS! STEP AWAY FROM THE FRANCHISE. NOW!!! (big beardy 'Bread Head').

I really don't think anyone would care what Georgie-boy does with SW as long as he allowed the originals to be released in the best available format for viewing and leave it at that. At least Ridley Scott gave us everything in a pretty comprehensive archive for everyone to appreciate.

I think this film is safer than most when it comes to prequels.  For one thing the continuity is pretty loose in all the other related films.  Five Aliens, Three Predators and two AVPs that all roughly fit together.  Varying quality and if you pick the best parts out you get a really good far reaching plot.

This film will try to add to that.  It isn't Alien or Predator, they have stated this fairly clearly.  It is just 'of' Alien & Predator.

Really looking forward to it.

Funny story:

In a pub, with friends, we all started talking about the movies that are out this year. Prometheus comes up in discussion, and a few friends start saying 'Ahh, but it doesn't LOOK like Alien' and 'but there's no sodding ALIENS in it!' and even 'I don't want to watch it unless Ripley's in it'.

My reaction was to BANG my fist on the tabletop, with sufficient force to disturb the beer in our glasses, and shout at them 'OH, FOR F*** SAKE! PUT YOUR BLOODY KNICKERS ON! IT'S GONNA BE AWESOME! IT WILL BE AWESOME! AND YOU'LL ALL WATCH IT ANYWAY! "

It seemed to do the trick.

I like ur Dan Dare Dredd.

All this talk about Blade Runner and Prometheus sequels, and not a peep about his plans for finally getting around to The Forever War. feh.

Had a 'This isn't an A;lien Prequel' conversation with two of my mates when in the car off for a walk in the country... One of them couldn't get his head round 'but if it is set before Alien and in the same place it must be a prequel'.

Hilarious, though in a battle of wits I shouldn't fight a one armed man.  We'll all go see it of course, rude not to.

Well according to a Hungerian website, Guy Pearce's role in Prometheus is finally revealed by Ridley - after much speculation he's not going to be an Space Jockey/Engineer, he's to play Peter Weyland - a entreprenuer who owns the Prometheus ship, also Guy himself said a while ago, that his role in the film amounted to only a minute or so of screen time.... mmm.
There was some storyboards leaked a while ago, depicting a Bill Gates type figure delivering a lecture in front of a huge audience, but these were dimissed as fan fakery, so maybe they wasnt after all?
