Ridley Scott's Prometheus gets a trailer

Clicked thread thinking this was going to be a mythological epic. *watches trailer* Scifi... Not interested. th3warr1or

Great trailer, but what's next, a Predator prequel? :P

The trailer does give off a similar vibe to the first half of Alien, so it does look promising. As much as I love Alien, hopefully this one won't turn into a monster slasher where the crew get taken out one by one. It probably will.

Have people actually ever watched the Previous Alien (Namely the first two) films and noticed alot of the violence happened off-screen?

That guy is f***ing huge.

Ridley Scott's movies never ever lacked technical marvel - his entire career was practically dedicated to pushing the boundary of production quality. but sadly, he hasn't been all that impressive on the originality front.

i don't know.... . this film... looks like yet another of those.

I want another horror film. Alien is easily the best of the current quadrilogy, and arguably one of the greatest cross-genre films of all time.

What? are you guys serious? it looks just as one of those cliche space movies where the black guy dies first. Seriously why are people hyping this?Solid_Tango

:lol: FYI though... iirc white guys always died first in previous Alien-related films.

but yea... i kinda agree. Scott seemed to have reached his artistic peak back in Blade Runner, which was hands down ground breaking in every way. since then, he had more misses than hits. :( i thought Matchstick Man was the only impressive film he made in the past decade or so.

Why are people hyping Ridley Scott's (Blade Runner, Alien) return to sci-fi with an 'Alien-like' action-horror/thriller with a casting including Noomi Rapace, Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender, Patrick Wilson, Idris Elba anf Guy Pearce? I can only assume you are not serious or clueless.

as much as i love Gladiator... it's really just one of those blockbuster epicss heavy on production values but with little to no soul. he made a ton of those films in the same vein before and after that - 1492, Black Hawk Down, Kingdom of Heaven, etc.

Scott has made films in popular genres with better cast and still failed to deliver. case in point - Robin Hood.

It looked pretty cool, I'll check it out. But is it really a prequel Alien or this a seperate film and universe?

What appears cliche about it?

[QUOTE="CycleOfViolence"]

[QUOTE="PandaTrueno86"]

They're filming a PG-13 and an R rated version and Fox will decide where to go from there.

SaintLeonidas

Gotcha. So even if it is released in theaters at PG-13, then there is hope for a Directors Cut edition on DVD.

wouldn't call it "not artistic" - that's a pretty subjective word afterall. it entertains at all the right parts, as any epic should. but i felt it falls short on creating a human drama with relatable characters and situations. it's really just a vehicle for setpieces - although they are undeniably very well done.

Looks interesting at least, never thought a prequel to one of my fav horror sci-fi films would get made.

Rewatched 'Alien' tonight, realized that the circular "craft" in which they find the eggs in 'Alien' is the same one in the 'Prometheus' trailer being shot down and rolling towards Theron and Rapace. It is also where the Space Jockey was. So it makes me wonder if what they find in 'Prometheus' is then reported back to earth and then the crew in 'Alien' is unknowingly sent to bring back what was found.

Gladiator? Man thats a harsh comment. Think its one of the best movies of last decade.

For this prequel reboot, there's no real point, but if anyone can do Alien, its Ridley Scott.

Yeah, I fear it will be just a cliché, action packed, non-intelligent blockbuster. Not that there's anything wrong with it, because they can be fun too. But those space jockeys are perfect ingredients for a moody sci-fi film full of weirdness and wonder, rather than guns and explosions. Fingers crossed!

I'm still hoping that someday, Arthur C. Clarke's Odyssey quadrilogy will be completed on film. I loved 2001 and 2010 and I really hope that 2061 and 3001 will see the light of day eventually. I love films that make you think and wonder.

this will be the only horror movie i have ever been hyped for since Alien Vs Predator tho that didnt turn out as good as i thought.

the trailer is just exactly like alien trailer, so i think is gonna be good.

I wonder what's the role of the giant UFO:

It's not the Space Jockey ship. Some people speculate this is the "beginning of time" scene where the aliens bring life to Earth. I hope it's more than that.

are they seriously doing the inception trumpet thing in the trailer? man thats so old and annoying

It was in District 9 and Transformers before. I'm sure older movies use it too.

For a moment I thought they're different but then I realised the left "arm" of the first pic is the right one below.

Now I'm confused by the lack of smoke in the third image:|

And what's up with the UFO I posted above?

Goddammit Ridley!

A lot of hype surrounding this one. Here it is.

Thoughts?

It would be awesome if Cameron directed the sequel/spinoff to the prequel and did the same badass action film.

I read and it kind of looks to me like 2001/2010 combines with Alien and something more sinister possibly like Event Horizon or something but on the planet. Looks like something I would pay to see at the theater in 3D.

This will look amazing in 3D. Not sure why people are so against the idea. -Tish-
