  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Prometheus...

PROMETHEUS looks friggin' awesome!

What film stock did they use? heh heh heh

I find it interesting that there is so much CG vs Set discussion going on in this thread because today our subject of discussion was on how people still hold up Aliens as an example of the power of miniatures... but that Prometheuses' CG ships are so phenomenal that they're almost like the counter point to the miniature work in Ridley Scott's previous work.



Also I wonder how much of this set was practical. :)

Quite a bit, from the looks of it.

Does anyone know if Giger worked on this film?

I've been fortunate enough to see a lot of stills from set. They've really taken the influences from Giger and Beksinski to really flesh out the sets. Gorgeous work.
 
One thing is for sure... the 2012 film yield will not disappoint us. :-)
 
Hmm, the cast in Prometheus looks annoyingly pretty, like all of them, it's okay with a babe or two, or a handsome man, but like all of them... In Alien, we got real people - the girl running at 00:36 in the trailer... makes it look a little bit B and trashy... I guess this have nothing to do with the creative team (or their dicks), but more to do with the fact that the studio knows they earn more money (or atleast they think they do) with a pretty cast... Just as they know they earn more with a PG-13 rating... Anyways, I find real people in pressured situations more easy to connect with, than dolls in similar situations. Just a thought.


Besides this small annoyance, the film looks very interesting, and Alien being one of my favorite films, this will be a hard wait... :)

That's hardly relevant.

The only thing that matters is whether their acting carries through or not. Sure, it can be a bit jarring at first to see a "prettied up" cast, but eventually it settles if their acting is good and it serves the story. Now, if it doesn't, then it becomes a whole 'nother story (literally).

I have faith that Prometheus will deliver. :-)
 
Anyone else notice that is the SAME Derelict spaceship in the original... the one that had the Giant alien with his guts blown out sitting in what looked like a huge gun - HR Giger did the original production artwork... I got freaking goosebumps... and then to remember - oh yeah this was shot on RED EPIC... pure awesomeness

hmmmmm...

hmmmmm...

A little to drunk after St. Paddy's day to intelligently respond, but the full trailer scares me slightly, love the rawness of the originals.

Will comment when I am more sober tommorrow.

Will still absolutley see it no matter what... just got a few strange vibes off that latest trailer.
 
I'm so looking forward to this! Little would I know as a boy watching the original Alien, I would be fortunate enough to own the same cameras used by this master storyteller. Now watching this trailer, major goosebumps from both the trailer and the previous thought. These are great times to be a filmmaker!
