Forum member Michael Harper has just sent us a new set of scans from the latest issue of Empire Magazine which features a 18-page article on Prometheus. The article includes several new pictures, character descriptions and interviews. There’s also a mention to what the next piece of marketing will be like. A very interesting read. Check out the scans by clicking the image below.
Thanks again to Michael Harper for these fantastic images.
FWIW, there's an excellent science fiction book which deals with the invention of a wormhole camera, that let's you see anything in any place and any time. At the end they look back into the early Earth's history and find another inteliigent species that was wiped out in an impact event.
I can't remember the title. I believe Arthur C. Clarke co-authored it with a lesser known writer.
I took that to read that the space suit design (and it does have a Giger quality) will indeed turn out to be the physical template for the xeno i.e. fused human/space suit and jockey = xeno???
The viral material states that Weyland is attempting to create robots that are indistinguishable from humans, and surely one of the requirements of this would be creating robots that can portray human emotions so convincingly that no one would be able to tell the difference. The question is then: do they actually feel offended, or do they just act on programming that tells them that they should feel offended.
The truth is that there is no way to tell what a person/robot is feeling based on their actions and/or body language.
This: - portrays embarrassment, but only a complete idiot would suggest that a 15x15 GIF image actually felt embarrassed. Now imagine that you asked a computer program how it was feeling and it posted this: - your immediate emotional reaction would be 'holy shit, the program is sad!', and you would have a hard time shaking that idea, even if the program in question just posted a random emoticon each time you asked it a question.
Fight for robots rights, before they do.
fear the space-tapir!
Feeling emotions such as depression and anger at how he is being treated, especially since he's watched over these people as they were in stasis for two years whilst he pottered about the ship with probably not much to do, I could see that.
Also we have no idea why Vickers is getting physical with him in that scene. For all we know she's got mad at him for selling the humans up the river. Or not.
That was the biggest problem I had with 'The Animatrix' when it came out. Why would anyone programme manual labour devices with the capability to feel depressed and angry at being used?
However, that doesn't have any bearing on what the film will reveal at this point.
One has to be careful not to confuse the journalist's narration and direct quotes. Seemed more like the reporter's personal supposition to me.
See above. Just supposition. I suspect two things will eventually be true:
1: It won't really turn out to contradict two certain movies in any really meaningful way. At best, it simply won't reference them.
2: 'Prometheus' will turn out to have at least one minor plot point which seems not to fit into known canon, rendering it a bit awkward when trying to reconcile it to the originals.
bit of both. they let them trash the AvP movies openly and the article mentions the story does indeed invalidate AvP. i say it's safe to asume only what the movie says counts.
Thanks for the info.
No it can't. It stays on the iPad, unless it's jailbroken (i.e. hacked) When you have the Empire app (that you sync to your iPad with iTunes and back), it doesn't have the magazine in it, you have to download it separately within the app, and it saves onto a location in your iPad that only the app can access, and everything else (iTunes etc.) can't/ So you can't just copy the magazine from the iPad. But when you jailbreak it, you can browse thorugh you iPad's files and find the magazine files, and copy them over. Hope that makes sense.
But can't this additional file be moved or copyed to another media or storage device?
Plus I've always felt, since there's been this emphasis on the "final 8 minutes" or whatever, that they simply wouldn't be able to resist a Xeno moment. I know Prometheus is a very different film to a direct "prequel", but I've always felt the introduction of the Xeno, with its iconic status, is simply too powerful an image to overlook.
I can;t do that because my iPad isn't jailbroken :L The magazine itself is stored separately from the app, like an add-on download, which is stored on the iPad itself, not on iTunes
That way I could rip all the original images from it.
I think it takes place 33 or 35 years before Alien...

Awesome, cheers.

Take that, Lucas!
- At this point I'm certain the characters and the dynamic between them is going to be great.
- I'm loving everything I'm reading and seeing in relation to the visuals and sets.
- I hope we get news of the rating soon so we can stop playing guessing games and, obviously, it better be R.
- I don't know how I feel about the giant human-like creatures being the engineers. I guess I wanted something more Giger.
- It seems that mutation and those giant guys are going to form a large part of the horror in the story.
- I have faith in Ridley Scott. It's the Damon Lindelof contribution to this film that worries me.
Probably traces back to the anthology box set, more than likely where they sourced it, blame those multimedia designers.
No fecking love for the source of the timeline, though.
Again...
I've been waiting for more pics .
What a great day that would be.
I don't think it's Fassbender either, but I do think this person is his double.
Haha agreed!
I didn't even notice that line in all this information overload.
Thanx again Michael & Ikarop
Awesome tagline.

In space, no one can hear you-- oh... well, nevermind then.
That might be the scene in which he's walking around the ship waking up the crew.
That's very true. Overlooked Weyland's accent for a moment.
Hehe... "C'mon... pull my finger..."
I think that's David observing the cryo tubes with the crew still inside them. Shaws cryo tube has a display that reads 'active visor link' or something like it. My guess anyway...
Weyland transfers his consciousness/mind/essence or whatever you want to call it into either David or Vickers? Could this be what happens in the scene where David is wearing the yellow visor?
Just avrandom thought - don't flame me peeps! Lol
I loved his performance as Ian Curtis in 24 Hour Party People...
I really like how the article doesn't delve to much about the plot, but I'm very satisfied with all the stills and brief character looks.
