Time for a bit of a round-up of small bits of recent Prometheus news!
- First up we have confirmation that NECA have acquired the license to produce figures based on Prometheus. This was revealed in a recent Twitter update.
- It’s looking like Fox will be doing some viral advertising for Prometheus as well. This knowledge came about after a music artist revealed one of her tracks would be in a short viral film. The artist, Elizabeth Walling, also spoke about it briefly in a recent interview.
- Ridley Scott has also revealed he is already thinking of ideas for Prometheus 2: “I just thought Prometheus was so enjoyable — returning to the world of science fiction was so fun — that I wanted to [go back to Blade Runner, too]. I’m also thinking about what the hell I might do for a Prometheus 2.”
Thanks to Ikarop and Darkoo for the links.
Cronenberg is amazing man.
Anyway that CGI must be marvellous.
As for Cronenberg: puh-leez. One of the most overrated filmmakers working today--he'd be lucky to even approach a film as great as ALIEN.
Fact: David Lynch doesn't like Alien because he felt the chest-burster design ripped off his Eraserhead baby.
Fact: David Cronenberg doesn't like Alien because he felt the parasite in your body, moving under your skin ripped off his film Shiver.
FACT
'Alien' as directed by David Lynch?
Sorry, got a serious 'Twin Peaks'-vibe from that...
...wait...'Alien' directed by David Lynch...
I'd be SO over THAT!
A sequel sounds good but the first film should be critically well received as well as have a nice box office hit before they talk about sequels, otherwise they are jumping into something with both feet.
As for the connection to alien, i am not sure but i think i have seen urn like objects in one of the pictures and in the original concept, the second stage xenomorph was in a urn not an egg.
Oh dear. No. That's silly.
and she will be woken from cryo before the rest of the crew from the Nostromo and the giant comes in and explains her of whats going to happen and he replaces her with an android Ripley and the android plays the part in the rest of the alien movies and the real Ripley is taken to a better place with the jockeys.
And there she will face new adventures in the alien franchise world on another planet,
and even there can be a spin off were she observes the things that happen on the Predators planet and she will then save Adrian brody and the girl from the planet so there is enough material for a sequel.
Rumour Control: Here are the facts.
It is a story set in the Universe of the Alien franchise before the events of the the 1979 movie Alien.
The reason they are saying "is it/isn't it" a prequel is because the film isn't going to end on LV426 with a bunch of eggs in the derelict. They keep mentioning this last 8 minutes thing. But surely, by that logic it would mean everything we've seen in the promotional footage happens in the last 8 minutes, because all that stuff is from Alien.
I really don't know what they expect us to expect by the term prequel. I'm guessing they think that we think we'll be seeing Ripley being born. I DO NOT WANT THEM TO GO NEAR STUFF LIKE THAT. That will be the killer for the movie.
i am!
stating that prometheus is a prequel because of the space jockey & the derelict is some kind of not right.
it's like considering every movie with people on a plane as a new "turbulence" sequel/prequel shit. even snakes on a plane.
i am certain that it will be part of the whole franchise somehow, but it's own story seems so strong that they rather did a prometheus instead of an alien 5, people.
It's fine, I know you didn't mean any harm. You have your points, but I don't think some of the Galaxy is ready for it, now.
Thanks Nightmare, that's all I'm saying; that we just can't be 100% sure yet. It'll be great if it's an Alien Prequel, but I just don't think we have enough information to be that kind of certain.
Where's ThisBethesdaSea ? his knowledge of prometheus is excellent, he will tell you the argument for and against, plus his personal view, if he's around pm and ask him guys, he's always willing to share his knowledge with us all.
Personally, I think that it will be directly related, but until we actually see the movie, there is no way to be 100% sure.
Good to see PredXeno around haven't seen you in a while.
