You can expect a lot of stuff coming out of Twitter for Prometheus. London based visual effects artist Daniel Sidi posted this on his Twitter:
“I spotted some sets and props being built for #Prometheus at Pinewood Studios. Looking good, very old-school sci-fi. Sorry, no photos ;o)”
When asked to elaborate, he said: “hard to be too descriptive, but the phrases ‘giger’, ‘corridors’, ‘intersecting tunnels’ and ‘organic forms’ spring to mind.” Thanks to JayDee and Daz for the tips.
And while we're at it...ALIEN is the only film of the series where the actors sold me on the shear terror of running into a foreign organism. I hope that Ridley can recapture that as well. It's very rare that I buy actors being 'scared' on screen.
The 'running from point A to point B worked brilliantly in ALIEN & Aliens, and by the time Alien Resurrection rolled around, it was like every plot device and/or element from the first 2 films was reused to try and construct another film. Obviously it worked well...heheheh [ALIEN3 I have always thought to be a masterwork, with a couple of glaring issues, namely, the awful blue screen work]
No more Aliens running loose in spaceships...nope, no thanks...tired. I would much rather this new crew get lost in the catacombs of the Derelict, something COMPLETELY different, stumbling upon a Space Jockey version of the alien creature, and a pursuit start from there.
My only hope for Prometheus is that it recaptures the tone of ALIEN...somber, serious, hollow, empty, alone. ALIEN3 did a good job of that, if not ultimately tragic [which is why i love the film].
Dude, he is saying that he merely doesn't want a rehash of the first Alien film. I'm sure what he wants, as do I, is a science fiction masterpiece that is on par with the creativity, brilliance, atmosphere, and pacing of the first film.
How does it follow that because someone likes the first film they want another film exactly like it? Failed logic.
Well, at least it made TWO guys impotent....
Still reckon my tagline for AvPR should've been used; So HARDCORE you'll go IMPOTENT, or your money back!
Let's hope so
I know, and I love it

Urgh, I hate when Tweets with a lot of info get all confusing like that. What does 'I'm telling' mean? And what is her cousin researching?
