Thanks to another anonymous reader I’ve now got three new Prometheus set pictures for you feast your eyes on:
This airlock looks a lot like the exterior of the Nostromo airlock and at the top of the piece you can see a logo that looks like a cross between the W-Y logo from Aliens and the bird wings logo of Alien. The other two pictures show the cavern entrance but fully closed, you can see the hieroglyphs on the door and the landing leg from the promotional image. You can see the rest here!
These second set comes from a not-so anonymous reader, C.Reux, who found these location pictures on an Icelandic forum. These pictures show the location that was previously photoed and erroneously reported as shots from the movie. You can view them here.
B and C Deck on the Nostromo are the grubby run down dirty sets. A Deck - not so much. Bits look messy because of the way it's dressed with banks of circuitry and stuff but it's not actually dirty per se.
And as far as ALIEN RESURRECTION is concerned. Yes, it was beautiful to look at, but in comparison to the shitty story that's not saying much. A L I E N succeeded because the sets were so perfect they nearly didn't seem like sets to begin with. What I remember more about the first 3 films is atmosphere and character, the last was all window dressing and no substance. So, in my opinion, that's not really a win.
Fixed, again...
The A Deck sets for Alien were pretty clean.
Thanks for sharing...
I now know where to place you, much as you've placed A:R...
Yeah me too, I also wish people would STOP using A:R as a lame excuse for dissing everything. No it wasn't great from a story perspective, but that movie had some of the finest set pieces and art direction of ALL the Alien/Predator films, and is still a fine example of how films should be made... end of rant!!
If its not too much trouble next weeks lottery numbers would be great. Cheers.
Fixed.
Great Scott!
So delusional.
He SAID he knew where these images CAME FROM!
This guy may be and/or know...DEEP THROAT!!
Even then then the pictures are of recorded footage and don't at all look clean or good. So again, not really in their interest. I think you guys are just grasping for conspiracies where none exists.

Too Generic Hieroglyphs in that door...(i don´t know...maybe it works as a "B Sci-Fi Movie" context).
Too Clean Sets and a Alien Resurrection Feel in some of them.
As for people getting irritated about things in leaked pics? Not any specific examples off the top of my head but if you go to general movie sites I'm sure you'll see some comments. As for the pictures not looking the same as the movie, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that will obviously be the case.
And like I said, I know for a fact these weren't deliberate leaks.
Can you give some examples of where that HAS been the case?
This isn't viral marketing. They can do better than that. Plus, I know where these came from and it wasn't Fox employees so take my word when I say these aren't Fox distributed or some conspiracy to promote the film. Not that you guys will believe me but for those out there that might.
Oh, really? It certainly pricked-up many sites ears (INCLUDING THIS ONE.).
How is this NOT in their interest?
How does it make STUFF worse? (what STUFF?...worse than WHAT?)
I don't understand what you mean.
...and I don't think YOU understand what's being said.
I've never really got the impression Ridley would be a director to rely too heavily on green screen, thankfully he's a film maker that regards CGI as one of the tools of the trade and will use it to augment reality. Obviously Prometheus will probably be his most digitally enhanced film but he's a very artistic director and he doesn't want effects to jar with the gritty reality of what he has shot practically. I can't, off hand, think of any Scott film in which CGI has looked as obvious as in most recent blockbuster films. As to the issue of cost, again Ridley has mentioned that it is no cheaper to use quality CGI than it is to do things practically.
To me it one of the big selling points of Prometheus, that it is an epic film, made in the tradition of classics, but with the advantage of digital enhancements under the guidance of a director who is a genuine artist. I agree with Cameron's point that it's about time Scott got back to Sci-Fi where he can really spread his wings creatively. That Scott is doing it from a 'practical' starting point is wonderful IMHO.
...YUP!!
Anyway....
PROMETHEUS TRAILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hurry the F*ck Up!!!!!
Has this all been brought up because people are worried that Prometheus will use green screen?
What sold Yoda was Mark Hamill, even Lucas himself said "It wouldn't matter how good it looked on screen if the actor didn't make you believe it"
Totally agree with this! Wether or not an actor buys into what they are paid to do is not the point, if they can't sell what the audience is meant to see they shouldn't be in the game at all, some things should just come naturally. By the same token, any good actor would make light work of a bad script, something all the Star Wars prequels were guilty of in my opinion. A fine example of this would be the excellent Scottish stage and screen actor Ian McDiarmid, who practically lifted Lucas's lame writing skills single handed, as opposed to the likes of Hayden Christensen, the 'star' of those films, who isn't neccesarily a bad actor, but who was clearly out of his depth when it came to making the audience believe in something just because he couldn't see it.
