Update 10/03/2012: Yahoo UK will be holding their own event on March 17 as well. You can submit your questions for their Q&A with Charlize Theron and Michael Fassbender here.
This would lend a huge amount of credibility to a "leak" from months and months ago which said;
"I have witnessed foam cut outs of unmistakable aliens all cut in half lengh ways so they could be in the floor walls etc and very much from the original film."
Can't remember what else was said in that particular leak, I'm sure it's in the timeline sticky thread under a spolier tag...
Prometheus exclusive hotline, lol.
I suddenly feel very strange about posting how stupid it would be for the jockey to be stalking the crew in the ship like a horror film months ago...
If you only knew how much I HATE you at this moment...
YEEESSSSSS.
Just got an email from AMC inviting me to the screening...again... so it looks like there are more seats left!
That or he is just a c**t. Probably both from the sound of things. Or a recovering coke head. Or just another asshole with a monster ego and a dexedrine script.
You had me at 'Hey'.

from what you're saying, i guess rothman is a cocaine-addict.
I can't see Fox treating Ridley Scott the same way, I can see them giving him a bit more freedom over his vision and doing the edits later. Though, with how his last few movies have performed at the box office, maybe they will have him under more restraints.
"Hey, so I've got an extra pass to go see Ridley Scott give a Q&A and unveil the new ALIEN prequel trailer. Wanna go and, like, make out?" Bwahaha.
Groovy! Have fun.
You know the drill. We want a full report.
AH naaah its cool. I was just joking anyway. I had assumed you already had a friend going of course!
ME
Make it count!
But don't forget this will mess with the shutter speed on automatic cameras, so better crank it up a bit.
i want to watch the q and a. The trailer can wait
I just think that in American Gangster they tried to create this illusion of depth for a mainstream audience. On one hand he's a dealer and on the other he's good to his mother. oooooooohhhhhhhhh such depth.
I think it's an ok movie, but it could be much much better.
what a pitty.
any chance someone could record it?

american gangster didn't hit the height? i can understand when people don't like body of lies that much, (but for me it's a solid agent-flick) but comparing it with american gangster and than saying it has the same flaws?
you know what been scraping the surface? if ridley decided to do a italian-mafia-flick instead of what we have now.
blasphemy.
There's a lot that can go potentially belly up with this movie. I just read a critique of Body Of Lies (which was on tv during the week) in the paper and it mentioned how you'd expect it to be good with heavy weights like Russell Crowe and DiCaprio in it, yet "The director here churns out a disappointingly hackneyed espionage thrill" with a miscast DiCaprio. And I think that's a fair point. American Gangster was similar in that it didn't hit the height it could of because Ridley just sort of scraped the surface with the character depth.
So I think I need to try and perhaps be careful with Prometheus expectations. I mean I'm not expecting an amazing movie. I'm hoping for a good one and perhaps a wonderful surprise if it turns out to be amazing. The best hope that we have for it is Ridley's enthusiasm in that he had a great time making it. Hopefully Science Fiction is STILL his true calling.
The fact is, FOX can do whatever they want with this film, it's their franchise and they are paying for it, or why would there even be a debate about this PG-13 rating in the first place, Scott being allowed to make his own version for DVD says it all! The only thing Rothman is interested in is putting bums on seats, it's also worth mentioning he's messed with Scott before, but he sees things from a financial point of view. Understandable, since the studio have reportedly spent over $100 million on this film and they need a good return, but at the end of the day, what may ruin it for fans like us matters little when it comes to selling Prometheus to the masses, and if Rothman has to make sweeping changes to achieve that, he'll do it.
Tone wise I think The Dark Knight and Inception are for adults. They don't have swearing and graphic violence but they are still decent. The Dark Knight has some problems with it's story telling I think but I'm talking about TONE and it gets that right.
So PG13/ 12's/15's or not, Ridley will hopefully get the tone down, that will be half the work done.
Thankyou clarifying that with me
I think ThisBethesdaSea meant that the rating (e.g. PG-13) is determined in editing / post-production. There is no way that studio execs would be marching around Ridley's sets, during production, demanding he physically change something...except in the scenario where that "something" had a negative impact on the budget.
unfortunately, if they think they can make more money with a PG-13 theatrical release and an R-rated directors cut for the DVD instead of R-rated theatrical release AND dvd, yes, they have done it or have demanded things done in post-production like that
