What is internal integrity?

It stands up to scrutiny and it makes sense. The narrative makes sense. I'm not saying it was perfect - as I've said before, it was rough. And the film did David far better - but it wasn't a mess. Which is my problem with Prometheus. It was a complete narrative mess.

And I agree. I just enjoy playing the Devil's Advocate. I just think, Lindelof-era Prometheus did have much more implied, than Spaihts. On their own they both add and subtract their faults. Lindelof's faults tended to be obvious with character goofiness that should have been caught in editing. Spaihts had goofiness from the problems with sudden and falling action and scenes that were absolutely bonkers, a lot of it felt unbelievable, with in my opinion, too much fan service. The general fault is that everything feels unbelievable, which is not the direction anyone should have gone if you're trying to sell the Space Jockeys were actually men. That said, it still has subtlties I think complimented it better with Lindelof than with Spaihts, which ultimately saved it for me, so long as the theatrical cut isn't what I'm watching. Key word for Prometheus would be disorganized, the entire production really.

Here's what I've got for the approval. Trying to find the info about his duration on location for Prometheus.


QuoteH.R. Giger had a little involvement in production. Ridley Scott said he worked on the movie for 11 months just creating some murals for the first chamber the characters come across. On the Prometheus Blu-Ray, Giger was seen meeting with Ridley Scott and he did some sketches of the creatures. Scott said some of his ideas were interesting but he didn't enough time to pursue them. No mention of Giger creating the murals was mentioned in the Blu-Ray features.

So he did actually come to Shepperton. I must have mis-remembered that. Definitely didn't misremember the approval stuff though.

So I've been listening to this podcast with Charles http://geeknation.com/podcasts/killer-pov-ep-95-crave-aliens-and-some-david-lynch/ and he mentions that Giger was only on set at Prometheus for a day.  :-\ I'm just going to check over my messages with Charles to see and if I can't find anything I'll just ask him.

Did you do an podcast with a novel writer who said Fox were thinking of retconning A3 and AR?

I presume you mean James A. Moore, author of Sea of Sorrows. He was initially told to ignore the third and fourth films, but then the studio changed their mind and he had to alter his book accordingly. The end result includes specific references to the later films.

As HuDa says.

Cool I suppose Im just trying to figure out what ol Blomkamp's possibilities are. Personally hoping for it not to retcon 3 and 4.

Corporal Hicks

I think that's a pretty unlikely road at the moment.

So if it's not retcon, it's just going to split off in an alternate timeline?

Unlikely in that it's a retcon or unlikely that it's not a retcon? You'll have to forgive me being easily confused.

What If We Could Control The Aliens?

Artist Marek Okon recently had an idea: what if instead of trying to shoot the Aliens, we could control them instead? It's a premise that's actually been explored in the universe's fiction before, but that certainly didn't look as cool as this concept does.

JJ

The idea that an Alien movie needs to steer clear of a Prometheus movie is idiotic.

Unlikely that it will be anything other than an alternate sequel to Aliens.

NickisSmart

Why would it be anything other than an alternate sequel to Aliens? And how do you tell the difference between that and retcon?

Is risky but interesting...  WY finally achieve it... makes me think about this:

The alien coming from a person ihas a brain/mind very diferent from an animal like a dog/cow, a more suseptible brain controlled type.
