We might not be getting the TV spots that included some of this video but here's the marketing piece -




And another one! Oram this time.

Nicely done.

I actually love the found footage from the planet. I wish it could be incorporated into the film (who knows, maybe it is) but I know purists would crucify Ridley for using it.

These are really cringeworthy, IMO. Especially the Billy Crudup one. He seems hostile and he only reads two lines from a script? Sosososososo bad.

I liked them. Cool to see the mounted cameras on their backs were actually recording footage. Would be sweet to see an entire cut composed of all the footage they got on the planet.

Oram is evidently a stilted sort of intellectual unused to a leadership role or to social cues. He's also religious and insecure. I think it makes sense.

I would love that! So much! I have a huge soft spot for found footage films and have often thought about what an Alien found footage fanfilm would be like.

Why would "purists crucify" Scott for using found footage style video when he used it in both Alien and Prometheus?  ???

It makes sense as a scene immediately following e viral where he wanted to make a speech. The piece of paper is the speech. But that doesn't account for Crudup's awful delivery and the brevity of the viral compared to the other one. Both of these are halfassed. Scott is repeating himself so much he ran out of Alien stuff and now he's cribbing from The Martian. It's like the advertising wants me to stay away.

I think the marketing campaign for this has been better than Prometheus. Not that I hated the pre-release material for Prometheus, but it wasn't very exciting.

I'd like to see some of the point of view footage put on the dvd/bluray release of the film.

There's the grainy video links seen sporadically in the first two movies and then there's this, which much more closely resembles the found footage trend we've seen over the last twenty years. I think any substantial use of these in the final film would have people crying "Blair Witch" and bitching up a storm. I love it, though.

That's not the problem. Blair Witch is all found footage. Heavy use of found footage style shots mixed with the very steady shots Ridley is known for ( and that we've seen all over the trailers so far ) would probably not mix well at all. We might get a couple of shots as we did in Alien/Prometheus, but I can't see more than that happening. Visually it would be very distracting.

All of the found footage in Aliens, Alien and Prometheus is used sparingly to illustrate the perspective of the characters at the "base," ie Ash, Gorman, Janek. It's never used as found footage for its own sake.

yeah i liked this gopro-style footage. Reminded me also a bit of Cloverfield, too.

Nice mention of the Blair Witch, i've always imagined how amazing a very tense and suspenseful blair-witch style Alien movie would be.
Not like cloverfield. The above reminded me of it, but honestly, i hated how they executed that.

On the run, hide and battle, underprepared, unarmed, and in the unknown on an abandoned alien space station that has an alien (not neccesarily a xenomorph) aboard, filmed from a gopro-like camera mounted to their suits which they can't take off because the suit contains a system to feed them oxygen through a mouthpiece of sorts would be amazing.

I expect so. I'm fairly sure Franco filmed more footage from promo but we've not seen any more.

Very cool. I hope they don't overuse it (if they us it at all), but the shoulder cam stuff is great.

A part of me kind of hopes they take the shoulder cam footage and make an alternate cut of the film with just that footage as a  Blu-Ray extra.

well, i find it hard to believe that we get shoulder cams so prominently placed and visible in the movie on the (main) characters, and then not getting used at all? hell no. There will be shoulder cam footage in the movie without a doubt.

but i must say, the idea to see the movie solely through shoulder cam footage would be fantastic as en extra

Just wait, it's the retcon of all retcons. The Xeno will actually be heroic now, according to Ridley, just misunderstood.

Yeah she's a bit explicitly Jewish there. I'm not expecting any subtle or meaningful exploration of loss of faith, or faith versus hard unpleasant facts in this movie. Learned my lesson with Prometheus  :laugh:

Is it a good idea to drink alcohol before going into cryosleep? IDK why I'm asking this question, but it popped into my head and I now can't get rid of it.
Title: Re: New Marketing Campaign - Crew Messages
Post by: cliffhanger on Apr 20, 2017, 05:36:57 PM
i don't think it would do much, as if it would matter, it would mean the digestive system is still in operation, or other functions, and one can assume that it'll be more or less on near full-standstill, so it would only mean they wake up with a hangover despite having travelled dozens of years.

which brings me to what tennessee mentions; their destination is on the other side of the galaxy. he mentions his baby brother (probably somewhere between 15yo and 25 y tops), then being old, fat and losing hair, and his brothers kids, so that means his brother must still be A) alive and B)have reproduced lol. also old enough to thus be definately old. so if he's youngest at about 15 years old, that means the travel cant be longer than let's say 50 years old, his brother being 65 then, and having kids, that can be about 20ish perhaps. if we go by that he's at tops 25, then that means it's max 40 years of travel.

after all, babybrother is a cool term for his brohter, but surely not literal; if his brother is a baby now, let's say 1 years old, well,danny mcbride is 40 years old, so his parents should be 60-ish and i have a very solid hard time believing a 60year old mother gave birth recently. not impossible offcourse, but rather an exception, not the norm. so i think babybrother is rather a sentimental statement instead of factual.

so intended journey is between 40 and 50 years i suppose. let's leave it at 45 years of travel.

I'm a little disappointed the non-main actors/resses are only getting short videos but my appetite for a found footage Alien film is increasing.

I did enjoy Tennessee's video though. I had a good chuckle with the horse thing. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in this film.

Oh no. The Blair Witch is without doubt the worst movie I have ever seen at the cinema. And that includes turkeys like Moonwalker and Mission to Mars.

I always remember when the movie finished there were groans and some people actually threw drinks at the screen in anger/disgust!

That's Glasgow for you!
