Tom Rothman is the guy who made matthew vaughn leave xmen the last stand due to creative differences. vaughn wanted to include the sentinels and have a much darker deeper script about mutant persecution and the ethics of a cure and a different script. Rothman then decided to hire Brett Ratner as he was more concerned with the deadline and film release with a smaller budget, to make the money, what we ended up with was a mess of a script and a badly done film (jackman etc were fine acting ). Then we had live free or die hard (diehard 4.0) which rothman insisted be cut to a pg-13 for theatrical release, to make more profit, it was later released uncut for dvd release. the film had a mixed reception from fans and critics. A v P in 2004
he insisted was a pg-13 (uncut for dvd with cg blood)then we had A V P R and we know how it virtually buried the franchise. Now we have prometheus, the leaked trailer looks amazing especially the jockey ship is so epic in scale, all i'm saying is be cautious with Tom Rothman he seems to be more about the money than caring about the franchise by allowing subpar films to be made. That's part of the reason why i'm being very careful not to be over enthusiastic about prometheus, and believe me i'm a die hard alien fan , have all the boxset collections, novels (loved steel egg and original sin was good and omnibus comics theories of the space jockeys) the games a v p2 on the pc and a v p 2010 console game. I just don't really much enthusiam for Tom Rothman or Fox at the moment. i just hope prometheus delivers.
