Title: Prometheus - Alien Prequel coming out in 2012
Post by: vcoleiro1 on September 06, 2011, 08:44:53 am
A new Alien Prequel film is due for release next year called Prometheus.  It's a bit hazy what exactly it will be about, however, I have heard it is meant to explore the nature and origin of the unknown extraterrestrial race, who only had a brief appearance in the first Alien as the derelict spaceship's pilot.

I enjoy seeing universes fleshed out like this. I hope it doesn't suck too much.

Alien deleted scene: Alien Transmission - good quality (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_VnoLyrfdY#)

interesting little deleted scene.

What a stupid-ass gorefest those were.

Apparently the original idea was to make it a prequel, but it sounds like more of a sequel in this article (http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/filmblog/2011/jan/27/ridley-scott-prometheus-prequel-alien):

I actually feel the opposite. When I originally heard it was about the events leading up to the abandoned ship and the dead giant thing they found in the original movie I couldn't wait. Such a cool premise to find out about a mysterious part of a great old movie. Was he the pilot? Was he just sending the message? Was he manning a telescope? Did he die during a last ditch attempt at defending his ship with a mounted gun before an alien baby burst from his chest?

That whole setup was intriguing to me, there were 10 directions it could have gone and each one still would have been cool.

Now they're talking about it not having much to do with that story and even throwing in the dreaded word "reboot". I think the only reason I'm hopeful at all is because Ridley Scott is affiliated with it.

When I first read that, I assumed he was just an executive producer or some BS like that. But I've done some googling and it appears that he is actually directing it. The cast looks pretty damn good as well. After some initial cynicism, I'm beginning to get quite excited about this film.

I was just saying to myself yesterday, I wish another Aliens came out, although each one they make seems to be not as good as ALIENS (2) was when they brought in the Marines.

Personally, I think the original film remains by far the best in the series. Aliens was fun but (and maybe this is a sign of my age) it just seemed a little juvenile compared to the first film.

Yes, so many people say 2 and 4 are their favourites. But mine are 1 and 3. I only saw the other 3 movies about 2 years ago. 4 was just silly...
