ALIEN / PROMETHEUS / COVENANT / ROMULUS - SPOILERS INBOUND!!

I think Prometheus was a bit better than Avatar, which was for me painful to watch.

But Prometheus was a dumb movie made to make dumb people feel smart, kind of like Inception. Avatar was a dumb movie by design, which I respect more.

I don't think Prometheus is that dumb. It has problems and is chaotic, but it presents some interesting ideas. Avatar is not just meant to be for dumb people, it makes people dumber.

The movie that was released to cinema was the directors cut. They had a PG-13 rating version ready that was replaced by the R-Rating directors cut. Now there is going to be another extended cut release that will be 20 minutes longer and contains 30 minutes of additional bonus material.

Just imagine how average this movie would of been without the abortion scene? (Which was what bumped it up to R-Rating).

yeah it makes no sense to have a sci-fi-horror flick without any real violence. I mean thats what alien is about right? Aliens that kill people in the most brutal way they can get away with.

Very interesting interview on the Empire movie site with original scriptwriter Jon Spaihts about how Prometheus would've turned out if Lindelhof hadn't got his grubby mitts on the project:

Its from the unreleased extended version

this one also:

This opening sequence, with the presence of many Engineers, was cut from the film to further enhance the mystery of our creators. Throughout the film, the filmmakers wished to enable both the Prometheus crew and the audience to experience parallel levels of mystery.

For those who enjoy Prometheus visuals and Autechre, I put together a video with footage from one of the Weyland files (not the movie itself) and soundtracked it with 'corc'. Youtube nuked it within seconds when I attempted to upload it, so you're welcome to grab it here for some localised viewing (it's only around 200 MB filesize) while you can.

I love the idea of Shaw being trapped in the pod while she's being regenerated and the alien tearing it up outside the pod.

Sigh... what could have been...

The blu-ray/dvd release have no behind the scenes stuff on them? All i can see are the viral videos and deleted stuff.

I haven't see anyone mention this yet, but Ridley Scott is now thinking about combining the Blade Runner universe with the Alien universe. HAHHAHAHA!

Apparently so *deflates from sighing so much*

Ridley Scott: BRILLIANT!

*silence*

Yeah people ripped on it when I mentioned in the Blade Runner thread.

What I’d expect is that this might actually be a cheeky nod to the fact that Ridley Scott (or his team) recycled effects shots in Blade Runner that were originally created for Alien. (A fitting thing for Blade Runner’s patchwork world.) Screens seen in the Nostromo and escape shuttle are also seen in the police spinners in Blade Runner

I don't even believe that much. I'm much more in sync with the article I posted. Which suggests that it's just someone having some fun with an easter egg, seeing how far it can go.
