ron5864 Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 I would so LOL if in this 'Aliens' movie someone grabs a guitar and yells "Listen to my song!" and starts singing to the aliens. Quote

electric indigo Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 I looks like there are Xenomorphs in Prometheus, at least hints to them Quote
Dynaman Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 "What does god need with a starship?"is one of the best lines ever, and totally validates V's existence. It *WOULD* have been a good line if Shatner had not destroyed the delivery so badly. The key to getting a good performance out of Shatner is making him say a line so many times he stops overacting... (Star Trek 2 director, on how he got Shatner to correctly say "Here it comes") Quote

The key to getting a good performance out of Shatner is making him say a line so many times he stops overacting... (Star Trek 2 director, on how he got Shatner to correctly say "Here it comes") Shatner was the director for V so that was never going to happen. Even still, he may not have said it quite right, but it was a good line and I feel that movie gets panned more then it should. I looks like there are Xenomorphs in Prometheus, at least hints to them Considering the movie takes place in the same universe and involves the Jockey's who carried the Alien's in the first film it would seem impossible to not have them be a part of it in some capacity.

pfunk Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 I would so LOL if in this 'Aliens' movie someone grabs a guitar and yells "Listen to my song!" and starts singing to the aliens. And then is sprayed with acid, melts away just leaving a quivering puddle Quote
Golden Arms Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 Wouldn't work. Basara would deflect the acid with his guitar. He would then rip the xenomorphs tongue out, ala Alien Ressurection and use the slime for hair gel. Quote
Lobizon Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 New extended Prometheus - International Trailer (HD) Quote
ultraman zoffy Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 From the look of the trailer... looks like whatever they find on board that ship starts morphing humans into xenomorphs. Hmm. Quote
Kelsain Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Too much in trailers these days! Very nice, but I prefer the first one. So stoked to see this, still! (null) Quote
Marzan Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Wow. Looks like my kind of movie. Can't wait for june! Quote
Mog Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Yeah, I'm looking forward to this summer's movies. Quote
pfunk Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Wouldn't work. Basara would deflect the acid with his guitar. He would then rip the xenomorphs tongue out, ala Alien Ressurection and use the slime for hair gel. YEAH, in backwards land Quote
peter Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 YEAH, in backwards land Haha, no kidding. I would love to see Basara in this film as well, there's always need for a human sacrifice Quote
Omegablue Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Haha, no kidding. I would love to see Basara in this film as well, there's always need for a human sacrifice Please, lets keep the Macross cancer out of this thread. Quote
peter Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Please, lets keep the Macross cancer out of this thread. Please, lets keep the Macross cancer out of this thread. i'm sorry, it's just that that peace-loving, tree hugging, hippie communist fairy just brings out the worst in me. He's right up there with those terrorists from Greenpeace. Anyway, back on topic, I thought this movie wasn't going to have anything to do with the zenomorphs, except for the fact that they exist in the same universe? I was really hoping that I wouldn't see any...it would totally ruin it for me if in the very last scene, they showed a xenomorph.........or Basara winning the war, one tune at a time, haha! Sorry, couldn't resist. I really like the thought of this movie standing on it's own, with it's own story, wholly apart from the Alien series. Yeah, it's all the same universe, but I was hoping it's had a strong enough story that it could stand on it's own without having to tie it too closely to the Alien series. Quote
Penguin Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 As far as Scott and Lindelof have said, it is a stand-alone film. In Lindelof's words, Alien is not the sequel to Prometheus. Their emphasis has been that by the end you will know how the events of Alien were started, but a sequel to Prometheus would follow a completely different path. Whether that means we see an actual Giger critter, some sort of prototype version of it, or just get some clues and the general idea, we don't know. Quote

Someone posted this image earlier: Screen shot and that looks pretty Gigerish... Quote
Penguin Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Absolutely Gigerish (Gigeresque?). So far our evidence amonts to one relief image on a wall in one scene, with no context about where it appears in the film. I would fit that into the category of a clue or a hint. There's also a possible clue in a scene that has a character seemingly grabbing at the front of a space helmet with smoke rising from it (maybe acid?). So far, I think all we got are clues. By "see an actual Giger critter" I meant a chestbursting space jockey, or a facehugger, or some other "living" creature. Quote
GU-11 Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Um, do we still get that scene where the chick [what's her name again?] does pushups topless? The trailer showed a cleverly edited scene of it. Just curious is all. Quote
electric indigo Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 By "see an actual Giger critter" I meant a chestbursting space jockey, or a facehugger, or some other "living" creature. The Alien bits we see in the latest trailer seem to be more of a fishy/wormy nature so far (watch the autodoc scene). But then there's also the infant space jockey and the "engineer"/Voldemort in a Giger rubber suit. Quote
TehPW Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Infant Space Jockie? Pics please or no soup for your explanation Quote

We have no idea what those beasties are, or if they'll tie into the origin of the Alien. It's safe to say, at this point, Prometheus is something I'm looking more forward to than Avengers or Dark Knight Rises. Quote
glane21 Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Find the imax trailer on youtube, it shows the space jockey suit opening up. Quote
Omegablue Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 It's safe to say, at this point, Prometheus is something I'm looking more forward to than Avengers or Dark Knight Rises. As much as I'm a fan of Nolan's Trilogy, I totally agree. Quote

Kelsain Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 I'm pretty sure that's the jockey seen in Alien. Looks like the pilot chair. (null) Quote
renegadeleader1 Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 So anybody want to start up the Prometheus death pool and start making guesses on who gets killed off first? As always in movies like this the safe bet is the token black guy, but the greedy coporate woman who is Chalize Theron's character seems likely to fall too. What do you guys say? Quote
Golden Arms Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 The greedy corporate person typically makes it 3/4 of the movie,and is usually killed in the last third of the film. After they've double crossed and complained their way to the end. The token minority, is usually killed by giving their life/hopelessly fighting off the monster/baddies so their caucasian costars can get away. Quote

Good point on the greedy corporate person, but there are always exceptions like in jurrasic park (not counting the unamed park worker at the beginning) where the greedy corporate lawyer was the first to die. Maybe we should do a list of the crewmembers of the ship and pick which order they die if at all. Quote
TehPW Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 can you guys get screen shots of some of the battles? like the one i mentioned months ago, suggesting that the one guy about to DFA another wasnt human? exposure to alien stuff not unlike that Apollo 18 movie last year? Quote
electric indigo Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 I'm pretty sure that's the jockey seen in Alien. Looks like the pilot chair. (null) Sure is, but the important thing to note is that he is not fully grown yet (still human sized?) Quote
Penguin Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Comparison between Alien and Prometheus might not be vald. " Looks like it's been dead a long time. Fossilized. Looks like it's growing out of the chair." - Dallas (Tom Skerritt), Alien Then again, maybe Dallas was just wrong. Quote
