Oh holy fuckballs, this can't get here fast enough.
Oh holy fuckballs, this can't get here fast enough.
I'm totally scared right now.
I just read a good one, that the humans aren't the only ones who find an 'invitation' to the planet. That would make sense. Maybe the big blue chap is part of another team of explorers from another planet?
Chills watching the new trailer.
I guess everyone has seen this but in case at least one person hasn't:
Must refrain to make jokes.
Anyone else catch the new TV spot that aired during The Walking Dead? There was a new shot of a certain character who usually sits that was upright and walking. Wow wow wow.
I can't ever say I was skeptical of Ridley for going with a high industrial look/feel for the film as opposed to the 1980's look, but an added fan service I love is the similarities of the hall in the Prometheus to that of the Nostromo.
Anybody spot the quick shot of the Xenomorph coming out of the wall yet.
Watching the "Official" trailer back to back with the "International - UK" trailer, it's fun to gauge the completely different reaction they evoke from me: With the International trailer, I'm like: "Oh hey, this seems cool, that's definitely a movie I'd be interested to see", while with the "Official" trailer, my reaction is more like: "Oh shit, SHIT, holy FUCKBALLS, I want to see this, I need to see this, shit is getting real, SHIT IS GETTING REEAAAAALLLL, THIS IS THE ALIEN (universe) MOVIE TO END ALL ALIEN (universe) MOVIES!!!11"

When you see Noomi praying in front of what looks like a bathroom mirror, does something pop out of her mouth ever so slightly? Is she trying to swallow something back down?
Well, since she's covered in blood or some sort of brown goo and lying under a scanner one can guess that she gets impregnated/infected by something that might be some form of pre-Alien.
Also Scott hinted that we will get to see something in the vain of 1979's chestburster scene.
Anyway, those trailers got me sooo hoked! While showing so much they make you ask so many more questions. I really hope this is what we're all wishing for.
Speaking of being hooked, the ARG is driving fans of the movies and ARGs mad.

what is the password?! It is related to the number 245409 and eridu somehow. Anyone in the States want to put any of those into their phones? Maybe adding a ** before eridu.

So the big reveal is that the Space Jokey was always Voldemort and Sir Scott is setting us up to blow Alien vs Predator out of the water with the ultimate vs crossover ever Alien vs Harry Potter!
From Facebook:
I love how Scott was basically whoring for the biggest Hollywood names he could find for this movie. If you look at all the women he considered for the lead, he was pretty clearly only going for whoever's 'in' at the moment. That and my allergy to Fassbender from overexposure make me a little wary about this...
...but I'll probably see it in some form, anyway, as I'm one of those dopes who loved all the Alien movies (even that one people don't like talking about).
She garnered a lot of fame for TGWTDT. She was also in the most recent Sherlock movie; seems to me like she's going to be pretty big soon. For all we know, the other actresses didn't want anything to do with the movie (which happens—a quick glance over the wiki tells me Fassbender himself wouldn't have been involved thanks to his agents asking for too much for his participation). If you look at the actresses slated for the role, they have so little in common with each other that it seems at first glance as though he were just plucking hot names from a hat.
That's fair enough. I think I'm just a little sick of seeing him in everything lately, heh.
I'm counting on Rafe Spall having an awesome part in this as I've noticed that very little of him is shown in the trailers... He is going to die horribly, I can tell. Digging his dorky hoodie and glasses look.
Speaking of people sporting dorky hoodie and glasses looks, here's a cool random interview with Damon Lindelof - in regards to the Alien appearance - "If you go to a Rolling Stone's show then they better play Satisfaction, even if it's just an encore"

Hula you are just wrong in this case.
Rapace was the only actress who was offered this role. The other actress attached to this movie for the main role was Theron and as we know that is different role.
You are confusing the casting of this movie with the casting of Dark Knight Rises Catwoman which was happening at the same time.
To be fair Fassbender was cast before he became the big shit he is right now.
Is there a possibility from looking at the trailers that the first image released from this movie was also rather cheeky in actually revealing one of the main "creatures"? A swarm of bugs? When I think about bio technology it would make total sense that a swarm of bugs could act in a very similar way to nano technology?
Spent a good chunk of time this morning dicking around on the weylandindustries website. That corporate timeline? So fucking cool.
You really get a sense of how much work went into creating this backstory. Anyone crack the password yet?
projectprometheus.com/eridu password is ... 'tell Abu Shahrain' enter for some really fucking awesome wallpaper.

projectprometheus.com/245409 is still unknown..
ARG pics revealed... second one gives you a better look at the temple. It's the rejected H.R.Giger design for Dune if you ask me.

I'm annoyed by this. This just seems random, not thought out. Oil reserves are somehow enormous in the future, at the same time Norway, with its currently huge supply of oil, and very low unemployment rates, has high unemployment rates? Sweden has medium unemployment rates... why? I feel insulted by Prometheus's marketing. Damnit all to hell!
Well, it's measured in years to global depletion, rather than actual quantity. Oil won't be used up terribly quickly when we're all running on hydrogen fuel cells or gas turbines. Mind you, I'd imagine Norway would be a great source of usable hydrogen and natural gas...
:edit: Interesting to note that they have a "security" division rather than the weapons division referenced in the existing films, and it's their smallest earner. I wonder if this will change over the course of Prometheus, or as a consequence of its events. And, obviously, there's no Yutani merger yet.
