    Prometheus - Alien prequel

    Was quite to surprised to hear that 1) there's going to be one 2) Ridley Scott is doing it 3) H.R Geiger involved linky






    office chair in the middle to give a sense of scale for that set.







    A lot to live up to this but it has to be better than 3 & Resurrection

    I'm looking forward to it. It's been filming at Pinewood for quite a while now, but the set's buttoned up tighter than a ducks twat

    Its looking like it was going to originally being a prequal, but its now some sort of sequal going by what the internet says.

    Sounds interesting.

    It's a stand-alone sci-fi film, set in the Alien universe and before the original, so technically still a prequel.

    The screenwriter has said:

    it needs to be EPIC, of EPIC proportions.

    the franchise has been massivly tainted by the shit that was AVP IMO.

    With Ridley back at the helm, it's got a fighting chance of bringing the Alien franchise back in line... If he doesn't manage it, it's probably dead

    Looks awesome, something needs to give the series a good kick up the ass.

    Especially since the mess that was Aliens Vs Predator 2

    It looks like it has potential.

    The thing from the Alien franchise that's caught my eye is Colonial Marines. I've only seen a few minutes of in-game footage, but what there is there looks great and feels right.

    I kinda like Alien 3 too. Dark and closer to the original.
    Like Alien, they left a load of stuff out that helped it make a bit more sense though
    They should have ended that part of the story right there.

    Really can't wait for this. Hopefully one of the films of the year and fingers crossed we are left wondering if there is going to a sequel/prequel.

    It's got a hell of a lot of good actors in it.

    The technology looks more advanced than in Alien/Aliens. I thought it was supposed to be a prequel?
