Prometheus...

[Martin Stevens]

PROMETHEUS looks friggin' awesome!

What film stock did they use? heh heh heh

2012 is going to be one hell of a year for movies, 4K and especially Red and Redusers. I can't wait for Promethius, the Hobbit and I'm going to see Dragon Tatoo tonight (in 4K Yay!)

Chills...

Wow, that was grand.

[Peter Franzen]

I find it interesting that there is so much CG vs Set discussion going on in this thread because today our subject of discussion was on how people still hold up Aliens as an example of the power of miniatures... but that Prometheuses' CG ships are so phenomenal that they're almost like the counter point to the miniature work in Ridley Scott's previous work.



Also I wonder how much of this set was practical. :)

Quite a bit, from the looks of it.

Does anyone know if Giger worked on this film?

I've been fortunate enough to see a lot of stills from set. They've really taken the influences from Giger and Beksinski to really flesh out the sets. Gorgeous work.

Quite a bit, from the looks of it.

Does anyone know if Giger worked on this film?

I believe Scott confirmed that Giger did in fact do some work on this picture (with new designs like the giant head for example) as well as on another Scott-project coming ahead (Blade Runner...?) ;)

One thing is for sure... the 2012 film yield will not disappoint us. :-)

Hmm, the cast in Prometheus looks annoyingly pretty, like all of them, it's okay with a babe or two, or a handsome man, but like all of them... In Alien, we got real people - the girl running at 00:36 in the trailer... makes it look a little bit B and trashy... I guess this have nothing to do with the creative team (or their dicks), but more to do with the fact that the studio knows they earn more money (or atleast they think they do) with a pretty cast... Just as they know they earn more with a PG-13 rating... Anyways, I find real people in pressured situations more easy to connect with, than dolls in similar situations. Just a thought.


Besides this small annoyance, the film looks very interesting, and Alien being one of my favorite films, this will be a hard wait... :)
