Paid Members chokeout Posted March 22, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted March 22, 2012 Ridley Scott is already casting for his next project which is an original script by Cormac McCarthy (which means it'll be fucking brilliant). Well seeing as Prometheus presumably takes place hundreds (perhaps thousands) of years after AVP I'm guessing he's a distance ancestor of Charles Weyland. Although Ridley and Lindelof are ignoring everything that came after Alien from the sounds of things so there will probably be no links to the other movies whatsoever.  Prometheus is set in 2085, 30 years before Alien. AvP was set in 'present day' I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 On that Weyland site it says he was born around the turn of the Millenium, so I think we can assume he's the son of the character from AvP Â I understand ignoring the Predator-related timelines, as if he's going to do with Prometheus what I think he's doing, it would be problematic to have Aliens on Earth in the present day. But he can't ignore Aliens/Alien3/Alien4 can he? There's not a huge amount added to the mythos, but most of it is cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted March 22, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted March 22, 2012 Well it sounds like the "space jockey" is the only real link between this and Alien so I guess he can ignore everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted March 27, 2012 Moderators Share Posted March 27, 2012 Read the other day that Michael K Williams (Omar from The Wire) is going to play ODB in a biopic. He's kinda a bit too old looking, but this could be fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Dead Mike Posted March 27, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted March 27, 2012 I saw that earlier. The film's apparently based around the back end of his career leading up to his death when he was planning a comeback, love Michael K Williams so I have high hopes for this.

iamtheman Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 (edited) seems to be a new trend that im not sure about really. although the new twilight had a 15 second teaser for a 48 second teaser?????  anyway here's ridley scott on Promethesus in 3d  How was it working in 3D? I'm kind of naturally visual anyway, that's where I come from. And you're working off superb 3D screens, which are on the floor, and are really big. It was just wonderful.  I was shooting on 3D, then seeing it on the floor. It was easy, I must say.  Do you push it in a way we haven't seen before?  Well, I mean, yeah. You only want to push it so far, before it becomes arrows popping out of the screen and stabbing you in the eye. You use it for visual effect.  Is it more immersive, giving depth?  Yes, yes. And you can do that afterwards, by the way. I'm actually decided right now how deep to make it on certain sequences.  So you can literally, as it were, twiddle a knob, and the depth will increase. It's kind of bizarre, but there it is. Technologically it's absolutely staggering.  I was working with MPC in London, looking after almost 1,300 big FX shots, and every night they would pipe through shots to a big screen in my office in Lexington Street; I would sit there watching a sequence that had just been graded or refined in perfect 3D. Really amazing.  wondered about the 3d. not sure about it but scorsese's first 3d film had fantastic 3d so i might change my mind Edited March 27, 2012 by iamtheman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted March 29, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted March 29, 2012 Â Now that's an announcement everyone can get behind. That's awesome, it will have a hell of a job living up to the first one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Â Now that's an announcement everyone can get behind. That's awesome, it will have a hell of a job living up to the first one though. Â Well put. The first film is one of my favourite ever comedies. Wasn't sure we would get a sequel with the delays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
