Sequel.. sequel.. sequel.. sequel.. 8-)

I'd like to see how Christopher Nolan would go about doing it... Eh i can dream.. lol Second best choice would be David Fincher (just let him avenge himself over all of the problems of Ali3n)

It'll probably be directed by Scott or by one of his "protegé's".

I dont care much for Jim Cameron. specially after Avatar...

9/10

I strongly believe that the relatively fast pacing during the last half of the movie, which makes it nearly impossible to absorb everything that happens in the movie with only one viewing, is due to a compromise between Ridley and Fox Studios. Ridley said in some interview that with a big tentpole movie like Prometheus an R-rating means around $70 million less in Box Office than a PG-13 rating. So I'm guessing that Fox demanded a 2 hour running time specifically to compensate for the big loss of revenue in case that 'Prometheus' got an R-rating, which it did. So in essence when Fox publicly stated that they didn't want Ridley to compromise on his vision they were being honest as they only demanded a compromise in running time.

2 hour running time is the standard Fox formula for their blockbusters.

I'm not kidding.. it's mandatory for all their summer releases.

People shouldn't bash Cameron this hard. In the end the cost of the movie was about 500 million. If it were a r rating movie the audience of the movie would be split in half.So fewer chanced to get back the money you invested in it. And if you have a movie that needs to tend to all audiences from young to old, you need a dumb, ordinary story. There was no other way

'Prometheus' Credits Tag Leads to a New Viral Site & Weyland Video
10 June 2012

Image

Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Well, what do we have here. Amidst all the discussion on Prometheus, fans have seemed to miss a clue that continues the story beyond what we see in this movie. MovieViral points out of that if you stay to the very end of the credits, there is a Weyland Corp tag (not a scene, just a logo - seen above) that includes the date 10. 11. 12. prominently displayed. I'd heard mentions of this, but many played it off as the possible DVD release date of Prometheus, which would (and still does) make sense. But there's actually a viral website associated with it and that comes with a new video featuring a young Peter Weyland.

At first glance, the tag just contains some basic information - Weyland Corp, which is a nifty little bumper, plus a link to the timeline website and that date. Fans following the viral should already be familiar with the viral timeline, which has provided many clues and lots of valuable information. For example, in this case, 10-11-2012 is the date when Weyland Incorporates. It states: "Weyland Corporation is recognized as a legal entity and corporation under United States law and receives their Certificate of Incorporation from the Companies House in the United Kingdom." So it's when they go from Weyland Corp to Weyland Industries, must be a major change. The new site was then discovered at WhatIs101112.com with even more clues.

So what's on this new 10.11.12. website? A lot of interesting information which seems to ask even more questions rather than answer any. But there may be some big clues here. One of the key components is a new video, a short 30-second video featuring a young Peter Weyland (played by Guy Pearce) from the TED 2023 Talk. In it, he only says one line: "I am a law only for my kind, I am no law for all." But there's also the tag on the video itself: Thus Spoke Zarathustra. The title refers to the book by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. "Much of the work deals with ideas such as the 'eternal recurrence of the same', the parable on the 'death of God', and the 'prophecy' of the Übermensch," it states. Watch the video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEL7m73EAPo

The website also features a 3D render of a book with the title written on it "What is Great in Man is That He is a Bridge and Not an End." It's another quote from Nietzsche's book Thus Spoke Zarathustra, which all of this must be heavily connected to, given the numerous references so far. Plus, for everyone who has now seen Prometheus, all of these connections are starting to make sense. Weyland wants to meet his maker and wants to support a voyage to meet these gods, whoever they may be, since he is in search of power as well. But what does 10.11.12 really mean? We're not entirely sure yet. The site has five "modules", currently only at "1-A1", so we may have four more of these to go through, plus four more months until October anyway.

We'll keep you updated on this viral and if anything else Prometheus related arrives on the Weyland Corp or 10.11.12 websites. Whatever is going on, it's definitely not over. Whether this is all just for the DVD release or more hype for a story beyond the events in Prometheus, I'm excited to see where Weyland takes us next.

that's because they are all done after the same russian cam rip. and honestly the russian version is higher quality then the other shit.too bad for the audio. we need to wait a couple more days for some new rip to arrive,probably with line audio and the final scene

'Prometheus': Boy Has Seizure During Graphic Movie Scene
11 June 2012

A graphic surgery scene in the new movie, 'Prometheus', is being blamed for a boy being rushed to the hospital suffering a seizure Sunday. This Ridley Scott feature film is the prequel to the 1979 block buster 'Alien'.

The 15 year-old boy was watching the film in a theater in New South Wales when he passed out and started to suffer a seizure. This happened just as the gory scene came on the screen. Due to this incident, questions of the rating being too moderate are raised. The movie is rated R in the U.S. and MA15+ in Australia, where this incident occurred, according to Perth Now.

Seizures were reported back in 1994 from movie goers watching 'Pulp Fiction', which was filled with gore. The scene with John Travolta delivering a stabbing shot of adrenalin to Uma Thurman’s heart saw many people pass out.

"Pulp Fiction, which was filled with gore." :rofl:

Code:
Ridley Scott talks more Prometheus, run times, deleted scenes, and the new BLADE RUNNER in an exclusive interview with Collider's Steven Weintraub.

In the chat, the director states the first cut of his new sci-fi film is "2... 27". The theatrical cut ended up being 1 hour and 59 minutes long excluding credits. Also Scott mentions, for better or worse, that the theatrical cut of Prometheus is "fundamentally a director's cut."

In addition to the talk regarding the run times, Ridley Scott provides more details about the fight scene between Shaw and The Engineer that didn't make it to the theatrical cut (the first time we heard of this unused footage was in an interview with Rapace and Fassbender here http://youtu.be/h-UR9_gh7a4?t=3m18s).

"What she gives is as good as it gets, with an ax... she's really, very physical. He's so big. For him to be clouted by a conventional weapon somehow dimished him," the director says. "It's drama. I didn't want to diminish him by having this person who's got this weapon to be able to kind of back him off. It minimized him."

Check out the video interview yourself where the Prometheus talk starts at 2:07. The director also reveals some very interesting details about the new BLADE RUNNER movie towards the end of the video.

Ridley Scott on the Extended Cut DVD/Blu-Ray
10 June 2012

Ridley: "The Engineer fight scene [with Shaw] was pretty good. It will definitely go on the [to deleted scenes]. It won’t go on the Long Version. The problem about it is, while she gives as good as she gets with an axe, he’s so big, for him to be clouted with a conventional weapon somehow diminished him."

Question: You’re going to do an extended cut on the Blu-ray/DVD. Is it a lot longer?

Ridley: "20 minutes."

http://collider.com/ridley-scott-promet ... ew/172202/

Thanks man! He already basically admitted this a week ago on BBC but here's comes the confirmation and the added minutes. Can't wait to see the longer cut which I'm sure in this particular case is actually the definitive Director's Cut! 8-)

I would like to see more of Shaw's fight with the engineer (either in the director's cut or as an extra in the release) - I thought that went to quickly and should of been a little bit longer. Maybe also some more scenes with the xenomorph from the last scene.

Well, 20 minutes longer running time is quite a lot. It means that several scenes in the movie will be longer. I bet that most of the 20 minutes that will be added back will go to last half of the movie.
