MyMovieCanBeatUpYourMovie Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Prometheus: Let's Try This Again is the big takeaway I got from that trailer. Lindelof did seem to take most of the blame for the last one, but he did tell us he was just trying to execute the ideas Scott told him he wanted in the script.

EmpireCity Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 We get another Alien movie directed by 79 year old Ridley Scott. That is a fucking gift. Enjoy it. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alli Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Looks good. Prometheus had some nice ideas that unfortunately remained unexplored. This is Action-horror...i like that too. Still, let's not forget this is written by the TRANSCENDENCE screenwriter. I remain skeptical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a masterful composer. I'm assuming Fassbender brought him on. Magnificent and underrated work from Assassin's Creed, Macbeth, Snowtown, Slow West, and The Babadook.

Looks great but yeah, bit meh trailer - not to mention that it was a cover after all... Anyway, I'm sure the Prometheusy stuff will figure in trailer 2, it makes sense from a marketing perspective to focus on the horror stuff first.

Its the person that hired Lindelof that should take the blame, it not like he isnt known for being rubbish, and ruining franchises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the Kurzel bros will keep getting work even after the disaster that came out this week. Well they seem to be still in the good books of Fassbender.

The Futurist Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 There is even more creativity at play here than in the Force Awakens & Blade Runner 2049 trailers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reason actors like Fassbender gravitate towards them.

I dunno what people are expecting? Alien/s were very straightforward as well. And are they the same people that were against Terminator Salvation for breaking free of the formula? I'm sure it'll also expand on the mythos, giving us some answers, as alluded to at the end of Prometheus. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is NOTHING deep or philosophical about this franchise and nor do they have great stories as some would like to believe. First one is a well done B horror sci-fi film that had a unique creature design. The 2nd one is an awesome action packed intense film with some cool imagery. Alien 3 is garbage. Alien Resurrection is a fun movie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for you an auteur is one who is a YES MAN and is willing to let his movie be shit and not make any money...great. I guess that's the new age definition of auteur.

Elessar Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 (edited) For crying out loud, movies don't need to be "deep" of "philosophical" to be considered classics. Alien and Aliens are in no way overrated. Amazingly crafted movies. And NOT devoid of some undertones and metaphors, either. Alien 3 might be flawed but it's clear there's a good director at work here. And Resurrection? Yeah, that is pretty fun, too. I fucking LOVE the franchise! If one cannot tell...

marveldcfox Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 (edited) I wish someone like James Cameron or Ridley Scott had made an R rated AVP film with great production values. If either one had made it in 2004, it would have been a huge hit. Edited December 25, 2016 by marveldcfox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessar Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 (edited) When is the new Predator coming out? I guess 2018 since they haven't started filming yet. A new Alien, Blade Runner AND Predator would be too much for my poor heart, anyway. Edited December 25, 2016 by Elessar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plain Old Tele Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 I hope no one harbors any doubts that Ridley Scott is in full overall creative charge of this. I think it looks fun. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
