The NZA Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 random bits! Shooting started around March 8th in Toronto. Three weeks there and the remainder months in London.Six months long shoot, quite lengthy. Source Movie seems to be still based in the Alien universe despite some recent reports. Director: Ridley Scott Art advisor: H.R Giger Release: June 8th 2012 Info: Officially one movie and complete tale and not two like earlier stated. Animatronic(s) made for practical effects. Movie is a slow crawl like the original Alien film with intense second half. Most likely a hard R. Shot with Red Epic cameras (capable of 5k resolution @ 120fps 3D). Casting: Casting: Guy Pearce Emun Elliot Benedict Wong Logan Marshall-Green Michael Fassbender Noomi Rapace Idris Elba Kate Dickie Charlize Theron Rafe Spall Sean Harris "She's a scientist and is very bright," she continued. "She's a believer. I think there are some similarities, but she's very much her own. I don't think people will compare her so much to Ripley once they see the movie." Rapace was the first actor officially cast in "Prometheus," giving her plenty of time to build a working relationship with Scott. "It's a great honor and I'm really excited," she said of working with the acclaimed director. "I've met him maybe seven or eight times and he's so passionate. He really loves movies. He watches movies every night. He's seen everything. We had a long chat on the phone — he's in LA now — about my character. I have many ideas and he has many ideas, and now we're starting to search and try to find her." They better find her fast, too, as Rapace starts working on "Prometheus" by the end of the month: "I'm jumping into that straight off of ['Sherlock Holmes 2']. My character's name is Elizabeth Shaw, and I'll step into her shoes in March and be her for six months or something. It's quite a long shoot. It's unbelievable."

APANCHALYPSE RETURNS Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Yes. Ridley Scott returning to Aliens? This has win all over it. Originally heard that it was gonna be a trilogy, but sad that it might not be the case. Whatever, I'll be there for this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 yeah, ridley scott + giger are the right names for this. cast sounds pretty good too...resurrection didn't go so well, but i think i'd be down for this as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APANCHALYPSE RETURNS Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Resurrection wasn't that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Awesome! I had read that this went from an Alien prequel to something unrelated, but its looks like they went back to another Alien movie yeah? Lookin forward to this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 In retrospect none of the Alien movies were bad it's just the first two were damn hard acts to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Writer Damon Lindelof interviews director Ridley Scott at SDCC. Shh, it really is an ALIEN prequel. Weel, Scott admits the biggest non-secret in geekdom, that this is indeed a prequel to his breakout film ALIEN. Seems also that Ridley isn't on the Chris Nolan train at all and is in luv w/ the 3D process of filming. Cast includes: Michael "Magneto" Fassbender, Guy "Memento" Pearce, "Noomi "Girl w/ the Dragon Tattoo" Rapace (whose name Scott had no idea how to pronounce--awkward gold!), and Charlize "Aeon Flux" Theron.

The NZA Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 ironically, there's a trailer before cap (if you see the same batch, anyway) that had me thinking it was this for a short bit, but nah, it's an apollo one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 They apparently showed some footage at SDCC, which I'm waiting to surface online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NZA Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 In retrospect none of the Alien movies were bad it's just the first two were damn hard acts to follow. I'm inclined to agree with 3, 4...i dunno. no one else got hyped from that short trailer? i'm so down for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 That does look awesome. So is this a legit Alien prequel, or just set in the same universe, or just has a very similar feel to it? Alot of things I read about it contradict each other. Regardless this looks to be alot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newtype Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 The ship is in the first 2 movies. Same universe and I'm guessing prequel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I'm inclined to agree with 3, 4...i dunno. no one else got hyped from that short trailer? i'm so down for this. See, you're thinking of the last 20 minutes where it went off the rails with the humalien and sucking it out the window and the queen giving vaginal birth. That movie had everything: Ron Perlman, big alien stunts, Brad Dourif, guns, gore, explosions. (You can read that paragraph in the voice of SNL's Stefan for added quality) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 yeah, you might be right - it's mostly that weird/bad ending i recall. there were also a few moments it felt like Weaver didn't wanna be there either, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Hakujin Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 ^After watching the trailers I thought he'd be the android. I wonder if he is the precursor to Bishop or if he was simply another model manufactured simultaneously? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 Space, Panch & I were just talking about this...everything ive read still says loose to no connections to the Alien line. Space isn't even expecting xenomorph aliens of any kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Yeah, I'm not expecting any Xenomorphs. That's totally the Space Jockey in the other trailer though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsonfire Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Aliens is one of my favourite sci-fi franchises of all time. Aliens is in my top 5 favourite movies, period. Not to mention Ridley Scott being a movie-making deity. Let's just say I'm fucking ready. Anyone catch the virals? Having this one as a TED talk was a very nice touch, I thought.

crimsonfire Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 The viral videos don't give away any of the story. They're just fun in-universe stuff. Third trailer up. I think I'll resist though. Want to go into this as blind as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
