I guess movies joins sports as our two major areas of contention.  Getting excited about a Tarantino rip-off Angry.
 
I'm excited about The Dark Knight Rises but generally I don't geared up over movie releases.  Prometheus does look interesting, though.


What's a Tarantino rip-off?

Well, I'm gonna watch this film. After Fincher's Girl with a Dragon Tattoo I can honestly say that this is a good year for movies.

Any series of images and sounds is a plot.

Which is why I prefer the first one where the only annoying character is Sigourney Weaver.

I would have liked it better if it hadn't had so many annoying characters in it.

What I'm really excited for is it's exploring the origin of the space jockey from the first alien and perhaps ties into the creation of the xenomorph. Yeah the graphics and effects have been stated to be quite incredible. I'm so pumped!

I noticed that, strange the didn't say from the director of Alien, then mention Blade Runner, and then mention Gladiator if they're going to mention those other films.  Maybe they didn't want to make it too obvious from the trailer that Prometheus is part of the Alien franchise.


From what I've read it does look like Scott and Co. are doing their best to avoid the question of whether it's an Alien prequal or not, despite the seemingly heavy connection between them.

But they mentioned Blade Runner first and then Gladiator, so it does seem strange not to mention Alien as well, which is why, perhaps, I think that they have deliberately not mentioned Alien because they didn't want to immediately tip the hat off to it being an Alien film (to build some excitement later as they gave more of it away, avoid spoilers, or other reasons which involves wanting to distance themselves a bit from the franchise at first).  The Alien franchise has been going for many years, and I think would be really well known to a  lot of the audience who would see Prometheus.

Blade Runner didn't come out that many years after Alien (but three years), but they mentioned Blade Runner before Gladiator (Blade Runner is a more respected film than Alien I would say, mind you).

Most likely because they want to target an even larger market than that of Alien faithfuls. I'm sure Gladiator is much more well known than Alien, and it was after all done in the late '70s, which is more or less the same as the age of silent film for many of the people I've talked with about film (and for whom films from the '90s are "old").

I've been interested in this for a while now, but that trailer realing raises my hopes a fair bit.

I didn't even know about it until saw this topic, but I'm looking forward to this one now after watching the trailer on youtube.  I loved the first Alien film (my favourite of the franchise).  I probably will go see it in 3D in the theatre.
