I don't know why he told me that he was going to be playing an alien in the ALIEN prequel - just a kind of momentary madness,I think. Whatever the reasons, I should have kept it to myself and not posted it here. I accept that it may be too late to save his job but please, Sir Ridley, I implore you - please don't have him blacklisted, McCarthy style.

I know what he did was foolish but he doesn't deserve to never work again. He has a small child and you would effectively be starving her. I genuinely didn't think leaking this information about the 7ft guy could destroy a person's career but both GammaWinstead and WyldeMan45 have set me right about that.

I can only hope that you are capable of mercy. I will never mention so much as a rumour in this thread again, Sir Ridley, i swear.

Very intriguing......

Shooting Moves to Iceland for “the Beginning of Time”

Ridley Scott’s Prometheus remains shrouded in secrecy, but the production is moving to Helka, Iceland for two weeks of shooting. The country won’t be featured in the film, but Scott tells IceNews that what they shoot “will be 15 minutes in total, if all goes to plan. We are shooting the beginning of time.” [Emphasis mine] Lead actors Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender, and Noomi Rapace will all be on hand for the shoot. Part of the filming will be at the “Dettifoss waterfall [pictured above] — Europe’s most powerful by volume of water.”

So what does this mean for the story? No one knows! But Scott explains, “There is a lot of innovative and new stuff in the film and it would be a shame to ruin that [surprise] with leaks.” I’m glad that they’re keeping the mystery alive, but hopefully we’ll get some answers on the film when it has its Comic-Con presentation on Thursday, July 21st.

BD doesn't let me link the photos here so click the source link below.

New 'Prometheus' Photos From Iceland Location

Earlier this week, we got word that Prometheus' production was moving from Pinewood Studios to Iceland, where Ridley Scott was planning to shoot "the beginning of time" at the base of the Hekla volcano. Today, some behind-the-scenes photos made their way online, one of which shows a ship panel created with Giger's Alien aesthetic in mind. Check past the break for a few more snapshots and let the speculation begin!

Visionary filmmaker Ridley Scott returns to the genre he helped define, creating an original science fiction epic set in the most dangerous corners of the universe. The film takes a team of scientists and explorers on a thrilling journey that will test their physical and mental limits and strand them on a distant world, where they will discover the answers to our most profound questions and to life’s ultimate mystery.

The way I look at it, it's an original film but set in the same universe

It's prequel/not a prequel as Foggy said it's set in the same universe and takes place before Alien, so make of that what you will.

[kernel_thai]

I think the line gets drawn with the ship that crashed on LV-426. If that is featured in the movie as the first synopsis suggested, it's a prequel.

1st Official photo from Prometheus:

[Show spoiler]

This photo was released today at ComicCon. There are suppose to be more released through out the day.

[csdot]

oh wow i am so excited for this, cant wait to see the rest of the pics.

[detective392]

Awesome pic and can't wait for the teaser.

[Foggy]

That first picture is amazing, doesn't show anything, yet I know it will be in a similar tone and atmosphere to the original alien

[Dave_6]

Ugh I can't see it! Stupid work filter...

[WyldeMan45]

Whoever that is, is quite skinny with girly arms so it's got to either be Rapace. Or Fassbender really needs to hit the gym.

Charlize Theron Reveals Details On Her Character In Prometheus, Plus Footage Description

Some nice updates from SDCC on Ridley Scott's highly anticipated sci-fi flick. Theron reveals she is affiliated with a company who's name you will surely recognize, and we also have the description of the footage that was screened..
Remember all that stuff about Ridley Scott's Prometheus NOT being a prequel to Alien? Well just forget the shit out of that. The misdirection may have been to throw fans off the scent of to ensure people didn't get the impression that it was a direct prologue, but rest assured Scott's new project is firmly set in the same universe as Aline.



The Prometheus panel is in full flow at SDCC right now and we have some very interesting updates for you. First up The Playlist have posted some quotes from one of the movie's stars Charlize Theron. She reveals that her character runs Weyland-Yutani, the "company" present throughout the Alien saga..

”...she is really the suit, she’s the one that runs the company,” Theron said about her role in the film and how it was developed. “Ridley always kind of grounds it and brings it back to reality. I watch the Trump family for instance and I don’t really know much about it but I know Ivana is running that ship. I don’t ever set out to play a character with strength. I kind of find the circumstance. It was once we found the world and what we wanted to explore with her that we kind of found [the character].”



Also, footage was just screened. And Bleeding Cool posted their description..

Starting with a montage of clips from Ridley Scott’s previous films, including Alien, the video package soon went into a mixture of interview clips with Scott and shots from the film. The interview pieces were telling us that this isn’t really an Alien prequel, that the only connection is this oft-discussed Alien DNA.

On the other hand, the footage confirmed completely that this is an Alien film. The production design was familiar and, not to put too fine a point on it, there were glimpses of bits and pieces of the alien biology we recognise. Something like a full size humanoid alien was seen in the burn of a flamethrower, tail and all, and if you were looking in the right place, you could see something like the alien eggs.

Michael Fassbender’s character does look like the Android characters from the previous alien films but in one shot, we see him cry; in another, he appears to prick his finger and draw blood.

Scott is currently on screen via link-up to Iceland and has confirmed that “there may be two” robots in the cast of Prometheus.

As Lindelof has noted on stage, there is a shot in the clip that appears to show a naked Charlize Theron doing press-ups. There’s also another of Noomi Rapace dropping to the floor in a smilier pose – but she’s allowed the dignity of wearing something a bit like Leeloo’s bandage outfit from The Fifth Element.

There are several shots in the footage which appear to show characters meeting sticky ends, including some of the big name stars, but I wouldn’t want to spoil that.


Ok, well they had me at naked Theron push up's anyway, but that ridiculously awesome cast and the fact that Ridley mother[frick]in Scott is returning to the Alien universe also helps. Sorry, big fan
