Prometheus

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

So looking forward to this, two tv spots, a UK trailer, US trailer, teaser trailer (2 teasers to the teaser) and an IMAX trailer. Still no real idea what is going on.

According to various websites, this will tie in Blade Runner and Alien. The trailers look great. Saw one in 3D last weekend along with the huge bomb of John Carter.

Um, it's not a trailer that makes me think "Alien prequel" or, for that matter, a trailer that gets me excited at all. If I hadn't known what it was - and, perhaps crucially, already been an Alien fan - I'd have stopped watching after the first couple of clips. No idea what the film'll be like but I think they've got the trailer seriously wrong.
Any more of that and we'll be round your front door with the quick-setting whitewash and the shaved monkey.

I so desperately wanted to see John Carter when I heard it was Andrew Stanton directing but I still haven't heard a good word about it and the trailers for that are awful :(

The US trailer for Prometheus is a more obvious balls-out Alien prequel, I don't think I want to see anymore than I have now until the film comes out.

John Carter - I liked it.

The basic idea was excellent and the kind-of Star Wars sets lent it an air of familiarity. I've always liked the idea of science fiction mixed with ancient stuff mixed with the whole disbelief and " I shouldn't be here" role of a character.

John Carter of Mars is an invention of Edgar Rice Burroughs, who also created Tarzan. The material doesn't stand up too well to any test of time but then again it wasn't really meant to. They weren't called "pulps" for nothing.

From whar Ridley Scott said the only linkage is that a character in this is the guy who created the Weyland-Yutani corporation later on. :|

More excited for this than Avengers even. And I'm pretty darn excited about that.

Great teaser site with Guy Pearce as Weyland himself... https://www.weylandindustries.com/

Here's another viral:

There's a 10ish page feature in this month's Empire, I stopped reading about halfway through as they're happy to give away quite a bit that isn't in the trailer.

The Avengers looks promising too 8)
