Instead of fighting 'mother,' Sigourney becomes 'mother.'" That's what was said when she played the computer for one of robot-building supercorporation Buy'n'Large's spaceships... in "Wall-E". But Ripley has an even bigger One in the film Alien Resurrection in which she becomes the thing she has been hunting all those years!!! Part Xenomorph !!!

Spartacus, you are getting much warmer now...

read what I added I think I nailed that one on to the other now if you wanted two characters from the film, they are the Xenomorph and Her !!! In Resurrection the Xenomorph becomes part Human, and Ripley8 is born Part Xenomorph!!!

Not correct im afraid. The role reversal is in real life.

Gotcha, Thanks !!!

Weaver has gone from Leading Star Actress to supporting actress and is flattered buy it to boot. That should then be #1. I'm on to #2.

Nope. Need a clue?

okie dokie...lol.

I think the question is slightly misleading, i'll re-phrase it. Two characters in the franchise have their roles reversed in real life. Who are they and what role is reversed?

I know that Bill Paxton was a Carpenter who then became an Actor but I do not think Sigourney Weaver has ever been a carpenter...lol!!! She worked with one John Carpenter though.... I know I know..."Straws". !!!

Your on the right track with Sigourney/Ripley.

I think I got this now The guy who played Apone, Al Mathews, was in the Military...a Marine I think... and then became an actor playing a military man. Weaver played a nobody hunting a Queen Alien and is now known with the nickname now as the "Queen of Science Fiction".

Sorry, wrong again.

I suck !

Another clue?

yes please, and you already get the point for stumping me bro!

Sweet! hehe. The clue is, the two have a permanent link to eachother.

go to bed man !

I'm off to bed now. As for the question, The answer was Sigourney/Ripley & Amanda/Elizabeth. The role that was reversed is Mother/Daughter. Current standings, Thadus12=21.5 Spartacus=15 Tec-B=13 Engineer Prototype - Model GAJ84 = 12 Snorklebottom=10.5 Tec-B=13 Theusprom-3 Neurion=3 Tattooedkoi= 3 Biomechanic=2 Marty=1 Jamieboy=1 SpaceJock=1 Rick=1 Caine1977=1 Thad=.5 Spartacus, you have the con, you deserve it. Night!

Silly question but is the director of the film at all responsible for the trailer?

Not normally, it's the studio usually, hence why bad films always have the best parts in the trailer, and really bad films just give you a summary of the film. Saying that, am unsure as to whether ridley had anything to do with trailers in his earlier films, after all he did start out in commercials. See the thread entitled "Ridley Scotts Debut"

Scott does watch the trailer. In the documentary about Kingdom of Heaven, Scott was approving the trailer for the film so I am sure that his hand blessed this trailer, he wants to make sure that everything rolls good for the film...after all, his name is on it.

good stuff, does seem like a quality trailer, plenty of hints and teases without giving any of the plot away

I agree Cain1977, & that's the point, his "name is on it". It would be unwise of any director not to, because the trailer, like the film is an overall reflection of HIS/HER efforts and overall guidance and work on the piece in question, it is his own/their own reputation{s} on the line on top of everyone else who is involved so any good director would I feel take an active interest in the trailer content and version releases.

I agree with you Frantz but what I mainly was referring to was the film itself. I hope its rated "R"..I mean a PG-13 rating for an Alien film....come on now.

I hope this trailer comes out tomorrow.

Me too!! I'm pretty damn excited. How about you Snorkelbottom.

I'm just curious, gonna frame by frame try and figure out what may or may not happen.

Its hard to know if its out tomorrow or not...On one hand you would think there would be an announcement stating that its online tomorrow....y'know grabbing headlines about how servers crashed because of it? Or is it just gonna show up because lets face it the word of mouth will do the marketing campaign if it just does "show up"..??

Good idea. I will definitively view it multiple times. No doubt. The trailer will give us some kind of idea of what to expect. Lets just cross our fingers thats its online tomorrow. Worst case scenario is that we will have to wait.

Its a bit weird is it not that if we're getting a trailer tomorrow we have no "Official" site up yet?

Do a domain search, something might come up. Unless they're gonna post it on Fox's site?

Maybe an Apple exclusive...or Yahoo...followed by the site launch. Though all of the "Official" releases of pics and articles have been to 3rd party outlets. Im surprised that fox have not got a site up and running even for leaks of info...pics and then a build up to trailer release?

One word - Viral. Ridley is probably aware of how effect Viral marketing campaigns can be, why set up a site now when he'll know that should a trailer be released tomorrow, people like ourselves will share it and send to everyone and every site and every forum and every social network we know. We will be the most effective distributors of the trailer, and it cost's them nothing.

Yeah I agree ,as I said above we would act as the marketing campaign...I dunno..I dont think we will have it tomorrow..?
