I am new here and not sure if this topic is or has been covered but i am delighted at the news of a new Ridley sc fi blockbuster my only concern for Prometheus is the pg 13 rating thats being banded around as the most likely certificate for this movie. I was 13 when the original masterpiece came out and i was fortunate enough to see it on a private projection at a youth club of all places. I hope and pray that Sir Ridley dosen't succumb to studio pressure from fox and dumb down the story in terms of thrills and chills to become a sandwich box marketing gimmick in order to put bums on seats. Of course with the kind of money at stake in these ventures its inevitable that Some concessions have to be made to recuperate the financial cost and make hopefully good returns but not at the expense of the fans expectations unless of course you happen to be a fan of avp . I guess i'm just hoping that Ridley's integrity is not compromised and he delivers the savage nasty thrill ride that has brains, braun, and the balls we know he's capable of delivering.

The most terrifying scene for me in Carrie, wasn't the hand at the end although it was fun and my popcorn ended up in the lap of the old lady behind me...or even the scene in the kitchen where she telepathically kills her Mom...it was the scene in the gymnasium, when she starts to use her powers by locking all the doors and windows...you hear this hum in the background score that I Loved...made the whole thing much more dramatic and more importantly, scary for me than had it not been there. Imagine that, the background effect music made a difference in how scared by the film I was.

I would think 20th CF would haven given Ridley a lot of lattitude to make the film he wants. Look at the runs on the board the guy has. He would have filmed exactly what he wanted to film and then decided how far to go during the editing which would be happening with CGI production as we speak. I would also guess he would have been given quite amount of creative control for the upcoming editing process as a condition of him taking the helm to direct. Regardless I think the movie will make a shed load of money.

Personally I don't think you have much to worry about when it comes to the rating the film will get. Like in Alien there was only one really gore filled scene in the whole move, and the rest of the thrills was psychological. And as some have said Ridley has a tremendous track record with his films, and the studios will I am sure not overlook that and give him leeway that they would not give someone else. Given the standards in which films are rated in the North America I am certain we will see all the thrills we can handle in this film. I say this as I have watched this documentary called "This Film Is Not Yet Rated". And in it the people that rate the film seem to be far more concerned with sex and depicted sex over gore and thrills. So get ready people for a amazing scare fest!! I hope I am not being overly optimistic lol!!

Ratings are kind of silly, but I wouldn't mind if it was PG-13 or R.

There is a real good shot for this movie to be released in the theaters with a PG 13 rating. But when it is released on Blu-Ray/DVD they will make a Unrated directors cut that is of course the R rated version. That is how I think fox will do it. I can see if Fox is looking to make this movie beat out all the Superhero blockbusters and this would be their strategy.
