Yo the leaked/webcamfilmed trailer is of bad visual quality - anyway, its one of "these" trailers you may never forget. The trailer of something HUgE.
The last trailer i will never forget was for "The Dark Knight".
This tastefull combination of (few) spoken words and this BEAT and this SOUNDs - really great. GoOseFlEsh!!!!
So my feeling on watching the leaked trailer.
This SOUNDs.. this BEaT... this VOiCes... GoOseeeee.......fLesHHHHhhhh.............
I am not sure if its "heartbreakingly unfair" for the fox manager that this leaked - maybe the foX management/markeTinG tries "new ways" of making things "interesting" - by LIMItIng information to a MiniMum, spreading InFormation just like "drops" here and there, and IF information goes (of cause controlled..) out - present it in a BaD quality so that peoPle DONT REALLY SEE ... and the LESS you SEE, the MORE your PhAnTAsY does its job... like in Alien1, it would have been very boring to see a 4 Minute detailed visual description of the Alien - it makes it interesting that you DonT see the Whole Thing, just EnOuGh that your sick phantasy can FullFill the ReSt - insiDe your BraIn.
So they CoOk our bRains on a very small flame.... :-)
JeSsos - i CAN't WAIT ProMetheUs to CoMe!!!!!

MemberOvomorph12/10/2011ive yet to read of someone that say that the trailer was disappointing ...even if you see basically nothing ...now immagine to see it in HD for the first time and i can understand the dissapointment of the FOX guy ...
IS a kind of trailer that push you to see the movie ... the music mix is also excellent and with the few words and screams build already alot of tension !

MemberOvomorph12/10/2011Seems like FOX is playing the "Less is more" card.

MemberOvomorph12/10/2011I didn't find the music all that incredible myself but it was okay. It is possible that was some canned music or it was made just for the trailer.

They accomplished what the Fox people should have done this early and not reveal anything. I mean they could have put Prometheus as the title of this and it would have worked for me.

MemberOvomorph12/10/2011Does anyone else feel a bit disappointed that they are using some of the score from "Alien" and also a slightly different version of the score for "Inception" mixed together....
I was hoping they would create something completely new and original that would be unique to Prometheus....
I don't like the way they are stepping on the score of the original film as I think it is taking slightly away from the original film...
Every big budget film now is using the Inception score, I'm thinking of Transformers 3 etc....
By using the same music from Alien your basically saying "yeah this is a prequel"...!
I want Prometheus to a be a stand alone film that tells a separate story to any of the other films yet revealing some information, not all, on the Space Jockey... Therefore they should spend as much time as needed to create something truly unique....
The way the Prometheus title gradually enters the screen is fine with me as it's just the title... the score however is far more important as it invokes an emotional feeling while watch any film...
Example, in Alien there is a wide shot moving away from the Nastromo after the face hugger has died, I think, the sound track gives you an un-easy feeling that not is all well... Another one is that in "The Dark Knight" pretty much every scene the Joker is in the same music is playing giving a sense of unrest or what ever you want to call it...
What ever happens I hope Ridley and who ever is creating the score they stay away from the late Jerry Goldsmith score as it should only be used in Alien and that they create something new for Prometheus...
Do we really want the Alien score to be used/exposed as much as the zenomorph was in Alien4 and AVP/AVP:R........

MemberOvomorph12/10/2011Very much agree Paddy but I don't think we can judge the movie by the trailer. The marketing department that makes the trailers and teasers have one goal, to get as many tickets as possible sold. A good filmmaker just wants to tell an interesting story that they are proud of.

MemberOvomorph12/10/2011I certainly hope your right about that Biomechanic.....
Plus I thing the Marketing Department have a shit job already with Prometheus...

MemberOvomorph12/13/2011If you guys take a look at the original Alien trailers you will notice incredible similarities to this leaked trailer in both editing and sound scape! Fantastic.
