Ridley tight-lipped!

good try ...we need to ambush him ...show him some ushbucks posts and make him talk .

I have the duct tape and bag ready..who has the car?

Wait a minute. I think the obvious question is being missed here... How the heck did you just happen to meet Ridley Scott?!?!?!?!?!? World-famous movie directors aren't the type of people you just bump into while standing on line at the local grocery store!

why not ? I mean The snark can lie but even famous people leave home sometimes ... and yes they have to go to the local grocery store from time to time ... i had a little shop in a touristic village in italy and i had some famous people coming to buy a screw or some paint .

I have the ether :-D but no car.....

This should be quite an opening. It is the second post I've read when Ridley comments on the first few minutes of Prometheus. According to various posts, the first few minutes of the opening montage will actually be the climax, and then we're walked through the events that lead up to that moment.

I read somewhere that first few minutes will be the starting of world sequence.

I got the car Cain. Lets get rolling.

I met him at the airport on his return from somewhere or other. This was in early Jan this year. He was very chatty and pleasant but would say too much. I kicked myself later cause I should have asked about the new Blade Runner movie. Oh well, maybe next time :-)

Snark, That would be awesome to meet Ridley and to have a little bit of a chat with him. Regards, Rick

That's cool u met ridley

I know. I was on a high for about a week after. Still am really. I just spotted him lining up with everyone else. Couldn't believe it. Drove my wife nuts when I got home. She couldn't understand what the fuss was all about. She not much of a movie fan though.

Thats awesome Snark! The fact you got to talk to him is fucking awesome! where were you and why was he lined up?

He'd just flown back into Heathrow and was in the immigration line.

The Third Junction, You know, that is kinda the way Lawrence of Arabia started.. good point.

It sounds like the first and last 10 minutes of the movie are going to be great.

double post

Now believe it or not i met ridley when my uncle was working on the original alien, it was very brief but me and my sister were taken to the model shop at bray studio where my uncle was working as an assistant dp for the nostromo model shots we had little passes and had a look around the set at bray. I was 12 years old. my sister was 14.

That's pretty cool alteredstate..what a memory to have...thanks for sharing that! Have you seen this [url=http://alienseries.blogspot.com/2010/11/normal-0-false-false-false-en-gb-x-none.html] site [/url]...it might bring on a flashback...in a good way...Cheers!

Thanks for that Nephilim i had not seen that before . Yeah it was a great experience for me and my sis we still talk about it almost every xmas when the family get together although at the time i was a keen model maker myself i used to have the whole collection of The Aurora Monster Model Kits well most of them i recall and i was blown away by my visit to bray.

"good try ...we need to ambush him ...show him some ushbucks posts and make him talk" Maybe ushbuck is going to be the main villain of prometheus... he was on the space jockey's planet for a long time and he was trolling their forums, and every time they banned him, he returned under another name, so they sent the warning signal and killed themselves to end their suffering (that's why we see that space jockey dead in "Alien")

keep the memory alive ; here i am 49 and ready to start the build of the Narcissus from Halcyon

The last model i built was a star trek enterprise back in the early 1990s my other hobbies and work tend to keep me to busy these days but great to see someone else still has the passion ncc1701.

yep , i had to stop the builds for the last 22 yrs , while i had to raise two kids .. they were builds enough ........ next month i start the 1/350 scale enterprise , after the Narcissus the wife will love them in the rec room

I love to paint the finished build its always the best part for me .

alaways the best part i have enough kits to last me the next 10 years , this 1 350 enterprise will keep me going for the next 8 months buy the time i get al l the lights install cant wait untill one model company has the rights to the new prometheus ship , i just might have to jump right in to that build

mmm yeah that's a mouth watering prospect i think i may just have to put everything else on hold and do one of those myself.

i think hardcore movie nerds like us, would much rather meet the directors then the actors lol!

Personally i have always been in awe of the film makers rather then the actors /stars. I would rather meet the artists and model makers /cinema photographers, and directors then any film star . with the exception of michael bay who is a hack lol and charlize theron who is a goddess.

@The Snark: wow! great chance meeting! i think i would have lost it a bit. i ran into William Friedkin as he was exiting a McDonald's of all places so yeah, chance meetings like that can happen. glad to hear Ridley didn't blow you off, and was personable lucky one there The Snark! Thanks for sharing your story

Well lucky you, Snark; at least you got to see him in person. Otherwise, anxious as we all are, as am I, can you blame him for being tight-lipped? If you were creating an epic project you wouldn't want anything leaked either. =P D*mn I can't make a tongue smiley.
