Second Leaked Script

Mr. Ripley

I read the first several paragraphs of the "leaked script" and stopped reading for two reasons. 1. I liked where the story line was heading and if this is the actual script, I decided that I don't want it to ruin the mystery and experience for me. 2. On the other hand, I find it very difficult and damn near impossible to believe that this is an actual script because there are way too many spelling and grammatical errors through out it. For example, they're, their and there, you're and your, and it's and its are misused constantly through out. Also, they refer to a "migraine" as a "mind grain" and they call "duct tape" "duck tape". This can't be an official script because any script writer that doesn't know basic high school grammar should not be writing at all. I can see one or two errors here and there as being acceptable, but with as many as I saw in the first several paragraphs, it makes it very difficult for me to believe that this script is legitimate. An amateur had to have written this. The one thing that sealed the deal ultimately for me in the first several paragraphs that lead me to believe that this script can't be real: How in the hell is it that the ship's mechanic/engineer doesn't know what an FTL drive is? That's like the main component of the ship. How is he going to fix it if it breaks down?

I am sceptical as well Mr. Ripley. I will refrain from using any of the terms found in the leaked script here just in case, but I did find the name of the planet they are visiting to be very metaphorical - especially linking with the Prometheus legend. But I too stopped after a small read. The story does sound compelling, and believable. As I said in the news post - take with a TABLE SPOON of salt. We've had fake leaks before.

Also read a few lines but stopped because it was getting stupid. Don't think this is real at all.

I've updated the news post and am calling it a fake. I read more into it and you guys are right. Mind you, some parts were interesting. But I'll say this one's a fake. Fair enough to assume.

I'll read it and let you guys know what I think. But already I think I'm leaning the same way.

I've read a few lines and it really looks fake to me. I don't know how to describe this, but I feel like it has that "amateur" feeling and besides, dialogs seem to be dim and boring, too much typical.

It's a very carefully-pieced-together-from-everything-we've-seen-so-far fake. That's about it. Has elements of the real thing but yeah, I call fake.

Now that I've read all that script I can't stop laughing : DDD Everything was so poorly written, I don't have any of the writing skills, but even I could've done it better : DD And that duel in the end? It's just horrific.

I don't think a person who could write something like this is able to be creative while having to be heavily analytical at the same time. And there's a darn lot to analyze as to not "slip up". I mean are there any chronological errors in the script? Does it not explain...pretty much everything? Even the viral campaign, and Ridley's own musings? Does it not restrain itself to themes that are common within the Alien franchise? Then, assuming you can give a big tick to all those points, you then start to consider the length of it... I think it's legit.

They will. 90% of the speculation until now has been negatively influenced by robotpo's fake plotline even though some of us were there at IMDB when the original post was made. In fact, even this fake is influenced by it. Why? Easy, just scroll a few pages and read. It has the name "Mudow" which came from robotpo's mind, and thanks to that fake Dickie interview (also using concepts from that fake plotline like the "skeletal monsters") it's being touted as official, even freaking Wikipedia is refusing to dismiss it. Things can only get worse.

Tough call. I have a feeling this might be real - BUT if it is it's not a shooting script, it's an early draft. Early drafts often have typos, that not uncommon at all (damn, a lot of shooting scripts do too). What suggests this might be fake though is the terrible exposition. Too many info dumps of people sat around explaining BIG IMPORTANT THINGS. BUT - that could also just mean it IS an early draft - often scripts are hammered out (typos and all) to get the basic plot down, and then it's decided how better to deal with exposition issues. Tough call. Hmmm.

think how many absurd theories we have to read every day on the net regarding REAL history when just for a movie there are already 12918 fake plots/speculations and 1203428 wrong belivers of them . I remember some months ago someone getting angry here because we told him that a fan made trailer of prometheus ( made 1 year ago !! ) was obviousely fake ...

Script is defo fake, I pointed out one obvious reason as to why, and the new teaser for the next trailer also proves the script is fake.

I find that moment where Holloway confesses his feelings to Shaw very ridiculous. They were arguing like children in a "yes you're - no I'm not" way. And first time for Shaw? I can't say it couldn't be that way, but uhm it's still weird, because I keep thinking that her character is in her early 30s or something like that. Or maybe Shaw is just that 'forever alone' type : D

In this new FAKE script none of the characters stand out, they have no character.
