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?

Good try, but like others have pointed out, there are far too many spelling and grammatical mistakes. Some good ideas here and there, but official? No way.

I say the spelling, gramar and usage erors alone give it away. Comes across as an ambitious but flawed high-school effort. No offense intended to any high school students on this list - I just hope your own writing skills are better than this. I still say the really interesting stuff is next door on LV-427!

Whew.... I don't know after reading it again, I'm dubious. Like someone has put allot of thought into making this script coincide with all the trailers and the speculated themes. And remember scripts are not meant to read like novels, the dialog, grammar and descriptive passages are only a an underlay of a film that can evolve with production and actor input, it's just basically a detailed storyboard. I hope it's not the script though

I shoot video for a living and I work with scripts from clients all the time. To me, this seems like an early draft, and very very real. What we see on the screen will probably be VERY close to this script. Criticizing the grammar and loose dialog is a bit silly. Scripts go through many revisions before making it into the actors hands. Many times the dialog is meant to be improvised so don't get too caught up in those issues. If this is fake, someone went through a TON of trouble to make it appear real. Like, a TON of trouble. Its a ton of writing, all of it making sense and being far far far far too detailed and convincing. I haven't read the whole thing, but in skimming it I am impressed. If this is fake, its the best fake script I've ever read. I think its real.

@ Flacnvinyl - its defo fake... it claims the red lasers are of SJ origin and that they act as an atmosphere barrier, yet in the teaser for the new trailer we clearly see one of the crew throwing orbs up that generate these red lasers. All the writer of this script did was refer to scenes we have seen in the leaked and official trailer, as a way of fooling us as to its credibility but the most obvious mistake it makes is its interpretation of two seperate scenes as one scene - see the news section regarding this screenplay to see what I am referring to.

@Snorkelbottom, Flacvinyl is probably the same guy responsible for this crock. He certainly does not 'work with scripts from clients' as anyone in the industry could work out it was amatuerish rubbish within the first few lines. Simple mistakes lke using "INT." for an Exterior shot and different spellings of place names (screenwriting software stores place names, etc.) kind of gives the game away.

Well I've read it all and if it is fake it's a very very good one. Whomever has written this has done a great job but it's full of bad grammar and lots of spelling errors. I can only maybe suggest someone had to retype it from an original and went over it with a spell checker. I watched the trailer lots ofttimes and read this thoroughly, there's no holes and also has bits from the new sneak peak of the march 17th trailer so m inclined to believe this is genuine. It's very well thought out if t is fake. Well done to who ever wrote this however if it is real....it's not the story I was hoping for.

hello all, to me this seems really fake. 1) I hope someone being paid to write has a better grasp of english grammar than this. 2) Instead of FTL for faster than light, it says FTI everywhere. 3) as others have pointed out some of the plot doesn't jive with elements we've seen in the trailer. 4) the dialogue and characters are terrible - too much jargon like "cool" for me to believe this is how scientists in a Ridley Scott flick would be speaking.

All i know is if i was employed in the industry and was given the Privilege to be in possession of a ridley scott fim script i would guard it with my life . I haven't read it so i cant make comments on the content but any script leak for this i view with scepticism. As someone has pointed out whatever draft it is, supposing its genuine, will almost certainly be altered in the film process and editing etc.

@ Diesektor - Its FAKE... 1. The red lasers are human technology, from orbs, as shown in the teaser for the new trailer. 2. There is no mention of the mutant having elongated limbs, as he so clearly does in the teaser for the new trailer. 3. It claims that Holloway puts one his helmet, but not completely and gets sprayed with something, burning him and the crew rush to remove his helmet. These two scenes as seen in the original trailer are not of the same person - Holloway in pain is wearing a yellow bonnet-cap, whereas the crew member with the smoking helmet does not. 4. Two Derelicts on neighbouring planets, both holding a deadly cargo. Don't think so. 5. It claims Vickers leaves the Prometheus before it sets off to collide with the derelict. The teaser for the new trailer shows Vickers pod ejecting from the Prometheus mid flight. 6. There is no mention of the rolling Derelict crash, as clearly seen in the original trailer. 7. There is also no mention of the derelict flying upright, as seen in the teaser for the new trailer. The list goes on and on... This script/screenplay is a FAKE.

I have the new details of yet another 3rd leaked fake script in which FRANTZ bites the head off of Naomi Repace and then jumps into an exercise tube with Charleze Theron and starts speaking to earth in Idris Elba's Voice.

Hey guys, This is why people sign NDA's (Non-Disclosure Agreements). Every script has a tell. We'll never know what it is. Even if we worked on the movie at a level where we had one in our possession, we wouldn't know what it is. Only the entertainment lawyers know. If this is leaked, whoever leaked it, will be hearing from them as soon as they trace the source.
