MemberOvomorphMar-13-2012 3:40 PMThere have been a few high profile movies in the past couple of years that had "leaked footage" online. Wolverine is the only one that comes to mind at the moment. Leaked footage is in parentheses because it's been suspected that the studio actually leaked the footage themselves to drum up buzz about the movie. No doubt if it's a good scene it could help the film. I think Prometheus is a prime candidate for this tactic. I'm gonna call it now and say that it will happen to this film ahead of release. I don't think it would be anything that would spoil it for anyone, just something to whet (I think thats how you spell it) their appetite.

....it's like a law ;) I've been thinking the same thing though. I so want to watch it 'live' otherwise it's like watching a hockey game after the fact. But after a day of partying....I just may have to watch it on the net. What's your take?

MemberOvomorphMar-13-2012 4:09 PMI'm gonna wager 3 guineas with you on this one cinefan, and say that not one precious morsel of Prometheus will be seen before we're meant to see it!

MemberOvomorphMar-13-2012 5:33 PMI called it right around the Superbowl on a thread regarding a new trailer saying there wouldn't be a new one for about 3-6 weeks (this week is 6 weeks)
You're on @Enderwiggin, by the way what the hell is a guinea?

MemberOvomorphMar-13-2012 5:39 PMA guinea is some form of ancient hilarious currency that I though I'd gamble with. Good call on the trailer but I really hope you're wrong on this one!
I remember that Wolverine footage and it made a mockery of the movie seeing the CGI half finished.

MemberOvomorphMar-13-2012 6:37 PMIts a tough one, I dont really want to be blind drunk watching it and I want to watch it live, but if I leave the pub and tell my friends I'm going home to watch a trailer for an upcoming science fiction movie..... they probably wont talk to me anymore.
