MemberOvomorphMar-15-2012 11:22 PMThats more like it! Btw, the other script got debunked. Guy named 'nineinchwonder'. Ha!

MemberOvomorphMar-15-2012 11:22 PMWell if the vast room is filled with bodies, where did they come from? Are these engineers abductors?

MemberOvomorphMar-15-2012 11:56 PMwhat's in those conveyor belt-like things in the foreground of the star room?
Looks like flesh-colored blobs. I thought nude blanks back when I first saw that image.
I don't even want to know more - this "leaked script" sucks and it's a temptation to read it, but I'm holding back. Is there a consensus yet that's its a fan-written concoction?

MemberOvomorphMar-16-2012 12:05 AMOK, I got there in time to read the excerpt. Then the site went down before I could save the image. My impression from what I saw is that if it is fake then the hoaxers definitely put more effort into it than anything I have seen so far. The admin says that there is more and he will release it later. I think the authenticity of this alleged leak will be largely determined by what is on the site when/if it comes back online. It was really funny because the leak had your standard studio boilerplate about not publishing the contents and they were joking about the site getting taken down just before it went offline. So my feeling is that either this was the real deal and they got their shit jumped or the site is playing a really fun prank. Either way it was a good read and not ridiculous in any way - if that was the real script I would not be disappointed.

MemberOvomorphMar-16-2012 12:16 AMI saved it to my HD, but for once I'm holding off - every script I've read led to a let-down when I saw the movie. Same dynamic that goes on with reading the book first: you play it out in your head and it doesn't quite live up to your expectations on the screen. I started reading a few paragraphs from the thing and got a bad feeling that it seemed too genuine to be somebody's hobby to fake out the fans. Hey, I hope I'm wrong though - I've read all the doubters about the bad spelling, etc.

MemberOvomorphMar-16-2012 4:37 AMErm - this is another fake and I can prove it.
From Jon Spaihts's Twitter:
[url=https://twitter.com/#!/jonspaihts/status/171386970197602304]'The mythical #Prometheus was discussed in dialogue in all my drafts, but the script was then untitled.'[/url]
Note the words - [i]the script was then untitled.[/i] So no genuine Jon Spaihts draft would be titled 'Prometheus'. Which this one is.
Nice try, and definitely better than the last fake to emerge, but still demonstrably fake.

MemberOvomorphMar-16-2012 4:43 AMNothing is debunked, proven fact, or fan fiction until the movie is released.

MemberOvomorphMar-16-2012 5:08 AMSpot on Ender!
Next best thing we can do is wait for that extra minute in the trailer and start asking why none of it was mentioned in any of the leaks.
I just hope to Christ I don't see any African jungle, ships entering warp speed, or Shaw's cocooned ex-Preacher CEO father who only appears in flashbacks.

MemberOvomorphMar-16-2012 6:22 AMCheers Gehirn, also congratulations on the best animated jif btw!
it puzzles me when people use any of the following words in these threads "fact" "proof" "debunked" The irony!
I just hope the trailer has that same mysterious, ominous tone of the first trailer, the music will have a huge effect.

Yeah, it is sexy, eh? LOL
TR was on television like two weeks ago and I was thinking to myself, geez I miss these movies. To think just over two decades ago, you could watch some muscle-bound dude use some innocent Joe as a human shield before throwing him down an escalator and you wouldn't even blink an eye.
Or some midget hooker blowing holes into people after stabbing another guy. It all made sense back then...

Ender
MemberOvomorphMar-16-2012 8:04 AMLike come on? a midget prostitute with a submachine gun fighting with the resistance for air? Thats pure Osacar material right there - best supporting actress AT LEAST!!
TR has actually aged really well - it doesnt need to be remade!!

MemberOvomorphMar-16-2012 8:18 AMOnly way they could have topped that movie would've been to add in a three-titted prostitute!!
Oh Wait.....

MemberOvomorphMar-16-2012 8:28 AMEnder, first off, I couldn't agree more about the choice of music for the trailer. It totally sets the tone. The original teaser ( not the teaser of Saturday's) gave me chills mostly due to the music! Also, I really have a problem with today's Hollywood remaking movies that are still quality. Most of the new films they make are crap....those meant to really draw the masses at least. There, my tangent for the morning. Forgive me, I've not yet had my morning coffee (or anchovies)!

MemberOvomorphMar-16-2012 8:36 AMNot sure if it's legit, but this one looks really better and more interesting than that fake BS script. From this point I'll avoid every single leaked script, fake or not.

Ender
MemberOvomorphMar-16-2012 8:49 AMWhat?? No anchovies?? I dont even get outta bed beore Ive had a bowl of anchovies!!
@Ruth its all well and good to try and avoid these "scripts" I tried not to read the last one and lasted about 45 minutes.
84 days is a long time

MemberOvomorphMar-16-2012 9:19 AMThe first WORD I said when we saw the first trailer for the trailer was,
"LEVETATION"
what I thught stood out the most from that scipt expert thingy, was this...
The very last thing mentioned...
ANTI-GRAVITY !

MemberOvomorphMar-16-2012 4:32 PMIt's a fake all right. Prometheus writer Jon Spaihts just confirmed it via Twitter.
