I have hopes that there will be a viscerally disturbing and frightening scene in PROMETHEUS…a la chestburst. Scott said as much during the St. Paddy’s Day Q&A. And yeah…I agree with most, that it’ll have something to do with Shaw. He also said that he is actually embarrassed by the scene…I like it already. Just like in the original ALIEN and H.R. Giger’s work, unnerving but interesting, ugly…but beautiful…you shouldn’t look…but you can’t help yourself. As far as the rating goes…I think that PG-13 has almost become the new R anyway. So, I think they will go the mass audience, family-friendly, boxoffice route. Personally, I prefer an “R” rating for any ALIEN related films. One of the filmmakers who worked on the original in ’79 once said, “If STAR WARS is the Beatles…ALIEN is the Rolling Stones." I fucking love that! That’s the way I feel about…nothing profound…you either get it or you don’t. If yo a squirmin'...at least a little...the filmmakers failed...or you're dead. Personally, I like my “ALIEN universe” films the way I like my women, great to look at, smart, a little humor, mysterious, thrilling, with a little nasty sluttiness sprinkled on top. ~Neurion

@Neurion I totally agree with you. Think of the release of Alien. It's been told the images and violence of Alien 1979 were so graphic and so violent as well as frightening ppl left the theaters due to the fact they couldn't take the "horror." How in this day and age will Ridley Scott surpass this delivery of horror at a PG-13 level?!?,?! Impossible! I'm not the only one eagerly anticipating this film. I'm not the only one with absolute highest of expectations. I want Prometheus' release to scar and horrify it's viewers! I vote for the full R rated release! Nothing but Sir Ridley Scott's unadultered pure version of sic-fi horror! Prometheus is the evolved 20th century version of the genre he created and I want it to be as spectacular, as horrifying as scarring as the first release of Alien! If not better

As far as creepy moments in the trailer, I vote for the guy with his hands in the air approaching a craft of some sort. It became even creepier when the still revealed that the top of his skull had been replaced with . . . something else. Sorry, I can't find the HD still anywhere, it's at 1:12 in this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqZAcjAxomQ&feature=related

I think the question posed to Ridley about the chesterburster scene/will there be a similar "Wow" scene in prometheus was pointed at the actors not knowing what was going to happen in the scene to get a reaction. Not necessarily a chestburster scene, but lots of genuinely shocked and frightened actors.

Andrew, I co-sign that comment: [img]http://pythondesign.com/zombie.jpg[/img] although, now that I clean it up a bit, wtf? It that a hat? [img]http://pythondesign.com/zombie2.jpg[/img]

Ridley Scott is recognized as not merely a great film director, but the preeminent living director in the industry and he will get the R rating that he wanted going into this project..and as a nod to the concerns and marketing sensibilities of Fox, he will also have the PG-13 version.....look for both versions to play side by side in multitheater complexes. At Scott's age, with his past experience, he gets what he wants...Period. And he knows perfectly well how to cut a deal where everyone wins. Guess this thread got diverted from the original focus.....

I believe we've already seen one in the trailer...we simply didn't recognize it as a 'wow' moment, although it is impressive on it's own.....we can't see it as it's intended until we are in a theater. And I also believe it's the first of several in the film, each 'moment' utilizing more and more 3D....the first big 'moment' will be the scene in which the theater in which you are sitting and watching this film is filled with that dazzling image in full blown 3D of the star map room, surrounding you in your seat as well as Fassbender as the screen.
