the Cast of Alien 1979 Acted Colder than Prometheus

The story of Alien is written on the backs from begining to end a bit on each card.

paulr: Me too and I agree with the music ... Although I turn off just before the chestburster scene... The creature itself unnerves me a bit after 30 yrs and I don't really like the depressing vibe of every1 getting skull fucked 1by1 an I must of watched the movie more times than I care to count ..The first 40 are the reason I wanted to work in films in the first place..

The crew of the Nostromo was pissed at getting woke up halfway home. The crew of the Prometheus is excited about finding a new race.

Good question but it's obviouse that the Prometheus crew are going on a mission that is exciting at first. In Alien they are done, on there way home to see friends and family and just like most companies they give them more last minute work and send them out to hunt a distress signal. Thats why they are cold. Plus they probably get paid way less than the Prometheus crew.

Yes, scientists in the US seem to get paid well. Scientists in the UK... not so much.

Except for a fleeting smile between Shaw and her boyfriend, I haven't detected a whole lotta warmth in the trailers so far. lol

"..Except for a fleeting smile between Shaw and her boyfriend, I haven't detected a whole lotta warmth in the trailers so far. ." It's been over 8 months since this poster made this point.. And after seeing this movie there is not much warmth, humanity connection amiong the charactors. True the movie depicts more warmth between Shaw/Holloway than in the trailer. Would scientific people on the Prometheus exhibit a greater warmth than the working class depicted in Alien? For all of the religious overtones in our movie there is a surprising lack of humanity shown by the cast toward the other charactors.

The crew of the Prometheus were largely strangers. No real reason for warmth. The crew of the Nostromo weren't and were probably heartily sick of each other. No real reason for warmth.
