Hi everyone, have been lurking around for about a week, only creating my first thread on here now, so please be nice. I was surprised no one has yet posted a linked to that yet. A thread on another forum shows tweets from someone who appears to have been participating in an advanced screening **[url=http://www.prometheusforum.net/discussion/825/advance-prometheus-screening-reaction-spoilers/p1]here[/url]** Seems it could be relatively trustworthy as they've tried to trick-check if it was a hoax by a fanboy but it appears to be a 25yo indian girl living in the UK who's genuinely not really into scifi. May be worth checking as it seems there's potentially more to come. Most things only confirm stuff that has already been strongly suggested before, but other elements are potentially major revelations, in particular about the SJ plans. Apart from that, I am also working on translating major points of the special issue of the French journal 'L'écran Fantastique' (of which tiny scans were posted some times ago) to post on here. I'm only including excerpts with potential revelation/confirmation value but it's all pages & pages long. I'll certainly need another few days and will prob post it in several threads with a common title element + Scott interview / Lindelof / etc... Tell me what you guys think is best, otherwise. **potential spoilers** it brings no major über-revelations but yields a fair load of info and elements that together point and confirm important plot issues, like Vickers almost assuredly being Weyland's daughter etc... Cheers

Well that didn't work then lol ... Like I said just be aware people ... whether true or false ... there's gonna be potential 'wanna bees' ... that's all I was trying to say in my other thread ... I'm not even gonna post anything regarding actual spoilers that I come across, out there ...

ermm alright, sorry for while I have been writing this another thread was started on the same topic. Please, consider not blocking this one right away as I'm providing the link and mostly I'd like some feedback on how people would best want me to post stuff I'm translating, for it's quite long...

I think the general feeling is that most on this site dont want to know what happens until they have seen the film for themselves. people who post stuff like this strike me as the kind of kid who couldn't wait till christmas to open their prezzies.

sorry let me amend that comment people who post stuff like this strike me as the type of kid who wouldn't wait till Christmas to open their prezzies, and if they were denied this they would kick off in full brat style till an adult either let them or shot themselves.

possibly. I am sorry if that's the general feeling and I'm breaking some unwritten rule here, really not my intent. For info, as I usually look at spoilers as they don't ruin the thrill of the movie for me, I can tell those are only reaction tweets and replies to some fanboy questions by someone who genuinely doesn't seem too much into it. Hence, it provides a few confirmations and may give 1.5 new pathways that weren't considered until now, but it's really not a give out / breaking of the whole movie. again, sorry if I'm not abiding by any tacit rule

The face that its called a spoiler is all i ever need to know - it spoils the experience and the person who posted it lacks a basic appreciation for other people right to enjoy something unspoiled. if you got married then a mate walked over and siad " oh by the way ive banged your wife, she is good on top" it would take the fun out of it dont you think. If i saw Prometheus tomorrow i would keep schtum, unless my best mate told me he is dying tomorrow and wont get to see the movie i would tell him, thats it. Why ruin it for even one person. if you think im being harsh its because having information that other dont doesn't give you power it gives you responsibility.

@"thereyouareJonesy" Not sure if you're implying anything about me in your posts, but I've been careful to warn for spoilers in the title, not hit readers in the face with said spoilers but only provide a link and warned a 2nd time before I left a potential spoiler within my text. I'm ready to fully accept it if what I posted isn't what people want here, but I hardly see my post as inconsiderate, or that of an uncontrolled brat as you seem to imply. Translating the film crew's interviews is taking me quite some time so if people here don't want it posted either, please come forward saying so too cause I'll spare myself the effort...

I've read her tweets and I think it's fake. Who is she to be able to attend advanced/test screenings before all the critics and so on? It looked like she didn't even know what she was talking about and like she couldn't remember some details. I don't even think screening even happened to be shown. I may be wrong, but it's just my opinion. And also, she was the only person in Twitter to be writing about it. From now, we'll be seeing more fake reviews, I believe.

@"thereyouareJonesy" dude I really don't care much about you being harsh. However I find you def lack the ability to realize not everyone's blast works like yours. On both accounts, it seems like you're giving yourself too much importance, you might want to lay low on that. I wouldn't care in the least if Ridley Scott sat just there in front of me and told me the whole thing up to the very last comma before I'd see his movie. I'd actually love that, and enjoy the movie just as much. So I, for one, was interested. Now, we're on a site where people dissect every single bit of image or sound to know what the movie will be about... maybe some don't want it all spoiled, but I thinks it's a fair bet to say I might not be the only one who wants to read these tweets. Even then, I left you a choice so you're welcome to not read them if you don't want to. I am done with replies on that issue and will now focus on the thread's subject, as all logic being, you shouldn't hang around that thread anymore. For others, again, it's far from giving everything away - at least up to now, don't know if new stuff keeps coming - but leaves a couple very interesting new doors ajar...

There is an VERY good chance that these were all fake. People who worked on the film and helped actually make the final cut have weighed in saying this person certainly did not see Prometheus.

Thx for the messages, guys. Really don't know what to think either, seems fishy for sure. If I was to believe it, it'd be because the theories these tweets would confirm are the ones I originally used to find most convincing/supported (** spoiler**spoiler** like Vickers being Weyland's daughter and the associated side-plot, for in the interview of C. Theron I'll soon post, she says something along: "for an actress it's interesting to see how Vickers growing up with an immensely powerful figure so close to her could influence her character"). It sure is not worth much if it's been debunked by people who worked on the movie, but at the same time, if someone leaked it all out now, I wouldn't really expect them to admit and stand clapping hands... well, don't know...

Thanks for posting that - either way, if it's true or not - it's interesting. I don't feel like it's anything that's ruined the movie for me - most stuff has already been suggested more than once. And I don't see how 'thereyouarejonesy' can say people are foolish to read spoilers, especially when he entered into thread that has **SPOILERS** in the title.... I do realize that saying "spoiler" in this forum is a bit like the boy who cried wolf, but still...

Well i dont want to read the tweets, cause i dont want to be spoiled. But i do want to know from anyone that's read them...is it good news or bad news? Was anything said that makes you think it would be anything but a great movie? (No actual spoiler details please.)

Sorry to point out folks, but this is painfully obvious. Fake. I checked that conversation. Also noted that none of the big name sites including FOX had any of it removed. (Kind of like that "FAKE" script we were leaked a month ago) But yet, when we had that one source claim to have seen the trailer and gave us the description back in December, I think it was. It took FOX all of 2 hours to have it taken down. And for them - accessing twitter and facebook to have posts removed takes minutes. Sorry, but nobody needs to worry about this being spoiler material. As it is not legit. Thanks anyways though!

dreakus, she actually didn't spoil anything at all. All she said was that the movie is gory and then something about some naked/cloak dressed man. Then a thing about Vickers, BUT that was already speculated. When asked about the soundtrack she claimed that she didn't pay attention to it, etc. Lies. And I can't decide whether it's good or not, since she didn't say anything that wasn't speculated before. Of course, a little bit of gore would be nice.

I don't know what to make of it. The info seems in keeping with the story we know so far, and (after reading the tweets) I kind of buy that she isn't really an ALIEN/Prometheus fan so the info is vague. The only real issue I have with this info is...how the heck did she see a screening? The press haven't even got their screeners yet. Plus the fact that a member of PrometheusNews checked her twitter feed and came to the conclusion that she's a young Indian School girl, which puts a massive strike through the theory that she's seen it.

ok, rest assured you can read that, I will not spoil anythings to you. Actually again, *provided* they are legit, even said tweets don't spoil much, if any. Honestly, all it (eventually) does is to confirm some of the main broad plot lines of the movie along hypothesis that have been considered seriously/numerous times on this forum. Not giving you details about which, but as I said, I personally found it to be the best supported theories around and most convincing too (I am not much into overly-intricate clunky scenarii like 'X is the great-great-uncle of Y's xeno-pet and his pinky toe is sent across the Z-dimension to be cloned into Robocop'). In the end, more subjectively prob, I think it potentially sounds just great and very convincingly close to Scott's declared will to make a mix of Alien and Blade Runner, i.e. high quality sci-fi with action/horror/gore + philosophical and moral implications faithful to the Alien universe, Prometheus myth and Scott's background themes. Now again: if it turns true...
