Advanced screening reaction tweets - discussion w/ only links to **SPOILERS**

I'm not going to read the potential spoilers but thanks for the thread. People should have the choice to read or not. I think people that get irritated about threads like this get that way because it's hard for them to control themselves when stuff like this is brought to their attention. Post on!

meh, I don't want to advocate too much for it being true cause I'm still debating that with myself, but it holds a little better than just that... From what I've read, she would be more like a 25yo indian girl living in the UK. Seems she's not particularly into sci-fi movies, she however has declared interest and many tweets about Bollywood movies. Not sure why Fox would have let it go up until now, indeed. I'm pretty sure there's occasions somewhat random people are picked/offered/lucky enough to have advanced screenings we don't know much about but that studios have very good reasons to do... She doesn't really seem like she seeks attention, too, only answering questions and trying to end up people's questions. Best guess at it being a hoax to me is if a friend of hers is very much into it and driving her to troll us all... None of that we really can be sure of for now.

*************** MAJOR SPOILER *************** So following previous revelations made in that girl's tweets, the OP of the thread (='Viscal') on Prometheus Forum carried on chatting with her and obtained she would send him what she could recall of the whole plot outline. We still don't have more info about whether it's true or not but here's the link to the compiled image of her messages *** [url=http://i.imgur.com/923gn.png]spoiler[/url] *** For those who wants the link to the original thread: [url=http://www.prometheusforum.net/discussion/825/advance-prometheus-screening-reaction-spoilers/p1]link[/url] (whole plot discussion starts around page 15) What do you guys think?

I read it. It sounds pretty accurate. Not that many spoilers to it though I don't feel like I've seen the movie yet. Oh yeah and there's a Predator that shows up in the last 8 minutes. . . . . .just kidding

I think is a hoax from a girl/boy that need attention ..... but the most embarassing thing is that Viscal that ask first if the SJ is naked under the cloak .....

I was havin a crack at the lass who has apparently posted the spolier. Posts with SPOILER in the title i can work with that, its the secondary info that gets my goat. There is always some muppet who rolls it into a discussion out of the blue like a big sweaty fart in a lift. Iapetus - Its not self-important to have a strong view and to post it in response to a thread on a forum, thats kind of the point. its really not self important to feel put out on your wedding day if a mate talks about shagging your new wife. Its totally normal to feel Offended ! oh and the dying mate thing thats not self important either ?!? i cant even start to see how that would be really, it would be a bit bloody mean if you didn't tell him/her woudnt it ?? none of my examples are based on actual experience by the way. No dying mates and my wedding day was totally perfect. again really cant see the self important side of this. Its like saying your mate is self-important because he heard the score from a game he recorded and got really annoyed. Are you implying that you shouldn't get excited about things and want to protect that excitement because you look like you only care about yourself, kind defeats the point of individuality.

To follow on for people who don't want to click the link... Still not more info on whether or not it's a reliable source of info. What you may want to know is she's not actually giving out the whole movie. She has only described the events of a part of the movie, though what she says is pretty accurate (definitely includes novel elements and implications regarding story/characters). It is hard to exactly figure how much of the movie it represents but it sure lacks a good part, as it doesn't get at all into the outcome/untying of the events, how things are solved or even less how the movie ends. To me, it at least seems very convincing. Not saying it's true but could easily consider it is and not be disappointed. In that version, a few new elements it gives away (which weren't speculated until now for they were too far off) have a relatively simpler explanation than I was expecting/assuming. It don't consider it deceiving as it can be treated/rendered very effectively that way and I much prefer it than any overly convoluted theories I've read here and there. In the end, I might be wrong and tot gullible but until proven wrong, I'm going to consider it true for it really sticks to the direction I was seeing emerge from all details made available until now.

LApetus is not yours the Hoax ....there is not your honour at the stake . No even an idiot can say for 6 months that is not an alien prequel and finish it with Ellen Ripley being the daughter of Charlize Theron come on !!!! And its so cheap and cheesy that is painful even only to read it .

@Frantz no, I can't recall discussing my honour anywhere around, sorry ;) About Viscal asking if the SJ is naked under his cloak, it actually makes a lot of sense and would tend to confirm it to be true. Not really *spoilers* unless you didn't know he's an Engineer and don't want to know how he looks like and what's that scene but I prefer to warn anyway: *** SPOILERS *** in the interviews I am translating, special-effects/make up artists discuss various techniques they used and created specifically for the movie. They explain how they had to come up with 2 different, specific ways to process silicon prosthetics to finalise the texture/shape on the Engineers. In that part, they explain what look R. Scott required and his inspirations for the Engineers. A mix of Michel-Angelo's David and some paintings from a british artist (name? don't have my journal here). After, they explain how much more complex it was for the 'Dawn of time' sequence (Sacrifice Engineer near the waterfall) because he appears naked (not fully, if we are to believe the girl) and they had to cover his body in very complex prosthetics to achieve the perfect look R. Scott wanted. They said it could have been better and simpler but was all made more complex cause shooting that sequence had to be done over only 2 days. *** /spoilers *** -- I don't recall anyone saying Vickers is Ripley's mother on this thread, on the 'spoiler thread' on the other forum or in the spoilers themselves... To me it only appeared in another thread on this forum. Not sure I really get your point here, sorry. @"thereyouareJonesy" I told you already what I found you self-important about. First, thinking this is not the kind of things people here want to see because it is not the kind of things [i]you[/i] want to see. Since then, people around checking the link said they enjoyed it was posted. Others prob just avoided the thread after it warned about spoilers in the title and text. In 2nd, was just a reaction to "if you think im being harsh its because having information that other dont doesn't give you power it gives you responsibility." that implied I was offended over an internet discussion and sounded a bit 'high horse-y'. That was it and I have nothing against you. Am convinced you're a great guy and respect you having strong views or not wanting to see spoilers. We're achieving having an almost spoiler-free (or clear warnings given) discussion about those spoilers! Gotta love that! Join in and share your hopes about the movie or what you most value/anticipate and fear Ridley Scott might blow.

you are talking things without giving references ...i did read again articles and i dont find the references to nude space jockeys running at the beginning of time ..can you give links please ?

Here are my feelings about unofficial plot leaks like this: they're almost always fictional. Unless they're posted on a reputable website, even one like Wikipedia, then in my opinion they should be disregarded. I remember people doing the same thing before the release of Star Wars: Episode II. When Episode II finally came out, it was very different from all of the scattered rumors over the internet (e.g. like the supposed fight between Obi Wan and Darth Sidious that never materialized b/c it was a false rumor). Anyhow, I followed the "spoiler" link, and I recognized the name: Viscal. He's appeared on several Prometheus blogs all over the internet saying the same thing. I read the "tweeted" conversation, and honestly, it was hard to follow, and it really didn't tell me much of anything at all. To me, a major spoiler would be three or four paragraphs describing the plot in detail. The ones provided in this link were just incoherent ramblings. Sure, there were some minor details revealed, but nothing really substantial. Here's the deal. I find it odd that when someone gets online who has supposedly "seen" an advanced screening of the film, they're always hesitant about sharing any of the goods, as if they've been threatened by the mob. The person in this particular tweet seemed reluctant about sharing any spoilers, which is always a red flag in my estimation. For instance, there was one guy on IMDB who said that he had seen the movie, but when asked to provide details, he didn't want to say anything at all. So why even post in the first place? To me, that's like dangling crack in front of an addict. I am not trying to be rude, and I am certainly not trying to attack the topic creator. I realize he is simply regurgitating what he has heard and seen on the web. We're all guilty of that, and I am definitely the chief of all sinners when it comes to repeating spoilers, whether true or false. However, if I had truly seen the film, then I would tell people all about it, and hold back nothing. However, I have seen nothing on the internet - not one single blog - where a person has claimed to have seen the movie and has given a point by point rundown of the film. This leads me to believe that there have been no advanced screenings, and if there have, then those people aren't wasting their time talking about it on the internet. -Thomas

-Frantz. As for the references, here's the link to the thread that talked about the special issue of the French magazine 'L'écran fantastique' : *[url=http://www.prometheus-movie.com/news/181]thread[/url]* It's how I learned about it and went to buy it the other day, and that's where I'm getting the infos I'm citing. The scans in the thread I linked are poor and images tiny so you can't see much. It's full of interviews of Scott, Lindelof, main actors and head of each main technical/artistic dept (cgi and non-cgi special effects, set artists, concept artists). So none of them blows the whole secret but almost each lets out some elements that altogether are very useful. As I said, I have started working on translating crucial parts but the whole thing is ~60p AND I don't have it with me now, I had to pick my parents at the airport and left it at their place the other day... for others, warning for ***spoilers*** About the 'Dawn of time' scene with the Sacrifice Engineer, I don't have specific url to link you to, really. It has been mentioned in multiple threads about the trailers around here. It's the huge waterfall scene in which a guy in a cloak/cape walks on the edge, on the left of the screen. From memory, Scott acknowledged it was one of the last scene shot. Was done in Iceland in a short time and he himself called it the 'Dawn of time' scene and said it was to appear, as the opening to the movie if I recall properly. Not sure whether or not he himself stated the guy is the 'sacrifice engineer' but other elements point toward that. You'll easily find more stuff about that Pro-tip for people: use the google 'site' function to search a word over a specific site if the forum's search function gives you nothing relevant... for example: site:http://www.prometheus-movie.com sacrifice engineer ->this will bring every page of this site that contains those words anywhere, not only in the title cheers

This is not the first thread here about this twit on twitter. The first thread was created by "viscal"s alter-ego here on THIS site to generate traffic to his site. I was also there when the tweets were coming in and the other site's members were pondering over it. I, personally, lost interest real fast for it is obvious that the twitter is a twit. Mega-Spoliers, we leave for the OTHER site. This site, the one officially linked to by Fox, prefers to keep our distance. This thread will soon be buried into antiquity. Sorry.... It is also turning into a bickering contest which is "off-topic". Please discuss the topic and bypass the petty arguments.

Fake.

Thomas is right. No other reputable site or organization has made any boasting point of saying that they've seen an early screening of Prometheus. I researched the lady in question and from what I could find, she is not connected in any way to any sites/organizations which would be in this field. Again, it does come across as fishy that the conversation would include only her and Viscal... I won't assume that it was staged, but you never know. With the internet, anyone can be anybody and nobody. My gut feeling - it's fake. Very, very fake. Plus, not to mention, FOX has yet to intervene and they have people monitoring sites like this, facebook and twitter daily to ensure nothing gets leaked.. so... yeah.

I don't think it's real either, her descriptions are too vague and she herself is too random a find. I mean IF she was a fan then maybe she would go to that site and spill her guts but she says she doesn't like Sci-fi, and they magically discover her?? No, it's bull$hit. She probably reads our forum, and got her ideas from here. I'm not even joking on that one.

Ok guys, again you're the ones pushing me to advocate for her more than I naturally would, just because most your arguments do not hold. I don't see how 'no reputable organisation has posted about seeing the movie' is an argument. On the contrary, I personally doubt Fox would pre-screen it for die-hard fans like people here, than would without a doubt post the whole thing the minute they're out, if not sneak a camera in. On that, I might just be gullible enough to believe it happens that studios screen movies to random people (or she was just lucky enough to get in a group of 'slightly less than random' chosen people) for marketing or other reasons they have and I have abs no clue about. Then again, she didn't go to 'that site' or massively looked for attention. She tweeted something along 'I have seen the new Alien movie!' (which is a bit of attention seeking, but who wouldn't do that?) and it was picked up by people who *themselves* were looking for clues. I think her tweet timeline has prob been checked by dozens of people since then. Sure, she could be paid by Fox to buzz / mislead us, she could be associated with Viscal to troll us, she may be secretely in love with sci-fi or Ridley Scott's daughter. Seriously, I am positive it can be plain fake. Anyhow, this plot doesn't conflict my initial theory and on the contrary adds major support to some of its elements. Legit advance screening or buzzed-theory, I'm satisfied with it either ways.

It is a fake like the script leaked IMO

Even as "The great thing with tentacles to impregnate" I think I remember I read something similar in a fake scipt. And the rest is part of what we've all seen in the trailers and speculations that have been done about it. (did not reveal anything new or that the rest of us do not know)

Some of those fake scripts that had been circulating the web were actually very interesting to read.
