The "spoilerization" of Prometheus - how to react?

There is a VERY good chance those spoilers were all fake. They are somewhat internally inconsistent and people who worked on the film say that she is absolutely wrong.

Just ignore all the nonsense.

dont show test screenings - fcking pointless, have some conviction in your work if youre story has a major plot twist AND you are milking the 'marketing/viral' cow and generating hype - dont release the picture intrenationally over a period of 4 months and expect everyone to keep their mouths (or thumbs) shut for any other film - noone would care - spoilers are out there for every film, they just dont trend. If only we had tweeting of this nature before The Sixth Sense.....one trick ponies like that can be ruined in 140 characters (or indeed much less), noone wouldve gone and M Night Shalabalabingbong would be back flipping burgers. Unless there is a seriously concerted effort to sabotage Prometheus with every plot point - or there is a huge twist that the whole film stands on - Im hoping we can navigate and avoid the spoilers The admins are going to be very busy on these boards - especially in the opening week.

Well, I didn't see Titanic because I knew the ship sank at the end.

This site has provided many clues to the story. A complex story requires the audience to be educated in its mythology to get the maximum enjoyment. This web site and the Weyland site provide a lot of that background material. There may be some spoilers but the movie will be more accessible because of them IMO.

I don't know why people hate spoilers...movies that have twists have terrible rewatch value

After watching an interview with Ridley which took place just after 9/11, he was asked about coming back in the Sci Fi genre. With hindsight I now find his answer back then quite interesting. he also gave his opinion on the differences between the role of the movie maker, and the role of those who are responsible for marketing which he felt required two very different skill sets entirely, along with the fact that he does like to be involved with every aspect of film production, right through til release. I have felt for some time that Prometheus has been in the pipeline for quite a long time and that Ridley has been waiting for the right opportunity to make it. It this is the case then Ridley, and everyone else involved in its production have put in an extremely large amount of patience and effort, and i dont think they would want to see all that effort being ruined by ill thought out trailers and spoilers. I find that some films, do seem to give away too much, and by the time you get round to watching them you discover that the trailers were better than the movie. There are of course films ( which I believe Prometheus is ) that have trailers specifically designed to throw you completely off the scent, and may even have scenes in them that may not appear in the movie. As for how long this movie has been planned over, I am convinced that Niell Blomkamp has been using small elements of Prometheus in his films, District 9 and soon to be Elysium, but is being careful about the timing of his marketing because of Prometheus. From this I think Prometheus is going to be the vangaurd for a lot what is to come down the line for movie goers and its level of success will determine the nature of future releases. There is a lot riding on this film, I am sure of it. I think its a pure case of go see the movie.

I fail to see the problems with spoilers. This site was built on the darn things, and now everyone wants to gripe about them. Sour grapes in reverse! I would go see it if the actual script was released, along with a "making of" documentary from RS himself on BD, and the graphic novel as a digital copy. I've seen many screenplays before films were released and it spoiled NOTHING about the film for me. I say anyone who wants to avoid spoilers should shut down their internet services until June 9th, 2012- and stop hounding us for not sticking our heads in the sand as they have.

I'm not trusting squat until my butt is planted in a movie theater and the movie starts up. From there, I'll believe what's on the screen :-P

I just cannot understand how people can have such a complete lack of faith in what is beyond any shadow of any doubt one of the top 5 Film Directors still alive today and of All Time ! If this thing Sucked IN ANY WAY it never would have gotten this far, Scott never WOULD HAVE ALLOWED IT !!! And I got news, as much as we hate HIM...Giler, AND ALL THE SUITS AT FOX, and everyone else who played any part in making this thing, would have stopped it completely dead in it's tracks after seeing the first crappy "dailys"! I will say this again IN ENGLISH this time... [b]THIS IS A SURE FIRE CANNOT MISS HIT MOTION PICTURE EVENT !!! THE LIKES OF WHICH HAS NOT BEEN SEEN IN THE WORLD OF FILM SINCE THE 26TH OF DECEMBER 1973...THE DAY "THE EXORCIST" WAS RELEASED.[/b]
