MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 5:48 AMSo I was checking [url=http://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?topic=43427.0]AVP Galaxy[/url] this morning as I usually do, and I stumbled upon someone that has supposedly seen an advance screening of the film.
The guy writes a little preface:
[i]"Hello after searching online to discuss prometheus i found this fan site. I along with others who sent comments via facebooks 'areyouseeingthis' were invited to see a special screening of Prometheus in London. I sent a facebook message on it how amazing the trailer looked and how I'm not a scifi fan but this has hyped me up for the film. I got a PM via email from 20th century fox who invited me to see the film. I didn't have to pay for ticket but i did have to pay the £67 in travelling expenses."[/i]
I've read his description of the plot and...well. Its different. Nothing like we've heard before. He doesn't push to hit any of the plot points that we've discovered through our collective analysis on this forum. And his plot description answers a really BIG debate a lot of us have been having here. I can only find one contradiction to what we already (think) we know.
I would suggest giving this a read just out of curiosity. Please let me know what you think.
[Just a quick addition:]
There is one factor that makes me think this might actually be real:

And this quote from Arthur Max (production designer) from an interview in SFX magazine:
[i]“This race of interplanetary visitors who have given us upgrades – mentally and physically – over the millennium”. [/i]

Co-AdminMemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 8:54 AMThe original thread's title was:
PROMETHEUS ADVANCED SCREENING I WAS THERE
I moderated the post with MAJOR SPOILERS WITHIN!! so that people had any hint of spoilers was in it, and then another one of our staff members deleted it because they felt the original poster had violated the Forum rules, here for your perusal........

MemberFacehuggerMay-14-2012 9:06 AMI read it and here's why I am dubious. SPOILERS TO FOLLOW
1. It says the little snake snaps at people and then gets into Fifields suit. It wasn't fifield saying "it's in my suit!" Nor is it Fifield's mouth it jumps out of toward the third female's neck. Which he never mentions. (shame on me for not remembering her name, but she's not hot)
2. It says weyland gets to the ship all by himself and shoots david a lot. Does he shoot him so much that his head pops off and starts rolling around? How does he get infected and turn into an Engineer so fast? Because there is only an Engineer in the room with David's decapitated body.
3. He says Shaw and Holloway have a "make out" session and he has no idea how her fetus gets infected. They straight get it on and it should be OBVIOUS how that twisted little bun got in the oven.
This was a well written, well thought out hoax.
Safe? Of course he isn't safe, but he's good!

pachucasunrise
MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 9:10 AMAlright, I caved. My honest thought? I'm about 65% sure it's fake. It's missing some pieces here and there, and while the ending is... tantalizing... it relies too heavily on support from a sequel to even be able to stand on its own. RS has said a sequel would be possible, not required.
That being said, if this does turn out to be real... well done! I'll still be there at 12:01 AM June 8th, enjoying the hell out of myself.

your fascination with bacon is totally awesome, and I agree with the spoiler tag thing and I totally don't mind it was taken down by what you said I just don't like people getting beat up for nothing I've just seen it (you know I have) a few times so I just wanted to say I think we should try and be mature to outsiders look, I didn't even get a chance to talk to him on here because it was gone so quick and then he got banned before I could even explain to him to read some other posts to get an idea of how things are and to put a spoiler tag or whatever.
yes I prefer here than avpgalaxy though those dudes are really whacky sometimes

MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 9:20 AMYet another load of codswallop.
And what does the seeming similarity to Arthur Max's comment prove?
Do you really think the weirdo who wrote up this latest hoax wouldn't have read all the same stuff/seen all the same clips/etc. that all of us here have?
Seriously... if I was up to it I could write up a doozy of a fake 'advance screening' review and plaster it all over the internet - just by putting together all the information we already have.
Fortunately, I've got better things to do with my life than go around hoaxing people.

Co-AdminMemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 9:27 AM@SaintsSinphony, I agree with you that it was quick to happen, the staff member responsible is still finding his legs as a Moderator here and just thought he was doing the right thing
[quote]I just don't like people getting beat up for nothing I've just seen it (you know I have)[/quote]
Yeah, I have. It sucks, but like I said, no one is afraid to use the voice the Internet affords them. Unfortunately it happens to the best of us, we are all human. I think :-P
[quote]yes I prefer here than avpgalaxy though those dudes are really whacky sometimes[/quote]
Man, I'm pretty hard-core when it comes to sci-fi, and I try to analyze everything I see and hear to come up with a logical conclusion for anything I'm interested in, but those guys are something even I cannot handle in large doses.
And bacon is just friggin' fantastic :-D

MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 9:34 AM...well ....i said it before and I will say it again....it's a good story...weather fake or real......i can think of way worse ways this plot could play out!!...their did not seem to be any time travel involved at least and it was'nt over complicated either...with plenty of action and gore....just the very ending to me sounds kinda boring ....not that i could ever really envision what happens in that last few minutes.....but neither could the writer of this supposed plot apparently...
And it seems almost too short to fit into 2 hours....but he could have left out a whole bunch of things while he wrote it and getting characters names wrong is hardly any base for people to call it fake....especially if his not a sci -fi fan!
But part of me is still hoping it's fake...just cause I did not wanne get spoiled to that degree (IF...it turns out to be the real plot!)....and after saying that...reading someone's rambled down account of a movie he saw is hardly the same as seeing the movie play out in 3d in an actual theater....so i am every bit as excited as before!

MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 9:34 AMI read the first 2 paragraph's and I knew it was rubbish ...because it didn't get me gripped ... I will read the whole lot and won't be put off at all ...
That review has more holes in it than the TEA BAG I just used ... plus, there's too many 'I thinks' and 'I believes?' in there ... I do know that if i saw that movie I would be able to write the whole thing out in pure detail ...
And I wouldn't really say it was well written or well thought out ... just a bad hoax ... ;) ...
The reason why a majority thinks it's a good review is because I would've taken into account peoples reactions from a few forums whether to include this or take that out ... therefore you have what people like ;) ...
I've gone to buy a new coat ... cos I might need it later ... lol ...

If there was a screening, it must have been in the Queen's bomb shelter for absolutely no news to be released about it.......................

I think some people wanted to have a bit more of a spoiler warning but some people don't mind it's been bit of a back and forth on this issue
I"m going to give my tablet a piece of bacon through the usb port and see if it runs faster......................well that didn't go so good

MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 9:55 AM@Saints: No it doesn't quite work that way. You see, sometimes Dave puts some streaky bacon into my empty memory slots, after about 5 minutes they're hot and all crispy. My smoke sensors do however pick up the lovely fumes, but do I trigger a smoke alarm? Hell no!

MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 9:56 AM@Mentos
I am part of those who want to read it anyway and who think the link should be back in.
However, I have to agree with anyone saying that it deserves proper warning both in the title and before the link. Hence it made sense to have it removed.
If you put in back in, or even just because of the kind of discussion it brings, you might want to change the title then...

MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 9:58 AMI don't mind spoilers, i won't like it more or less because of it.
it should be warned.
Me to, i'm not so sure it's legit, but i kind of like that way haha.

MemberDeaconMay-14-2012 10:00 AMwell i just gone to the site and copied the Spoiler onto a Notepad and saved it...
I copied the txt fast so i never got to see what its about apart from the first Paragraph and it does look to be going the route i thought as far as Creation, Chariots of Gods... But we kind of all knew that anyway with the Holloway and Shaw Briefing etc.
So i have saved that plot and i will read it once i seen the movie....
I do not want to read much of it as it would spoil the movie if it proved legit.
I did that with the thing i came acrosss a Script and i read a few parts from the begining and then stopped myself... once i saw the movie indeed that script was proven correct.
This is going to be a massive movie and i dont want to spoil it and i guess i am going to have to consider not comming on here much if at all as i think the closer May 31st comes the more Spoilers we will see.
I have a collection of my theories and i will compare them to that plot and the actual movie and see how close i was...

MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 10:04 AMI created a thread with no spoilers.
The thread contained a link to another page that contained the spoilers.
The thread gave you the option to view the spoilers, but you didn't see them in posted in the thread its self.
The thread politely prompted discussion, if you chose to click on the link.
Someone fill me in on the big issue with this?

iapetus
MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 10:10 AMI created a similar thread (my only one) about the twitter-spoilers.
It can be presumed the discussion about the spoilers will almost necessarily include spoilers itself. Even when you try and keep everything clean.
So, seems most people on both side wouldn't mind that spoilers be revealed, provided it's done with a warning.
I guess the title to your thread holds to what you post just as much as to what may come afterward...
maybe we should all just relax, change the title so everybody is happy, and let things roll nicely from now on.
We all now it's a fake cause 'elongated banana head' doesn't apply to Predators anyway...

Cypher
Co-AdminMemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 10:14 AM@Mentos, it was more to do with the way it was originally posted here in regard to the spoiler thing. I didn't remove the link cause I want to see you fail or anything like that, I actually had some other people PM me and ask me to remove it, that's all. Just trying to keep the peace, like I said. No offense, bacon sammich? :-P

MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 10:22 AMjust read it and i thought it was pretty good. No idea if it was real or not, but whoever wrote it made something a lot more plausible than just about everyone else has. Do I think (if it's true) that the film is ruined for me? Nooooooooooooo way. I knew exactly what was going to be in the (then 76 messaged) thread when i opened it, but then had to go and google for the thread on another site to read it.
i remember the hype for star wars when i was 6-7. I had star wars figures before i even saw the film. I had read the comics, i knew exactly what was going to happen in every scene, and to this day i have still never seen a better movie. if all a movie has going for it is 'surprise' then i'll go without thanks. Like I said, i've no idea if it was real but it was entertaining, and had enough originality to hold itself together.
the thing it didn't have any explanation of, is why the ******** would have made a giant head of themselves, so, on that basis i suppose i reject it. But, if the final film is close to that i'd be happy.
But it sounds like what i'd have expected from Spaihts, not Lindelof. But then I don't think i could have written as much as that guy did about the last movies i saw, and i never remembered the characters names in it either, so if he wasn't a prometheus fan i'd be surprised as hell.
Anyway, if people really don't want spoilers why are they in the thread that has them. It's very very simple to make yourself spoiler free for this movie, don't go on the forums.
