Just saw over at Ain't It Cool News a clip of the Prometheus landing. Pay attention to Idris Elba, his hat goes from not being there to being there and then not being there when he goes up to the bridge controls. Hopefully this will be fixed by release. Get to it, CGI people! [url=http://www.aintitcool.com/node/55681] [/url]

It might be, but the footage looks heavily edited, thus some relevant parts could be actually missing here.

Ridley Scott will eventually tell us how the Queen was born. Right now we have the Deacon; coming soon the Mercury, the May and the Taylor.

The footage is heavily edited as Mr.Monty said above....they just did this for the 1 minute release. I work as an editor and this def has been cut for public release. No sense in getting all upset over it....they are just being big teases.

VERY edited. There's a digit or two missing from Alba's "countdown" to the actual landing, too.

I think Ridley is actually paying homage to Igor's moving / disappearing hump-back in Young Frankenstein.

I'd say that the edited countdown is a homage to [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lp_PIjc2ga4]Elektronik Supersonik[/url]

It's not an error, it's mega- edited.

I think they left some digits missing in the countdown on purpose to make it blatantly clear that the landing scene has been edited.

Also, the PROMETHEUS name on the ship that is very visible is a WATERMARK like, the real name of the ship is near the front of the ship in darker tone and smaller text....

I don't think a guy like RS would leave that in the final cut. I was watching an old Rockford Files episode. The driving seen had him in his trusty Firebird except it kept changing from a '75 to '76 between cuts. Made you laugh. But that's TV. I think Prometheus will be a masterpiece and perfect.

I'm curious, you watched a trailer for an upcoming Event, noticed this, and it bothers you... or is a...concern... why.... exactly... again?
