So here's a guy with a real name (Dan Shires) who is apparently in L.A. and works on the 20th Century Fox lot (or something like that). No way to tell he's legit or not, since all he states is that some people saw the film tonight in Cali. [URL]http://twitter.com/#!/vertigowooyay[/URL] (incidentally that [i]is[/i] one of the 'Bones' sets (the TV series) and the data tag on the pic does say it was taken around the time he says it was, although that bit of info could obviously be altered by changing the time on one's Blackberry, I guess). Not sure what to make of this but it could be legit. EDIT: There are no spoilers in the guy's twitter feed unless you consider a reaction of "Holy f*cking [i]fuck[/i]" to be a spoiler :P

I checked, and this is legit. I live in LA, and work for Century Theaters. Fox had a limited/closed screening tonight on site. I'm not quite sure for who, but it's not unusual for studios to show pre-screenings for advertising reps - aka, people who are in the business of buying up time slots for TV stations (e.g. commercials, adverts, or even the Prometheus trailer itself). I have a friend who is a consultant for one of the TV shows produced by Fox, and he confirmed it for me. Aside from that, I know very little.

I'm sorry, guys. It wasn't confirmed like I thought it was. Sometimes I think people purposely tell me the things I "want to hear" just to piss me off. Anyhow, I can't really tell you if this Fox showing was for real or not, and yes, John D. - [i]only obscure nobody's on Twitter are invited to these mysterious 'advanced screenings'...[/i] :-)

I don't believe that for a second... a movie (and let's remember, for Fox this is a business investment, nothing more) and they're still screwing it together a couple of weeks before the (unmoveable) release date? No, it will have been edited weeks ago.
