Hey guys and gals. I heard this line and thought, the distance is all screwed up. Another script mistake. However, there is an interview with Damon Lindelof where he suggests that this line is not a screw up. So the question is: Is Wayland corporation sitting a half a billion miles away from LV226? Thoughts? [url=http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2012/08/03/prometheus-screenwriter-damon-lindelof-tweets-all/]‘Prometheus’ Screenwriter Damon Lindelof Tweets All[/url] Quote: Charlize [Theron] has a line in the movie where she says, “I wouldn’t be half a billion miles away from every man on earth if I wanted to get laid.” And Neil deGrasse Tyson [the well-known astrophysicist] came out said “This would put her somewhere in the neighborhood of Jupiter, when they are much, much further out.” I chose not to say anything because the line was intentional. It had been dinged before we even shot it. But we stuck by it for reasons I don’t feel like discussing.

To me this is just a comment like we all make... How many times have you said when asked for something or to do something. I will only be a second, or a minute.... when you actually take longer. Or when you say to someone look i already told you a million times, when you never. If they are hinting at that distance being real then either they land on a planetoids in our Sol System, or they have another ship or outpost in the same Zeta Star System. I find both above bizarre and major plot hole if true, well disappointment.

Why does no one bother to read previous comments anymore?? As far as I understood the original post, it is much more about how Lindelof reacted when being asked about this and not to determine an exact mileage to LV-223! I agree that Vickers's line has to be seen as a phrase, at least I bloody hope so. Peace.
