Necronom 4
MemberNeomorphSep-13-2012 8:25 PMToday, i was watching an interview with Idris Elba (Capt. Janek) on YT. In the interview he says (as have many of the other cast members) that Prometheus is a stand alone film, he was actually very adamant about it. WE know that Prometheus IS NOT a stand alone film.
But, that got me thinking that maybe the 10 11 12 isn't just the date of the Blu Ray release in the US, but also the date of the ACTUAL prequel release? That tells the story of the Space Jockey on LV 426? It might actually only be a short film, with no human characters in it? It would be reasonable to assume that maybe he used the sets of Prometheus to shoot a short film about that SJ and his cruel demise.
What does everyone think?
The poster was good though!

MemberFacehuggerSep-16-2012 2:34 PMLOL dont start back on that numerology - its just coincidence !
And yes officially they didnt know if a part 2 was going to be made on the 5th of june - they announced the moment they knew this more recently. And also logically they would want to take any risks till they knew prometheus was going to make enough dollars so it makes sense that way too.
Of course I hope that loadsa secrete stuff has been going on but it doesn't look too likely that a part 2 was confirmed before recently! But heres to hoping and hats off if they kept that under wraps!

MemberOvomorphSep-16-2012 6:52 PM@djamelameziane: That's pretty much what I said! It is unlikely if not impossible to keep something this big under wraps for that long and with so many people involved. Yet I'm still hopeful something great will be revealed that day. Even if it's just another piece of viral campaign, I don't mind.
However, Ridley Scott and Damon Lindelof have stated before that date, that there might be more than just one instalment needed to tell a story of that magnitude and complexity.
For a long time I was convinced that with that sort of budget, the time spent on principal photography and knowing that all the LV-223 related sets had been taken down for good, one could expect a '2 for 1' stunt. Let me also remind you about that mysterious filming in Alicante, Spain that never happened, or did it?
The opening day of the NY ComiCon sounds more like a coincidence to me than obvious numbers, although it seems an appropiate occassion for announcements of that kind. But as for the numerology in this particular case, coincidence just isn't good enough for me! No offense to 'necronom 4', I thought I was doing better than throwing in a reference to the Illuminati or any other satanic worship conspiracies.
If all this effort (i.e a dedicated website with references to big literature) is made just to announce the DVD/BluRay release (which we already know by now), then this would be more than just embarrassing. Furthermore, don't forget that the 10.11.12 date has been in the [url=http://www.weylandindustries.com/timeline]timeline[/url] section of the viral Weyland Industries website since the day it went online, and it marks the 'official registration' of Weyland Industries.
And yes, I'm also getting tired of seeing this topic being discussed over and over. But having said that, it helps immensely to beat time, doesn't it?
@necronom 4: Thanks for acknowledging my previous comment, I'm still not sure if anyone else has come accross that before, and if it may have been discussed to bits in other threads already. But I also thought I was onto something there. If that's the case, then we can share credits for it since you got me started with the '33'! ;) Well, time will tell...

MemberFacehuggerSep-17-2012 5:19 AMYes I know about spain - seems like there was space for a short but not a whole part 2 there - they were going to shoot the yacht scene there but I dont think it happened - fishy stuff! So yer I dont rule out part 2 but wow that would be an achievement to keep it secrete! But the old TV series does fit in for all this as well with the launch in NY comic con...

MemberOvomorphSep-19-2012 9:57 PMThat would be cool :) They've done it with other releases...sort of a mini featurette kinda thing that centres around characters that didn't have much screen time...you never know.
I can't wait for the Blu Ray release so I can completely "nerd out" and watch it in hair splitting detail...I've got a 3D Blu Ray player and 55 inch plasma so "sock it too me Riddley!"
I can't wait..groovy man :)
Maybe they'll have an alternate ending...like...the Engineer turns out to be Noomi's dad...;)
