MemberOvomorphNov-17-2012 10:08 AMScott talks about a preview scene that was not carried out in the Prometheus project, I just read it and find it very interesting.
October 12, 2012
[b] Among the commentary's other insights is Scott's explanation for casting Guy Pearce as a 96-year old man. Because of the way cryogenic sleep is portrayed in the film, Scott imagines a world wherein crew members are provided mental exercises to keep their brains from atrophying. A scene was planned and never shot that would have seen a younger Peter Weyland.[/b]
[i]"I had every intention of showing him as a younger man on board the super yacht in the cyber-Mediterranean with a lot of cyber-girls," Scott says. "As if he was going to say, at 96, 'If I'm going to into a cyber-sleep and I can select that sleep, I may as well be in my prime at 42 with some super-girls having a jolly good time and doing it for two and half years.'"[/i]

MemberOvomorphNov-17-2012 11:30 AM I wondered if he always writes that way or if he was deliberately going for a comic book tone, which the movie somewhat had. Maybe later drafts will tell. until then, SMASH TO BLACK.

like that, the first word ... you know what his style reminds me of? A grinning arm-waving children's entertainer talking down to his pre-teen audience (oh, just like his script).

Scene 1: Isle of Skye crescent shadow landing zone (descending the gangplank, splish) TWELVE FEET TALL, erm how do you 'show' that height? How do you show 'twelve feet tall'? I mean, you know, without normal-height humans to reference against?
[/list]
Actually, Lindelof writes like a trainee Copy Writer, trying too hard to 'sell a product'.
Well ... FWAAAAAAASH ... should I (force myself to) read on?

MemberOvomorphNov-17-2012 4:09 PMive forced myself to read it all now and i forgive him even for the HORRIFIC TUNA! i made a potentially unpopular favourable critique on the main thread (cringes in anticipation of attack by angry lindelof hating die hard Alien sequel fans)

AdminPraetorianNov-17-2012 7:06 PM@caenorhabhditis; The best line in that script IMHO = " It’s SHAW. She is dirty, but sexily so." I put it as my signature. XD

the T.E. Lawrence (of Arabia) was a GAY man, and a covert operative for MI6 (isn't every modern day terrorist?) in the war against the arabs.
