MemberOvomorph02/9/2012Hi Folks
Instead of a second trailer, I wonder if Ridley will do a 6 minute (or so) prologue - like Chris Nolan did for Dark Knight...
...now that would be perfect!
:-)

MemberOvomorph02/9/2012No, I don't. More often than not these days, the big 2 minute trailers give too much away. It's almost like watching a complete movie in 2 minutes. "Oh great - so they'e put the best bits in the trailer AGAIN... damn it."
The Prometheus Tailer 1 is perfect. It's a homage to the 1979 film, it's mysterious, it makes you ask questions, it looks gorgeous, and it leaves me wanting more... the actual film.
Rather than showing "the best bits" in a second trailer, by showing the actual first 6 or so minutes would really wind people up to a frenzy. We would get to hear the actual music, see actual titles and see it for what it is.
Please Ridley, do it.

Co-AdminMemberOvomorph02/9/2012Gotta say I like that idea. Make you salivate for the rest. I could live with that, and would pay money to watch *shudder* Twilight if I had to. Actually I wouldn't have to watch it, I'd walk out after the prologue :-D

MemberOvomorph02/9/2012I believe AVATAR producers released some kind of pre-release short depicting a future of interplanetary travel & colonization that the story takes place in. So the movie itself can go straight into the good plot as expositions can really kill the mood of the movie. I hope Fox or/and Ridley would choose to release the "Beginning of time" segment as just that.

MemberOvomorph02/9/2012Yep, that's what I want. I would pay money to watch that, then walk out. (Hell, I've already forked out £100 for a pair of 3D Glasses for this film). That's what I think would immediately help to set it apart from the rest of the Summer's big films. OK, so Ridley might be "copying" Chris Nolan's neat idea, but the audience, the studio and Chris himself would still be happy to see 6 minutes of Prometheus. Epic.

I agree 110% with you, I was kind of kidding, but I'm getting anxious, I prefer to be teased, a teaser is welcome,
the trailer is number one mayor at the level of secrecy, provokes curiosity and for the fans and new fans, a lot of attention for wanting to see more ...
