I read the first several paragraphs of the "leaked script" and stopped reading for two reasons. 1. I liked where the story line was heading and if this is the actual script, I decided that I don't want it to ruin the mystery and experience for me. 2. On the other hand, I find it very difficult and damn near impossible to believe that this is an actual script because there are way too many spelling and grammatical errors through out it. For example, they're, their and there, you're and your, and it's and its are misused constantly through out. Also, they refer to a "migraine" as a "mind grain" and they call "duct tape" "duck tape". This can't be an official script because any script writer that doesn't know basic high school grammar should not be writing at all. I can see one or two errors here and there as being acceptable, but with as many as I saw in the first several paragraphs, it makes it very difficult for me to believe that this script is legitimate. An amateur had to have written this. The one thing that sealed the deal ultimately for me in the first several paragraphs that lead me to believe that this script can't be real: How in the hell is it that the ship's mechanic/engineer doesn't know what an FTL drive is? That's like the main component of the ship. How is he going to fix it if it breaks down?

Well I've read it all and if it is fake it's a very very good one. Whomever has written this has done a great job but it's full of bad grammar and lots of spelling errors. I can only maybe suggest someone had to retype it from an original and went over it with a spell checker. I watched the trailer lots ofttimes and read this thoroughly, there's no holes and also has bits from the new sneak peak of the march 17th trailer so m inclined to believe this is genuine. It's very well thought out if t is fake. Well done to who ever wrote this however if it is real....it's not the story I was hoping for.

hello all, to me this seems really fake. 1) I hope someone being paid to write has a better grasp of english grammar than this. 2) Instead of FTL for faster than light, it says FTI everywhere. 3) as others have pointed out some of the plot doesn't jive with elements we've seen in the trailer. 4) the dialogue and characters are terrible - too much jargon like "cool" for me to believe this is how scientists in a Ridley Scott flick would be speaking.

All i know is if i was employed in the industry and was given the Privilege to be in possession of a ridley scott fim script i would guard it with my life . I haven't read it so i cant make comments on the content but any script leak for this i view with scepticism. As someone has pointed out whatever draft it is, supposing its genuine, will almost certainly be altered in the film process and editing etc.

@ Diesektor - Its FAKE... 1. The red lasers are human technology, from orbs, as shown in the teaser for the new trailer. 2. There is no mention of the mutant having elongated limbs, as he so clearly does in the teaser for the new trailer. 3. It claims that Holloway puts one his helmet, but not completely and gets sprayed with something, burning him and the crew rush to remove his helmet. These two scenes as seen in the original trailer are not of the same person - Holloway in pain is wearing a yellow bonnet-cap, whereas the crew member with the smoking helmet does not. 4. Two Derelicts on neighbouring planets, both holding a deadly cargo. Don't think so. 5. It claims Vickers leaves the Prometheus before it sets off to collide with the derelict. The teaser for the new trailer shows Vickers pod ejecting from the Prometheus mid flight. 6. There is no mention of the rolling Derelict crash, as clearly seen in the original trailer. 7. There is also no mention of the derelict flying upright, as seen in the teaser for the new trailer. The list goes on and on... This script/screenplay is a FAKE.

I have the new details of yet another 3rd leaked fake script in which FRANTZ bites the head off of Naomi Repace and then jumps into an exercise tube with Charleze Theron and starts speaking to earth in Idris Elba's Voice.

MemberTrilobiteMar-12-2012 1:14 PM
LOL Sparky... thats not a fake script though I've seen footage of frantz doing that LOL

Hey guys, This is why people sign NDA's (Non-Disclosure Agreements). Every script has a tell. We'll never know what it is. Even if we worked on the movie at a level where we had one in our possession, we wouldn't know what it is. Only the entertainment lawyers know. If this is leaked, whoever leaked it, will be hearing from them as soon as they trace the source.

After reading this supposed script, i can say that it has the backbone but all I know is that I can take this with a grain of salt...though some of what was written fits with what we have seen so far....but hey, we will find out sat with the release of the new trailer that will make St. Patrick's Day even better...a cold Guiness in one hand and the trailer in the other...

MemberOvomorphMar-12-2012 4:58 PM
Also, I am sure the ship came with Ikea instructions in case the crew could not figure out the FTL engine....it is made of legos.

MemberOvomorphMar-12-2012 5:07 PM
The script is terrible, no character development, dialog reads like it was written by a 6th grader. Obviously a fake.

Gavin

MemberTrilobiteMar-12-2012 5:08 PM
They that's another thing... According to this FAKE script FTI stands for Faster Than Light, funny I thought it was FTL. @ Cain1977 - I've seen that you may believe the script to be real, look at my observations higher up on this page. That is way too many errors, even for a first draft.

Mr.J

MemberOvomorphMar-12-2012 5:18 PM
Yeah, I have seen the many errors now after reading the whole thing now. I guess some fanboy had a lot of time on his hands, well lotion and a picture of Charlize and decided to do some trolling and stir up the bees nest.... Just have to wear blinders now until June....keep all the leaked supposed stuff out of sight....

I've read the whole "scrip" and must say, compared to the trailer preview, it sounds true. There are scenes in the preview trailer (i.e. the "turbines" of the prometheus in vertical position, a dead body on the floor in the hangar bay) which aren't released till the preview. The writer must be very fast in writing the whole one. Sure, there are passages that read very "faky", but maby the writer has written it down in a hurry. I hope this is really an early draft and they've changed a lot in the final one. Looking forward to my most anticipated movie of 2012 (besides The Dark Knight Rises & The Hobbit)

@bunnypf - Why resort to attacks over my opinion or anyone elses? Does my opinion offend you? 1- Yes, I do work with scripts. Clients come to me with what they view to be a final script and I have to sit down with them, correct all sorts of crap (mostly anachronisms, poor dialog that wont read well, so forth). So yes, this reminds me of an early draft of a script. In film, be it movies, tv, or documentaries, scripts get written, re-written and re-written again. It is possible that this is an early draft. It is also possible that this is party of Scott's war of misinformation. He could've hired an intern to write this up for some cash on the side, leak it, and whala... we have a script! Until Fox issues a takedown order, this script is fake. The moment they issue one for all the sites holding it, we'll know it was an early draft. 2. I am not responsible for this script. I don't have time to waste writing fanfic. I'm just looking forward to the movie so I check on here every day or so. If I were to write one it would have alot more androids turning human and ships turning into living beings! I've read the majority of it and I still think this is an early draft of what we will see in the film. Wasn't it Jon Spaihts who said he had a script in circulating that some folks liked (Passenger maybe?). Its possible that this is the first re-write of his (or Damon's) initial script. @db - You are are spot on. If it is legit, someone's head is going on the chopping block. No cease and desist from Fox... yet.

The engine thing was figured out by Biomechanic on these forums ages ago. The temple, by myself on these forums ages ago. The landing struts from the engines by myself and Biomechanic. There is nothing new in that FAKE script whatsoever.

Mr.J

MemberOvomorphMar-12-2012 5:36 PM
Could of been someone who seen the script very briefly or worked on the film and knows a lot and wrote from memory what they saw...who knows... There are some rather not good moments in the script but like I said...the backbone of the story is there and this is how Spec Scripts start....they start boney and then after many revisions, they have meat on them.... I am kind of partial to it and it is the best at least fake attempt I have seen so far, despite the grammatical parts...

Shane

MemberOvomorphMar-12-2012 5:44 PM
A lot of people also called the shooting outline that leaked fake as well.... and they all looked stupid when the TED talk bit hit the internet. NOTE: I haven't read the script yet. I will in a bit. I am just unsure to call anything fake as that was totally written off by the avpgalaxy community and well, yeah, we saw how that turned out.

Shane

MemberOvomorphMar-12-2012 5:52 PM
Ok read a bit. I am not calling it fake but, if that is real wow....That is Michael Bay bad.

[url=http://www.prometheus-movie.com/uploads/PrometheusScene2.JPG]Speech Storyboard Page[/url] That leaked speech storyboard must have been intentional doctored then. What caught my eye was the folds and wrinkles in the paper don't affect the shot block lines. The viral campaign team must have decided to leak the real digital file but wanted it look more "authentic" and someone screwed it up. All they had to do was print out the file then crumple the paper and then scan that paper jeez...

MemberOvomorphMar-12-2012 6:03 PM
Fake. What a dreadful ending too! Whoever wrote it, based the script off the teaser trailer. Most of that trailer, is footage from five scenes of the film. The actual film will feature many more scenes. Hint:"teaser" trailer. I really don't know where people find the time to put together this kind of hoax. They must have absolutely nothing better to do with their time.

Gavin

MemberTrilobiteMar-12-2012 6:10 PM
the speech storyboard was obviously done intentionally to throw us all a curveball. It looked 100% fake and had amateurish errors which added to the belief that it was fake. Looks to me like Ridley and Fox are playing dirty on this one, thats not fair.

MemberOvomorphMar-12-2012 6:14 PM
OK Gents (and ladies) - I have just spent the evening reading the "leaked script" - Firstly lets not bang on about the bad grammer proving its fake - That is a technical issue as opposed to a creative one. Spelling can easily be corrected - Creativity cannot. Is it the story I was hoping for - NO. Is it real? give or take some smoothing off of rough edges, I kind of reluctantly have to say yes. The general storyline fits with every hint and clue Scott and Lindeloff have given of the movie. It fits exactly with scenes that are shown on the NEW teaser trailer. As well as very smartly tying all the scenes from the original trailer into a cohesive timeline (there is the slight change of us seeing an escape capsule come from the prometheus as it is about to ram the derelict - however they probably changed the story on a redraft that Vickers ejected as the prometheus was on collision course) I hope I am wrong and the story is much grander than this script, but I do feel that this could be pretty much it. Sorry folks, its been great disecting all the possible plots the story could have followed over the last year or so - But ladies and gentlemen, I think that give or take some minor changes - This puppy is it........

MemberTrilobiteMar-12-2012 6:19 PM
I disagree, look at my points made earlier in this thread. there are too many errors, mistakes and changes.

Biomechanic

MemberOvomorphMar-12-2012 6:24 PM
I agree with Snorkelbottom about the mistakes and inconsistencies but it was the bad dialogue that proved to me it was a fake. I mean come on guys it is worse than twilight.

MemberOvomorphMar-12-2012 6:30 PM
Dear Mr. "Terraformer," Please immediately kill the idiotic humans in this wee tin can, I'm sending you. Don't bother being creative about it, they deserve nothing more than instant extermination. I mean seriously,[b] I[/b] [i][/i]could write better dialog than what I read in this alleged "spec script."

MemberOvomorphMar-12-2012 6:44 PM
I genuinely hope this is part of Scott's war of misinformation. It will be alot of fun to see how the new trailer fits in with this script. Having finished reading it this afternoon, I was a bit disappointed by the ending. Maybe my fanboy nature is just way too demanding.
