MemberOvomorphMar-19-2012 6:08 AMwas glued to the season 2 finale of "The Walking Dead", when at 12 minutes
into the episode, there pops up the "20th Century Fox / Scott Free films logos...!!
FINALLY - - a proper TV advert for this great looking film...!
the PROMETHEUS spot showed pretty much the same shots, a new
shot of a pristine calm lake / mountains, a different side angle of the
PROMETHEUS craft on approach to the planetoid was the only shot
that i had not seen yet. it was a short trailer, a little over one minute i think
the tone of this trailer focuses a bit on Shaw / Holloway
discovering the "invitation" to seek out the Engineers
i understand that "viral marketing" seems to be the route that most films
are going, either that, or web banners / splash pages on popular sites
but i do HOPE that this film uses the traditional TV advert route,
i think a LOT of decent films don't do as much box office as they could,
due to the fact that studios aren't willing to fork over the money to the
networks
in any case, i was really happy to see the trailer for PROMETHEUS
FINALLY air on TV, and i am hoping that by no means will be the
last i see of it on TV this spring

MemberOvomorphMar-19-2012 6:25 AMyeah, The Walking Dead is a pretty solid show,
it's kept to it's unwavering tone, much the was BSG did
it's a downer, but really well written / acted / directed

MemberOvomorphMar-19-2012 7:44 AMI know right? I almost flipped when I realized what I was seeing...very cool to see that they are starting wide advertisement, very few of my friends or peers have any idea that Prometheus even exists.

MemberOvomorphMar-20-2012 7:53 PMWhat was that figure at the end of the TV spot? It was less than a second in length and was the last thing seen in the tv spot. It was center screen and appeared to be a humanoid but it was so fast I couldn't catch what it was. I still can't find the TV spot online so I can go frame by frame to get a clear shot of it...
