Two things.

One, Prometheus is most definitely an ‘Alien’ prequel (but you knew that already) and Two, this IS my most anticipated movie of 2012.

The good peeps at AMC theatres held a Q&A this afternoon with director, Ridley Scott (Alien, Blade Runner) and screenwriter, Damon Lindelof (LOST). The live stream lasted about thirty minutes and at the end of the session a new full-length trailer premiered.

Some tidbits from the Q&A:

Ridley Scott promised ‘Surprises’ ala the Alien 1979 chest burst scene. He also mentioned the score, stating it’s as important as the visuals of the film. When someone asked why he went with a more ‘clean futuristic look’…the director answered bluntly ‘if I see one more GRUNGE influence, I think I’ll shoot myself’.

Damon Lindelof mentioned ‘All that we can say is that any extra terrestrial life is different in this movie than any movie you have seen’

Sadly, my question of ‘will there be any Predators in Prometheus?’ was not answered.
