Charlie Brigden 7 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 From previous experience he'll make Streitenfeld rewrite most of his work then track half the film with A GOOD YEAR and BODY OF LIES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Robin Hood is great. Streitenfeld is a promising composer, but his other work is not the correct way to evaluate what he will do with Prometheus.How is Robin Hood great?

crumbs 14,364 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 The tonality required for a film like Prometheus is pretty different from the tonality of Robin Hood or American Gangster. I wouldn't be so quick to judge. Alien's score, as heard in the final film, is a mostly brooding and atmospheric score. What Goldsmith wrote as he intended for the film is a different story.

They squeezed it dry. He (the xenomorph) did very well. (He laughs) He survived, he’s now in Disneyland in Orlando, and no way am I going back there. How did he end up in Disneyland?

It's almost as if it says, forget the films of Cameron, Fincher and Jeunet, this is the real deal!This is like the "official sequel" to Alien. Aliens is like a fan film. In the good sense, I mean, a great film from someone who probably loved the first one. Of course we can't be sure of how good Prometheus will be, with this director at the helm. I'd love such a project to fuel again Scott's inherent good manners at filmmaking. He certainly sounds excited about it. I'm optimistic.Something I'm thinking is that some imagery from the trailer might be from the ending of the film (that ship/thing/whatever crashing) and they use what most resembles the original Alien for marketing purposes.Another thing I'm wondering is what is it the people in the film are looking for that is related to the origins of humanity or the Earth or something like that. I'm really into that. I can only hope the story makes sense. Please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Some of the hardware in the trailer looks more Aliens then Alien though.

Quintus 5,399 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 It is a good trailer, just about teasing enough. It looks nicely shot; if a little forced. I see a director trying very hard to replicate originality. The music used was disappointingly ineffective - I hope it sounds nothing like that in the film itself - it sounds too try hard; too "Hey look at me! I'm subtle and sophisticated!"

A24 4,362 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Is there somebody else here who thinks the music is disappointing, too subtle and sophisticated, like Quint says? I think it works exceptionally well. Am I alone? Probably. I don't think it's subtle either It's actually very present.

Charlie Brigden 7 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I like the music, but I don't think it's subtle or particulary sophisticated,It might have been when it was used in the original ALIEN trailer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,467 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 What a terrific teaser!1. It gives a great sense of what the film will be like without giving anything away2. Leaves you instantly yearning for more3. Hinted at being tied to the original Alien film without directly saying soI loved the 70s look it had, and the special effects were very good - didn't look like typical CGI ever.Hopefully the film itself will be good - I trust the director, actors, set design, cinematography, etc - It all hinges on whether or not the script is any good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
