Prometheus 2: Apparently it's happening

[Beagleman]

Spoiler: Well, I guess we know now...

... why Franco's character reportedly doesn't make it past the opening credits. Going into cryosleep when you're feeling nauseous sounds like a Really Bad Idea.

It really does. But then, Ridley seems to be fond of characters making stupid decisions...

And the story begins...

Prologue: The Last Supper

Spoiler: same spoiler

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Nice scene and it's a great way to introduce all of the characters. I hope it's in the film itself and not just a special "prologue" scene.

 

[Captain of the USS Averof]

Liked it. Getting more of an Alien-vibe than a Prometheus-vibe which for me is a great thing.

I think the phrase that fits here is 'target-rich environment.'

This is news?

This is news?

No, it's clickbait.

 

[fireproof78]

No, it's clickbait.

I figured everyone in an Alien movie was going to die. Rather unoriginal clickbait then.

 

[JD]

Well, the headline was just for the photo, so it wasn't meant to be some big revelation.

You say that like clickbait is usually innovative in any sense of the word.

If that's a rickroll, I'm going to be very disappointed.

 

[Beagleman]

I admit that was a bit too 2009.

And all this because I didn't want to simply directly link the cast picture here...

[Saul]

Not overly excited by that but I will say that I have no idea where this is going.

 

[Captain of the USS Averof]

Holy sh…! But not a single Engineer in sight so far.

 

[Beagleman]

Yeah, I'm going to see it but am I exitedt to see it? Not really.

DO I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION NOW?!?

No, not really. None of that looks remotely interesting and its a cast that is all going to die.

Right not, it feels like standard horror tropes.

I thought it was kind of amusing when the one crew member started gagging as if we were setting it up to have another chestburster Kane moment and it turned out she was just choking. That was kind of funny - almost as if it was a scene specifically designed to be used in a trailer to prove that they're trying something a little bit different than what's come before.
