Re: Official Alien Prequel/Prometheus Discussion Thread
Yeah, you get that because you've SEEN it already. Take out the chestburster scene and half the experience would have been lost.
Duh seriously?
That is exactly what we are saying.
You don't need to overdo it.
Just one effective and powerful scene is enough.
Btw i'm sure that in ALIEN, if you remove the actual footage of Kane chest being ripped off full of blood, have only the reaction shots (wich also made the scene so powerfull since the actors where not expecting such blood) to the blood spatters and the chestbuster already out of the guts the scene would be aslo effective and intense.
At that time doing such thing as the violent chesbursting scene was very impressive but now we have see so much stupid violent movie thats i think we would not be as affected.
Suggestion would be more powerfull, quick shots of violence that makes you almost see it, just like in from DUSK TILL DAWN when Clonney comes back in the hotel room to find that Tarantino has butchered their hostage, only flashes images of the violent scene makes you feel dizzy.
Rather than showing the room with the body and blood everywhere.
But yet part of me wants to have a dirty and hard scifi movie, i wanna see the protagonist suffer when they die or are wounded.
I want to see the perverse and uncivilized civilization that will rip the chest and guts of the human crew of The Prometheus ship.
What Scott wanted to do before Fox pulled the plug on the movie before rewrites...
I hope the R cut will be that, not just more blood, but something more harsh, rough and cruel.
The blood in the white room on the white uniforms made that scene.
Exactly!!! This so powerful visually.
I remember something that has kinda the same effect, less OMFG reaction but creepier in BOUND by the Wachowski, Tiny drops of blood on virginal white bathroom floor.
