Prometheus - Ridley Scott's 'Alien Prequel' (or not)...
Discussion
meh, I hope it's not pretty boy and girl actors just to give the film box-office appeal, one of the reasons the original Alien works is the crew look realistic- not a looker amongst them, unless you count Ripley. I usually avoid films where the leads are too hollywood good-looking with perfect white teeth, I'd much rather watch a unknown normal-looking actor.

Quite. Has Scott merely turned into a hack shilling out trash for the suits?
The FF quip made me smile.

Comment from someone who purports to know a little about these photos and in particular his comment on the 1st picture in my post, the one with all 3 of them looking ahead with torches...
"commits the sin of having actors faces Photoshop manipulated to the degree that it looks like someone just cut out faces from a magazine and stuck them on other people’s bodies. We are nearing the year 2012 and with the amount of money studios like Fox put into making these damn movies, you would think they would spend a few more dollars to make the all important early promotional work come across better than this?"
Fair comment I suppose. The insinuation is that these are effectively faked or at the very least manipulated beyond what we'll actually see on-screen.
I guess if like the original films it's 90% filmed in darkness, it won't actually matter so much what they are wearing."commits the sin of having actors faces Photoshop manipulated to the degree that it looks like someone just cut out faces from a magazine and stuck them on other people’s bodies.

I'm hoping it will be a fitting prequel.

Could'nt really make out too much from that but...the 'feel' of it seemed to be what I'd expect.Certainly more in line with what I'd expect than the pictures I posted.

First Pictures Now Released
Looking at the background, it looks like Ridley has the style right, in the sense that it looks very 70's Sci-fi, which fits in with the other films.It doesn't look like it will fall into the trap a lot of films do where there's a modern prequel to an old film, and everything looks much better than it did in the originals.

I'm wondering if that was sort of 'officially leaked' in order to counteract the very negative reaction to the stills released last week?
Whatever, ignore what I said up there^^^^^^ That looks awesome!
