Quick heads up for you -

 

Channel 4 will be airing a live ad full of your tweets to see just how excited the Twitterverse is about the new Prometheus movie.

 

Here at Shiny Shiny we genuinely couldn't be more excited about Ridley Scott's new film Prometheus. We've been watching movie blogs like hawks (the geekiest kinds of hawks, of course) for a sneak peek of the latest trailers, photos, news, hell we've even started to care about celebrity gossip because the cast is just so damn good and we want to know what they're all up to 24/7.

 

If you're only half as excited (read:obsessed) as us, then you'll be happy to know that another brand new trailer for the film is set to be aired on Channel 4 on the 29th April during the first break of Homeland. Now this is great news, but it's fairly standard for a highly anticipated movie to have its trailer played during the ad break of a popular TV show, right?

 

But wait, the interesting part is that after the trailer has been aired a live advert will be played full of live tweets documenting just how thrilled UK film geeks really are about the new movie. To be in with a chance of having your thoughts included in the live ad, then use the hashtag #areyouseeingthis after the new trailer has been aired.

 

This is a great way to show just how much buzz there already is about the movie, even though its release date is still months away. And, even though it seems a little like we're all being forced to share our opinions, we're very tempted to do it anyway. Let's just hope no one spoils the fun with lots of abuse and swearing, although we'd hope that Channel 4 already has that covered.

 

The BBFC yesterday rated a new trailer for the film coming in at 3m20s, so hopefully this is what we'll see. Incidentally a new vid was up on YouTube yesterday, with new shots and behind the scenes stuff, but dubbed and titled in Russian, before being pulled by Fox. It was the same length so I'm guessing its the English version of this.

A mate reckons he read in Total Film that the Xenomorphs do make an appearence in the last 10 minutes of the film and their origins will be revealed. Can motherfuckers confirm or deny that shit?

Scott himself has said that the Alien will not feature at all, as everyone has seen it all before, it's not scary anymore etc etc....of course, this could be all misdirection, but I doubt it and not having the xenomorph in it is definitely the way to go in my eyes.

 

HOWEVER, apparently the trailer house cutting these trailers were not given access to the last ten minutes of the film, so make of that what you will.

 

Anyway, heres a slightly different version of the trailer that was on C4 on sunday, it has two new scenes, one at 2:29 and one at 2:32 -

I think the script read as if they are in it but a very early form of them (in the films there are multiple generations of them that broadly take on the characteristics of their hosts).

They are described as a bio-weapon of the space jockeys so it's possible this first gen has little resemblence to the ones we know.

I reckon the aliens that infest the crew of the Promethius are the first xenomorphs.

And here is the extended featurette that I was on about earlier, but in English, not Russian. It's got some nice behind the scenes stuff...
