  There are probably other fans of the Alien films on here,
  wondering what other fans thought of the upcoming prequel (they denied it was a prequel at first but it`s blatantly obvious it is now)
  I was really looking forward to it, but heard they might be cutting it down to be PG13 rating (in English 12a i think) that just won`t work you can`t do a film set in the Alien universe and then have it watered down, no 12 or 12A film has ever been scary or even creepy none i`ve seen.
  
  Any other Alien fans have an opinion on this?

  They did it with AVP a few years ago, and it sucked donky cock as a result.
  
  I will go and see it because it's Ridley Scott directing again and it has some very good actors in it, not least of which are Guy Pierce and Michael Fassbender who are both excellent in everything i've seen them do (apart from when Guy Pierce was in Neighbours back in the 80's but everyone has to start somewhere)

  I think i'll probably wait till dvd/blu ray, i read on some site there are two cuts of the film the older rating film R/18(which Ridley intended the film to be) or the PG13/12 cut think it's up to Fox which gets a release.
  But i think that even if they release the kids version in cinemas they will probably release the 18 version on unrated dvd or something.
  
  I agree there are good actors in it (you can't really hold neighbours against Guy Pearce anyway, pretty much every austrailian actor oe actress starts in Neighbours or Home and Away, sometimes even both)

  i will probably watch it but not in the cinema though, wait til it comes out so i can watch it at home, cuz if it's shit i don'
  t wanna sit through two hours. ridley scott deserves to give it a watch at least, but i agree, i cannot see it working with less than 18 or at least 15 rating
  
  they are right to make it a prequel, cuz too many sequels already, they are just getting silly now with AVP and what next it'll be alien vs freddy krueger and aliev vs your the easter bunny, it's slapping too much onto the plot

  The rating thing i find extremely annoying, i would be apprehensive of watching it on DVD even if it`s not an unrated version, a toned down Alien film doesn`t work AVP proved that.
  
  I would have watched a sequel as well to be honest (i`m a big Alien fan i even liked Alien Ressurection which a lot of fans hated, the AVP films weren`t great though even though i do believe the idea could have worked well if it was a better film with an adult rating).

  looks like a great movie, but im just not sure if its being blown out of proportion, and hope the movie lives up to the trailer and all the hype, but lets see what happens when it comes out

  Just thought i would post this here for those that are interested, the second released trailer for Prometheus, have to say it`s looking damn good so far, so the only potential issue i have with this film is the one i mentioned in a previous post on this thread.
  
  Some story revealed in that one, the first trailer didn`t reveal anything really.

  Oh i'm definitely going to see it in the cinema. I must admit that all this talk about the age ratings does make me slightly uneasy of the thought of a watered down Alien film. But with that said, the trailer looks awesome and it is definitely one of my top films i'm lookign forward to this year, just behind Batman :D

  There's a new junket in IMDb called David 8 which is all about the android on the promethius, may be a good idea to check it out. It's entertaining, and if you've not seen the TED conference yet i'd suggest looking at that too, both are interesting insights into the backgrounds of characters and neither will feature in the film itself.

  I have seen some of the trailers and I think it is likely I will give this a view at the cinema as it islikely to work best on a very big screen and very loud. I can get some of this using the Blu Ray through 5.1 but the screen size is just not enough. Would be good if they released both versions and showed the R18 at special showings in the evenings . Frankly given the story content this needs to be an 18 to be convincing.
