Ridley Scott desvela algunos detalles de Prometheus

En conexión via satélite desde Islandia, donde supervisa la fase final del rodaje de Prometheus, Ridley Scott explicó algunos aspectos de su nuevo film. En San Diego estaban Damon Lindelof (guionista) y Charlize Theron, una de las protagonistas de la cinta. Queda claro que lo que empezó como una precuela de Alien, se ha acabado convirtiendo en una película de ciencia-ficción, con un storyline propio y distanciado, aunque mantendrá algún link con el universo conocido a través de elementos como la compañía Weyland-Yutani.

Of the film's Alien connection he said that "the DNA" of Alien is there but "everything else is original". What in the world does that mean? Scott says "in the last few minutes of the movie you'll understand what we're talking about." He went onto say "I never thought about science fiction until I started to realise that there was something in the first Alien that no one ever asked questions about. I thought, well, that could be the centrepiece of what we've just completed." Asked to confirm if we'll see a robot character, Scott says there "might be two".
One great bit of news - little to no green screen in the film. Scott was very detailed and careful with set construction to try and make the production as practical as possible, so much so that after three weeks of filming Theron asked the director where is the green screen to which he responded "‘I’m not doing green screen. What are you talking about?’." She added that "Everything was built and if it wasn’t built and you were looking out a window ship, he would have computerized this CG imaging that would play out the scene of what was happening outside. It just kind of grounds everything so much for actors. It’s all there and it’s all physically being lit.”
Scott is also both designing and shooting the film in 3D, not converting it. Lindelof said there were massive HD screens on set with glasses which showed the 3D in use as they were filming it. In the Hall H presentation, Scott said that now that he has worked in 3D, he will "never work without 3D again, even for small dialogue scenes. It opens up the whole universe."
When will we see a trailer? Lindelof says "You’re going to see some things in the late fall and certainly in January and February of next year that are going to start overtly declaring what 'Prometheus'." He adds that the mystery surrounding it right now is something they aim to keep up for the rest of the year - "we do want to keep that fun interplay alive. I think a lot of what’s driving interest in this movie is this idea of, ‘Just what the fuck is it?
