According to Ridley Scott it's not a prequel (just type Ripley Scott lol)

 

[reallyscrued]

It's an English film...

...no it isn't.

 

[DesiPower]

I will

At least use the spoiler tag

 

[HAL9000]

At least use the spoiler tag

I always do

 

[ImpulsE69]

This is why the movie industry sucks. Separate release dates in this day and age? Draconian.

 

[Printer Bandit]

would anyone fly to another country to see a movie release early?

 

[Atomic Playboy]

...no it isn't.

To be fair it was filmed in the UK, Canada and a couple other places in Europe, with nothing being shot in America at all, by an English director using British actors, so I can see how one could say it is an English film. IMDB lists it as American, but offers no explanation as to why.

I think it's one of those things where the talent is English and the money is American, like The Dark Knight Rises, in those cases I just got with whoever created it.

No explanation? Brandywine Production Company is an American company.

Where it was filmed has very little to do with the film, in that case I guess the X-files is a Canadian show?

Who cares where the director is from? I guess that makes 'The Sixth Sense' an Indian film?

So in closing...AMERIKA! FUCK YEAH!

By the way, psyched for the movie. Gonna drag the girlfriend to it next week.

 

[IHateMyJob2004]

Who has the ability to have seen it already?

I'm assuming that you are going to the premier or soemthing.

 

[IHateMyJob2004]

Oh ....

Prometheus was initially released in France, Belgium and Switzerland on Wednesday May 30, 2012 – nine days before its North American release – followed throughout the weekend by 15 other markets. The earlier start in these countries was timed to avoid competition with the start of the UEFA European Football Championship the following week. It opened to $1.5 million in France, the second-highest grossing day of 2012.[2]

Well to me if a film is created, written, directed by and starring Predominantly one natioanolity but then paid for in dollars it doesn't make it American.

In closing England fuck yeah!

 

[mikeymikec]

Surely it was filmed on an alien planet?

Written?

Damon Lindelof (screenplay) is American.

So is Jon Spaihts (script).

And created?

Actually, most of the people on this page that don't have pictures next to their names

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1446714/fullcredits#cast

are American.

The only reason the majority of the main actors are not American is because there is some unusual idea that anytime something happens in space in the future, people will speak in a British accent. I think it's for the benefit of American audiences though because it may seem more 'exotic' and futuristic to us.


...humanity, fuck yeah?

There is one primary reason this happens: tax credits


American production company = American movie

If Scott free/brandywine productions are British companies then I would call it a British movie.

Ya, i'd do the same for an early BJ.
