Damon Lindelof Responds to Tyler Perry’s PROMETHEUS Comment

Screenwriter of this year’s Prometheus, Damon Lindelof, took to twitter his humorous opinion to Tyler Perry’s flawed outlook of the Alien film

Since its release, we’ve learned that a lot of folks were displeased with the Prometheus film; including actor/director Tyler Perry:

TP: “I love Sci Fi, I love the Alien movies and the Alien franchise. I was very disappointed with Prometheus, but I love that whole franchise. Those are my favorite movies.”

Things took a turn when Lindelof tweeted a few hilarious jokes including a pic that completely shatters Perry’s credibility.

I, for one, cannot WAIT to see "Tyler Perry's Better Than Prometheus."

So because Tyler Perry was disappointed by Prometheus this guy gets butthurt? Tyler didn't say the movie was bad he just said he was disappointed meaning it wasn't exactly what he expected.

@jerBear: the guy in TDKR admitted that it was a joke. You just banged your head really hard against that wall.

Supes17 - 6/29/2012, 12:51 AM

lol that's not even professional...
Tyler Perry didn't even say anything wrong, he just said he didnt like it...

try this one, Damon... #BUTTHURT

As bad as the Tyler Perry's movies are, Lindelof really needs to work on his writing and not worry about twitter reactions.

Supes17 - 6/29/2012, 1:12 AM

@JerBear: I hope he didnt hurt your little feewings :(

I don't think Damon was defending Prometheus in this example, just ripping on Tyler perry writing a sci-fi movie. I know he mentioned it and everything...that's just the impression I get.

StrangerX - 6/29/2012, 5:00 AM

Prometheus was a damn good movie!!!

BTW-Who cares what Tyler Perry thinks. He's a dude that makes his living dressed up like a woman

@StrangerX - Prometheus was a damn bad movie.

Tyler Perry is a pretty good friend to have on your side though. He was the highest paid man in 2011. I was also a bit disappointed in Prometheus. I thought it would be a lot more suspense or intense scenes. I still really enjoyed it though.

MarcoPilgrim - 6/29/2012, 6:49 AM

As much as I don't care for Perry, he's right.
Alot of people were disappointed with Prometheus.
I definitely was, it was an average movie for me.

Luminus - 6/29/2012, 12:25 PM

Space Jesus? BWAHAHAHA! Okay, and that's better than Madea how? He's insecure, clearly, because all Tyler said was that he was disappointed. What's really going to be funny is when Tyler makes that sci-fi film and it becomes more successful than Prometheus.

MoodyMax - 6/29/2012, 1:19 PM

Okay, have I missed something? What guy from TDKR said about what? back story?

relentless1 - 6/29/2012, 2:09 PM

tyler perrys a cross dressing goof i hope he gets hit by a bus

Supes17 - 6/29/2012, 8:56 PM

lol I went to see madea tonight :p
i was bored...
and I laughed..
there were a lot of "brothas" in that theatre lmao
