What's The Scene Noomi Rapace Can't Talk About In 'Prometheus'?

8 hours ago | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

In a couple of days critics will start seeing "Prometheus," in less than a week it opens internationally, and soon the lid will be off the box of Ridley Scott's return to sci-fi as we'll finally experience what the director has conjured up in his kinda-sorta "Alien" prequel. While diehard fans have been covering their ears and eyes hoping to go in fresh, the Fox marketing team has been on a blitzkrieg dropping numerous TV spots, clips and images from the movie. And well, a few more details have squeaked out in the New York Times profile of Noomi Rapace, adding another dimension to the upcoming film. Warning: there are spoilers so stop reading here if you don't want to know anything more.

By now, the broad strokes of the movie are known, with the crew of the Prometheus headed to outer space in response to what they believe »

'Django Unchained' Trailer Reportedly To Screen In Front Of 'Prometheus,' Plus A Rumored New Co-Star Name Surfaces

10 hours ago | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

What do 20th Century Fox and The Weinstein Company have to do with one another? Good question. Maybe some kind of deal was struck? That's the preamble to the latest rumor: a trailer for Quentin Tarantino's slavery revenge drama, "Django Unchained" -- which is set in the South two years before the Civil War -- will screen in front of Ridley Scott's "Prometheus" which lands in theaters on June 8th.

Considering nearly 10 minutes of footage from Tarantino's latest opus recently screened in Cannes, a trailer, or possibly just a teaser trailer, playing in front of Scott's sorta-"Alien" prequel doesn't sound out of the question. And while studios generally like to promote their own, this sort of cross-promotion isn't out of the question. As you might recall, Warner Bros. placed their "The Dark Knight Rises" prologue in front of IMAX screenings of "Mission: Impossible -- Ghost Protocol" in December. »

Tarantino’s Django Unchained Fix Before Ridley Scott’s Prometheus?

14 hours ago | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »

Just a quick drive-by post for those of you who are going to go watch Ridley Scott’s Prometheus in a couple of weeks (opens June 8th).  Stuart Oldham of Variety, via twitter, shared that a source told him that the Prometheus audience may get to witness a teaser trailer for Quentin Tarantino’s latest, Django Unchained, a film that’s getting rather good buzz from the preview that was shown at Cannes over the last week (not that that’s completely surprising though Tarantino’s previous film Inglourious Basterds had a bit of a more bumpy ride through the Cannes process and build-up – though eventually kicked a lot of ass on release).

Django Unchained stars Jamie Fox (after Will Smith declined the part), Leonardo DiCaprio, Christoph Waltz, and Samuel L.  Jackson, and is set to hit theaters in December.

First Django Unchained Trailer Attached To Prometheus

18 hours ago | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

As if you really needed another reason to see Ridley Scott’s “Prometheus”.

Variety reports that the first trailer for Quentin Tarantino’s epic new western “Django Unchained” will play in front of “Prometheus” prints, released June 8th in the United States. It is unknown yet if the trailer will play in front of UK screenings as “Prometheus” opens in this country a week earlier on June 1st, though knowing how these things usually work there’s probably only a 25% chance it will. I will try and gain confirmation from the studio on Monday regarding this.

The Weinsteins debuted the very first press screening of footage from the film (which Anne Thompson reports still has two months left of shooting) this past week at Cannes and although I had to miss it myself (there was no bus back to my hotel after the hourlong presentation which didn’t finish till »

First Trailer for Tarantino's 'Django Unchained' Playing 'Prometheus'

18 hours ago | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

Briefly: Word from a Variety editor named Stuart Oldham (via twitter) is that the first official teaser trailer for Quentin Tarantino's spaghetti western Django Unchained will be arriving very soon. In fact, he reports a scoop that "the first Django Unchained teaser will play in front of Prometheus." Even more good reason to go see Ridley Scott's return to sci-fi, arriving in theaters on June 8th. The Weinstein Company teased 7 minutes of the very first footage from Django to press in Cannes (myself included - video blog here) which means they're getting ready to unleash this, and I cant wait to see what the first teaser looks like. We'll definitely keep you updated and will let you know if this is officially confirmed in the next few weeks. Django Unchained is written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, who last brought us Inglourious Basterds. In the film, the Django »

Django Unchained Teaser Trailer to Play in Front of Prometheus

25 May 2012 6:20 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

If you needed another excuse to go see Ridley Scott's Prometheus next month, how about this: the first teaser trailer for Django Unchained will play in front of it.  Marketing for the sci-fi pseudo-prequel to Alien has been relatively slow and steady (then again, everything is relatively slow and steady compared to The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises), but we did recently post two new featurettes and a clip in addition to the somewhat spoilery trailer.  All just part of the buildup to the June 8th release right around the corner. Django Unchained, on the other hand, won't open for more than six months after Prometheus, but that doesn't mean we've been resting on our laurels.  Hit the jump to see a recap of all of our previous and continuing coverage on both films. Variety's Stuart Oldham reported via Twitter that the first teaser trailer for Djano Unchained »

Django Unchained Trailer to Debut with Prometheus

25 May 2012 5:59 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

Quentin Tarantino was in Cannes this past week to show off a sizzle reel from his upcoming Western Django Unchained. Those lucky enough to have seen it have done nothing but praise it. Most of us, though, still have to wait a while before getting a glimpse of this action yarn starring Jamie Foxx as a former slave trying to retrieve his wife from a ruthless plantation owner.

Apparently, if we are to believe rumors, the wait to see footage from Django Unchained isn't going to be as long as we initially thought. Word around the internet this late Friday afternoon, heading into Memorial Day Weekend is, we will be getting the first trailer on June 8th.

According to various inside sources, the trailer will be debuting in front of 20th Century Fox's Prometheus. There is no connection between the two films, other than that Prometheus is rated R, and »

This week's new films

25 May 2012 4:05 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

Moonrise Kingdom (12A)

(Wes Anderson, 2012, Us) Jared Gilman, Kara Hayward, Edward Norton, Bruce Willis, Frances McDormand, Bill Murray. 94 mins

Anderson's signature meticulous, deadpan retro-chic works best when it's tethered to something tangibly real, as this is, historically and emotionally. Set on an island microcosm of 1965 America, it details the touching elopement of two precocious but naive pre-teens, and the grown-up chaos and crises their clandestine outdoors adventure provokes. It's a stylised storm in a teacup, packed with visual flourishes, cultural footnotes and the usual dry comedy. But beneath the playfulness are some deceptively mature observations on the pain that comes with both childhood and adulthood.

Men In Black 3 (PG)

(Barry Sonnenfeld, 2012, Us) Will Smith, Josh Brolin, Alice Eve. 106 mins

A time-travel twist facilitates a return to the 1960s and the golden age of conspiracy theories, which goes a long way to justifying a sequel no one was particularly screaming out for. »

Prometheus: the making of a new myth

25 May 2012 4:05 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

What made Ridley Scott revisit the world of his his iconic movie Alien more than 30 years later? The reasons are complicated, writes Damon Wise, and the results aren't what you'd expect

They say never go back, and in the case of Alien, why would you? The 1979 original, unusually for a cult movie, was a massive hit in its day, and its appeal has not only endured but grown stronger with time – rare for a science fiction film, since nothing dates so quickly as a vision of the future. Unlike with his 1982 masterpiece Blade Runner, Alien's perfectionist director Ridley Scott has pretty much left the movie alone, releasing only one mildly tinkered-with Director's Cut. Which, for him, shows quite an element of restraint.

Of course, the world of Alien was returned to, first with James Cameron's 1986 Aliens, not only a great sequel but one of the greatest action movies ever. »

Is Ridley Scott the most macho man in movies?

25 May 2012 4:00 PM, PDT | The Independent | See recent The Independent news »

Sir Ridley Scott starts his day like a CEO. Wherever he is in the world, he's on the phone at 6am, to his offices in London, Los Angeles, New York and/or Hong Kong. If he's in La, he talks to London for two hours. If he's in London, say, making a movie, he calls La for an hour in the morning from the back of his chauffeur-driven car, customised to contain the essential fixtures of an executive suite. »

Prometheus: Latest Featurettes Focus on Ridley Scott's "Vision" and Logan "Charlie Holloway" Marshall-Green

25 May 2012 2:33 PM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »

Even if you haven't been following the news about Prometheus as long as we have, 20th Century Fox has been releasing numerous short featurettes in recent weeks, offering you everything you need to know about director Ridley Scott's long-awaited return to science fiction without spoiling any of the surprises.

So far, we've learned a bit about Scott's background in sci-fi and that he's from the "all about everything school" of directing. Then, we were clued in on the the "Origins" of the movie and of the mission of the spaceship Prometheus. We were also introduced to scientist Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) and corporate taskmaster Meredith Vickers (Charlize Theron), two crew members who seem to have diametrically opposed agendas for the mission. Now, Fox has released two new featurettes, one that offers a look behind the scenes at Scott's "Vision" for the movie — from the grand concepts at the heart »

Discover the Alien Origin of Life on Earth in the Trailer for The Asylum’s Latest Found Footage Movie

25 May 2012 1:41 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

I’m starting to feel like The Asylum’s public relations person this week. My fourth Asylum story in seven days about their fourth new release in barely over a month, the sci-fi found footage shocker Alien Origin

In the past week I’ve reported on their Syfy bound Bigfoot, their big screen bound Don’t Hold Your Breath, their 2013 mockbuster Atlantic Rim, and now the trailer has emerged for their newest we-swear-what-you-are-about-to-see-is-100%-real found footage flick Alien Origin.

Recently discovered footage from a lost military expedition exposes a horrifying truth about the genesis of life on earth.

The footage must be completely real because there is no IMDb page and The Asylum’s own website lists the credits as the following:

Produced by: N/A

Directed by: N/A

Written by: N/A

Cinematography by: N/A

Starring: N/A

It really is amazing how The Asylum year-after-year keeps »

25 May 2012 1:00 PM, PDT | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »

Vic Armstrong has worked in the film industry for over three decades, and regardless of whether it's his work as a stuntman, stunt coordinator or director, one need only think of their favourite action movie and you can just about guarantee that Vic worked on it. Whether it's doubling for the likes of Christopher Reeve, Sean Connery and Harrison Ford or working alongside directors such as Steven Spielberg, Ridley Scott and Irving Kirshner, the story of "The World's Greatest Stuntman" is a truly fascinating one. Yesterday, I was lucky enough to talk to Vic and ask him about some of the many projects he's tackled over the years, as well as hearing his fascinating insights into the stunt industry and much more. A big thank you to Titan Books' Tom green for setting up the interview and to Vic himself for taking the time to answer my questions. The Book »

New ‘Prometheus’ Featurettes Focus on Logan Marshall-Green & Ridley Scott’s Vision

25 May 2012 8:10 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Hollywood may have a questionable obsession with prequels right now, but Ridley Scott’s Prometheus looks to be one of the better ones on the horizon. The film aims to expand the mythology of the Alien franchise, explore provocative questions about the beginnings of human existence, and include narrative threads that link it directly to Scott’s 1979 sci-fi/horror classic (at least, during the last eight minutes).

Part of the way Prometheus seeks to accomplish said task(s) is by doing more than just redressing the characters and plot of Alien under the pretense that it’s offering additional, substantial insight on the events of its predecessor (The Thing prequel, looking at you…).

Previously-released clips and viral videos for Prometheus have offered an early look at the film’s important players, such as Weyland Industries rep Meredith Vickers (Charlize Theron) and android “David” (Michael ...
