Prometheus Writer Discusses Possible Sequel
58 minutes ago | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
Back in November, director Ridley Scott said that the last eight minutes of "Prometheus" will look very similar to "Alien." But now, writer Damon Lindelof has revealed that "Prometheus" can have a sequel without tying into the "Alien" story. "If you like ['Prometheus'] and want more, there is totally a design for this story to continue in cool and unexpected ways," he wrote on Twitter, adding that the movie will create "a new, grand mythology." So which direction will "Prometheus 2" head in? "For 'Prometheus,' I came back to a very simple question that haunted me that appears in the first 'Alien,' and no one answered in subsequent 'Alien' films: who was the Space Jockey . the big guy in the seat? Once you start into the evolution of the story, it moves so far away from 'Alien' that there's only the mere DNA of the original in 'Prometheus. »

In a Q&A session on Twitter, Damon Lindelof revealed that the plot line didn’t necessarily have to end with Prometheus.

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 »

Prometheus: the making of a new myth

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. »

Image(s) of the Day: Greg Mottola and Eli Roth's 'Star Wars' Drawings from When They Were Kids
25 May 2012 10:50 AM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
Our buddy Mike Ryan put together a really great piece for the Huffington Post that compiled numerous quotes from a bunch of filmmakers and actors on how the original Star Wars (A New Hope) influenced their lives and careers in honor of the film's 35th anniversary, which is today. Ryan spoke with folks like Jon Favreau, Damon Lindelof, Simon Pegg, Marc Webb, Diablo Cody, Rian Johnson and more, but the real highlights come from Greg Mottola (Superbad, Paul) and Eli Roth (Hostel) who both sent in Star Wars drawings they made when they were kids. Here's Mottola explaining his drawing (see below): "In 1982, during my first few weeks as an art student at Carnegie Mellon University, we were given an assignment: draw a portrait with your hero. This was the result. My "Star...

Entertainment Geekly: 'Lost' and the serialized drama
25 May 2012 9:15 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
This week marked exactly two years since ABC’s serialized cult-pop drama Lost went off the air with a series finale that featured a heady mix of philosophy, spiritualism, ambiguous metaphors, and amnesia-curing smooches. The two-year anniversary of anything is not typically a time for celebration. But Lost dominated internet culture in its heyday, and the anniversary offered fans a moment to once again talk about a show that dominated the cultural conversation of the late ’00s. In our new podcast, me and Lost mega-guru Jeff Jensen talk about the show. We also offer a list of our respective top three non-Lost serialized shows. »

In the meantime, two new featurettes for the film have gone online to whet fans’ appetites. The first one, entitled “The Vision of Prometheus”, features Scott and some of the actors (including Guy Pearce) talking about the larger themes of the film, shooting in 3D, and more. The second featurette focuses on the character played by Logan Marshall-Green and gives us a bit of insight into what his role in the film will entail. Hit the jump to check out the featurettes.

'Star Wars' 35th Anniversary: Jon Favreau, Eli Roth & 11 Other Filmmakers On How George Lucas' Classic Influenced Them
24 May 2012 10:04 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
This Friday, the original "Star Wars" (or, "Star Wars: Episode IV -- A New Hope," if you must) turns 35. In honor of the landmark film's landmark birthday, I asked a group of influential filmmakers -- responsible for projects such as "The Hunger Games," "Iron Man" and "Lost" -- what the biggest influence the original "Star Wars" had on them professionally or personally. Here are their quite wide-ranging answers. (Oh, and some "Star Wars" drawings, at the bottom, courtesy of an eight-year-old Eli Roth.)
Jon Favreau ("Iron Man") "Star Wars" introduced me to the writings of Joseph Campbell and the hero's journey as it applies to storytelling for the screen. I was familiarized with the classic archetypes through the characters of this film. I can't think of a story meeting I've ever had without "Star Wars" being evoked at some point.

In case you haven't had a chance to watch this fantastic Damon Lindelof interview yet, take some time off today and give it a shot. From The Verge, Lindelof discusses lots, including almost 30 minutes on the Lost finale. Definitely a must watch for fans of the writer and his shows/movies. Here's a wonderful Getty Images ad made up of 873 Getty images. The amount of painstaking research that must have went into this kinda blows our minds. Finally, Roman Polanski shot a short film for Prada called A Therapy, starring Helena Bonham Carter and Ben Kingsley.

New Clip from Prometheus
24 May 2012 8:41 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
A new clip from Prometheus has popped up online, but I'm not watching it. If I didn't have to review the movie, I probably wouldn't mind viewing it, but I'm keeping my pledge to go as radio-silent as possible (it's tough to avoid TV spots). However, if you don't care about going in cold, then you can check the clip out after the jump. The film stars Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Logan Marshall-Green, Idris Elba, Sean Harris, Rafe Spall, and Guy Pearce. Prometheus opens in 3D on June 8th.

Watch It: 'Lost' Anniversary Marks Polarizing Finale
23 May 2012 1:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Two years ago, an impossible beam of bright light zapped out of an island and left "Lost" fans everywhere dumbfounded, for better or for worse. The series finale was polarizing, no doubt about it: was it brilliant? Was it moronic? Fandom remains divided on the issue to this very day, and we're marking the occasion with our own look back on "Lost" history.
Go back to the island, and find out what else we're watching, in this week's Watch It!
"Fifty Shades of Grey"
I hate to say it, but I've been consumed by "Fifty Shades of Grey." It's not a movie, but it certainly will be, which is why I decided to give it a read. As "Twilight" fan fiction, I definitely notice traces of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan in the main characters of Christian Grey and Ana Steele. Christian is brooding, self-deprecating and impossibly good-looking, while Ana is clumsy, »

Damon Lindelof Talks About Lost's Ending in Detail
23 May 2012 10:30 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Almost exactly two years ago, my favorite TV show of all time came to an end. I was one of the few people who was actually satisfied with Lost's ending (which we talked about in detail when it happened), but a lot of people were pissed at the way Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse ended the show. By his own admission, Lindelof says that a lot of the questions the series posed were not answered, but in this interview with The Verge, he speaks for about 25 minutes and talks in depth about what the finale means to him and how he has no regrets with the way the series came to a close.
I respect Lindelof for agreeing to talk about this in such detail, especially since the show feels like ancient history with all of the things that have happened in the world since 2010. I also like how he handles the criticisms, »

Ridley Scott on his quest for a new mythology in Prometheus, teases 'equivalent' scene to Alien chestburster
23 May 2012 9:40 AM, PDT | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
During Ridley Scott's absence from science fiction, a generation of film-makers and game developers have worshipped at the shrine of Alien and Blade Runner and adopted its tone and style for their own endeavours.
Like a copy of a photocopy, the freshness of his future worlds started looking overly familiar.
Scott knew that when he eventually found a sci-fi project worth working on, something different was called for.
"Over the past few decades, we've been 'action filmed-out' and 'monster filmed-out' and almost 'science fiction filmed-out'," says Scott. "So the baseline question is: how original are you going to be?"
The answer was to tackle the sort of big issues inspired by Swiss author Erich Von Daniken decades ago in books such as Chariots Of The Gods? and The Gods Were Astronauts: That the human race has ties with extraterrestrials.
Scott sat down with screenwriter Jon Spaihts and Lost veteran »

What is Movie News After Dark? It’s a thing that happens nightly, bringing you news from the world of film, television and pop culture. Mostly film. Thus, the name. We begin tonight with a shot of Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling in Ruben Fleischer’s Gangster Squad? Quick show of hands: who among you is not excited about this movie? Those with their hands in the air can kindly leave the room, while the rest of us do more news. If you’ve seen Battleship, you’ll undoubtedly find this funny.

Two years after 'Lost,' Ep Damon Lindelof has 'no regrets' about ending
22 May 2012 12:54 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Are we still talking about Lost?! Well, executive producer Damon Lindelof still is. In a lengthy interview with The Verge, Lindelof addressed fan dissatisfaction with the supernatural saga’s polarizing ending in 2010. I’m not entirely sure whether fans are “still disappointed” about the ending, save for the grudge-holding few, but despite the untimeliness of the discussion, Lindelof provides some curious defenses to the interviewer’s extensive questioning about the show’s ending and legacy.
For one, he affirms that he has “no regrets” about the ending; additionally, Lindelof admits that there was a “degree of improvisation” in the writers »

'Lost' Creator Has 'No Regrets' In Today's Twitter-Wood
22 May 2012 10:51 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
When the highly-anticipated "Lost" series finale hit our small screens back in 2010, it left a lot of questions unanswered and had a lot of viewers going, "Huh?" Fans felt like they were promised a big event, something emotional and moving—which it was—with an intelligent twist that would satiate our thirst for answers and let us finally sleep at night.

What we ended up getting felt like a neat bow tied too tight forcing us to be satisfied. Some were glad that the characters received a happy ending, but others wanted more. "Lost" writer and co-creator Damon Lindelof sat down with The Verge to discuss the finale recently and said the viewer reaction left him sad and created stress in his life.

Damon Lindelof Talks at Length about the Ending of Lost
22 May 2012 9:52 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Lost ended almost two years ago, and the finale was predictably controversial and divisive. After the finale, show-runners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse understandably went radio-silent, so the ending could sink in. The duo also didn't return to Comic-Con that summer because it wouldn't have been a conversation with fans but an inquisition (although I would have liked to seen the room erupt in a massive conflict between people who liked the ending and those who disliked it). While Lindelof eventually did open up regarding some of the fan questions, I haven't seen a one-on-one interview where he has a civil conversation about the ending rather than an interrogation. Today, a one-on-one interview has gone online, and it features Lindelof talking about the reactions to the ending, his intent, and providing a little clarification on some vague points, but never clearing up the ambiguity of the show's final scenes.

New Featurette for Prometheus Focuses on Charlize Theron’s Character
21 May 2012 11:58 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
A new featurette for Ridley Scott’s Prometheus has gone online. This clip focuses on the character played by Charlize Theron, and some tantalizing new footage is intercut with Theron talking about her character and getting to work with Scott. The actress explains that her character, Vickers, works for The Weyland Company and is basically overseeing the mission that the team aboard Prometheus is undertaking, but she’s also a bit of a hard ass. We really haven’t seen much of her character in the previous trailers, so this featurette gives us better idea of what to expect from Theron once the film hits theaters. Hit the jump to watch the featurette. The film also stars Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Logan Marshall-Green, Idris Elba, and Guy Pearce. Prometheus opens on June 8th in 3D.
