Movie Review - Prometheus (2012)
1 hour ago | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Prometheus, 2012.
Directed by Ridley Scott.
Starring Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Idris Elba, Charlize Theron and Guy Pearce.
Is that Apocalypse Now-era Marlon Brando in the background? Synopsis:
The crew of the spaceship Prometheus investigate signs of life on a faraway planet.
Prometheus was the name of the titan who stole fire from the Gods. Prometheus is the name of the film; Prometheus is the name of the ship.
Not Alien 5: Prometheus, nor AVP3 (Aliens Vs Prometheus 3). Just Prometheus. It's a prequel that doesn't flaunt the fact, which is odd because it has great reason to. The big guy is back, Ridley Scott, his first directing credit in the Alien franchise since the original in 1979. Michael Fassbender is there too, and Charlize Theron and Idris Elba. Oh, and Rafe Spall. I like Rafe Spall.
A graphic appears onscreen shortly after the film's two prologues (one pre-title and non-verbal, the »

First "Prometheus" Reviews are Here - Find Out What is Being Said!
3 hours ago | Horrorbid | See recent Horrorbid news »
Ridley Scott's "Prometheus" has officially test screened in England and France and the first reviews are coming out. Social networking comments show that in general fans the film, but the critics aren't as happy with the film as the fans are. No big surprise there. Reviews seem to point out that "Prometheus" is a true "Alien" prequel, and doesn't just contain "Alien" DNA like Scott has been saying. The film is being touted as "intelligent sc… »
Movie News After Dark: Doctor Who, Ridley Scott, Gort and Time-lapse Porn in 4K
4 hours ago | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
What is Movie News After Dark? It’s just a nightly movie news column that has problems finding a place to park, just like the rest of you. We begin tonight with a stop at The Mary Sue, where images have been uncovered featuring Doctor Who‘s new companion, as played by Jenna-Louise Coleman. According to Steven Moffat: “Who [Coleman is] playing, how the Doctor meets her, and even where he finds her, are all part of one of the biggest mysteries the Time Lord ever encounters. Even by the Doctor’s standards, this isn’t your usual boy meets girl.” Fun. Now that Ridley Scott’s Prometheus is in the can and ready for mass consumption, the Alien director is talking about other films that he may make, some that he won’t make, and for some reason, he’s still talking about that Monopoly movie. Did we not learn anything from Battleship? Fox »

The JoBlo Sunday Night Movie Chat: Alien

Next week, my most anticipated movie of the year is being unleashed to the public. To say that I am excited for Prometheus is one hell of an understatement. I know that I'm not alone in my excitement for Prometheus, so I figured that best way to make the wait a little easier would be to host a chat for Ridley Scott's masterpiece, Alien! Since last October, yours truly has been hosting The JoBlo Sunday Night Movie Chat every Sunday night at 7pm Est. We've chatted about many great flicks »

Charlize Theron is ‘Totally Open’ to Joining ‘Game of Thrones’
6 hours ago | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
If you’ve been following our coverage of Prometheus, you know that fan-favorite actress Charlize Theron has already dished out her thoughts on Ridley Scott’s return to the Alien universe, and opened-up about her role in the oft-delayed Mad Max 4: Fury Road.
However, during our time with Theron at the recent Prometheus junket in London, she also opened up about an especially important topic – whether or not aliens watch HBO’s Game of Thrones (among other great topics of discussion).
Question: You were involved in a small indie movie that went to Sundance a couple of years ago – are you still involved in production?
Charlize Theron: Yeah, we produced “Young Adult.” Then, I think we have eight projects now that are being greenlit for next year. I’ll go right into one in January. But yeah, we have ...

Ridley Scott's return to the Alien universe is grandiose and muddled – with a scene-stealing Michael Fassbender performance
Ridley Scott has counter-evolved his 1979 classic Alien into something more grandiose, more elaborate – but less interesting. In place of scariness there is wonderment; in place of tension there is hugely ambitious design; in place of unforgettable shocks there are reminders of the original's unforgettable shocks. There are also some shrewd and witty touches, and one terrifically creepy performance from Michael Fassbender, who steals the film with the chilling, parasitic relentlessness of that first gut-bound alien. The original took place in space, where no one can hear you scream; in this film, no one can hear you scream above the deafening, kettle drum-bothering orchestral score.
The freaky-dystopian conspiracy spirit of 1970s sci-fi survives, sort of. At one point, someone produces a squeeze-box allegedly once owned by Stephen Stills, but doesn't actually play anything on it. »

Prometheus Reviews: Michael Fassbender/Noomi Rapace Rule
9 hours ago | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Scene-stealer Michael Fassbender, Prometheus The consensus seems to be that Ridley Scott‘s Prometheus is no Alien. And it’s no Blade Runner, either. But most critics have found Scott’s latest foray into science-fiction to be perfectly enjoyable within its intellectual and cinematic limitations. Most reviews have been positive, but without being overly enthusiastic. Of the stellar Prometheus cast, Michael Fassbender‘s android — who happens to be a Peter O’Toole fan — and Noomi Rapace‘s dreamy-eyed explorer have earned the best notices by far. Before reading any of the reviews, bear in mind that some critics have given out more details about the Prometheus plot and setup than they should have. Prometheus currently has an 89% approval rating among Rotten Tomatoes‘ critics. No "top critics" approval rating is available at this time. The sci-fier’s average grade is 7.2/100. Prometheus opens June 8. Ridley Scott directed from a screenplay by Jon Spaihts and Damon Lindelof. »

Ridley Scott explains the 'Prometheus'-'Alien' link and updates 'Blade Runner' sequel, 'Monopoly' and more
10 hours ago | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
London - A similar ambiguity will be repeated over and over and over again in pre-release promotion for "Prometheus," but the question of how directly Ridley Scott's new film should be viewed as a prequel to "Alien" keeps needing to be asked. Scott has been talking circles around the "prequel" issue for many months and he did so again with a group of reporters gathered for the "Prometheus" junket at Claridge's in London. "For all intents and purposes this is very loosely a prequel, very," Scott maintains. Speculation that "Prometheus" relates to oft-asked questions about the "Space Jockey" »

Ridley Scott Talks Prometheus, Viral Advertising, Tripoli, the Blade Runner Sequel, Prometheus Sequels, More
10 hours ago | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
No matter how much time you get with director Ridley Scott, it's never enough. After all, you could spend an entire interview discussing the original Alien, Blade Runner, or his under-appreciated gem, Kingdom of Heaven (specifically the director's cut with forty additional minutes that completely changes the film). So when I got to participate in a roundtable interview with Scott yesterday in London for Prometheus, his first sci-fi movie in thirty years, you could say I was a bit excited. During the twenty minute interview, Scott talked about how Prometheus came about, it's relation to the original Alien, the viral marketing, technology, his fascination with robots and artificial intelligence, and so much more. In addition, Scott talked about other projects like Monopoly, the Blade Runner Sequel, what ever happened to Tripoli and what it was about, and reveals that he already has ideas for the Prometheus sequel, assuming he gets to make one. »

Over the past two years, Michael Fassbender has gone from indie darling to mainstream movie star. And with his fantastic performance as an android named David in Ridley Scott's Prometheus, he's cementing his status as one of the best actors working today. Trust me, after you see the film, you'll also be raving about this performance. Yesterday, I got to participate in a group interview with Fassbender in London. During the extended interview he talked about how he got involved with Prometheus, if he based his performance on the androids from Alien and Aliens, how he prepared for the role, his relationship with Peter Wayland, the viral marketing, Prometheus sequels, future projects like Twelve Years a Slave and the X-Men: First Class sequel (which just got a release date of July 14, 2014), and a lot more. Hit the jump to either read or listen to the interview. Warning: Spoilers »

Michael Fassbender teases his robotic 'Prometheus' role, is excited for 'X Men' sequel
10 hours ago | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
London - In Ridley Scott's "Prometheus," Michael Fassbender gets to follow in the rich "Alien" franchise history of fabricated humans, a tradition that includes Ian Holm's Ash and Lance Henriksen's Bishop. Those classic robots were not where Fassbender turned to find influences for his "Prometheus" character. "No. I don't know why," Fassbender admits to reporters at the "Prometheus" junket at Claridge's in London. "Sometimes you do, like when I was doing 'Jane Eyre' I watched as many of the Rochesters as I could get my hands on, but for this I made a decision not to watch the 'Alien' movies. »

H.R. Giger’s Alien: A Brief History Of The Man And the Monster
12 hours ago | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Apart from Ridley Scott, there is one other man who’s ideas and designs are synonymous with the “Alien” franchise, H.R Giger. Having the honor of being credited with creating one of films most terrifying monsters, Giger’s name is now an adjective for anything that carries his signature style.
Giger was born Hans Rudolf Giger in Switzerland in 1940. After studying Architecture and Industrial Design, he used the skills he had learnt and incorporated them into the craft that would make him famous. Moving from the traditional ink and oil paintings, Giger started using Airbrushes to create large canvasses that depicted dark, surreal imagery that hadn’t really been seen before. The subjects in his work are often biomechanical combinations of human and machine which are unnerving to see, as is his strong sexual imagery. It also links with a trend that was prominent in the 70′s that explored »

Exclusive Interview: Prometheus Co-Screenwriter Jon Spaihts

ComingSoon.net and ShockTillYouDrop.com are currently in London for the junket and premiere of Ridley Scott’s Prometheus, something we can’t say too much about just yet unfortunately, but we know how excited everyone is for this movie, so we’re kicking off a week of Prometheus stuff with an interview with co-screenwriter Jon Spaihts, who was involved with the early stages of making the movie happen.
Spaihts is a screenwriter who has been very much demand in recent years, mainly due to his screenplay for an outer space adventure called Passengers for Keanu Reeves that made the 2007 screenplay Black List - an industry award given to the best unproduced spec screenplays each year - but has still yet to be produced. Since then, Spaihts worked on the screenplay for last year’s The Darkest Hour, and the anticipation for Ridley Scott returning to the world of his »
Ridley Scott: ‘Prometheus’ Star Fassbender’S A Pro!
13 hours ago | Fox All Access | See recent Fox All Access news »
One of the most intriguing movies of the summer is Ridley Scott’s Prometheus, which is his first venture back into the sci-fi world after three decades. Scott previously directed the sci-fi classics Alien and Blade Runner.
Prometheus takes place in the same universe as Alien and seems to have many of the same elements that made Alien so successful. The film stars Academy Award winner Charlize Theron as one of the films heroines, and Michael Fassbender. Scott, who has directed many fine actors and actresses including Susan Sarandon, Russell Crowe and Harrison Ford, thinks that Fassbender (who previously starred in as X-Men: First Class and Shame) is one of the best actors working in films today.
