Prometheus Reviews: Michael Fassbender/Noomi Rapace Rule
3 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 Talks Prometheus, Viral Advertising, Tripoli, the Blade Runner Sequel, Prometheus Sequels, More
4 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. »

Ridley Scott: ‘Prometheus’ Star Fassbender’S A Pro!
8 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.

Prometheus Review: Ridley Scott Delivers Mesmerising Sci-Fi
30 May 2012 3:05 PM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
While this summer sees its share of highly-anticipated, high-minded blockbusters such as The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises, there is no film that has evoked wild speculation and intrigue like Ridley Scott’s much-ballyhooed sci-fi Prometheus. Played down as something of a spiritual predecessor to his masterful Alien, one cannot help but feel that Scott’s thinking was simply to avoid fanboys rabidly comparing his newly-gestating creation to their precious 1979 baby. Make no mistake, this is a sure-fire, full-tilt prequel to Alien in every imaginable sense, yet also stands on its own two feet as a thrilling sci-fi spectacle that should have series fans discussing it for years to come.
Scott’s film opens in the late 21st century, as archeologists Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) and partner Charlie Holloway (Logan Marshall-Green) discover a star map during an expedition to Scotland. This map has been previously »

★★☆☆☆ Undeniably one of this year's most anticipated blockbusters, Ridley Scott's Prometheus (2012) sees the British director return to the genre which brought us two of the greatest science fiction films ever made - Alien (1979) and Blade Runner (1982). Boasting an all-star cast which includes Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Guy Pearce and Noomi Rapace, expectations couldn't have been higher for this rumoured Alien prequel.

Prometheus: Is It Any Good? Early Reviews Are In!
30 May 2012 10:32 AM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
When it comes to Prometheus, the critics have spoken. Well, a few of them have, at least, as early reviews are already starting to trickle in for director Ridley Scott's highly anticipated supposed prequel-of-sorts to Alien starring Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender and Swedish Girl With the Dragon Tattoo star Noomi Rapace. So what's the initial verdict? • "Ridley Scott's third venture into science-fiction, after Alien in 1979 and Blade Runner in 1982, won't become a genre benchmark like those classics despite its equivalent seriousness and ambition," writes The Hollywood Reporter's Todd McCarthy.

Ridley Scott Wants Harrison Ford for Blade Runner Sequel
30 May 2012 7:45 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
Good news, Harrison Ford fans! Though the odds of the sci-fi and action-adventure movie icon appearing in the Star Wars TV series that is in development are virtually zero, and the stories of his involvement in Indiana Jones 5 are "all just rumors" at this point, Ford could be reprising one of the genre roles that helped make him famous: police officer Rick Deckard in director Ridley Scott's sequel to his 1982 sci-fi classic, Blade Runner.
Despite the fact that co-producer Andrew Kosove last year called the new Blade Runner movie a "total reinvention" and said as recently as February that it is "patently false" that Ford was being considered for a role, Scott has said that he would be pleased to reunite with Ford on the sequel. And, though the new movie will feature a "female protagonist," Scott said in a recent interview with The Independent that he might »

Will Prometheus Be Ridley Scott's Crowning Glory?
30 May 2012 5:43 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
The anticipation that has been building ever since Ridley Scott announced that he was planning some sort of ‘prequel’ to his much-loved space-thriller Alien is testament to the respect in which the British directing knight is held (he refuses to be addressed by Sir), and the grip the simple extra-galactic tale still has on the imagination.
But we’ve been here before – with George Lucas and Star Wars, remember, and that didn’t work out so well, so probably best to contain excitement until the final credit has rolled on the release of Prometheus this week.
Prometheus is no longer the prequel originally promised, but more a story “from the same universe”, whatever that means. And stars including Cameron Diaz have promised that both Alien fans and non-Alien fans (that’s everybody in the same universe then, according to my Venn diagram) “will not be disappointed”.
It all comes down to whether Ridley Scott, »

30 May 2012 4:32 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Prometheus, the most anticipated alien film in a decade (sorry, Men In Black III) and one of the biggest blockbusters of the year, is arriving in UK cinemas this week.
It's not just the all-star cast including Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Guy Pearce, Idris Elba, Logan Marshall-Green and Charlize Theron that filmgoers are excited about, this is also director Ridley Scott's first sci-fi film in three decades, since his 1982 Blade Runner.
Prometheus started out as a prequel to Scott's Oscar-winning 1979 sci-fi horror film Alien, starring Sigourney Weaver, and that unforgettable extra-terrestrial creature, however, it grew into its own stand-alone film with an estimated $120–130 million budget.
Will its terrifying futuristic 3D aliens match up to the top five classic creepy film creatures listed below?
