A scary Prometheus audio clip has been discovered in the lead-up to the June 8th release of Ridley Scott’s much anticipated new sci-fi thriller – and the excitement continues to build as more of its deepest, darkest secrets are revealed.
For a while there you could say that Ridley Scott’s Prometheus was playing cute. It was embracing one of J.J. Abrams‘s favorite marketing schemes – the puzzle box – where part of the fun was not knowing what the film exactly was until you got into the theater. That game plan has been modified for marketing recently, and now we’re getting a clearer sense of what the film is. And for those who weren’t spoiled by the latest trailer, the new featurette offers even more footage and clues. Check it out…
Welcome to the exact moment when Ridley Scott’s upcoming Prometheus ceased to be the ambiguous sci-fi mystery of the summer, and revealed just about every possible plot spoiler pertaining to its Alien prequel-dom that it seemingly possibly could. Thanks to a just-released international trailer, we now have three full minutes that basically lay out Prometheus’ entire plot—don’t want to know about Charlize Theron’s character? Not curious who has an alien inside of them? A warning, then: view this at your own risk.
Ridley Scott’s Prometheus is currently running neck and neck (or space helmet and bat-cowl, if you like) with The Dark Knight Rises for the title of Most Mysterious Action Film of Summer 2012. More and more plot elements, both leaked and featured in the excellently spooky trailer, indicate that Prometheus is a full-on prequel to Scott’s 1979 sci-fi horror classic, Alien…and a newly released Prometheus viral ad posing as an android infomercial, only serves to strengthen the connection to the original Alien.
There are any number of reasons to want to be at the WonderCon in Anaheim this weekend: the bevy of comic book writers and artists in attendance, the sneak peeks at new TV shows (like this one for The Secret Circle), hobnobbing with fellow pop culture nerds, you name it. That said, there is one reason above all others—to view the IMAX trailer for Ridley Scott’s Prometheus. Well, now you can skip the long haul to Orange County, because we have the trailer below. And it is spectacular—check it out.
It’s worth taking this with a grain of salt, but Twitchfilm is reporting that Harrison Ford may take a role in Ridley Scott‘s Blade Runner spin-off. Though they don’t have direct quotes – and the story may be updated later in the day – it suggests a direct sequel, which has not been what anyone’s said in the past. In fact, Scott said it would have none of the original cast members. If Ford does jump on board, surely Sean Young will see if there’s a role for her too.
Quick of cut and huge of scale, the trailer for Ridley Scott‘s Prometheus ties the film into his 1979 film Alien in two distinct ways. One is the lettering that comes as we get quick flashes of cast members Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Noomi Rapace and Idris Elba. The other is a certain prop that looks mighty familiar to fans of the original. Check out the trailer…
Ridley Scott’s Prometheus is and isn’t a sequel/prequel to his 1979 film Alien. And though it may not feature Alien creatures as we know them from the previous installments, from the latest images to come from the film it’s going to have the same look and feel that’s for sure. The film is due out June, 8 2012, but the first wave of publicity is starting to hit, with new images below. Check out the gallery.
Oh, Ridley Scott. Ridley has had a number of film in development for a while, but it seems he’s been getting the most traction on follow ups to his older films. Prometheus is due out summer 2012, but recently he’s been talking up his continuation of the Blade Runner universe, and as he tells the Wall Street Journal it’s going to be a sequel but with none of the cast from the original returning.
