Though it premiered at the Cannes festival to modestly positive reviews, we’re still hungry to see Tom Hillcoat’s Lawless – which stars Tom Hardy, Shia LaBeouf, Jessica Chastain and Guy Pearce - something fierce. The film doesn’t come out theatrically until August, so we’ll have to make due with this new clip from Hulu.
It seems like every day there’s been a new bit of media released to promote The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises, The Amazing Spider-Man, or Prometheus as the Big Summer Film of 2012. Today, it’s once again Prometheus’ turn, with Entertainment Weekly releasing 17—count ‘em, 17!—new photos from the filming of Prometheus. The shots feature character portraits, behind the scenes shooting, alien landscapes, spacesuits, and repeated shots of a haunted and haggard crew.
Check out the 17 new Prometheus shots after the jump!
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.
Now that Iron Man 3 is set to start production this summer, you can expect a bevy of casting news and (potentially) spoilers to start spilling forth from the Marvel offices. Just last week, we reported that Ben Kingsley was being cast as the film’s villain (rumored to be Mandarin), and now we can report that Lockout star Guy Pearce has been given a crucial role in the third Iron Man film.
The Three Stooges and The Cabin in the Woods aren’t your only new options for the weekend – Guy Pearce is hitting the big screen with Lockout, a high-concept thriller about a convict who goes on a suicide mission into space to rescue the president’s daughter from a futuristic Alcatraz-style prison. (Whoa, that was a mouthful.) We’ve gathered a bunch of reactions/reviews from critics to help you decide if this sci-fi ride is right for you.
How’s this for badass popcorn movie fun—Luc Besson teams up with Guy Pearce to lift the basic premise of the Escape From New York/Escape From L.A. series and drops it in the middle of an outer space maximum security prison riot. Not bad, right? Not exactly the most original story—Pearce plays a wrongly disgraced and convicted government agent who’s given a chance to go free, provided he can rescue the president’s daughter from the violent inmates of a space station prison—but Pearce can make nearly anything work. And now you can view the first five minutes of Lockout after jump.
Is 2012 the year of Guy Pearce? The star of L.A. Confidential and Memento has been kicking around Hollywood for a while, and has yet to achieve the fame he so rightly deserves. Perhaps he’s about to become the face of science fiction, as he’s got a role in Ridley Scott‘s Prometheus, and is leading up Lockout, a futuristic Sci-fi thriller from the Luc Besson factory. Check out the trailer…
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…
