Honestly, the more they release about this movie the more excited I get. This is shaping up to be amazing.

Wow! Now eagerly waiting for some alien footage!

I guess...PG-13 for theatrical release & if we get lucky then we'll see the R-rated version in the DVD release.

While the entire plot has already leaked online, those of you who have covered your eyes can now breathe a sigh of relief.

The official Facebook page for Ridley Scott's Prometheus has been updated with a brand new synopsis that gives a very vague breakdown of the plot for the Alien prequel:

June 8, 2012 can't come soon enough!

Yea I'm really waiting for this movie.

Ever since it was first announced that acclaimed director Ridley Scott would be returning to the sci-fi genre after more than 25 years away — 1982's Blade Runner was his last — to direct a prequel to his 1979 sci-fi classic Alien called Prometheus, the internet has been rife with rumor, speculation, and outright disinformation.

Screenwriter Damon Lindelof (Cowboys and Aliens), who came aboard to perform significant rewrites to the original script written by Jon Spaihts, has been the greatest source of information about the movie thus far, dispelling many of the rumors by revealing in June the origin of the movie and its relationship to Alien, and clarifying the roles Charlize Theron ("corporate entity") and Michael Fassbender ("a robot") will play in the movie in another interview in August.

Now that principal photography on Prometheus has wrapped, Scott himself has opened up quite a bit about the movie in a new interview with The Wall Street Journal, discussing the movie's theme, how the movie will tie in to Alien and what it's like to work with 3-D and CGI technology.

Speaking with the Journal's Speakeasy blog, Scott revealed that the reason he hasn't gone back to sci-fi before now is that he hadn't come across a script that he liked, but that Prometheus "developed and came out extremely well." He said that the theme of the movie is based on the myth of Prometheus, who stole fire from Zeus and was punished for it eternally. Scott said that the movie is about a "higher being" who steals knowledge of some sort and is punished "in perpetuity in a horrible fashion."

As far as tie-ins to the Alien franchise are concerned, Scott seemed to indicate that there will be a pretty major connection toward the end of the movie, with the last eight minutes of Prometheus evolving into "a pretty good DNA of the Alien [story]." Alas, 20th Century Fox confirmed that fan-favorite Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) will not have a cameo appearance in the movie.

Scott also said that he has "completely taken off into this cyberworld" of 3-D and CGI technology and that working on Prometheus has been "the best time" he's had "in a number of years making a movie." That being said, Scott still prefers practical filming as much as possible, versus "all the tricks, the toys" of 3-D and CGI technology.

Scott also revealed to Speakeasy that he will definitely be following Prometheus with a return to the universe he helped create in Blade Runner and that the movie is "liable to be a sequel." Scott said that he is "quite a long way in" on the development of the movie, and that he's "close to finding a writer that might be able to help [him] deliver." Like Prometheus, the sequel will be an all-new story with an all-new cast, so don't expect to see Blade Runner Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) trolling for Replicants.

Prometheus opens June 8, 2012.

Exciting update-enjoying seeing how this is progressing.

A part of the "Prometheus" trailer has leaked online (about 18 seconds) :-

(the video is not of very good quality, but it shows some very interesting stuff!)

Watch - http://s117.photobucket.com/albums/o...eusfootage.mp4

A contributor to the film’s IMDB forum claims to have been shown the trailer as part of a marketing survey.

As well as his detailed description, he also mananged to get a few seconds of video. It certainly looks legit.

Here's what he described -

Prometheus is directed by Ridley Scott, from a screenplay by Damon Lindelof, based on an earlier script by Jon Spaihts. The film also stars Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba, Sean Harris, Rafe Spall, Logan Marshall-Green, Patrick Wilson and Kate Dickie, and is due for release on June 8th, 2012.

Hope that individual got some satisfaction from their scoop. Four people lost their jobs because of it, and the research firm lost all the business from that studio because of the security breach.

That's awful.

I can wait for the finished product without seeking out speculative rumors and leaks.

Shocking to hear.

There are many die-hard Alien fans out there, and fans who worship Ridley Scott's status as a filmmaker. Needless to say there will be tremendous interest in the proceedings if he is making an Alien film. Stuff like a 20-second part of a full blown trailer, that too without sound, should not have been such a big deal for the studio and the makers to fire four people and cut off the research firm which did so much for the film so far.

It's a real shame.


Anyway, back to business.

Big thanks to Prometheus.net for this scanned image from EW:

First look at the "leaked" trailer (low quality):-

Description of the trailer (for those who can't make out what's going on, in the low quality "shot by a mobile phone" vid) -

• The trailer starts with the 20th Century FOX logo. You hear a transmission. A woman (assumed to be Rapace) is saying “…got to stop… was wrong.. so wrong…I’m so sorry…”. You can hear the last part very clearly.
• The first scene shows a spaceship (similar to the one seen in the first leaked trailer) flying towards a planet on the background.
• Next you see is the surface of a planet and some sort of facility. It kinda looks like a Lunar base.
• Now they show this scene from the Comic-con footage.
• You can see the film’s title forming in the background during most of the trailer. Pretty much like in the introductory scene of Alien.
• Next is the Ampule room. They show it off from all different angles and finally a close up of the ampules. Suddenly you hear a high pitch scream. It’s not human. It sounds like if it was from a facehugger. Then there’s a lot of smoke from what seems to be acid corrosion. They show a guy in a spacesuit. He’s alone. Screaming and putting his hands over his helmet. It looks just like the Kane/derelict scene in Alien.
• Now they show the same spaceship from earlier. Same shot as in the first leaked trailer. Flying towards what seems to be a different planet in the background.
• The next 2 scenes are from the comic-con footage. 1, 2.
• Now they show Vickers running across a hallway. Same scene as in the first leaked trailer.
• Next is someone in a spacesuit. Driving a futuristic vehicle in some desert like surface. Heading towards some structure or facility in the middle of nowhere at full speed.
• An impressive shot of the Iceland waterfalls.
• Next is this scene from the comic-con footage. They seem to be shooting at something or someone but they don’t show it.
• Next you see is some grey-black serpent like creature. Jumping ala facehugger from some sort of grey-goo cavity. Now they show the whole scene. There’s two guys in their spacesuits. One lying on the ground (it seems to be the impregnated guy from earlier) and another one checking on him. The creature jumps from what seems to be the insides of the previous impregnated guy to the other one.
• Now they show someone with a expression of pain. The guy is still in his spacesuit and someone appears to be holding him in their arms.
• Now you can see a device or hologram of some sort. It looks like an atom or a planet. Not sure if it’s a planet or just some molecular structure. The center of the hologram is a single sphere so it should be a planet system. Probably the coordinates to some other world.
• Now this shot from comic-con.
• Next is a spaceship being destroyed while in the air.
• One guy in a spacesuit pouncing at someone else while holding something. It looks like it’s going to hurt.
• Next is the space jockey room. Same as in the Comic-con footage. The center piece of the plate opens up and the space jockey chair rotates out of the ground.
• Next scene shows off a very inflated belly. Like if the person was pregnant but there’s something bigger than a chestbuster moving inside. Seems to be Rapace’s.
• Idris Elba yells while aboard of what seems to be the Prometheus.
• The sandstorm + Rapace spacesuit scene. Same as in the first leaked trailer. Close up of Rapace. She gets hit by the storm and she falls down a pit. It’s the scene depicted in the official still released around comic-con.
• Now you can clearly read Prometheus. The whole title has formed in the background. They show it for a few seconds.
• Now a close up of Rapace’s face. She’s in pain. It seems to be the same scene as in the first leaked trailer. The one with the green lasers scanning her belly.
• Now the show someone in a spacesuit looking at the derelict in the surface of a planet with clear skies.
• The words “They went looking”
• The derelict again. It’s vertical to the ground. It would be impossible to enter it from the same place as in Alien.
• The words “for earth’s beginning”
• Still on the same planet. The derelict (or something really big) seems to be falling down from above. The guy in the spacesuit is running away now. Trying not to get crushed.
• The words “what they found”
• There shows two guys running away now.
• The words “could be its the end”
• They show the same guys again. Running away from what appears to be a huge Giger-ish structure (it feels like it’s moving but it’s hard to tell). Perhaps the derelict in flight. There’s a lot of smoke. What appears to be debris on fire are falling from above. They keep running away from it.
• The music reminded a lot of the one from Inception (the ‘horns sounds’). But mixed with what appears to be the music from the original trailer for Alien. Same music during all the trailer.


Thanks & Source - http://www.avpgalaxy.net/2011/11/26/...r-description/

Thanks V. I couldnt make out a thing when i watched that trailer. Really excited about this.

The music for the official trailer has been released.




In addition, Tom Rothman, CEO of Fox, spoke with MTV about the recent trailer leak. "I heard some of it leaked, which wasn't so good," he said. "That's not fair. It's heartbreakingly unfair, because ... the quality of the visuals is as spectacularly beautiful, shot in 3-D compositionally the way only a master could do it," Rothman added. "For some early, early, early, early half-baked, half-assed test to leak, it's so unfair."

And speaking on the Alien connection he explains: "I'll tell you the great thing: It's way bigger than that. The ideas are way bigger, way more original and — it's a scary word — way more profound."

Fox has Prometheus slated for launch on June 8, 2012.

Oh! that's something new!:D

Check these out. 3 teasers of the official trailer which will be out sometime later today :-

Also, the man himself, Ridley Scott, talks extensively about everything Prometheus here - http://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?topic=41273.0

FIRST TRAILER!!!!!!!!!

Man this looks fucking good!

Tell me about it. I so cannot fucking wait! :D

I agree, looks awesome!

Check out this gallery of screen grabs from the first ever official trailer of Prometheus -

http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/27656

I have to admit I have seen the trailer about 30 times already. And I so cannot wait till Prometheus releases!

After watching the trailer very much looking forward to see this one next year as it got an Alien like haunting-sci fi look all over. But I think with all those press releases so far they are creating too much hype for this movie, IMO.

Yeah, I think it looks bloody brilliant.

But you're right - I hope that the hype isn't too much (don't want my hopes to be let down)...

Whatever, my Geek Senses are tingling... LOVE IT.

After the official release and the hype surrounding the "Prometheus" trailer, TotalFilm caught up with Charlize Theron to find out whether or not her character will be similar to Sigourney Weaver's iconic Ripley role.

"No, I actually don't play the heroine in it; that's Noomi Rapace (Sherlock Holmes 2). I play somewhat of a villain in it," she replied. "She's not a believer, she's not a scientist, she is the red tape that everyone has to go through."

Theron continued: "She's working with the company that's sponsoring this whole thing and you can feel she definitely has an agenda, which we pick up in the third act. She's more quiet thunder."

It sounds like her role will be similar to Paul Reiser's Carter Burke character in "Aliens."

- Ridley Scott.

Oh my! This movie looks so awesome. I can't wait for it!

New international trailer. Feast your eyes!


A new trailer has been released to promote Ridley Scott’s sci-fi horror Prometheus, and it seems as though the director’s Comic-Con promise to “scare the shit” out of audiences wasn’t an empty one.

The new international teaser doesn’t contain reams of new footage, but it does give us a better look at our crew of interplanetary explorers, as well as plenty of skin-melting unpleasantness.

Anyone hoping for more concrete plot details will surely be disappointed, but in terms of creating an atmosphere of palpable dread, we’d say the new trailer does the job rather nicely.

We still don’t know what it is the human crew uncover in the outer regions of the universe, but whatever it is seems likely to be none too thrilled at being found.

We’ll be watching through our fingers when the film opens in the UK on 1 June 2012.

The plot of Ridley Scott's 'Prometheus' has been kept fairly secret since it's appeared on our radar like a looming planet in the sky.

Is it a sequel to the seminal sci-fi film 'Alien'?
Is it a prequel?
Is it just in the same universe?

Scott's spilled a bean or two recently, and while it's only a small detail, we're sucking it up like a hungry face-hugger. The first link between the two movies is Guy Pearce's character, a businessman who owns the ship Prometheus.

Total Film ferreted out the following information Scott quote from fansite AVPGalaxy:

Assuming this quote is real, it possibly falls into a bit into conflict with Scott’s early statement where he said that the last eight minutes of Prometheus would evolve into “a pretty good DNA of the Alien one.” Then again, he could be saying that Weyland doesn’t have any connection beyond being on the ship rather than having a direct influence on the Weyland-Yutani’s acts in the future movies, and he could be part of those final eight minutes.

Although, it would provide a bit of a nice tie-in to why the Nostromo would go to the Space Jockey planet, especially since Ash (Ian Holm) says that he was ordered to bring the creature back to the corporation.

Finally, to provide a “canon” time-line, Alien vs. Predator, which introduces Charles Bishop Weyland (Lance Henriksen), takes place in 2004. Prometheus takes place in the 21st century (considering the technological advancements, probably late in the 21st century), and Alien is in 2122.

The film also stars Charlize Theron, Noomi Rapace, Idris Elba, and Michael Fassbender.

Prometheus opens in 3D on June 8th.

Thanks for posting these trailers. Totally psyched for "Prometheus!" Planning on checking out the midnight show and calling in sick the next day!

It is weird to see the CG and visuals in the "time before Ripley" look so much sexier. ; )

My favorite Prometheus clip is the Wayland TED Talk viral video. I thought that was ingenious. I can't wait for this movie.

Personally I am excited for this movie.
Sure, I was also excited for the AVP movie and it turned out crap. But the fact that Ridley Scott is directing this and the fact that he's trying something new while still using the elements of Alien makes me have a good feeling about this one.

First worldwide release today in 3 countries - Belgium, France and the English-speaking side of Switzerland.
