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:

“Ridley Scott, director of ‘Alien’ and ‘Blade Runner,’ returns to the genre he helped define. With ‘Prometheus’, he creates a groundbreaking mythology, in which a team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a thrilling journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race.”

Del Toro and Matthew Robbins penned the adaptation of a 1973 ABC telepic, penned by Nigel McKeand. Directed by Troy Nixey, when a little girl (Bailee Madison) is sent to live with her father (Guy Pearce) and his girlfriend (Katie Holmes) in the old mansion they are renovating, she unwittingly unleashes malevolent creatures bent on destroying all of them.

Alternate: The pic follows Sally (Bailee Madison), a young girl who moves to Rhode Island to live with her father (Guy Pearce) and his new girlfriend (Katie Holmes) in the 19th-century mansion they are restoring. Having stumbled upon the mansion’s hidden basement, Sally starts hearing voices calling out from the bolted ash pit, imploring her to open it. Sally obliges and unwittingly unleashes something so terrible, so unthinkable, that everyone’s life – hers most of all – is placed in immediate and grave danger.

Just yesterday (it feels like days ago) Twentieth Century Fox unveiled this first image from Ridley Scott’s Prometheus, his planned PG-13 prequel to his 1979 Alien that was conceptualized and penned by “Lost” writer Damon Lindelof. Doing a little hunting, Bloody Disgusting was able to track down a second pic from the horror prequel arriving in theaters June 8, 2012. It looks like a photo from the early portion of the film where the military makes a “mankind-changing” discovery (we were created by aliens?!) It is not an official still, but a set pic.

Just this evening at the San Diego Comic-Con I caught up with Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark (review) helmer Troy Nixey, who made his feature-length directing debut with the film, a remake of the 1973 made-for-TV movie of the same name about a family that discovers murderous tiny creatures living in the basement of their new home. I asked the very friendly director what he took from the original film in executing the updated version arriving in theaters August 26 from FilmDistrict. Full story inside.

Some disturbing news out of the ongoing Fox panel in Hall H of the San Diego Comic-Con. Director Ridley Scott shot a video introduction from the set of Prometheus, the still unconfirmed Alien prequel starring Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba, Sean Harris, Guy Pearce, Kate Dickie, Rafe Spall, Logan Marshall-Green, Benedict Wong, Emun Elliott and Ben Foster.

The biggest disappointment out of the panel is that the film is apparently PG-13 but Scott hinted they are covering their asses with more extreme material and do what’s right for the film in the end. He says it is not hindering the movie and that he wants “to scare the shit out of you.” As for the Alien connection, this is all he had to share: “It has the DNA of the original ‘Alien’ that’s it. Everything else is completely original.”

The thousands of fans were then treated to the first ever footage, as described by Andrew Kasch beyond the break.

Remember when studios used to make sweet official websites, instead of being crazy lazy and dumping everything on Facebook? FilmDistrict put some love in their official website for Troy Nixey’s Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark (review), the Guillermo del Toro-produced redo of the 1973 made for TV flick that’s arriving in theaters August 26. On the site, surprises and terror lurk behind every click as you explore Blackwood Manor. In addition, they’ve finally provided us with some “cooler” imagery, which can be enjoyed in our updated gallery.

“The pic follows Sally (Bailee Madison), a young girl who moves to Rhode Island to live with her father (Guy Pearce) and his new girlfriend (Katie Holmes) in the 19th-century mansion they are restoring. While exploring the house, Sally starts to hear voices coming from creatures in the basement whose hidden agenda is to claim her as one of their own.”

While I think the treatment of the font is beautiful, the new poster for FilmDistrict’s Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark (review) is one of the worst sales pitches in recent memory. It literally features the title font, and a bunch of names that mean absolutely nothing to the general public other than Katie Holmes, who is simply known as the chick who married Tom Cruise. I’m sorry, but this poster gets a firm F-

The mystery surrounding Ridley Scott’s Prometheus appears to finally be over — and it didn’t take six seasons and a despicable series finale to find out.

Screenwriter Damon Lindelof, the demon behind “Lost”, openly spoke to Kevin Pollak’s Chat Show about how he approached Scott’s presumed prequel to Alien. As much as my skin crawls when I hear his name, he makes some really strong points; the boys over at /Film were kind enough to transcribe the good stuff.

The 3-D sci-fi horror venture, starring Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba, Sean Harris, Guy Pearce, Kate Dickie, Rafe Spall, Logan Marshall-Green, Benedict Wong and Emun Elliott, takes launch on June 8, 2012 from 20th Century Fox.

Last night the LA Film Festival hosted the world premiere of Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, the Troy Nixey directed, Guillermo del Toro produced remake of the 1973 telepic that will eventually hit theaters on August 26. FilmDistrict hit the jackpot with James Wan’s Insidious, can they repeat?

“ ‘Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark ‘is an engaging, well-paced and scary horror film… while hardcore horror fans won’t break a sweat, it’s a gateway horror flick, one that will push the younger generation into our sick and twisted world.”

You can click the title above for the entire review. In addition, FilmDistrict has provided Bloody with a trio of clips, all of which can be enjoyed beyond the break. Check back here in August to tell us what YOU thought!

FilmDistrict’s Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, the Guillermo del Toro-produced redo of the 1973 made for TV flick, is closing the Los Angeles Film Festival this coming Sunday before arriving in theaters August 26. While both posters were remarkable, and the pair of trailers released induced chills down my spine, I find the hi-res images release beyond lackluster. The set design looks astounding, but how about giving us something with a little bang? Eh? Anyways, click the below image for the full gallery.

Directed by Troy Nixey for release August 26, the pic “follows Sally (Bailee Madison), a young girl who moves to Rhode Island to live with her father (Guy Pearce) and his new girlfriend (Katie Holmes) in the 19th-century mansion they are restoring. While exploring the house, Sally starts to hear voices coming from creatures in the basement whose hidden agenda is to claim her as one of their own.”
