Screengrabs From New Prometheus Trailer Reveal Major Clues, Ultimate Alien Connections!

Special thanks to BD reader ‘Fritte Öhman’ out of Sweden for the above and below screengrabs from the latest trailer for Ridley Scott’s Prometheus, all of which provided major plot clues to the mystery surrounding the Alien prequel. And while Scott denies any connection, the above grab should end the conversation once and for all. Yes, that looks like a Xenomorph to me, too.

“Lost”‘s Damon Lindelof has penned this brilliant sci-fi horror film where he, along with Scott, 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.”

In theaters June 8 from Fox, Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba, Sean Harris, Guy Pearce, Kate Dickie, Rafe Spall, Logan Marshall-Green, Benedict Wong, Emun Elliott, Ben Foster, Patrick Wilson and Ian Whyte all star. READ MORE

PrometheusForumLand12612 Its Here! The Full Length Theatrical Trailer For Prometheus Builds A Better World!

Ridley Scott’s Prometheus is finally unleashing the deluge we’ve only been receiving hints of so far.

And it looks amazing. No xenomorphs, but there are creatures, and Space Jockeys and – more importantly – the sense that whatever Prometheus turns out to be will be inspired. No matter what the label. Though, technically, it’s impossible for it not to be an Alien prequel. Even if there aren’t any xenomorphs, it’s most certainly in the same universe. I personally think it’s a good thing they might not be in the movie, there’s no way Scott can recreate the terror of the first film by using a creature that’s been drug through the mud after six installments (if you’re counting the AVP stuff, which totally neutered the creature).

“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.”

In theaters June 8, Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba, Sean Harris, Guy Pearce, Kate Dickie, Rafe Spall, Logan Marshall-Green, Benedict Wong, Emun Elliott, Ben Foster, Patrick Wilson all star.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer! We’ve also included a 30-Second viral tease of Michael Fassbender’s character! READ MORE

Ridley Scott Conceiving Prometheus Sequel

Ridley Scott’s return to Alien franchise was originally conceived as a trilogy all stitched together to set up his iconic 1979 sci-fi horror pic.

With the prequel Prometheus hitting theaters June 8 in a flurry of hype, Scott is once again thinking “sequel”.

In speaking to EW about the upcoming Blade Runner, Scott reveals that he’s “also thinking about what the hell I might do for a ‘Prometheus 2.’” as he knocks the wood coffee table and grins.

Those keeping up with the Prometheus mythos know that the film is supposed to set up exactly how the dead Space Jockey crash landed on the planet. This still leaves plenty of years (or millions of years) to explore. READ MORE

New Line and director James Wan (Saw, Dead Silence, Insidious) are tapping the Twilight and Dark Knight franchises for youngsters to star in horror pic The Warren Files, signing up Mackenzie Foy and Joey King to play members of the true-life Perron family, reports Variety.

The Perrons claimed they “lived among the dead” in the 1970s as spirits — both friendly and sinister — inhabited their Rhode Island farmhouse. Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson are playing the investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. Lilli Taylor and Ron Livingston will portray the Perrons.

Both child thesps appear in highly anticipated franchise finales coming this year: Foy will play the half-vampire offspring Renesmee Cullen in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2. King has a small part in The Dark Knight Rises.

Peter Safran and Tony DeRosa-Grund will produce “The Warren Files” — formerly titled The Conjuring — through the Safran Co. and DeRosa-Grund’s Evergreen Media Group. Wan is directing from a script by Chad and Carey Hayes with shooting scheduled to start February 21 in North Carolina. READ MORE

VeraLandscape12012 Vera Farmiga And Patrick Wilson In Talks To Do Some Conjuring For James Wan

James Wan (Insidious) has begun courting actors for his upcoming New Line film, The Conjuring. Patrick Wilson (Young Adult, Watchmen and Insidious) and Vera Farmiga (The Departed, Orphan) are both said to be eyeing roles.

Per Variety, “James Wan and New Line have selected Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson to star in the horror pic ‘The Conjuring.’ The two thesps are in final negotiations to star and Wan is on board to direct. Chad and Carey Hayes sold the original pitch.”

The project is inspired by the true-life story of the Perron family, who claimed they “lived among the dead” in the 1970s as spirits both friendly and sinister inhabited their Rhode Island farmhouse.

The film, “inspired by the supernatural events that happened in the Rhode Island home of the Perron family,” would have the director returning to the realm of domestic haunts. Originally on Summit’s radar, New Line stepped in and bought the pitch when talks fell through.

Wan is also the co-creator of the Saw franchise. READ MORE

Not much is known about her role, but USA Today premiered a new photo center-piecing the Swedish actress.

Its a Space Jockey Extravaganza in Prometheus Screengrabs! Updated in HD!

Ok, so the trailer for Prometheus is finally online. We’ve reveled in it at least once; some of us have watched it 14 times (I know, I’m sick in the head). On the surface it’s just (just?!) a mind-blowing sci-fi horror flick that taps into the soul of Ridley Scott’s 1978 Alien, but it’s actually much, much more…

From the pods to the Space Jockey rising out of the ground with his enormous canon (obviously a moment from the film’s finale, which will set the stage for the big discovery in Alien), there’s no doubt in my mind that this Damon Lindelof-penned flick is an authentic prequel to said film.

Thumbing frame-by-frame through the trailer we’ve uncovered quite a few freeze-frame treasures that range from the aforementioned Space Jockey rising out of the ground to the head of a Jockey sitting on a bed, and even what looks to be a device that channels the alien race. It looks like all sorts of awesome.

Shot in 3-D, Prometheus launches to the depths of space on June 8. READ MORE

Wanna See a Dead Space Jockey From Prometheus?

I seriously don’t think I’ve been excited for a film this much since Freddy vs Jason came out back in 2003. I’ve been so pumped for Prometheus – the prequel to Ridley Scott’s Alien – that I’ve been gazing over images and looking at all of the teaser clips over and over again. Obsessed is an understatement, I’ve transcended into creepy (I’m a Prometheus stalker? I’m OK with that.)

The point, yes, yes, the point. While other horror sites will discover what I’m about to show you in about a month and eventually report it as “fresh” news (see The Darkest Hour alien images), we discovered that one of the images released by Twentieth Century Fox carries a look at a dead Space Jockey…and it was right under all of our noses! Take a look inside for a cropped look at the still and say your prayers for the alien God.

In theaters June 8, “With ‘Prometheus’, Scott 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.

Ridley Scott Talks Prometheus Space Jockeys, H.R. Giger and Xenomorphs

Filmophilia conducted a pretty lengthy interview with Ridley Scott, director of Twentieth Century Fox’s sci-fi horror Prometheus, the assumed prequel to his 1979 Alien.

While Scott has been absolutely deceitful in earlier interviews, he’s slowly become more and more candid about the connection to the 30-year-old franchise. In the most recent of chats Scott comes clean on the addition of the Space Jockey, reveals the involvement of artist H.R. Giger, and promises with a bold face that we won’t be seeing the xenomorph synonymous with the franchise.

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.”

Blu-ray Review: ‘Insidious’

Movies
Posted by David Harley on July 11, 2011 @ 11:22pm
Category: Movies / Home Video

Insidious seems like the natural next step for James Wan and Leigh Whannell. Saw was an interesting concept horribly executed (it took them seven films to “explain” stuff and even then, many people were left unsatisfied), Dead Silence made great use of its Hammer-like atmosphere and creepy subject matter but was marred by bad acting and plot holes, and Death Sentence was a pretty standard revenge thriller that showed the duo could get good performances out of their actors. Insidious is the duo’s most accomplished work to date – showing improvement in several of the aforementioned areas – and a blast to watch with your speakers turned all the way up, even if it loses much of its steam in the third act.
