PrometheusHighLandscape121411 International Teaser For Prometheus Provides Almost Nothing New

Ridley Scott’s Prometheus is certainly one of my most anticipated films of the year. I imagine it’s one of yours as well. So while I could watch this new International Teaser a bajlillion times today and still be happy, I’m having a hard time finding any real differences between it and the US teaser released a few months back.

So far all I’ve got is that it omits the slow, Alien-esque, title reveal from the original teaser.

“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 new teaser and let me know if you’ve found any other differences! Doesn’t matter how small they are – I’m curious. READ MORE

PrometheusForumLand12612 Go Inside A Very Giger Egg Room In New Prometheus Pic!

Ridley Scott’s Prometheus is getting closer and closer to release and, while mystery is still high (and should be – I don’t want to be totally spoiled), more and more is beginning to emerge.

Like this still for instance. We’ve seen glimpses of this imagery in the teaser, but not from this angle. It features the giant stone head from the posters amidst what looks like the egg rooms from Alien and Aliens. Only the egg-like objects in Prometheus seem to be made of granite or perhaps some alloy and they are more conical in shape. But there’s no denying what they’re intended to invoke.

The international poster for Ridley Scott’s Prometheus has been unveiled and it has more than a few elements in common with the US one. In fact, it looks like the primary change is just really the angle of the giant head in the background. Still a good looking one sheet though!

Meet the Prometheus Space Jockey Known Simply As The Engineer

Only in horror is the man in a rubber suit revered as a God, which is appropriate considering the enormity of the following scoop.

With a fair spoiler warning to prelude this story, Damon Lindelof’s screenplay for Prometheus, Ridley Scott’s Alien prequel, is said to begin when a group of humans discover a map of the universe that leads them to their creators – or “Gods”. Said Gods are the Space Jockeys as eluded to in the corpse seen in Scott’s 1979 Alien.

In Twentieth Century Fox’s Prometheus, arriving in theaters June 8, one of these Space Jockeys is referred to as “The Engineer”. While there are said to be multiple engineers, Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report that Ian Whyte will portray one of them. He will soon be referred to as our “creator” or “God”…

Whyte also worked in costume as the Predator in both Alien vs. Predator films. We’ll hopefully have more soon as there are quite a bit of interesting rumors surrounding this casting. We’ll work on confirming before we report back. READ MORE

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. You’ll find all of the juicy bits after the break, click the link at the bottom for the interview in full. READ MORE
