My review for Ridley Scott’s Prometheus is up now waiting to be read. Firstly, check out this IMAX poster that has a very cool retro/70s look to it. Or, if that’s not enough, why not watch these clips, see if they’re enough to convince you to leave the filthy squalor of your house for the shiny brilliance of the movie screen. Continue reading
I know nearly every review for the film will make mention of this so I’m going to get it out of the way at the start – Prometheus sees Ridley Scott’s long-awaited return to sci-fi, a genre where he made such stone-cold classics as Alien and Blade Runner. Can Prometheus possibly live up to such a lofty billing, or will it be fanboy crushing damp squib like a certain Phantom Menace? Read on and find out.
The release of Prometheus (here in the UK, at least) is only two days away. The first reviews are out and doing the rounds. Here are the thoughts of The Hollywood Reporter, Empire, and Total Film if you want to know if the film lives up to the hype. Beware of spoilers, of course. In the meantime, why don’t you watch a load of featurettes about Ridley Scott’s return to sci-fi. Go on. It’ll be fun*.

This not the new Prometheus poster, by the way. This is the teaser poster from before Christmas when the marketing for the film was still going for the subtle and mysterious, not the “let’s show them EVERYTHING so there’s no drama or surprises left when they go to the cinema to see it” we’re getting now. Maybe, just maybe, we’re not being shown everything and Ridley Scott’s return to sci-fi will shock and surprise like his original Alien did. We live in hope.
I’d like to stand around and chat a bit about nothing in particular, as is my usual style, but we have so many Prometheus pics, clips, and vids to get through I thought I would launch straight into it. Like, right now. Continue reading
This is the third viral video we’ve discovered from Ridley Scott’s Prometheus. The first was the fantastic TED talk by Peter Weyland (Guy Pearce), where he spoke of the possibility of space exploration and artificial life. The second was a brief teaser for Michael Fassbender’s android David. Now we a full on advert for David 8. Why 8? He’s the eighth generation of android. Watch the video after the jump.

The drip drip feed of pics from Ridley Scott’s Prometheus has become something of a flood in recent weeks. I’m not one for hyperbole but I’ve collected as many of these shots together as possible to give you an update of truly epic proportions. *Cough*. So, let’s get to it, shall we? Continue reading
Quality or quantity? Quality or quantity? Promotional-wise, The Avengers went the quantity route with twenty new shots from the movie. Ridley Scott’s Prometheus went with quality and, boy, are these new pics the very definition of quality. Continue reading
