Is Prometheus
worth the wait? Does it live up the
hype? This weekend hundreds of thousands
of people will crowd theaters for Ridley Scott’s long awaited return to sci-fi
with Prometheus. For over a year fans have been trying to figure
out if Prometheus is a prequel to
Scott’s 1979 Alien…or not. So is it, or isn’t it? The film contains “strands of Alien’s DNA,” hints
director Ridley Scott. Which after
seeing the movie, I find it’s the perfect description.
Prometheus is a prequel of sorts. You don’t need to see Alien to enjoy this masterpiece, but for those fans of Alien, I think watching it again before Prometheus is an added bonus.
The crew finds large dome shaped caverns complete with a maze like network below. Chilling events are set in motion after David, the android, played masterfully by Michael Fassbender, starts touching stuff.
David has an almost childlike quality. He has no fear, no emotions, but has facial expressions are full of wonder and amazement. His mischievous actions could be taken as the inquisitiveness of a child, or programed orders. Of course, we know the answer, but Scott likes to play with our minds. Nevertheless, David accelerates things.
Prometheus is a prequel of sorts. You don’t need to see Alien to enjoy this masterpiece, but for those fans of Alien, I think watching it again before Prometheus is an added bonus.
Greek legend tells us Prometheus was a God who stole fire
from Zeus and gave it to man. For
punishment, he was bound to a rock for eternity. Everyday an eagle would peck out his liver, and
every day it would grow back, just to be pecked at again. There’s a cycle, just as all things have a
cycle. Meredith Vickers (Charlize
Theron) states, “A king has his reign and then he dies.” Again, it’s a cycle. So, is the cycle of the Human race at an end?
Two scientists, Dr. Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) and Dr.
Charles Holloway (Logan Marshall-Green), find ancient drawings and carvings
across Earth from different millennia and civilizations showing the same
message or map. The scientists take this
as an invitation to find the origins of mankind. A group of biologists, geologists, and others
assembled by Weyland industries, which we now know from viral ad campaigns is
the creator of the androids seen in all the movies in the Alien franchise, set
out to find the “Engineers” of our race and end up finding much much more.The crew finds large dome shaped caverns complete with a maze like network below. Chilling events are set in motion after David, the android, played masterfully by Michael Fassbender, starts touching stuff.
David has an almost childlike quality. He has no fear, no emotions, but has facial expressions are full of wonder and amazement. His mischievous actions could be taken as the inquisitiveness of a child, or programed orders. Of course, we know the answer, but Scott likes to play with our minds. Nevertheless, David accelerates things.
Meredith Vickers (Theron) is the company watchdog that
actually seems to have a different agenda than the company; something new to
the Alien franchise. She doesn’t believe in sacrificing human life
to fulfill someone else’s quest for knowledge.
I don’t think Prometheus
lands on LV-426, the planet in Alien. We do see in the many trailers that there is
a ship, a chair, and an alien (affectionately named by fans the “Space Jockey”)
that seem identical to the ones found by Dallas and his crew in Alien.
But Prometheus takes place roughly
30 years prior to the events in Alien
and the planet just looks completely different to me.
But just like the magic of Alien, we don’t see much at first, but when we do…pooh man. Scott lets us see ripples and dripping and
melting and shadows, but saves the big stuff for later. He smoothly progresses from tiny to small to
large to big. As David says, “Big things
have small beginnings.” By allowing the
story to evolve this way, Scott keeps the main focus on the characters and how
they handle evolving situations. Even
the questions constantly evolve, with most being answered with more questions. It is really a philosophical and
psychological thriller.
Scott also gathered a stellar cast (excuse the pun…I couldn’t
help myself). I mainly noticed the
chameleon type actors he chose. Noomi
Rapace, Charlize Theron, and Michael Fassbender have all had recent films
released where their characters are completely different from Prometheus’. I didn’t watch Dr. Shaw and think she’s The
Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. It’s the
same for Meredith Vickers and David; the actors morph themselves into different
people.
Prometheus is beautifully written by Damon Lindelof &
Jon Spaihts. It delves into the quagmire
of religious beliefs vs. scientific evidence, and the questions that linger. Pay close attention to the opening scene, it’s
brilliant. In fact, Lindelof, Spaihts,
and Scott ask the question, if was populated by an alien race, where does God
fit in if anywhere? Most questions are
not answered. They leave that up to us.
One such question could be about the beacon in Alien,
thought to be an SOS, and the cave drawings in Prometheus, thought to be an
invitation to find a civilization. Some
characters later believe they were warnings to stay away, but what if they were
an invitation and an SOS to lure us in?
This is a type of the delicious questions you will have leaving the
theater.
Not that you need any more reasons to see Prometheus, another new featurette is released. We see more of what I think is the alien figure in a chair apparatus at the begining of Alien and commentary from Ridley Scott himself.
In theaters June 8th.

Well, it looks like at least one crew member won’t make it
home, or will he/she? Ridley Scott has
kept us guessing for months whether Prometheus is a prequel to Alien or
not. Though he says no, we have found
out there is a tie-in to the Alien franchise with the robot/cyborg creator,
Weyland Industries.
SPOILERS:
The new international trailer for Prometheus offers more
views of what we can expect. I suspect these
may not the aliens we’ve seen before, but it appears Ridley has included a new,
more terrifying face sucker plus an eye worm. Eww, gotta love that. There's also a glimpse of what looks like the dead alien and it's chair for the beginning of Alien. One thing
is for sure; Prometheus will increase your heart rate, terrify you, and make
you think twice about visiting a strange planet in hopes of finding alien life
forms. “Big things have small
beginnings.”
Enjoy this new featurette for Ridley Scott’s Prometheus. This is my most anticipated movie this
year. Dare I even say more than The Avengers? Scott teases us again with some behind the
scenes footage mixed in with scenes from the film. I can’t stand the teasing, yet I love
it. Keep ‘em coming Ridley.
The film stars Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Idris Elba, Guy Pearce, Rafe Spall, Sean Harris, Logan Marshall-Green, and Charlize Theron. Prometheus opens in 3D on June 8th.

On Saturday, March 17th at 4 p.m. PST/ 7 p.m. EST, legendary director Ridley Scott premiered the first full trailer for one of 2012's most anticipated films, PROMETHEUS, at the AMC Downtown Disney in Anaheim, CA. This invite-only premiere followed a 30 minutes Q&A session with the iconic director conducted by Prometheus writer/producer Damon Lindelof (Co-creator, Executive Producer and Writer of TV's LOST). You can watch the Q&A on Livestream.
During the Q&A, an audience member asked if there would be a scene like in Alien where the cast didn't know that something was going to pop out of John Hurt's chest. Scott grinned and simply responded, "Oh yeah." Scott also made a point that he doesn't like "Old school" as a term for not using CGI. He commented that CGI is much more expensive than "Sensible school" and "Practical sets," commenting that it takes the actors out of the set, "Actors are in a green or blue vacuumm and everyone is guessing." He also said that there is always a repair bill at the end that is expensive. He feels Prometheus, "... came out rather economical on a seriously good looking film."
There was some discussion on the evolution and scientific tone of the film. Lindelof posed the question "Will there be any scientific discovery in my lifetime that may change my beliefs of God? We don't have the answer to it, but the movie is certainly asking that question."
June 8th can not come soon enough. I lost count how many times I've watched this new trailer, it's that good. All hail the return of Scott to sci-fi. I better start saving up, cause I have a feeling I will see Prometheous multiple times and will discover something new with each viewing.
Here's the official synopsis for Prometheus:
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.

Lincoln: Vampire Hunter...in 3D— 20th Century Fox and WonderCon attendees
have two big reasons to celebrate the year's event. Sir Ridley Scott, director
of Alien and Blade Runner, returns to the genre he helped
define and he'll be live on stage to tell you all aboutPrometheus, his
epic and groundbreaking new mythology. Sir Ridley and co-screenwriter Damon
Lindelof will screen some exclusive footage.
You'll also meet this country's 16th president and first
superhero -- Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, which explores the
secret life of our greatest leader, and the untold story that shaped our
nation. The filmmakers will screen special footage, which presents the
visionary work of producer Tim Burton and director Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted),
who bring a fresh and visceral voice to the classic portrayal of the
bloodthirsty vampire, while imagining Lincoln as history's greatest hunter of
the undead. Ballroom, Third Level
As awesome as that announcement is, where the heck is Alan
Tudyk. Yeah, yeah, I know he's not the actual star of Abraham Lincoln:
Vampire Hunter, but he's fantastic on panels. As of right now none of the stars
of either movies are set to be there, but there is still time so that could
change.
Prometheus Synopsis: A team of explorers discover
a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a journey to the

Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, discovers vampires are
planning to take over the United States. He makes it his mission to eliminate
them. In theaters June 22, 2012
For months, rumors have been flying. Scenes from Prometheus look eerily similar to Alien. The Director, Ridley Scott, has been elusive along with the crew and cast. Is it a sequel or a prequel? Does it have anything to do with Alien or just familiar movie sets from the same mind?
Finally, a Viral marketing campaign reveals a connection between Prometheus and Alien. The TED 2023 Blog reports:
Peter Weyland has been a magnet for controversy since he announced his intent to build the first convincingly humanoid robotic system by the end of the decade.
Whether challenging the ethical boundaries of medicine with nanotechnology or going toe to toe with the Vatican itself on the issue of gene-therapy sterilization, Sir Peter prides himself on his motto, “If we can, we must.” After a three year media blackout, Weyland has finally emerged to reveal where he’s heading next. Wherever that may be, we will most certainly want to follow.
Sir Peter Weyland was born in Mumbai, India at the turn of the Millennium. The progeny of two brilliant parents; His mother, an Oxford Educated Professor of Comparative Mythology, his father, a self-taught software Engineer, it was clear from an early age that Sir Peter’s capabilities would only be eclipsed by his ambition to realize them. By the age of fourteen, he had already registered a dozen patents in a wide range of fields from biotech to robotics, but it would be his dynamic break-throughs in generating synthetic atmosphere above the polar ice cap that gained him worldwide recognition and spawned an empire.
In less than a decade, Weyland Corporation became a worldwide leader in emerging technologies and launched the first privatized industrial mission to leave the planet Earth. “There are other worlds than this one,” Sir Peter boldly declared, “And if there is no air to breathe, we will simply have to make it.”
Conceived and designed by Ridley Scott and Damon Lindelof and directed by Luke Scott.
Guy Pierce as Peter Weyland.
Still Not Convinced? Anyone familiar with The Alien movies will link the Weyland-Yutani corporation, as the company that the Nostromo worked for in Alien.
