Prometheus

The search for our beginning could lead to our end

Aside from the Hobbit, this is the film I am seriously looking forward too this summer. While not a direct prequel (the film is reported to have its own mythology and universe) Ridley Scott says it will be infused with the original 'Alien' film DNA, something that can be seen from the trailer, and something I am very exited about.

The story will be exploring the origins of 'the space jockey' the unknown alien creature that appeared in the first 'Alien' film briefly, as the pilot of the ship where the Alien eggs were found.

The crew of the Prometheus set out on a mission to find out more about the origin of mankind and find more than they bargained for in the deepest regions of the universe. Prometheus was the Titan who stole fire from the gods to give to mankind, a gift that accelerated the human race forever. This theme of acceleration in the films plot was inspired by Erich Von Daniken's writings about ancient astronauts: "Both NASA and the Vatican agree that it is almost mathematically impossible that we can be where we are today, without there being a little help along the way. That's what we're looking at: we are talking about gods and engineers, engineers of space. Were the Aliens designed as a form of biological warfare, or biology that would go in and clean up a planet?".

The film will be staring; Michael Fassbender, Noomi Rapace, Guy Pearce, Idris Elba and Charlize Theron.

Plus H.R.Gieger has been brought in to reverse engineer the original Xenomorph, into a more primitive 'mother version' very exited to see that! Anyway the film is out June 2012, so I suggest you hibernate until then because nothing else is happening in your life.
