The first Prometheus teaser trailer was fantastic, right? Just the right amount of visuals and plot to get us hooked. Fox followed that last month with the phenomenal theatrical trailer which almost too much to handle. For many of us, the second trailer already revealed more than we wanted to know from Ridley Scott‘s Alien prequel starring Noomi Rapace, Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender and Guy Pearce. However, surely some people want more. Possibly a lot more.
If anyone is hungry for the best look at Prometheus yet, this brand-new, three-minute international launch trailer delivers the goods. Longer than each of those trailers, this one is filled with way more story and spoilers than the other two combined. Check it out below. Read More »

Fox has released a new ‘making-of’ clip for Ridley Scott‘s Prometheus, and just as with all the other footage we’ve seen from the film, it makes the film look spectacular.
This is basically an electronic press kit (EPK) type clip, packed with brief interview bits in which the actors talk about how wonderful it is to work with Ridley Scott, with film footage intercut to illustrate their point. EPK clips are often rather silly. But when the footage looks like this, and the behind the scenes video of the sets looks like this stuff does, it really isn’t difficult to take the interviews at face value. I suspect a lot of you would have done very bad things to spend some time on this set. I would have.

Is there any project in Hollywood that has the potential to boast a hotter cast than Ridley Scott‘s The Counselor? Man of the moment Michael Fassbender was the first to board the project back in February, while Brad Pitt and Javier Bardem signed on last week. (Bardem beat out another shining star, Jeremy Renner, for his part.) And that’s just the people who are actually locked in. Angelina Jolie‘s been circling for the past couple of weeks, and now Penélope Cruz is considering jumping in as well. More details after the jump.

Some weeks ago Fox began to launch a series of promotional video spots meant to expand our knowledge of the world of Ridley Scott‘s new film Prometheus. The first featured Guy Pearce as industrialist Peter Weyland; the second was a very brief introduction to the android David, played by Michael Fassbender.
Now, in a new video, we’re given a far more thorough portrait of David. It’s almost like an old video dating spot meant to tell potential suitors all they might want to know about David’s personality and interests. In fact, because this is modeled as a sales pitch for the ultra-lifelike David android model, the line between advertisement and dating profile is quite thin. There isn’t much difference between ‘client’ and ‘suitor’ when one is shopping for a human replacement, is there?

Many of us have likely got to a point with Ridley Scott‘s Prometheus where enough is enough. We’ve seen the clips, we’ve seen the trailers, things are starting to reveal themselves that are better discovered in the theater and if tickets were on sale right now, we’d buy one. In fact, most of us were probably at that point when the names Ridley Scott, Damon Lindelof and Alien were joined up with a cast featuring Noomi Rapace, Idris Elba, Michael Fassbender and Charlize Theron. You give us big-budget, smart sci-fi that looks as good as Promethues and we’re sold.
But sorry, everyone, we can’t be that selfish. There are likely many, many other people who still need to be sold on such a potentially amazing concept and the TV spots and trailers for Prometheus will continue right up until the film’s release. Case in point, a Russian trailer has been revealed that has new glimpses at previously seen scenes and tension upon tension.
So if you still crave awesome looking, bad-ass Prometheus footage, even if it’s in a different language, it lies below. Read More »

It seems like Jeremy Renner‘s been up for every juicy role in Hollywood these past couple of years, but apparently even he’s no match for Javier Bardem. Both went up last month for Ridley Scott‘s Cormac McCarthy-scripted thriller The Counselor, with Bardem said to be the preferred choice, and indeed, the Spanish star has now officially sealed the deal. Also just locked is Brad Pitt, who was first rumored for the picture a few weeks ago. The pair join lead Michael Fassbender, who — despite all the A-list interest in Scott’s latest project — was the only confirmed star up to this point.
Meanwhile, it’s looking increasingly likely that Pitt’s Mr. and Mrs. Smith co-star / real-life partner Angelina Jolie will board the cast as well, in a more significant role than we previously suspected. More details after the jump.

There are about a million reasons to look foward to the arrival of warmer weather each year, but for cinephiles, one of the biggest is the summer movie season. This year’s crop looks like a nicely varied one, and two of the titles I’ve been most eager to see couldn’t be more different. Ridley Scott‘s Prometheus seems as serious and futuristic as Wes Anderson‘s Moonrise Kingdom does whimsical and retro, but they both look pretty fantastic if you ask me. Check out new images from both films after the jump.
