  In a year full of comic book films my must see movie is Prometheus. Ridley Scott is set to reinvigorate science fiction again.

  Ridley Scott’s return to science fiction will dive deeper into the Alien universe he created. Michael Fassbender is praising his Prometheus director for exploring new territory and classic approach to building suspense in a new interview with IFC.

  “It’s a slow burn,” Fassbender said. “There are again sort of action sequences in it of course, but they’re there at the right time to serve the plot as opposed to just filling in another scene.”

The man who played a young Magneto in X-Men: First Class credits Lost writer Damon Lindelof for his script.

“There are connecting veins and you will recognize things,but it’s like wow this is a whole new world altogether,” Fassbender said.

The connections between Alien and Prometheus will be clear on June 9th. The star gives assurance from the director who gave us the Space Jockey, his ship and those nasty aliens.

“I haven’t seen anything yet, “Fassbender said, “but speaking to Ridley and he seems to be pretty happy.”
