“Prometheus” Creature is “Every Woman’s Nightmare”

  Secrets of Prometheus are unfolding like those slick eggs peeling away in Alien. The creature in the new film takes on four different forms as it grows and changes “organically” in what actress Noomi Rapace calls “every woman’s nightmare” according to an upcoming story in The Hollywood Reporter.

  Do you remember seeing the international trailer? It featured a creature that reminded me of one of those things inside the belly of the monster in the asteroid on The Empire Strikes Back but a lot nastier.  What kind of cargo is that “Space Jockey” carrying?

  Here’s a new viral video for Ridley Scott’s Prometheus. First came the Ted talk 2023 video with Guy Pearce as Peter Weyland then a creepy faux commercial for Michael Fassbender’s android David. Noomi Rapace as Dr. Elizabeth Shaw stars in the latest video Quiet Eye found on the Verizon FIOS facebook page. In the video Dr. Shaw is pleading her case to Peter Weyland.

Did you see the creep analyzing and the Yutani logo? It seems like in Prometheus Weyland and Yutani are separate companies.

You can’t trust any of those ——- from Weyland! A new TV spot for Ridley Scott’s Prometheus in on YouTube. Charlize Theron may be fairy tale evil in Snow White and the Huntsman but you can see the corporate evil seething under the surface of her character, Meredith Vickers. Michael Fassbender may be playing the android but there’s something very inhuman about Theron’s corporate officer.

The Alien Landscape of “Prometheus” in Scotland

  You don’t have to board Prometheus to visit the alien landscape in Ridley Scott’s sci-fi epic. The director filmed on the Isle of Sky in Scotland. I’m a travel buff along with being a geek. Lord of the Rings was part of my inspiration to visit New Zealand. 

 VisitScotland is hoping the film will inspire movie fans to experience the Isle of Sky according to the Daily Mail. Chairman Mike Cantlay said:  ‘As thousands of holidaymakers discover every year, Skye possesses an ethereal, out-of-this-world quality, so it is no surprise that Ridley Scott chose the island to shoot scenes for Prometheus.

  Here’s the trailer that shows the rocky landscape of the Isle of Sky seen in Prometheus.

  The new James Bond film Skyfall is filming in Scotland at Duntrune Castle. The 007 film title refers to Skyfall Lodge.

Prometheus Rated R

  Ridley Scott’s Prometheus will be rated R. The news came via a ticket stub you can see on  Collider.com. The studio confirmed the MPAA rating is “for sci-fi violence including some intense images and brief language.”

  Before the rating decision 20th Century Fox’s Tom Rothman said “This I can tell you and I can tell all the fans, not one frame will be cut. The movie will be what it should be. We will not cut a frame of the film,” he promised. “We will stand behind it 100 percent and if that means it’s an R, then so be it, because not an ounce, not a percentage are we going to compromise the film.”

  A rated R summer tent pole movie may not be the best financial decision so I commend Scott and Fox to following his vision. Personally I’m thrilled that this is the movie Scott wants to make and it’s not edited for a bigger audience. I commend Fox and can’t wait to see the film.  Let’s take a moment to enjoy the trailer and salute Ridley Scott’s return to sci-fi!
