As I have said in my previous post, this has been a great week for movie trailers. Today it was the trailer for …
RIDLEY SCOTT’S PROMETHEUS!
… which is scheduled for release in June, 2012.
Synposis (courtesy of 20th Century Fox):
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.
The Prometheus team have really upped the ante – we were treated to three official teasers to the official trailer, which can be seen here:
To paraphrase Ridley Scott, it is going to be epic!

December 23, 2011 at 1:21 amHi, iluv and company:
Am I the only one who thinks the ‘Prometheus’ trailer looks like an ‘Inception’ take on a game of Halo?
Intriguing, nonetheless.
PS: I have a guest Top Ten List at Scott’s FRC that should be of interest. All are invited.

December 23, 2011 at 2:07 amWill be sure to check it out!
As for Prometheus Trailer, I have heard some compare it to Inception. As for the Halo reference, I do not know much about Halo, except that folks are addicted to playing. But I can assume by the reference that it has some sci-fi elements to it (?)

December 23, 2011 at 9:08 amThis cast is unbelievable. Ridley Scott + this über-cast should equal an amazing flic. I’m geeked for this. And unlike Dark Knight Rising, this is a much tighter trailer.

December 23, 2011 at 9:50 amDefinitely much tighter and agree about the cast … especially happy to see Guy Pearce in the credits. He dropped off for a minute.
