Ridley Scott's PROMETHEUS thread
Ridley Scott's potential sci-fi masterpiece is about to land! This movie has almost everything to become a huge hit (both critically and commercially):
- All-star cast which includes Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron, BAFTA-nominated actress Noomi Rapace as well as Golden Globe-nominated actors Michael Fassbender and Guy Pearce.
- Acclaimed director in face of Ridley Scott (Alien, Blade Runner, Gladiator and Black Hawk Down) with passion to introduce something new to the stagnated Alien franchise with screenwriters Damon Lindelof (The Lost) and Jon Spaihts as well as original Alien producers David Giller and Walter Hill (The Warriors).
- Good-old original designes by H. R. Giger and some completely fresh ones from him (several gorgeous murals, according to Ridey Scott).
- Native-3D filming using Red One Epic cameras and mindblowing visual effects from Peter Jackson's WETA Digital on IMAX screens around the world.
- MPAA's R-rating.
Let's wait the last few days and finally see this movie! And then discuss it here.
And about response:
As for evening of 30th of May (read "initial reaction") this film holds green (generally favorable) 63 Metascore based on 4 reviews and 89% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 9 reviews (just one negative review). Initial response is pretty positive and, what is important and interesting, this movie is gonna be the first RT Fresh movie from Alien franchise in 25 years in line with Alien and Aliens.
