Ridley Scott's Prometheus Coming March 9, 2012!
Source: 20th Century Fox, January 14, 2011
Twentieth Century Fox announced today that Ridley Scott will direct Prometheus, an original science fiction epic, for worldwide release on March 9, 2012. The initial draft of the script was written by Jon Spaihts (The Darkest Hour) from Scott's idea. Damon Lindelof ("Lost," Star Trek) and Scott have since been working together on the current version which has expanded the story into new directions.
Story details are being closely guarded so as not to spoil surprises for moviegoers, but Scott explained the outlines of the film and its genesis as follows: "While 'Alien' was indeed the jumping off point for this project, out of the creative process evolved a new, grand mythology and universe in which this original story takes place. The keen fan will recognize strands of 'Alien's' DNA, so to speak, but the ideas tackled in this film are unique, large and provocative. I couldn't be more pleased to have found the singular tale I'd been searching for, and finally return to this genre that's so close to my heart."
"In a world flooded with prequels, sequels and reboots," said Lindelof. "I was incredibly struck by just how original Ridley's vision was for this movie. It's daring, visceral and hopefully, the last thing anyone expects. When I sat in a movie theater as a kid, feet raised off the floor for fear that something might grab my ankles, I never dreamed in my wildest imagination I would one day get to collaborate with the man responsible for it. Working alongside him has been nothing short of a dream come true."
Of the five major roles to be cast, Noomi Rapace is the first actor signed to star in the film. The young Swedish actress landed the role of scientist Elizabeth Shaw after Scott saw her portrayal of fictional Lisbeth Salander in the film The Girl With a Dragon Tattoo, for which she was lauded by Time magazine as a 2010 Performance of the Year. Rapace starred in all three entries of the breakout global franchise based on Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy of books (The Girl Who Played with Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest are the other two entries), which have collectively grossed more than $212 million worldwide.
The other major roles will be cast shortly.
Prometheus (Ridley Scott, 2012)
Und es wird doch ein Prequel:
Quelle: "Prometheus": Ridley Scott bleibt im Alien-Universum (filmstarts.de)"In den Pinewood Studios wurde das aus dem ersten "Alien"-Film bekannte Space-Jockey-Cockpit nachgebaut, der Film wird also definitiv auch im selben Universum spielen. Trotz der gegenteiligen Presse, die bekannten Aliens im H.R.-Giger-Stil spielen auf jeden Fall eine Rolle." Außerdem gibt die Quelle neue Informationen zum Drehort und zur Handlung der Filme preis: "Teile des Films werden in Marokko gedreht. Ich habe gehört, dass es dort eine Art archäologische Ausgrabung geben wird, bei der die Forscher auf Alien-DNA stoßen, die sie zur Alien-Welt führt. Das Raumschiff in dem Film wird von einem riesigen Kopf gesteuert, ich nehme an mit CGI."
Fassbender Reveals Who He is in Prometheus
Source: Entertainment Weekly, February 26, 2011
Michael Fassbender, who can be seen in the upcoming Jane Eyre and X-Men: First Class, revealed to Entertainment Weekly who he is playing in Ridley Scott's Prometheus.
Considering the way he said it, or actually didn't say anything all, it is of course a given that this detail about his character is not supposed to be out in the open yet. If you would rather not know what was revealed, then turn back now.
Fassbender said that the "script is really intelligent and has a nice pace to it." Asked again about the film's connection to Alien, he added, "It's a different story, but it's also got the traditional roots. Alien fans will recognize things in it. It's not ignoring Alien, there's still a link to that world. But it's a different story. It's definitely connected, though."
Spoiler:
And then he was asked whether he'll be playing an android in the film, at which time he laughed and said, "I don't know what I can say!" While he said that, he looked down at the reporter's tape recorder and then nodded affirmatively.

Als Teaser okay - aber nach dem (künstlichen) Hype letztlich doch etwas enttäuschend.
Und schon wieder das "Inception"-Trailer-Musikkonzept zu verwenden - naja...

Irgendwie frage ich mich regelmäßig, ob wir das gleiche Material sehen. Das Gezeigte sieht auf alle Fälle hochgradig vielversprechend aus, da ist es mir auch völlig egal, ob das Trailerkonzept originell oder geklaut ist.StS hat geschrieben:Teaser-Trailer:

Tja kami, die individuellen Wirklichkeiten unterscheiden sich eben nicht nur bei Moppen. 
Ich finde den Trailer auch genial, von allen Trailern für 2012 versprüht Prometheus das größte Potential. Absolut fantastischer Mix aus Retrolook (alleine der Schriftzug und das ganze Gefährt welches an Aliens erinnert) und State of the Art FX, sieht nach einem Fest aus.

Ohne den Trailerschriftzug und die 1-2 bekannten Images hätte am Ende auch "Pandorum 2" (oder so) stehen können - also vom Look und so her. Sieht (bislang) wie ein feiner Sci-Fi-Streifen aus - aber (noch) nicht wie einer, der ebentuell tatsächlich an Klassiker wie "Alien" oder "Aliens" heranreichen könnte. Das Potential hat der Film, da hat Timo Recht - aber da muss echt noch was kommen, um nicht nur "ein weiterer Streifen" in der "Alien"-Franchise dabei rauszukommen...
