Actress Noomi Rapace States That The Script For ‘Prometheus’ Sequel Is In The Works

February 27th, 2013 Dayton O'Connor

The Playlist got a doozy of a scoop while they were chatting with actress Noomi Rapace.

During a press junket for her upcoming thriller Dead Man Down (due out March 8), IndieWire writer Ben Taylor turned the topic of conversation from Rapace’s definite upcoming project to more speculative fare. Specifically, the possibility of a sequel to Prometheus, last year’s Ridley Scott helmed sorta-prequel to the Alien film franchise. And who better to ask than the heroine of the first (potential) installment and parenthetical followup?

On the possibility of a “Prometheus 2″, Rapace had this to say:

Movie Sequel Round-Up: Prometheus, X-Men: First Class, And Thor 2

August 2nd, 2012 Grace Duffy

It may seem that Hollywood is swiftly becoming naught but a hotbed of sequels and reboots, but three high-profile projects in the news this morning at least have real potential. First up, Ridley Scott has been hinting at a sequel to his recent sci-fi opus Prometheus, with sources pointing to a 2014 or 2015 release date. It seems Scott and studio Fox have been discussing the mooted follow-up with potential writers and aim to continue the story of Noomi Rapace’s Elizabeth Shaw and Michael Fassbender’s David (or rather, David’s disembodied head) and their journey across the skies.

EDITORIAL: “Prometheus: How the Sci-Fi Flick’s R-Rating Helped It Conquer Audiences Worldwide”

June 12th, 2012 Boris Paskhaver

Earlier this year, Universal cancelled a proposed $150 million adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft’s At The Mountains of Madness when director Guillermo del Toro refused to settle for less than an R-rating. A fervent devotee of the novella, the Pan’s Labyrinth director had been working on the script for more than half a decade and didn’t want to see the darkness in the original story toned down on screen by a PG-13. Big-budget blockbusters are so amazing in their scale – think of the thousands of hours poured into a film by thousands of talented people – that it seems humorous …

MOVIE REVIEW: Prometheus

June 4th, 2012 James Shotwell

Film: Prometheus
Starring: Noomi Rapace, Logan Marshall-Green and Michael Fassbender
Directed by: Ridley Scott

There’s an Alien-shaped elephant in the room. Two viewings of this film later, I still haven’t quite formed a proper opinion. Let this not dismay or beguile you – it seems to be divisive, and even after prolonged analysis and breakdowns with my friend last night (cos we know how to have a happening weekend), I’m still no closer to deciding whether I like it or not. Prometheus is, objectively speaking, a good film. I wouldn’t go as far as to call it very good, …

WATCH: Prometheus Featurette – Visions

May 24th, 2012 Jacob Tender

Two weeks people, that’s it. We only have 14 more days to wait before this summer’s top Sci-fi film hits theaters and blows our minds. In keeping with tradition, we have more daily Prometheus goodness for you.

Today’s Xeno-morsel is a featurette including some film footage and dialogue from the actors and director of the film. The topic is the overall vision of the movie and what we can come to expect, visually.

I’m not a big fan of 3D theatre, I get woozy easily, but I think Scott will be utilizing it in moderation for Prometheus, adding depth and …

MOVIE FEATURETTE: Prometheus – Origins Of The Story

May 11th, 2012 Jacob Tender

For a long time, we’ve wondered just exactly what an Alien prequel would entail. What route would director, Ridley Scott go in the telling of the Xenomorph’s origins?

Well it appears that the story to be told in Prometheus is actually the origins of HUMAN existence. The plot of the upcoming blockbuster will feature two scientists who have discovered multiple cases of ancient people worshipping large alien-like beings.

This begins an intergalactic hunt for answers. The questions of “who are we?” and “where do we come from?” fuel the script. Did an alien race seed life on Earth? What was …

WATCH: Prometheus International Launch Trailer

April 29th, 2012 Jacob Tender

June 8th really can’t come soon enough, can it? Yet another trailer for this summer’s biggest sci-fi blockbuster, Prometheus has landed on the web.

This trailer is about 3 minutes in length and gives a bit more insight to the roles of the film’s main characters. After landing, you’ll see a team going over the information they already know before they begin their research. It looks quite a lot like the run-down scene in the first of the Alien Vs. Predator cross-over films. From then on, it gets intense. In this trailer you will see first looks at new species, …

MOVIE TRAILER: Prometheus

March 17th, 2012 Jacob Tender

Ok guys, this is it. We finally have the feature trailer for Ridley Scott’s upcoming Sci-fi epic, Prometheus. Today we gave you Trailer B which was sort of dull to be perfectly honest. But that that one lacked, this one makes up with full force and clarity.

Scott’s Prometheus is, loosely, a prequel to the now legendary Alien series and is set to take place in the same universe. This film, however, will not include mentioning of the events of Alien (or it’s related films like AvP) and will rather explore its own ideas and expand the universe Scott …
