You know what, I am just going to come out and say it. I thought ‘master’ director Ridley Scott’s Prometheus was rubbish. Honestly, I haven’t had my intelligence assaulted like that since Trevor tried explaining where he thought babies came from. At a recent press conference in Sydney the director spoke a bit about the upcoming (recently renamed) sequel Alien: Covenant, a …
It would seem that Ridley Scott is in fact not losing his marbles. After it was reported yesterday that the veteran director used a new title to refer to his long awaited Prometheus sequel, some thought that maybe Scott had maybe got it confused with another project he was working on.

One thing that disappointed many fans of the Aliens universe was that they never got to see a full-fledged Xenomorph get some face(hugging)-time in Prometheus – in spite of them being reasonably clear about it before release. That disappointment looks set to continue as in a recent interview with Yahoo UK, director Ridley Scott had this to say about the iconic …
There’s been a lot said about Prometheus around here – a lot – and most of what was said by me was that while I found director Ridley Scott’s long awaited 2012 return to sci-fi to be an uneven film with the dumbest smart people you’ll ever see, I had hopes for redemption from the planned sequel. A sequel that then seemed to …
