Ahh, Prometheus, you utter bastard. I was so excited to see the Ridley Scott film that I actually enjoyed it! That is until the lights came up and the sway of cinema magic started dissipating. As I got past the lines of waiting people to go in I wanted to shout ‘Don’t do it! Don’t waste your brain! At the very …

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. After all, it was just the other day that Prometheus 2 was …

What’s in a name? A Prometheus sequel by any other name is still just a Prometheus sequel, right?

I’m going with Alien: Re-resurrection: I live, I die, I live again! However last night the South African-born director took to Twitter to inform his …

According to an interview with The Daily Beast, Ridley Scott claims that Neill Blomkamp’s in-development, still-untitled Alien film will be released in 2017. Slip of the tongue? Misprint? While we still know very little about Blomkamp’s film other than the concept art – Is it a sequel? How are some of the characters alive? – the only requisite placed on Blomkamp’s …

Director Ridley Scott has a lot on his plate at the moment. He’s currently out and about doing press rounds to promote The Martian, starring Matt Damon as an astronaut stranded on… Mars, which was very well received following its screening at the Toronto International Film Festival; and it’s a timely return to form for the legendary director because he’s also …
