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? Well, I certainly hope so because either director Ridley Scott’s memory is going (hey, the man is 77!), or he’s going through some kind of identity crisis. Just recently we heard that the upcoming sequel to not-an-Alien-prequel Prometheus was going to be …
Ridley Scott’s Prometheus had a very interesting development lifecycle. It began as a straight up prequel to Scott’s 1979 masterpiece Alien, and then it suddenly wasn’t a prequel any more. Then the movie came out and for the first 95% it was indeed its own beast, until a different beast showed up which kinda made you think it was actually …
For a brief while it looked like we’d see two movies set in the Alien universe being released in 2017 – Ridley Scott’s Prometheus sequel, Alien: Paradise Lost, and Neill Blomkamp’s untitled Alien 5 sequel. 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 …
One thing I have enjoyed about Marvel’s movies is the fact that they don’t take themselves too seriously. They are fun. There is laughter, and silliness. Sure, Captain America: Winter Soldier lent more towards a serious action/thriller and Daredevil is definitely not light but none of those come close to the content and subject matter of The Man in the High Castle. The pilot episode …
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 …
This week, Matt Damon gets lost in space, N.W.A. teach us the history of rap, the kids get an early Halloween treat, two local films generate some buzz and Nicholas Cage does what Nicholas Cage does best… star in a terrible movie. The Martian During a manned mission to Mars, Astronaut Mark Watney (Matt Damon) is presumed dead after a fierce …
If last year’s Interstellar was director Chris Nolan’s philosophical call-to-arms about achieving impossible dreams out in space through the power of unbridled imagination, then Ridley Scott’s The Martian stands as both it’s thematic opposite and cinematic brother-in-arms: a wildly thrilling testament to how nothing but hard science braininess can overcome the most improbable odds in our celestial quest (Provided you …
