The Hollywood Reporter have got a nice little Prometheus feature up. It’s sort of a preview of the upcoming May 25 issue of the Hollywood Reporter magazine. They’ve posted two new concept art pieces from the film as well as a couple of behind-the-scenes shots. The article also revealed the Prometheus budget to be between $120M to $130M and contains 1300 CGI shots. They’ve posted a lot of other snippets of information too. It should be a nice little article when the magazine comes out.
