This morning, 20th Century Fox held a press event in London’s Leicester Square and showed off around 15 minutes of footage from Prometheus and held a Q&A session with director Ridley Scott and stars Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender and Charlize Theron. There are a few reports online so far:
The footage opens in the year 2089 where Shaw finds some markings inside a cave (filmed on the island of Sky). Then the footage cuts to 2093 showing David and Vickers on the Prometheus ship. We’re introduced to the characters before a holographic Peter Weyland explains their mission. Read the full reports for more information. Beware of major spoilers. One thing they make clear is that the planet the story takes place on is not LV-426 but another planet called LV-223. Thanks to Darkoo for the news.
An official Facebook app has been launched for Prometheus. It’s sort of an interactive starmap and there’s a few hidden production stills worth checking out.
There’s also a couple of animated GIFs. You can find the production stills and the animated GIFs in this thread. Thanks to Cvalda for the news.
Fox Russia have tweeted the cover of the forthcoming issue of Russian magazine, Total DVD. Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender are on the front cover in their spacesuits. Not sure when the issue will be released.
All 18 pictures that featured in the Prometheus article in Empire magazine last week are now available in high quality stills via Russian movie site KinoGallery. Check them out there or in the forum.
In related news, there’s a minor interview with Guy Pearce on CineMovie. He doesn’t say a whole lot, just that Prometheus is a stand-alone movie. There’s another interview with Prop master Grant Pearmain in MovieScope Magazine. His company made the life-support units inside the characters’ spacesuits. Thanks to ikarop and PrometheusMovieNews for the news.
Forum member Michael Harper has just sent us a new set of scans from the latest issue of Empire Magazine which features a 18-page article on Prometheus. The article includes several new pictures, character descriptions and interviews. There’s also a mention to what the next piece of marketing will be like. A very interesting read. Check out the scans by clicking the image below.
Thanks again to Michael Harper for these fantastic images.
Another TV Spot for Prometheus has aired. This time it was seen on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim last Saturday. While not as spoilerific as the last TV spot, it still features some new scenes and dialogue.
Another new TV spot for Prometheus aired last night during a basketball game on CBS. Fortunately, someone has uploaded it to Youtube and it shows lots of new footage from the film. New shots include someone walking in a Space Jockey chamber with three towers; Shaw and Holloway kissing, and a quick shot of another ship flying past the camera.
The Weyland Industries website has been updated once again, this time adding a very extensive section called “Investor Information“. This new section focuses around the most recent financial information of the company. It includes details on earth’s resources, health care, sales growth, Project Prometheus and much more. It’s worth mentioning that the earth’s resources section includes a mysterious mineral called ‘Eitr’. Eitr is a mythical substance in Norse mythology. According to Wikipedia, this liquid substance is the origin of all living things. Other fictional mineral resources listed on the page include Orichalcum and Carmot. You can read the whole section here at the official website.
A new still has been found on the Project Prometheus viral website. The password for the login page is DDM2DDM2DDM2AMAMAMBIGBIGBIGBMESMPP, aka Cosmic Call 2. A signal sent to HD 245409, Orion, and expected to arrive in August 2040. The picture shows the Prometheus crew as well as part of the ‘Pyramid‘ seen in the most recent trailers. Be sure to check it out below.
You should all remember the mysterious Project Prometheus website that went live last weekend. It’s entirely blank aside from two hidden passworded pages, eridu and 245409. We just received an e-mail from seeasea containing an image of the Prometheus that he says is from the eridu link!
There’s no word on how he managed to crack the code but he’s kindly shared them with us.
Update #1: Turns out some fans deciphered the password to the eridu website following some hints left on Twitter. The password is tell abu shahrain. You find read more about it in our forums.
