- PROMETHEUS
As momentum builds for Ridley Scott's Prometheus,
writer-producer Damon Lindelof has decided to share some insight on what to
expect from this upcoming quasi-Alien prequel-thing.
MTV sat down with the former Lost executive producer to get
the latest scoop on what's in store. In regards to cast member Michael
Fassbender (X-Men: First Class), Lindelof said that they're taking a different
approach to the android subset in Prometheus.
"He plays a robot," Lindelof said. "One of
the things that evokes the idea of Blade Runner is, 'What does the movie look
like from the robot's point of view?' If you were to ask him, 'What do you
think about all of this? What's going on? What do you think about these humans
who are around you?,' wouldn't it be cool if we found a way for that robot to
answer those questions. When you cast a guy like Fassbender, who's going to
bring a lot more to it... it's not Anthony Daniels. All due respect. He's
phenomenal. But C-P3O..."

"I think one of the really cool things about the first
Alien, if you watch it cold, Ripley is kind in the background like one of the
crew members... and suddenly Sigourney Weaver, in the last 40 minutes of the
movie, is the only one left alive. I think the idea of building a really cool
ensemble and again presenting the audience with like, 'Who's going to be left
standing at the end of this movie?' Maybe all of them. Probably not."
The official synopsis recently released describes Prometheus
as a "groundbreaking mythology in which a team of explorers discover a
clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a thrilling journey to
the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle
to save the future of the human race."
Prometheus is currently slated for a June 2012 release. Stay
tuned for more details as they come.
