- PROMETHEUS
Total Film sat down with Sir Ridley Scott recently to talk
about his long-awaited return to the Alien universe, Prometheus.

| How much of Ridley Scotts Prometheus is connected to his first Sci-fi flick Alien?? |
And while everybody must be incredibly keen to see just how
much Prometheus ties into the Alien mythology, there’s another aspect to the
film that’s exciting. This will mark Scott’s first film with 3D.
TotalFilm: How
was it working in 3D?
Ridley Scott: “I'm
kind of naturally visual anyway, that's where I come from. And you're working
off superb 3D screens, which are on the floor, and are really big. It was just
wonderful.
I was shooting on 3D, then seeing it on the floor. It was
easy, I must say.”
TF: Do you push
it in a way we haven't seen before?
RS: “Well, I
mean, yeah. You only want to push it so far, before it becomes arrows popping
out of the screen and stabbing you in the eye. You use it for visual effect.”
TF: Is it more
immersive, giving depth?
RS: “Yes, yes.
And you can do that afterwards, by the way. I'm actually decided right now how
deep to make it on certain sequences.
So you can literally, as it were, twiddle a knob, and the
depth will increase. It's kind of bizarre, but there it is. Technologically
it's absolutely staggering.
I was working with MPC in London, looking after almost 1,300
big FX shots, and every night they would pipe through shots to a big screen in
my office in Lexington Street; I would sit there watching a sequence that had
just been graded or refined in perfect 3D. Really amazing.”
