PROMETHEUS Mega Post

Ok, so I thought it might be a little more convenient to have one big post on PROMETHEUS instead of the 4 or 5 separate ones I currently have. So I've gathered all of the images and info I could find and combined it into this single PROMETHEUS Mega Post.

First of all there are a few sites which I would like to thank for most of the content:

First Showing
Bloody Disgusting
Horror Movies
TGDaily
Indie Wire
and Prometheus Movie

I'll start off with the boring stuff and then build up to the more interesting stuff later on. Here is the poster art which is very simple, minimal and doesn't reveal much at all.

Next we have the official synopsis released by Fox which, once again doesn't really reveal a lot either.

Synopsis: Visionary filmmaker Ridley Scott returns to the genre he helped define, creating an original science fiction epic set in the most dangerous corners of the universe. The film takes a team of scientists and explorers on a thrilling journey that will test their physical and mental limits and strand them on a distant world, where they will discover the answers to our most profound questions and to life’s ultimate mystery.


However, there was also another synopsis which was released by an undisclosed source and has a lot of people convinced that it may actually be the real thing, even though Fox have categorically declared it to be a 'fake'. And I have to say, it sounds a hell of a lot more interesting than the official one.


Earth. Year 2058.
Archaeological digs in Africa reveals alien artifacts that proves
humans were genetically engineered by a advanced alien race (space
jockeys). These "Alien Gods" also terraformed Earth in order to make
it habitable for their human creations.
Amongst the finds are coordinates to the Alien Gods' home-world.
To Paradise.
Months later the Weyland Corp launch the spaceship PROMETHEUS and his
crew, into deep space to make first contact. Thanks to faster than
light travel a few years later the PROMETHEUS enters the Zeta Riticuli
star system. Humans are greeted by their makers, then transported
further into space to a scary yet fascinating world.
The Alien Gods are proud of their "children", their first creation to
reach such levels of intelligence.
As a reward they share bits of their astonishing bio-based
technologies with the humans.
But for one member of the Prometheus' crew it's not enough.
In a treacherous act he steals the "bio-source code" to Terraforming,
A technology at the origin of all Gods' powers, that could make humans
equal to their creators.
The Alien Gods may be scientists but are also ruthless conquerors,
destroyers of worlds who will not accept humans as equals.
They unleash on the escaping human crew their favorite bio-weapon, a
creature used to "clean up" worlds before colonization. But something
goes wrong in the process and humans manage to turn the bio-weapon
against their makers. Giving birth to a smarter, nastier, bigger breed
of gut eating creatures. Creatures that will be the demise of
Paradise.
What's left of the Prometheus crew manages to escape the doomed alien planet.
On their trail a survivor Alien God on a familiar ship with an
ultimate mission.
Bring the wrath of the Gods to Earth.


Now you have to agree, with Ridley Scott at the helm and the cast which I'm about to reveal, that sounds like it could be a damn good film. Here is the cast to the best of my knowledge:

Noomi Rapace

Michael Fassbender

Charlize Theron

Idris Elba

Sean Harris

Kate Dicki

 Rafe Spall

Logan Marshall-Green

Ben Foster

Guy Pearce

Now finally we get to the more interesting part. The images. This first group are a bunch of leaked photos taken on the set of PROMETHEUS, and are our first real clue that it may just be connected to the ALIEN films. Note the very Giger-esque appearance of some of the set pieces.

This second batch of leaked images come from Iceland. Production was moved from Pinewood Studios to Iceland in order to shoot some scenes at the Hekla volcano. Although this will only make up about 15 minutes of the movie's running time. Once again we get a glimpse of some very ALIEN-like set pieces.

After this slew of unofficial leaked photos, we finally got our first look at some official still shots which are shown below. But as per the poster and official synopsis, they really aren't very revealing at all.

Now to the most exciting part. Recently some PROMETHEUS footage was shown at the San Diego Comic-Con and it seems that somebody must have recorded it. A whole bunch of stills from the footage showed up on the net, and they are definitely the most revealing so far. Sure they're grainy and lo-res, but they're definitely intriguing. And they all but confirm suspicions that PROMETHEUS may be an ALIEN prequel or at the very least connected to it.

So there you have it. That's all of the info I have so far, but stay tuned for more as it comes through. This definitely has the makings of an amazing sci-fi film and I really can't wait until it's released. Oh, that reminds me. 
The release date is currently set for June 8th 2012.
