Prometheus

Ridley Scott delights us once more with his ability to make grand science-fiction movies accompanied by intelligent plots.  The upcoming Prometheus will explore the origins of mankind on Earth, with a touch of its own mythology and science; if you are expecting some connection with Alien or Blade Runner get yourself ready for a whole new adventure – although the existence of extra-terrestrial life forms can be a similarity. 

The cast shows competent actors and actresses like Guy Pearce, Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender, Noomi Rapace and others, and its budget is assumed to be something around $150 million dollars; Scott had initially requested a $250 million budget along with an R rating, but 20th Century Fox was reluctant to invest so much money in a film that was not PG-13, and the studio was pleased because Lindelof's screenplay was found to be more budget-conscious.

The plot follows the crew of the spaceship Prometheus in the year 2085, a team of scientists and explorers, as they explore an advanced alien civilization in search of the origins of humanity 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.

Truth is, little is known about Prometheus' plotline; we know that the film is set in space for the most part, and is also largely based on discoveries about the creation of mankind, life and the Earth, but in the process, they threaten the future existence of mankind and are faced with unimaginable horrors.

The movie is scheduled for release on June 8, 2012 (USA) and you can find more information about it on its official website.
