[POTENTIAL SPOILERS] Another Prometheus Footage Report

We were sent a link from a member on [url=http://www.cultbox.co.uk/features/previews/3430-prometheus-footage-reveal-report]CultBox[/url] on Tuesday to an article over there in which writer Alex Mullane from CultBox wrote up a detailed report of the exclusive Prometheus movie footage which was shown in London a week and a bit ago. Below is an excerpt from the report: [i]The first scene we’re shown depicts Noomi Rapace’s archaeologist Elizabeth Shaw excavating a cave on a remote Scottish island, and it’s immediately apparent that Scott hasn’t lost his touch, as the shot of Shaw’s eye appearing through the soil as she scrapes it away is masterfully framed. When the drawings are discovered – older than any previously found – and a single tear rolls down her cheek, the weight and significance is fully felt, and the sense of heavy wonder fully established. We’re also shown a scene on the Prometheus itself, as a hologram of Guy Pearce’s aged – and long deceased – Peter Weyland (a name that will mean plenty to Alien fans) introduces the project and some of the characters. Weyland’s god-complex and his introduction of Michael Fassbender’s David, the android he designed, helps lay down one of the main themes of the film – the nature of humanity itself (with that old sci-fi mainstay science vs. faith being the other main one). Next up we witness the crew of the Prometheus being roused from their time in stasis, and their reactions upon waking tell us more about the characters. While Rapace and co are busy being violently sick, Charlize Theron’s steely Weyland Corporation project overseer is no sooner up on her feet than she’s down on the ground shocking her body back to life with press-ups. The scenes aboard the ship help dispel fears about the production design, given the leap forward in CGI/technology since 1979, in that the ship’s interior keeps close to the designs of those in Alien, but is also suitably futuristic. The Nostromo was meant to be a piece of junk, while Prometheus is state of the art, so the fact that it’s much shinier and generally more impressive isn’t really an issue.[/i] - CultBox.co.uk Read the rest on [url=http://www.cultbox.co.uk/features/previews/3430-prometheus-footage-reveal-report]CultBox.co.uk[/url]!
