A bit unrelated, but the reason I love the movie Sphere is the whole mystery of it, why is there a 300 year old spacecraft in the bottom of the ocean? the build up is awesome...later the movie does start to fall apart, but I think it is very underrated despite this I guess the reason I mention this is, because Prometheus is set to be another mystery sci-fi, where there are a lot of questions at the start, which may or may not get answered fully...this is definitely my favourite type of sci-fi, one that has stimulating concepts It's sort of ironic that the great mystery in Alien was the space jockey, which is now going to be explained in Prometheus, but without revealing too much to ruin the mystery lol

I forget the exact details but Warner Bros., who had rights to 'Sphere' was having trouble finding a director who wanted anything to do with it, and so they worked out a deal with Barry Levinson. Levinson would direct 'Sphere', but only if he could direct 'Wag the Dog' first, which was the project he wanted. So, we have a film based on a decent but hardly spectacular screenplay made by a director who didn't want to be there. Net result = mediocre.
