I was looking up information about the new TV show Olympus (airing on SyFy) and came across this image.

You can find the image on the show's official site http://www.olympustv.com/OLYMPUSTV/HOME.html; I took mine from imdb.com.

At first I thought, hey, someone really liked the Prometheus poster. Then, just for kicks, I went and compared the two images side by side and noticed similarities in the smoke and the light behind the character. The smoke in the Olympus image is slightly blurry, but you can clearly see the shapes that also appear in the Prometheus poster. Whoever made this also left in a part of the shadowy figure, visible next to the shield, which you can see in full in the Prometheus poster. In short, the entire bottom half of the Olympus image is lifted from the Prometheus poster. Ballsy.

I was just watching The Furious Gods: Making Prometheus a couple of days ago, so the Prometheus poster was fresh in my mind.

See ya.

They completely copied the Prometheus poster. The head, mist, letters, figure in the middle, the grey color. That was not right. They should not have stolen from Prometheus. If the show can't even come up with their own poster I wonder what the show will be like Story wise. That is a scary thought.

Welcome to the forums Ofeelia, nice find!

I've seen a lot of imagery in other media, that has been inspired by Prometheus, but that is obviously an altered Prometheus poster!
