The new issue of The Hollywood Reporter has a special feature on director Ridley Scott and focuses on Prometheus. Along with talk about the development of the movie and the possibility of a sequel, there are also a number of new photos and concept art:
"THE 'PROMETHEUS' SHOOT COST MORE THAN $120 MILLION AND SPANNED THREE CONTINENTS
Four years in the making, with a budget of $120 million to $130 million covering 1,300 CGI shots and an 87-day shoot that took its crew from London to Iceland to Jordan’s Wadi Rum desert, the picture (named for the mythological Titan who stole fire from the gods) is one of the most anticipated in years.
BORN OUT OF OLD WOUNDS
Prometheus dawned when Scott told Fox Filmed Entertainment co-chairman Tom Rothman that he wished to revisit the territory that been under his skin since he was passed over for 1986's Aliens, the sequel that propelled James Cameron's career. "I was really pissed off, frankly," he says about the old wound.
A BLADE RUNNER SEQUEL IN THE WORKS ... AND PROMETHEUS 2
Scott also is developing Gertrude Bell, about the British writer, adventurer and spy who teamed with T.E. Lawrence in then-Arabia -- possibly starring Angelina Jolie -- all while considering Prometheus 2, which he hopes will come next, and developing a Blade Runner sequel, which the original’s co-screenwriter, Hampton Fancher, is penning."
Prometheus opens in theaters on June 8th and stars Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Logan Marshall-Green, Charlize Theron, Guy Pearce and Idris Elba. Catch up on our recent coverage with the following articles:
