The Alien games have had somewhat of an iffy legacy. So we’re trying not to get too excited about Aliens: Colinial Marines. But then SEGA go and release trailers like this. The bleeping! The scuttling! The acid! The flamethrowers! We pretty much wet ourselves.
Before all the talk of Ridley Scott returning to the world of Blade Runner for a sequelprequelrebootremakewhoknows a far greater prospect was already being worked on in deepest, darkest Pinewood as Scott was formulating his return to the cinematic landscape of a film which made his name: his Alienverse movie Prometheus. Reports from Comic-Con of [...]
John Carpenter may well be the master of horror filmmaking, but that’s not to say that someone else can’t tackle his esteemed previous work. In fact, Dutch filmmaker Matthijs van Heijningen Jr’s 2011 version of The Thing could be argued as a brave career choice, considering the 1982 film’s cult following. Not to be confused [...]
Not the greatest quality I’m afraid but the first stills nonetheless from the brand new Ridley Scott movie, Prometheus. The images come from Entertainment Weekly via Firstshowing (via Bloody Disgusting and Dread Central). In the images, we get our first look at Michael Fassbender, Noomi Rapace, Charlize Theron and Idris Elba as well as the [...]
Ridley Scott’s return to the world of science fiction with Prometheus is something that is immensely anticipated next year, and that anticipation is even further heightened by the fact that we know so little about the project. If you’ve missed our coverage of the film so far, you can catch up on it all here, [...]
On the 5th August, Super 8 will finally hit our shores, riding on a wave of critical praise from the other side of the Atlantic. Its combination of eighties youthful nostalgia (Stand by Me, Goonies) and Spielgburg-esque science fiction (Close Encounters, E.T) looks set to titillate young and old alike. However, Super 8 also acts [...]
Ah, the Colonial Marines. Traditionally about as lucky and useful as a Red Shirt in Star Trek. Their gaming exploits have traditionally been just as unlucky, and while 2010′s Alien Vs. Predator was at least passably entertaining, fans are still awaiting that classic Xenomorph-blasting bloodbath. Which is why we’re more than a little excited for [...]
In the six months since the first solid details emerged from Ridley Scott’s rumoured Alien prequel we’ve had a number of updates, not least the gathering together of an excellent ensemble cast to bring Alienverse sci-fi epic Prometheus to the big screen. Slash Film have bought together some of the tidbits from around the internet [...]
Exciting times ahead! The Pinewood Studios website is reporting (with a nod to their Twitter account) that production has begun on Ridley Scott’s Prometheus which confirms our earlier report stating the movie was shooting in the UK and not in Canada. This will be the fifth film of Scott’s to use the facility. He made [...]
While it is unlikely we will know the full story behind Ridley Scott’s Prometheus until it is safely gestating in cinemas (he is, after all, master of the slow reveal), it appears that despite recent comments suggesting that the film would be a departure from the Alien franchise’s existing mythology – it is in fact set [...]
Rising star Michael Fassbender (who will soon be seen lending his considerable talents to the role of young Magneto in X-Men: First Class) is heading back into the world of fantasy cinema, having snagged a role in Ridley Scott’s Prometheus. He’ll join the already-cast Noomi Rapace in project which started life as an intended prequel [...]
It’s all go on the Alien Prequel Project tonight. Or rather – it isn’t. It seems the Alien prequel is no more, instead, rather appropriately, it has evolved into a new project, what Fox are billing as a ‘sci-fi epic’. It’s title? Prometheus. Details broke a few moments ago thanks to a press release from [...]
Clint Eastwood’s latest soon-to-be-acclaimed outing as a director seems to now be sticking with the title “J. Edgar”, after having flirted with “J. Edgar Hoover” and in addition to the previous casting news (which you can look back through here) we now have an update of the “one in, one out” variety. Having previously been [...]
As AvP Galaxy quite rightly say, if this is true, it is great news indeed. Artist H.R. Giger, who brought such a distinctive industrial-organic look to the creature design for the original Alien film may be back on board for the Ridley Scott-directed prequels. Ridley Scott seems to still be embroiled in debate with the [...]
News comes in from Coming Soon that action period adventure 47 Ronin will now be produced and released in 3D. Keanu Reeves (who must be hoping for a Matrix-style career revival here) stars in the 18th century Japanese tale of a band of samurai swordsmen who set out on an epic journey to avenge the [...]

As part of their extensive special features for the Blu-ray Alien Anthology box set, out on the 25th of October, Fox have seen fit to put out Sigourney Weaver’s screen test, which lies below – courtesy of Empire. It’s always interesting to see earlier iterations of characters but Weaver’s Ripley appears to have arrived fully [...]
Impressively housed on London’s South Bank the London Film Museum recently played host to a preview of the Blu-ray release of the four Alien films, and with the highly polished Alien Anthology Blu-ray set out on shelves on the 25th of October I wanted to give you an idea of what you’ll be enjoying when [...]
