So what do you guys and gals make of Ridley Scott’s PROMETHEUS? Does it sound close enough to ALIEN to get you excited? What about the casting?
Well, Bleeding Cool has unearthed some more details about the sci-fi thriller, and if they prove true, I think we’re all gonna pumped to see what Scott has in store come 2012. Scope it…
According to sources close to the production of PROMETHEUS:
“Quite simply: it has the Alien aliens in it. The catch, though, is that you might not recognise them – at least, not at first.
Remember how the alien took on canine qualities after gestating in a dog? You may even suppose that the first film’s alien was so recognisably humanoid because it had grown in a human. The same applies here: generation by generation, the creature mutates. As Prometheus begins, the xenomorph is not too recognisable. Sure, it has that alien DNA that Scott and Fassbender teasingly referred to, but it’s missing… well, it’s missing human DNA. Or dog DNA.
All you have to do is imagine how it might look if it were to mix DNA with another alien species… and I think we’re starting to work it all out.”
Wow, so a cool Alien mutant hybrid, ay? Can definitely get down with that. Just so long as my girl Charlize doesn’t get morphed into one of those nasty looking beasties…that’d be criminal!
PROMETHEUS, also starring Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender, comes out June 8th, 2012.
Charlize Theron!
