The UK arm of 20th Century Fox has released a new trailer for Ridley Scott’s Prometheus which reveals more footage than any of the trailers thus far. Charlize Theron’s character has a larger presence in this one, and it’s made clear she’s running the show. We also get to see some of the life forms the team encounter on their mission, and they aren’t friendly.

Watch the trailer below:

Visionary filmmaker Ridley Scott returns to the genre he helped define, creating an original science fiction epic set in the most dangerous corners of the universe. The film takes a team of scientists and explorers on a thrilling journey that will test their physical and mental limits and strand them on a distant world, where they will discover the answers to our most profound questions and to life’s ultimate mystery.

Prometheus stars Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Logan Marshall-Green, and Idris Elba, and 20th Century Fox will release the film on June 8th 2012.

Fox’s viral campaign for this summer’s Prometheus seems to be in full swing right now and this awesome promo is the latest to come from that. David is an 8th generation Wayland type robot, powered by Verizon apparently and you can see the clip right after the break.

Now this is what I call great viral marketing, a clip that’s made to look like any commercial you see today on TV, only this is for a robot, one that you can only find in the film Prometheus unfortunately. I mean who doesn’t want a real David around the house? I know I do, my garden needs work and he would be the perfect candidate for that unethical job. Also, after Shame, I’m sure there are loads of women out there (and even guys) that would buy a Michael Fassbender the second he becomes available, probably for stuff that’s more NC-17 if you know what I mean.

Joke aside, Prometheus is a prequel to the 1979 original Alien, directed by the same Ridley Scott and starring Michael Fassbender, Noomi Rapace, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba, Guy Pearce, and Patrick Wilson among others.

Prometheus opens June 1st in the UK and June 8th in North America.

So would you buy a David/Michael Fassbender if this promo was real?

We’ve already seen new IMAX and US trailers for Ridley Scott’s Prometheus over recent days, and now we have a new UK trailer to feast on. It’s less intense than the domestic trailer, but explains more of the story and contains new scenes. Great choice of music in this one.

A new full length trailer for Ridley Scott’s Prometheus is expected online any day now, but in the meantime we have an IMAX teaser trailer to keep us occupied. There’s lots of exciting new footage in this one, and it’s quite clear why Prometheus is one of our most anticipated sci-fi movies of 2012.

It should have been a match made in heaven. Neveldine/Taylor, the directors of Crank and Gamer, in charge of a comic book movie featuring a guy who rides around on a motorcycle dispensing justice while his skull is on fire. Sounds perfect, right? But even these kinetic directors, known for their outlandish, hands-on style, couldn’t overcompensate for a godawful script that features surprisingly little action. This is not the Ghost Rider movie people wanted to see.

The problems begin in the opening minutes, at which point a young boy is introduced who has the power to CHANGE EVERYTHING, YOU GUYS. I hate this plot device, and that’s what the entire movie rides on (pun most definitely intended). It saddles our anti-hero with the task of protecting this kid right from the beginning, with Idris Elba’s drunken monk dangles the X-Men 3 carrot in front of Nic Cage’s Johnny Blaze: promise to save this kid, and he’ll break Blaze’s pact with the devil, removing his powers forever.

Look, I won’t sit here and tell you the entire movie was worthless. Some of the visual stuff worked very well. Ghost Rider himself was pretty rad, with his leather jacket popping from the fire and his flaming skull looking a lot scarier and more intimidating than it did in Mark Steven Johnson’s 2007 film. There was a cool little animated introduction detailing the character’s past, and a split-screen editing choice made one phone conversation way more visually interesting than the normal back and forth cutting we expect. The few sequences in which Ghost Rider goes on a rampage and wrecks people were OK, and anytime he operated a vehicle that turned into a burning hellblazer, I was into it. But there are far too few of those scenes, and far too many of him saving the kid, and protecting the kid, and setting up the kid’s connection with Blaze. Ugh, just kill him already and be done with it. People aren’t there to watch an emotional story about freaking Ghost Rider because IT’S FREAKING GHOST RIDER. They’re there to watch Nic Cage go crazy and see some stuff get burned.

Which brings me to my next point: Nic Cage’s performance. The dude is obviously self-aware – just look at his recent appearance on “Saturday Night Live” if you don’t believe me – but I think his perception of what audiences want to see suffers from a disconnect with the truth. The Nic Cage “freakout” moments in Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance almost seem staged, as if the filmmakers looked at Cage before the take, winked at him to indicate “now’s the time,” and let him go off. But the best part about Cage’s freakout moments in other films is the “out of nowhere” insanity of the performance; oftentimes his mood doesn’t fit with what’s happening on screen, causing all of these water cooler conversations (or, almost assuredly in more cases, internet conversations) about how his career has evolved to such a crazy point after his Oscar nomination.

The villains, played by Ciaran Hinds and Johnny Whitworth, were boring and inadequate, never providing any real danger for our flammable anti-hero. Even Idris Elba, who did a lot with the small role he was given in Thor, fizzles out here, never quite able to perfect his French accent or translate why his character is so invested in the proceedings. One-liners intended to score laughs were met with silence, a warranted reaction to a pitiful script by Scott Gimple, Seth Hoffman, and David S. Goyer.

I’d say stay far away from this movie, but based on the almost universally negative buzz, chances are pretty good you weren’t planning to see it anyway. Until next time…

The latest issue of Entertainment Weekly contains our first good look at Ridley Scott’s Prometheus, which stars Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Noomi Rapace, Idris Elba, Patrick Wilson, Guy Pearce and Logan Marshall-Green.

In the image below we see The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo‘s Noomi Rapace as Dr. Elizabeth Shaw, a researcher and archaeologist. In an interview last month Rapace said Shaw was the “most complete person” she’s ever played, and she “turns into a fighter” halfway through the film after “a lot of things happen”.

Also in the image is Logan Marshall-Green (Devil) who plays a crewman onboard the space ship and the love interest of Elizabeth Shaw. A blonde Michael Fassbender plays an android named David.

Other images show us the characters of Charlize Theron and Idris Elba.

Ridley Scott, director of “Alien” and “Blade Runner,” returns to the genre he helped define. With PROMETHEUS, he creates a groundbreaking mythology, in which a team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a thrilling journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race.

With 20th Century Fox’s marketing campaign seemingly under-way we can probably expect the teaser trailer to hit sometime soon. Ridley Scott’s return to sci-fi hits June 8, 2012.

Guillermo del Toro said last week that his monster movie Pacific Rim was “the greatest experience of” his life and mentioned filming was scheduled to begin during the first week of November.

Now THR has word that the movie, which so far only has Charlie Hunnam, Charlie Day and Idris Elba on-board, has booked itself into Pinewood Toronto Studios with the working title Still Seas for a six month shoot until April 2012.

Plot details for Pacific Rim emerged back in March and the monster movie will give del Toro the opportunity to create two worlds.

The first is an alternate version of Earth in the near future, decades after a historic date in November 2012 when the first kaiju, a towering Godzilla-like beast, emerged from a hole in the Pacific Ocean and attacked the city of Osaka, Japan. The second is “The Anteverse,” another universe on the other side of that gaping portal, 5 miles below our ocean’s surface.

Since the first attack, the rim has been “spitting out” a variety of gigantic monsters at an increasing rate, which then stride out of the ocean and begin destroying sea-bordering cities, like Tokyo and Los Angeles. In order to combat these monstrous, otherworldly menaces, the military developed the “Jaeger” program, which trains teams of two pilots to jointly operate massive, building-sized mechanized suits of armor and high-tech weaponry

Pacific Rim currently has a release date set for July 12th, 2013.
