Prometheus is a science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott. The film contains everything that fans of fantastic films love so much: travel to unknown places in the universe, the mysteries of the universe and the battle for the future of humanity.
The film "Prometheus" tells about a group of researchers and scientists who have found the key to the mystery of the origin of mankind on earth. They will embark on a fascinating and dangerous journey through the mysterious palaces of the universe, where, at the limit of mental and physical capabilities, they will wage a merciless battle for the future of the human race.
The world premiere of the film will take place on May 30, 2012. And the very next day, May 31, the film "Prometheus" will be released in Russia, and it will be possible to watch it in the cinema only in 3D format.
The film was originally conceived as a prehistory to the famous film "Alien". And although it later turned into an independent story with its own mythology, it has common elements and motives with the Alien, and its plot develops several decades before the popular story of 1979 and provides answers to many previously interesting questions.
The film was shot in Toronto, London, Morocco, Iceland and Scotland. And one of the film's decorators was the iconic Alien artist - Hans Rudolf Giger.
Angelina Jolie, Natalie Portman, Noomi Rapace and Charlize Theron applied for the main female roles, but the choice was made by the director in favor of the latter two actresses. In addition to them, Michael Fassbender, Guy Pearce, Rafe Spall, Idris Elba and other famous actors also starred in the film.
Most of Prometheus's action takes place on a giant spaceship. Especially for this, a model of the pilot ship "Pilot" from the first film "Alien" was recreated on the set.
The first draft of the script for the movie "Prometheus" was written by John Speights. The second was written by the scriptwriter of the series “Lost” by Damon Lindelof, who rewrote it at the request of the director into an independent story, only slightly echoing the famous film “Alien”.
