Explaining the Prometheus races – a handy chart

June 24, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Putting two species together to create a third is nothing new for gamers. Half-orcs and half-elves are common in fantasy roleplaying games (in a way that half-dwarves are not). What about Prometheus then? That Aliens prequel that left many viewers confused. Are gamers better placed to understand the species mythology? Not sure? Here’s a handy […]

What do the aliens in Prometheus look like? [pictures]

The latest trailer for Prometheus gives us the best glimpses of the aliens yet. It’s fair to say you’ll see a lot of overlap with classic Alien horror and design.

Alien: The Easter Edition

April 8, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

There’s the strong feeling that this John Seaward (The Inbetweeners) video was inspired by the forthcoming Prometheus movie. That said, the YouTube credits not that any similarity of characters and events in this video to Ridley Scott’s Alien are entirely coincidental and unintended. Sure they are, sure they are.

This is the sound at the end of the Prometheus trailer

March 18, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood 3 Comments

The web is abuzz for the trailer of Ridley Scott’s Prometheus. The film started life as a prequel to Alien. That notion was then dismissed and denied by 20th Century Fox. Then it became a film in the same universe as Alien – sharing “strands of Alien’s DNA”. Certainly, when you watch the Prometheus trailer […]
