'Prometheus': Some Interesting News, Michael Fassbender Speaks Out

I often ask myself why all the secrecy around this latest Ridley Scott film? Is it the constant suspicion that Prometheus may somehow be a prequel to the Alien series or that its seems to be a big-budgeted production helmed by Ridley Scott and one of its writers is Damon Lindelof, the guy behind TV show Lost and the stories of both up-coming Cowboys & Aliens and the Star Trek sequel.

According to /Film, Neville Page is a designer working on Prometheus concept art. Recent credits include designs for Avatar, Star Trek, Cloverfield, costume designs on Tron: Legacy, Green Lantern and The Amazing Spider-Man. They go on to say that: 

"As other folks have pointed out, Page’s Cloverfield monster bears a resemblance to the Space Jockey from Alien, which an earlier rumor suggested would be appearing in Prometheus. What Page’s involvement actually means for Prometheus, I have no idea — but the fact that Page knows how to visualize Alien-esque creatures seems like a promising sign, at least."

Even recently, Michale Fassbender spoke about the film without revealing too much said "The thing is, it’s not a prequel. It definitely is separate. It is a separate story, but there are threads that connect the stories."

Glad that's cleared up and now onto more important matters, like what is Prometheus about?

"Well Prometheus is basically a Greek god that stole fire from the gods so that he could give humans equal footing with them. And then he got sort of tied up to a tree or rock and then an eagle comes down and eats his liver each day and it regrows and he eats it, regrows so figure it out. How can you tie that into space?"

Fassbender is reportedly playing an android in the film of which is being filmed on the Pinewoods lot, where the set is being shrouded in secrecy. According to this recently picture:

"According to an unnamed source, the crates surrounding the green screen were purposely brought in in order to hide “a bunch of vehicles” from curious passersby. This is apparently unusual for Pinewood Studios, which generally doesn’t bother concealing its backlots from the public. Feel free to speculate on what’s lurking behind those crates in the comments. Actual aliens, maybe?"

Prometheus is schedule to open June 8, 2012. Directed by Ridley Scott, written by Damon Lindelof and Jon Spaihts. The film stars Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Noomi Rapace, Guy Pearce and Idris Elba.
