Well this is rude…the trailer for Ridley Scott’s Prometheus
debuted LAST MONTH and no one told me about it! It is a prequel to the Alien films (as far as I’m concerned,
there have only been TWO Alien films, Alien
& Aliens, because I flat out
refuse to acknowledge the grim 3rd or the Winona Ryder starring 4th)
and it stars one of the best actresses ever, Charlize Theron! It also stars the
well-tailored Michael Fassbender, hunky Patrick Wilson, sexy Idris Elba, Guy Pearce, and….”sigh” Noomi Rapace, the original Girl
With the Dragon Tattoo that truly sucked in the Sherlock Holmes sequel (I mean really sucked. I was still
complaining about her lifeless, dead behind the eyes performance hours after
leaving the cinema). I guess they needed a pretty cast to balance out the ugly
of the Aliens.
Speaking of pretty, Zac Efron is certainly filling out nicely.
I watched the trailer for The Lucky One (based
on the novel by Nicholas Spark, author of The
Notebook and Dear John…and my
straight male readers have just left the building) while at my desk in the office and was stricken by an unexpected
and potentially embarrassing erection. A quick Internet search revealed he’s 24
now so I’m OK with it. I’m not sure if I’m OK with Efron portraying a “U.S. Marine Sergeant returning from his
third tour of duty in Iraq, with the
one thing he credits with keeping him alive-a photograph he found of a woman he
doesn’t know.”
Alrighty then…
Prometheus
The Lucky One
Bonus Spite: A trailer featuring Nicholas Cage's Hairpiece!

Where is Jake Gyllenhall?
It has not been confirmed if Prometheus is an Alien prequel. That is just speculation at this point.
If the tats and facial hair were used to make Zac Efron look older it failed. It just makes him look like a dumb shit that is trying to remember his lines.
Dear Know it All Anonymous,
You seem snooty. Anyway, It hasn't been officially confirmed by the studio but chatty Kathy's (like Sigourney Weaver)have pretty much spilled the beans that it is a prequel!
Prometheus is an Alien prequel = common knowledge at this point.
Let me guess, you didn't believe Obama was a US citizen until it was finally "confirmed" when he released his birth certificate.
I thought this article deserved some positive commentary. I cannot wait to see Prometheus. I'm glad they haven't given away the "does it have xenomorphs or not?" question. I hope it does, but I won't write this movie off if it doesn't. (Ridley Scott, please just don't include any Predators.)
I wasn't Know it All Anonymous, but IMDB seems to agree...
Was originally intended as a prequel to Ridley Scott's Alien, but Scott decided to turn it into an original film with Noomi Rapace (who was already set to star in the prequel) still in the cast as one of five main characters. Some time later however it was confirmed that while the movie will take place in the same universe as Alien, and greatly reference that movie, it will, for the bigger part, be an original movie and not a direct prequel.
Either way, I can't wait to see it! And Matt ... I loved Predator!
