VISUAL REVIEW  PROMETHEUS (2012) Visual Review by David Bruce i  Trailer
In the late 21st century, a star map is discovered within the archaeological imagery of several otherwise unconnected cultures. The crew of the vessel Prometheus is sent on a scientific expedition, sponsored by the Weyland Corporation, to follow the map to find the origins of humanity. Exploring the advanced civilization of an extraterrestrial race, they soon face a threat to humanity's existence.  Theme - The big questions: Who made us? What is out there?  Director: Ridley Scott (Alien, Blade Runner)  LOGAN MARSHALL-GREEN (Devil, Brooklyn's Finest) as Charlie Holloway, NOOMI RAPACE (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo 2009, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows) as Elizabeth Shaw  CHARLIZE THERON (Hancock, Monster, The Italian Job) as Meredith Vickersand IDRIS ELBA (Thor, RocknRolla) as Janek  MICHAEL FASSBENDER (Inglourious Basterds, 300) as David  Is there a connection between our ancient past, this world, and the universe? i Featurette: CreationsScott's story concept was partially inspired by the work of Chariots of the Gods? author Erich von Daniken's writings about the theory of ancient astronauts, suggesting that life on Earth was created by aliens. Scott said, "NASA and the Vatican agree that [it is] almost mathematically impossible that we can be where we are today without there being a little help along the way. . . That’s what we’re looking at [in the film], at some of Erich von Daniken’s ideas of how did we humans come about."  Noomi Rapace plays Elizabeth Shaw, an archaeologist, who Rapace describes as a believer "in God" with a "very strong faith", but that "things happen and she changes into more of a warrior." Logan Marshall-Green who plays Charlie Holloway contrasts Holloway to Shaw, saying "she’s the believer. I’m the scientist. I’m the skeptic. I’m the atheist". i Clip: Prometheus Has Landed  Michael Fassbender as David, an android designed to be indistinguishable from humans. The ship's butler and maintenance man, it begins to develop "its own ego, insecurities, jealousy and envy". Fassbender stated: "David's views on the human crew are somewhat child-like. He is jealous and arrogant because he realizes that his knowledge is all-encompassing and therefore he is superior to the humans. David wants to be acknowledged and praised for his brilliance". i Clip: The Next Generation David 8 In developing his David character, screenwriter Fassbender avoided watching the android characters of Alien and Aliens (1986) respectively, and instead observed those in Scott's 1982 science fiction film Blade Runner. He drew further inspiration from the "funny walk and economy of movement" of Olympic diver Greg Louganis, and the performances of; David Bowie in The Man Who Fell to Earth, Dirk Bogarde in The Servant, and Peter O'Toole in Lawrence of Arabia. David's blond hair was modeled after T. E. Lawrence.  Charlize Theron plays Meredith Vickers, a Weyland Corporation employee, sent to monitor the expediton. Theron described the character as "a suit who slowly sheds [her] skin through the film", and also as "somewhat of a villain . . . [who] definitely has an agenda". She stated "Vickers is pragmatic, and desperately wants to control the situation." i Featurette: Prometheus 30 Years In the Making  Keeping it real. Scott avoided using green screens unless necessary. Rapace claimed that green screens were used less than six times during filming.  Scott focused on using the 3D footage to increase the illusion of depth.  “What is a scientist after all? It is a curious man looking through a keyhole, the keyhole of nature, trying to know what's going on.” -- Jacques Cousteau Remove /--> |
