Might be hard viewing but the early reviews are all good.

 

One of those movies that is probably brilliantly acted, but will make you want to commit ritual disembowelment when it's over. Probably includes a murder/rape of the love interest, if not the death of the family pet.

 

Occasionally I watch one of those types of movies (Breaking the Waves, Magdalene Sisters, etc.) just knowing that it will be a beautiful artistic statement, but that I'll feel like complete shit emotionally for days. I don't know if it's worth it.

No, no, no and fucking noooooooooooo!!!!!

 

Al-Pacino-in-Scarface-007.jpg

Scarface the classic gangster story brought to the big screen in different forms by Howard Hawks in 1932 and Brian De Palma in 1983.

 

 

The new version, which is being bankrolled by studio Universal, is being touted as neither a remake nor a sequel. Instead it will borrow the common elements of the earlier films, both of which centred on a violent outsider intent on pursuing his own twisted take on the American dream who infiltrates a criminal operation with ruthless determination and swiftly becomes its kingpin.

 

Paul Muni took the central role of Italian newcomer Antonio "Tony" Comonte in the 1932 Scarface, a tale of warring Chicago gangs which teamed Hawks with the legendary producer Howard Hughes. Al Pacino played Cuban drug baron Tony Montana in De Palma's remake, which was critically panned on release but has gone on to be one of the 1980s' most iconic films. Pacino's line "say hello to my little friend" is one of the most famous quotes in film history and is also the highest-selling mobile phone ringtone of all time. The storyline for the film, which also starred Michelle Pfeiffer and Mary Elizabeth Mastrontonio, was spawned by Cuban leader Fidel Castro's decision in 1980 to allow some 125,000 Cubans – many of them prisoners and people with mental health issues – to leave the nation in what was known as the Mariel boatlift.

 

Universal is currently pursuing writers for its new version, which is at an early stage of development and has the 1983 Scarface's Martin Bregman on board as producer.

 

Just fucking leave things alone.

A very small part of the trailer for Prometheus has been leaked (18 secs worth), in vey poor quality - Prometheusfootage.mp4 video by ViceMan_photos - Photobucket

 

A user on the IMDB forums managed to get a sneak peek at what might be the first Prometheus trailer last night as part of a survey, and to prove the authenticity of his story he even posted a small clip online.

 

Unfortunately the clip is not of the best quality, and without sound, but there's no doubt this is the real thing.

 

In addition, he gives a description of what he recalls from the trailer he saw:

 

"The trailer starts with a clip of Ripley from Alien and the words 'What if the beginning' and then we see the mouth of the Xenomorph 'Wasnt the beginning' or something like that. Then there's a shot of a giant waterfall on some planet, I don't know what the planet was, and a ship travelling to it.

 

Then we see like two cloaked people talking to eachother near the waterfall or something, and there's a voiceover from who I'm guessing is Noomi Rapace. She says something like: 'A woman once told me a story of how man was created'. Then we see this giant human like creature thing (which im guessing is the Space Jockey thing from Alien but I'm not sure) Voiceover: 'First there was the sun' and we see this giant oval alien ship covering the sky. Voice over: 'And the sun said I'm alone and I have noone to shinedown on so it created man'. And another shot of the giant Space Jockey thing. Then there's shots of the crew on the space ship traveling to that planet.

 

You see a quick shot of Noomi Rapace and and the rest of the crew and a bunch of stuff is happening they're all in their space suits running around with theyre flame throwers and stuff and theres this epic shot of this giant space station thing that looks like droid control ship from Star Wars Episode 1 falling down through the sky and the words:

'FROM THE DIRECTOR OF ALIEN' come up and more shots of the crew in the ship running from explosions and stuff. Theres a shot of a green laser scanner thing running through a woman's belly some more stuff then theres a quick shot of something bursting out from the space jockey thing.

 

And the last shot of the trailer is a close up of Michael Fassbender in his space suit looking down at a kid face to face and he holds up a finger and he says 'Big things have small beginnings' then the title comes up 'PROMETHEUS 6.8.12' "

Well the marketing can't be that good if you've only just heard of it!

 

There is immense secrecy regarding this film - it's out in six months and all that has been officially released is ONE still -

A few set photos and 18 seconds of grainy mobile phone footage of a possible trailer doesn't strike me as being part of some sort of viral marketing campaign. There isn't even an official website yet.

 

Back to those photos from Entertainment Weekly - they are obviously photoshopped heavily and are far too light, the screengrabs from the footage that was shown at ComicCon were far darker in terms of colour grading and much more similar to the visual style of Alien, so I'm not too worried.
