The first trailer for acclaimed filmmaker Brian De Palma's (Scarface, The Untouchables) new sexually-charged psychological thriller, Passion, has been released online. A remake of the 2010 French movie Love Crime, Passion will debut at the 69th Venice Film Festival (La Biennale di Venezia), where it will compete for the prestigious Golden Lion award.
The movie stars Rachel McAdams (Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows) as Christine, a ruthless business executive who enjoys using and abusing people for her own personal amusement, and Noomi Rapace (Prometheus) as Isabelle, an ambitious but naive administrative assistant who routinely suffers both professional and personal humiliations at the hands of Christine. Love, lust, sex, murder, money, manipulation...Passion has everything we've come to expect from the brilliant mind of De Palma.

Director Ridley Scott's return to science fiction culminated in this summer's Prometheus, which, while it suffered derision from Alien fans who didn't care for the movie's ending (or, possibly, it's loose association to the Alien franchise), still earned a respectable $302 million worldwide for Twentieth Century Fox. Scott admitted in February that a possible Prometheus 2 was a part of his future plans, remarking: "I’m also thinking about what the hell I might do for a Prometheus 2." It's a good thing he thought ahead, because a Prometheus sequel appears to be in Fox's plans as well.

The marketing campaign for director Ridley Scott's upcoming Prometheus has been relatively spoiler-free, which has served to continue speculation over how the movie might be a prequel to Scott's 1979 sci-fi classic Alien. Besides a recent trailer that maybe revealed too much, promotion on the movie has toiled mostly with photos, photos, and more photos. That's not to exclude the movie's fantastic viral video campaign that revealed a Guy Pearce's character, Peter Weyland, giving a TEDTalk in the year 2023 about cybernetic individuals, as well as an introductory video of Michael Fassbender's android character, David.
The latest international poster isn't quite as subtle as its predecessors, as it reveals a possibly huge spoiler about how the "space jokey" spaceship found in Alien became stuck on LV-426. For that reason, we'll place it after the latest viral video, which introduces Noomi Rapace's character of archaeologist Dr. Elizabeth Shaw, and her plea to Weyland Industries to help her with her latest discovery.

After months and months of super secrecy about the plot of director Ridley Scott's new sci-fi movie, Prometheus, 20th Century Fox has apparently decided that too much secrecy is not necessarily a good thing, especially now that the movie's potential audience has been limited by the R-rating given by the MPAA. The new trailer that was released two weeks ago clocked in at nearly three minutes and clearly explained the premise — scientists discover compelling evidence that the human race has not only been visited in the distant past, but that the aliens who came to Earth left an "invitation" for us to visit them in turn once our technology advanced to the point of interstellar travel — and gave us a glimpse of the horrors in store for the crew of the Prometheus.
Now, a new featurette has been released that offers even greater insight into the "Origins" of the movie and the crew's mission. It also further explains the motivations of several of the main characters, including the scientist who discovered the invitations, Elizabeth Shaw, played by Noomi Rapace — "I think she wants to meet our makers and find out things about our destiny, in a way." — and reveals that the planet or moon that the Prometheus visits is in the Zeti 2 Reticuli system, a star system long considered by UFOlogists to be the origin of the so-called "Grey" aliens.

Footage of Ridley Scott's upcoming Prometheus has been slowly trickling out. The latest can be found in a new featurette for the movie, which goes behind-the-scenes of the director's first foray into the sci-fi genre since 1982's Blade Runner.
Since it's set in the same world as Alien, one of the questions has been whether Prometheus is a true prequel to Scott's 1979 classic, Sadly, we don't get the answer to that question here. However, we do get to see some awesome new footage while Scott discusses his excitement about returning to the sci-fi genre... Which only serves to prompt the new question: "Why do we have to wait for June to see this movie?"

The new "Prometheus: Mission Connect" mini-game sponsored by Verizon provides so many detailed photos of the interior of the USCSS Prometheus from director Ridley Scott's upcoming sci-fi thriller, Prometheus, that it's like taking a virtual tour of the "Heavy exploration / prospecting vessel." You can walk the corridors of the ship, duck into the mess hall or one of the many labs, review the ship's specs, check out the environment suits, and even stop to see how Dr. Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) is doing in cryo-sleep.

There's been a bit of a lull in Prometheus news ever since the full-length trailer was released in conjunction with 20th Century Fox's star-studded panel presentation at WonderCon last month. Thankfully, the Russian movie site KinoGallery has just the "fix" sci-fi fans are craving: a Prometheus gallery containing more than a dozen new still images and set photos from the movie, revealing more of the cast members playing the crew of the spaceship Prometheus — Noomi Rapace as Elizabeth Shaw, Idris Elba as Janek, Michael Fassbender as David,Charlize Theron as Meredith Vickers, Sean Harris as Fifield, Rafe Spall as Milburn, Logan Marshall-Green as Charlie Holloway — as well as several candid shots of director Ridley Scott and other members of the cast and crew between takes.

Paramount released the Super Bowl spot for G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation three days prior to Sunday's big game, and has now released a new still from the upcoming sequel to 2009's G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. It's not exactly an action shot as it shows Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Roadblock and Bruce Willis as General Joe Colton plotting out a mission.
But like the Super Bowl ad and the first trailer, the still serves as a reminder that the sequel seems to be switching away from Channing Tatum's Duke and the cast of the first movie to a whole new group of Joes. Though missing from the photo, fan-favorite Snake Eyes (Ray Park) will still be around. Flint (D.J. Cotrona) and Lady Jaye (Adrianne Palicki) will be the main members of this Joe team instead of Rise of Cobra's Ripcord (Marlon Wayans) and Scarlett (Rachel Nichols).

After the release of first-look photos from director Ridley Scott's quasi-Alien prequel, Prometheus, 20th Century Fox wasn't too pleased that a leaked version of the trailer had made it online. "For some early, early, early, early half-baked, half-assed test to leak, it's so unfair," said Fox chairman and CEO Tom Rothman.
Luckily, the first poster for the movie is no bootleg, but, unfortunately, doesn't tell us any more about the movie than the recent photos. Featuring the cryptic tagline "the search for our beginning could lead to our end", the poster shows someone (probably Noomi Rapace) walking to a profile of the same statue revealed in the previous stills. Prometheus follows a group of scientists and explorers that head to a distant planet in search of aliens — sorry, the answers to mankind's origins.
