I'm growing more and more excited about Ridley Scott's 2012 prequel to his 1979 sci-fi horror classic Alien. It stars two of my favourite actors, Noomi Rapace who played the original 'Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' and Idris Elba from the BBC's excellent crime drama Luthor.
From the trailers it appears that Ridley has managed to successfully create an original new angle on the franchise while still retaining the feel and atmosphere of the original. If he succeeds then he will have thankfully disassociated it's previous disjointed sequels while at the same time reinforcing his original vision.
This is the perfect kind of film to utilise 3D technology as an additional storytelling tool to create a more immersive cinematic experience and I am sure Prometheus will be a breathtaking journey, sitting beautifully alongside his original classic.
