Ridley Scott has been talking about Prometheus and Alien, and I’ll get right to it.
"[I've wanted to revisit it for] years! Years, years, years, I always wondered when they did [Aliens] 2,3 and 4 why they hadn't touched upon that, instead of evolving into some other fantastic story. They missed the biggest question of them all: who's the big guy? And where were they going? And with what? Why that cargo? There's all kinds of questions."
And as for the rating, the Gladiator director has confirmed whether or which, but he’s saying its “kinda R”
“The question is, do you go for the PG-13, [which] financially makes quite a difference, or do you go for what it should be, which is R? Essentially, it's kinda R."
"It's not just about the blood, it's about ideas that are very stressful. I'm not an idiot, but I'll do everything I can to get the most aggressive film I can."
And you thought you couldn’t get any more excited about Prometheus?
