Pros and Cons

Sean Young Spills on Whether We’ll Be Seeing Rachael in the Blade Runner Sequel

by Rebecca Pahle | 11:05 am, January 24th, 2013

Like it or not, a sequel to Blade Runner is in the works. It’s still in the very early stages—to my knowledge all we know about it at this point is that Ridley Scott plans to do it. But the very prospect of a Blade Runner sequel has a lot of people curious, including Crave Online, which during an interview with Sean Young took the opportunity to ask the actress whether her original Blade Runner character Rachael might show up in the sequel.

Her answer?

Popular Science Picks the 2012 Movie With the Sloppiest Science

by Rebecca Pahle | 2:00 pm, January 2nd, 2013

Science in sci-fi movies is rarely all that accurate. We get that. It’s OK. Space battles wouldn’t be nearly so visually interesting if there weren’t any impossible explosions taking place in a vacuum. But some movies take their disregard for the basic principles of science to the next level. And according to Popular Science, the worst perpetrator from 2012 is…

Damon Lindelof Won’t Be Back to Spread Confusion in the Prometheus Sequel

by Rebecca Pahle | 12:32 pm, December 20th, 2012

Ridley Scott‘s going to have to find himself a new writer to (hopefully) explain all those crazy plotholes in the Prometheus sequel, because Damon Lindelof has officially taken himself out of the running.

Lindelof, who rewrote Jon Spaiht‘s original Prometheus script (which had facehuggers galore and a chestburster sex scene), told Scott that he’d be unable to commit to writing the Prometheus sequel because he has so many other projects in the works.

Awwww, Man. That Prometheus/Blade Runner Connection Was Just a False Alarm

by Rebecca Pahle | 2:00 pm, October 10th, 2012

You hear that? That’s the sound of my Prometheus-related hopes and dreams falling to the floor and breaking into dozens of pieces. In an interview with Movies.com, Prometheus Blu-ray producer Charles de Lauzirika explained that the Blu-ray special feature linking Prometheus to Blade Runner is nothing more than a funny Easter egg, a nod to the fans who have long speculated as to a possible connection between Alien and Blade Runner universes.

Why Prometheus Got More Interesting After It Left Theaters…

by Rebecca Pahle | 1:56 pm, October 8th, 2012

Prometheus comes out on DVD and Blu-ray tomorrow, which means we’ve been seeing a lot of interesting tidbits about the either genius or confusing and muddled (depending on who you ask) film. And while we already knew there will be a good 35 minutes of deleted and alternate scenes on the Blu-ray set, we now also know that they’re forever going to be confined to the “special features” submenu, as director Ridley Scott is refusing to do a Director’s Cut.

Rutger Hauer Joins The Cast Of HBO’s True Blood

by Jill Pantozzi | 11:00 am, October 5th, 2012

Everyone writing about this story is going to be referencing Blade Runner. Not me. It makes me giggle inside that Rutger Hauer, Lothos from Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the movie) is joining True Blood for Season 6. And we’ve got a pretty good idea who he’s going to play.

Ridley Scott Has Decided to Make the Most Boring-Sounding Disaster Movie Ever

by Alanna Bennett | 2:48 pm, July 27th, 2012

The Day Britain Stopped, the 2003 BBC pseudo-documentary, a fictional disaster telefilm in which “a train strike is the first in a chain of events that led to a meltdown of the country’s transport system,” doesn’t seem like the most thrilling of source materials. But then again, we are clearly not located inside the brain of Ridley Scott, who, along with fellow filmmaker Steve Zaillian, have signed on to produce a projects inspired by it.

Which Scene in Prometheus Tipped the Movie Into an R-Rating?

by Susana Polo | 11:08 am, June 13th, 2012

There’s a good part of me that wishes that somehow I could watch Prometheus and have it all be like this picture or even this picture and still get the experience of watching Prometheus. Instead, I’m going to wait for the home video release, probably have a drink beforehand, and keep my finger on the pause button. Because I actually do want to watch Prometheus, as it was cut.

There’s an interesting story out from the LA Times, however, that’s about one pretty significant cut that Ridley Scott was asked to make from Prometheus, apparently the only thing in the movie that stood between it and a PG-13 rating instead of the box-office killing R. If you’ve already seen the movie, you’ve probably already guessed which one it is, and if you haven’t… well, HUGE SPOILERS below.
