Even though Ridley Scott opened up a little recently when he confirmed he'll be directing a Blade Runner sequel, he continues his cat and mouse game concerning his upcoming "Prometheus". In an interview with Speakeasy the director spoke in vague, mythological terms about his new film, shot in 3D and due to hit theaters in June. Here's an excerpt;
The central metaphor of “Prometheus” is about a “higher being” (Scott’s words) who challenges the gods, and the gods don’t want to give him fire. “Fire is our first form of technology,” Scott says, and so by taking fire, the higher being is punished “in perpetuity in a horrible fashion.”
Uh, okay. He also stated that the last 8 minutes of the film contain "a pretty good DNA of (Alien)". Funny but I don't recall Alien having any gods in it. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.
