There’s a reason you don’t know much about Prometheus , the Ridley Scott sci-fi project that was originally conceived as a prequel to Alien : the director doesn’t want you assuming anything about the movie before sitting down in theaters next June. Even so, Fox began promoting the 2012 blockbuster at yesterday’s Comic-Con with a press conference and panel featuring Scott, screenwriter Damon Lindelof and stars Charlize Theron and Noomi Rapace. (Both Scott and Rapace appeared via satellite) So, just how do you promote a movie without giving away even the most minor plot details? Very, very carefully. Even so, Movieline managed to gather nine new bits of information about Prometheus , the most secretive project since Super 8 .

Yesterday in San Diego, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn director Bill Condon mysteriously hinted that Stephenie Meyer could have more Twilight spin-offs left in her.

This just in from the reportedly outgoing Oscar-winner Steven Soderbergh, answering questions at Relativity Media’s panel at Comic-Con : “Matt Damon is apparently as discreet as a 14-year-old girl. I had this drunk conversation with him while shooting Contagion and four days later, I read about it in the paper. And he read it verbatim. Nobody in this economy wants to hear about someone quitting a good job. That kind of got blown out of proportion. And that’s Matt’s fault.” Aha! Cue “Blamin’ Damon” headlines in 3… 2… (And check out all of Movieline’s Comic-Con 2011 coverage here .)

In David R. Ellis’s Shark Night 3D , American Idol star-turned-actress Katharine McPhee plays Beth, a “tough chick party girl” who, with a group of fellow co-eds, heads to a summer beach house one weekend only to find the waters infested with hungry, deadly sharks. It’s scary stuff, she and Ellis, say, but don’t go in expecting the usual boobs ‘n’ blood exploitation-fest.

As soon as Robert Rodriguez took the stage at Comic-Con’s Hall H this afternoon, he teased a “bunch of big announcements,” the biggest of which being a sequel to his 2005 crime thriller Sin City . The director said that Frank Miller has already written the script for the sequel, which will be shot in 3-D and “could be shot as early as this year.” The second biggest announcement was that Rodriguez is planning a big screen project based on Heavy Metal magazine.
