Naked Push-Ups, Time Warps and 7 Other Revelations About Ridley Scott’s Prometheus

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 .

Watch the Jurassic Park Blu-Ray Preview: Veloci-rapture

If ever a trilogy warranted a grand Blu-ray rerelease, it’s surely Jurassic Park , the franchise that deserves credit for any post-1993 mention of velociraptors, brachiosauruses, and Sam Neill. It’s the pinnacle of summer cinema, and even if the last two films didn’t measure up to the original, it remains a singular, special franchise whose majesty won’t soon be duplicated (unless Terra Nova is much better than I expect). Click through to watch the new preview, read about the special Blu-ray features — including a fresh interview with Steven Spielberg — and gawk again at all the prehistoric tyranny.

Nearly 3 Decades Later, Where Does Poltergeist Stand Among Hollywood Horror?

Twenty-nine years ago this weekend, a little thriller named Poltergeist opened in theaters. Co-written and produced (and unofficially co-directed) by Steven Spielberg — whose other 1982 effort, E.T. : The Extra-Terrestrial , would grab summer by the balls a week later and not let go for months — the film made an enduring catchphrase of “They’re heeeeere,” spawned rumors of a fatal curse, pushed the PG rating to its bloodiest, grossest extremes, and laid the groundwork for two sequels and and an imminent remake. But does it hold up?
