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 .

Happy 10th Anniversary, Ghost World! Let’s Celebrate Its Decade of Misanthropy

If you lived in New York or Los Angeles on July 20, 2001, and were the type of person who loved to make underhanded remarks about friends, strangers and even family members behind their back — and even to their face — then the chances are good you were first in line to see Terry Zwigoff’s caustic comedy of misanthropy, Ghost World . Based on the comic by Daniel Clowes, the film took too-cool-for-school ethos to another level, offered Thora Birch and Scarlett Johansson their best-ever screen roles (true), and even turned Steve Buscemi into a romantic lead. Well, sorta. Let’s celebrate this little oddity by remembering some great one-liners — and a related-but-not music video by Aimee Mann — ahead.

Watch Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz in the Dream House Trailer: Dead Again

Daniel Craig is the sort of mensch who I’d like to believe can do wrong. Unfortunately, when you’re in everything , infallibility is not an option. The new trailer for Dream House , the sepia-postered film exhibits a few contrivances that I’d expect from — well, a by-the-book psychodrama with a September release date. But I admit, the trailer is entertaining, even if it’s a note-for-note reiteration of a movie that came out almost 10 years ago to this day.

Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, On Mars: First Trailer for John Carter Arrives

If you were disappointed with the meaningless first poster for John Carter (née of Mars ), the Andrew Stanton-directed adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs’s book series about a Civil War soldier who gets mysteriously transported to Mars, some great news: the trailer for JC has come online, and it’s gorgeous, haunting, awesome, and totally obtuse. Also, awesome! Take it away, Friday Night Lights star Taylor Kitsch and Peter Gabriel’s cover of Arcade Fire’s “My Body is a Cage” !
