A new feaurette made it online for Ridley Scott’s Prometheus. There is some impressive B-roll footage of Scott doing what he does best, scouting locations and directing some awesome looking scenes. It’s all about Ridley Scott in this video.

The cast breaks down why he is the cream of the crop when it comes to directing sci-fi films. Charlize Theron praises the Oscar winning director by calling him her “fantasy director”.

It took Scott 39 years to create this groundbreaking mythology that explores the origins of mankind on earth, taking a team of scientists to the darkest corners of the universe, where they must fight a terrifying battle to save mankind.

The film is brought to life with stars including Michael Fassbender, Idris Elba, Noomi Rapace, Charlize Theron, Guy Pearce and Logan Marshall-Green.

There have been questions whether Prometheus is the prequel to Aliens, but American movie-goers are going to have to wait until the June 8th release date.  Although information has slowly been trickling out, what’s been released seems to raise more questions than definitive answers.

What is evident, though, is that this movie is going to be an experience. Agree??

The ABS Newsletter — Stories that matter, in your inbox.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
