Prometheus Exclusive in New Empire Magazine
The new issue of EMPIRE Magazine hit newstands in the UK today and what a breathtaking piece it is for Prometheus fans and potential fans alike! The issue contains an 18-page feature on Prometheus with exclusive photos as well as an exclusive in-depth interview with director Ridley Scott. The article in the feature reveals many story and character elements that have long been speculated among fans but now have been pretty much confirmed. We’ll highlight a few things learned from this article and the said interview with Ridley Scott (potential spoilers ahead):
1 – Old man Peter Weyland will very likely be a part of the Prometheus crew, and he sees himself as the Greek titan.
2 - Next Prometheus viral will take the form of another advertisement but this time of David, the android.
3 - Milburn, played by Rafe Spall, is a botanist.
4 - Fifield, played by Sean Harris, is a geologist.
5 - The Engineer, or the Space Jockey to most, is a 9-feet tall gray/blue skinned humanoid creature.
6 - The “xenomorph” will likely make an appearance in the final minutes of the movie.
7 - Ridley Scott is doing whatever it takes to release the most “aggressive” film he can.
8 - Ridley doesn’t like us fans over-analyzing the film.

“I was prepared to be fighting against nothing… But we had real things on set.” – Glad to hear this!
Ridley has said CGI creatures aren’t scary, and this makes me even more confident we won’t be looking at video game monsters.
hola et merci
Wow! This is awesome, and at the same time to much info, but I´m glad… Thank you
!
i might be mistaken, but is there a page missing? there is an image placeholder but no image (i.imgur.com/woVU6.jpg)
Yeah, same problem for me.
OH WAIT! The next correlative image has the same name (woVU6.jpg).
So I think doesn’t matter now
The fact that one can finally see one of the many missing chapters of such an amazing storyline is awesome! I’m looking forward to this chapter of the Saga that is Alien. I just wish there were many more to see…

Great interviews. I feel more confident now that the film will be awesome.
As to the R vs PG-13, if 20th Century Fox releases a Bluray/Digital with a Ridley Scott “R” version and the Theatrical version, then it’s OK with me if they have the PG-13 in theatres. HOWEVER, if FOX REFUSES a distribution like that and only the PG-13 crap is released in any form, then they can go F*** themselves.
Scott has a clause in all of his contracts now that guarantees he gets to release a director’s cut if he wants too (Kingdom of Heaven and Robin Hood) and he has already made both cuts, so the chance of seeing the R-rated cut on DVD/BR is close to 100%.
That’s great. Thank you for explaining.
Bring on the Engineers!!!!!!!!!!!! (I just needed to say that)
I hope this is such a blockbuster hit that it has a sequal to it. Its good to see Sir Ridley Scott return back to his roots.And lets see him do the same for the new BladeRunner sequels or prequel.
Thanks for the scans, awesome job.
I’ve combined all pics into a single pdf file for convenience
