Amongst the 20 is of course Prometheus, which Empire devotes a page to.
The article seems to focus a lot on the anticipation of what kind of rating Prometheus will have when it's released (PG13 or R), quoting Ridley Scott's comment about rating at Comic-Con last year.
However, the article does add a new quote from Sir Ridley, which I personally haven't seen before:
"It's hard to frighten people. I think it is easier to make people laugh. I know Ricky Gervais will tell me to go fuck myself, but actually it is harder to scare. People are numb to it now. You've got to get dramatically cleverer.The April copy of Empire should be available in stores throughout the UK now.
I've literally applied everything I know to try to make this a good ride, but mostly a guy hanging from the ceiling really fucking works..."
A scan of the article is available here.

Bring it Ridley...I can't f*cking wait to see what you're putting together in the editing room. Something's telling me you've/or your assistant has visited this site before and know what's being expected of you. Can't wait. Thank you

ReplyDeleteI have to say this made me laugh. But I do hope the monster in this movie will be more than just a transformed human.
@Dkstar There is not a chance in hell that Ridley Scott or anyone even remotely related to Prometheus would take advice from some random website about what should be in their movie.
ReplyDeleteNo sh*t Dave. Who said they were taking advice from the website? I guess I should have been clearer. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteGuy hanging from the ceiling - I guess that's referring to the adult Alien's reveal in ALIEN? When it drops down behind Brett? Although, having just seen the full March 17th trailer for Prometheus, I wonder if we might not be seeing something else up in the shadows on the ceiling...
