The film earned generally positive reviews, receiving praise for the designs, production values and cast performances, and criticism for an uneven script and unresolved plot points. Prometheus was released on June 1, 2012, in the United Kingdom and on June 8, 2012, in North America. Three videos featuring the film's leading actors in character, which expanded on elements of the fictional universe, were released and met with a generally positive reception and awards. It was promoted with a marketing campaign that included viral activities on the web. The project was shot using 3D cameras throughout, almost entirely on practical sets, and on location in England, Iceland, Spain, and Scotland. Principal photography began in March 2011, with an estimated $120–130 million budget.
Prometheus entered production in April 2010, with extensive design phases during which the technology and creatures that the film required were developed. According to Scott, although the film shares "strands of Alien 's DNA, so to speak," and takes place in the same universe, Prometheus explores its own mythology and ideas. In late 2010, Lindelof joined the project to rewrite Spaihts's script, and he and Scott developed a story that precedes the story of Alien but is not directly connected to the original series. Spaihts wrote a script for a prequel to the events of the Alien films, but Scott opted for a different direction to avoid repeating cues from those films. Predator took precedence, and the project remained dormant until 2009 when Scott again showed interest. Scott and director James Cameron developed ideas for a film that would serve as a prequel to Scott's 1979 science-fiction horror film Alien. Seeking the origins of humanity, the crew arrives on a distant world and discovers a threat that could cause the extinction of the human species.ĭevelopment of the film began in the early 2000s as a fifth installment in the Alien franchise. It is set in the late 21st century and centers on the crew of the spaceship Prometheus as it follows a star map discovered among the artifacts of several ancient Earth cultures. Prometheus ( / p r ə ˈ m iː θ i ə s/ prə- MEE-thee-əs) is a 2012 science fiction horror film directed by Ridley Scott, written by Jon Spaihts and Damon Lindelof and starring Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Guy Pearce, Idris Elba, Logan Marshall-Green, and Charlize Theron.
