DISCLAIMER: This feature contains specific plot details and spoilers regarding Sir Ridley Scott‘s latest film, Prometheus. By now you’ve no doubt dedicated hours to scouring the darkest corners of the internet in hopes of finding answers and explanations to the film’s numerous questions and mysteries.

This feature isn’t an attempt to assuage geeks and enthusiasts who demand answers from their speculative science-fiction, but it will discuss the ending of the film so reader beware. But first, let’s start with tonight’s viewing: Ishirô Honda’s 1962 film, King Kong Vs. Godzilla, starring Tadao Takashima, Kenji Sahara and Yû Fujiki.

Mr. Tako (Ichirô Arishima), the chairman of a pharmaceutical company, learns the bizarre tomato-sized berries that grow on Farou Island are a miracle cure. The natives of the island worship a god called King Kong, a colossal ape whose size can be attributed to the berries.

Tako leads a scientific expedition to the island to retrieve the berries and capture the monster. Meanwhile, a crew of American pilots discover Godzilla has escaped from the glacier that sealed his fate back in 1955. From there, King Kong escapes his captors and goes toe-to-toe with Japan’s King of the Monsters in an epic battle royale that manages to throw a giant octopus creature in for good measure.

When it was announced that Paramount had pushed back the big screen adaptation of World War Z from its December 2012 release to June 21st, 2013, it didn’t make big waves. In fact, one could make the argument that it could be better off with the new release date. But then came word that the film was going back for a 6-7 weeks’ worth reshoots.

Part of the reason why there was such a call that significant was because there was a huge problem with the third act of the film. So in attempts to alleviate that problem, Prometheus co-writer Damon Lindelof has been brought in to rewrite World War Z. Much like with the Prometheus script, Lindelof will be brought in to bring a new edge to a script.

“Some of you may have figured out we’re not home yet. We’re only halfway there. Mother’s interrupted the course of our journey.

She’s programmed to do that should certain conditions arise. They have. Seems she has… intercepted a transmission of unknown origin. She got us up to check it out.” – Captain Dallas, Alien

In Ridley Scott‘s seminal 1979 film, Alien, the crew members of the Nostromo are awakened from hypersleep to investigate a mysterious beacon on LV-426, a natural satellite orbiting a ringed planet in the binary star system Zeta Reticuli [Yes, this will be on the quiz]. The year is 2122.

In Prometheus, Scott’s first science-fiction film since 1982’s Blade Runner, the year is 2089. Archaeologists Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) and Charlie Holloway (Logan Marshall-Green) have discovered a star map within the pictographs and ideograms of several otherwise unconnected civilizations.

They interpret the star map as evidence of mankind’s forerunners, an open invitation to meet our makers. Peter Weyland (Guy Pearce), the elderly founder of the Weyland Corporation, funds the construction of the scientific vessel Prometheus to follow the map to a distant world – one in the Zeta Reticula system.

Director Brad Bird has a thing for years, as it would appear. The two-time Oscar winning director of such animated hits as The Iron Giant, The Incredibles, and Ratatouille, made his move to live-action pictures with news that he would direct 1906, a movie about the devastating San Francisco earthquake that hit that year. But before he got around to that movie, he decided to step away and direct the recent action blockbuster Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol.

Bird is now adding yet another year-titled project to his to-do list. According to reports, the director will be teaming up with LOST co-creator and Star Trek and Prometheus writer Damon Lindelof for a super-secret science fiction movie set up at Disney that’s currently being called 1952.

A new teaser trailer for the upcoming Star Trek video game from Namco Bandai has been released online.

As we found out last June at E3, the game looks to channel BioWare’s Mass Effect series in terms of (most of) its gameplay, and the game will act as a bridge from J.J. Abrams’ 2009 blockbuster reboot of the beloved Trek universe and the sequel that’s currently set for a 2013 release.
