“A King has his reign…” and that reign may include adult themes, adult activity, hard language, intense or persistent violence, sexually-oriented nudity, drug abuse or other elements.

According to an AMC pre-sale ticket stub for the 06/08/12 12:01 AM screening of Prometheus IMAX 3D, the film will be rated R. This information comes from IMDb user dvonnesoneek by way of Collider, who first reported on the rating.

To my surprise, the ticket comes from AMC Concord Mills 24 in Concord, North Carolina. The AMC Concord 24 is 10 miles away from where I’m located in Charlotte, NC – and I’ve visited this theater several times for IMAX and 3D screenings.

Twentieth Century Fox has released a very disturbing audio recording from Prometheus, Ridley Scott‘s triumphant return to the science-fiction genre. The scrambled audio transmission, which surfaced on the Swiss movie site BlogBusters, is the latest installment of Fox’s “˜Discovering Prometheus’ viral campaign.

Thanks to the forum members over at Prometheus-Movie.com, you can download and listen to the original transmission here.

The audio (which runs just over one minute in length) is scrambled and reversed, making it rather hard to decipher. Luckily, as The Dark Knight Rises viral campaign proved, there isn’t a marketing puzzle that can’t be solved by rabid fanatics, especially if the riddle promises secret goodies!

The first two trailers for Ridley Scott‘s Prometheus were absolutely brilliant and harks back to the Scott’s 1979 Alien. But recent trailers have featured very spoilerish footage from the upcoming movie, whatever brought this call to bring this trailer to light is more puzzling than the movie itself. So I am jumping on board with most of the fellow writers out there and will just avoid anything new from the Prometheus marketing push.

But for those who love any amount of free footage they get, no matter how much it spoils the movie, they will thoroughly enjoy the following extended featurette. The newest featurette is not like the latest trailer or featurette that was released, its much worse. The featurette encompasses everything about Prometheus from the director and its writers Jon Spaihts and Damon Lindelof to the cast and the very people that build these massive sets.

20th Century Fox has unleashed an extended international trailer for Ridley Scott‘s anticipated return to the science-fiction genre, Prometheus. The above image is a holographic glimpse of a Space Jockey. Where’s he going? What’s the rush?

He’s probably going to check out this amazing new trailer, which features tons of new footage and further elaborates on the film’s plot. A pair of archaeologists (Noomi Rapace and Logan Marshall-Green) have discovered the same pictogram among ancient civilizations with no shared contact, unveiling a star map with coordinates that could lead to mankind’s origins.
