‘Prometheus’ premiere: Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender, Noomi Rapace walk the blue carpet The stars came out to celebrate the world premiere Ridley Scott’s new sci-fi thriller (NEW YORK DAILY NEWS)



LONDON — The stars of “Prometheus” landed in London on a special blue carpet Thursday night for the world premiere of Sir Ridley Scott’s new sci-fi thriller.

Noomi Rapace, Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender and Guy Pearce joined the director to meet fans at Leicester Square.

“Prometheus” takes its title from the spaceship in the story. The vessel goes on a mission to explore signs of alien life and the origins of mankind.

The film marks Scott’s return to the sci-fi genre after classics such as “Alien” and “Blade Runner.”


Twentieth Century Fox revealed the film has been given an “R” rating due to scenes of “sci-fi violence including some intense images, and brief language.” The worry is that the big budget film would suffer as it has a potential appeal to younger audiences, who now can’t attend without being accompanied by an adult. When questioned about this, Scott outlined that artistic integrity was his central concern, not cutting corners.

“What you don’t want to do is to undermine the fundamental punch of the movie. If it means taking things out and therefore diminishing it then you shouldn’t do that,” he said.
