Close up: Prometheus Rising

The big story Prometheus is now very nearly upon us. The 'most anticpated film of the year' (as the poster has it) hits UK cinemas tomorrow, and if you're already planning to see it you may wish to whet your appetite further with this video , in which director Ridley Scott and star Noomi Rapace discuss extra terrestrials, the danger in searching for answers to life's big questions, and how much Alien , Scott's 1979 sci-fi horror classic, has influenced his new film. If that's not enough for you, read our in-depth interview with Prometheus screenwriter Damon Lindelof , take a look at our gallery of the 10 best screen aliens , or cut straight to the chase and find out what Peter Bradshaw made of Prometheus in his review – which, in some quarters, was nearly as eagerly anticipated as the film itself.
