Big news for sci-fi fans: Ridley Scott has finally taken the wraps off his far-too-secretive-for-my-tastes science fiction opus, "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/433741/moviemain.jhtml"]Prometheus[/url]." And what an opus it is! For far too long we at MTV News, -- not to mention the entire world at large -- have been wondering, just what is "Prometheus" all about, [url="http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2011/03/07/prometheus-noomi-rapace-interview/"]"Alien" DNA aside[/url]?

Is it a direct "Alien" prequel? Will it tell us who the masters of the massive downed spacecraft the crew of the Nostromo find in the original “Alien” were? Well, it looks like the answers to both questions remain unanswered, but "Prometheus" could still very well blow our minds with the origins of mankind, and the fate of the universe.

Check out [url="http://www.facebook.com/Prometheus?sk=info"]the official synopsis[/url] below if you don’t believe me.

[indent]Ridley Scott, director of “Alien” and “Blade Runner,” returns to the genre he helped define. With PROMETHEUS, he creates a groundbreaking mythology, in which a team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a thrilling journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race.

[/indent]Wow, just wow. I guess [url="http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2011/09/22/prometheus-patrick-wilson/"]Patrick Wilson[/url] wasn’t lying when he told us “Prometheus” would blow our minds. Consider mine blown. But I am curious, what is there to learn about the origins of mankind we don’t already know? What key piece of information does the team find that flies in the face of everything we know about evolution? And most importantly, how does this lead them to the far corners of the universe?

Lastly of course, what alien race will the crew inevitably encounter to battle for the survival of humanity? June 2012 cannot come soon enough, and I am currently hard at work on a time machine that can take me there. If I am successful, you’ll be the first to hear my review.

Check out what Michael Fassbender has already told us about the plot of "Prometheus" in the video below:

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
