Michael Fassbender - Venice 2011

I admit. I wasn’t so impressed with this year’s Venice Film Festival. Don’t know why, but every single time I actually tried to pay some attention on the movies that were in contention, I immediately cheated them all with Yorgos LanthimosAlps. Or even worse, with Roman Polanski‘s Carnage.

C’mon, just check out the LineUp for this year’s Venice Festival

I swear, if this report was a man, I would be one of those crazy bitches who deserve to be left. But, let’s cut the crap, because the whole thing is finally over, and we have the lucky winner. Let us all see what the hell happened in Venice.

Believe it, or not, but Aleksander Sokurov‘s Faust won the Golden Lion for Best Film at the beating high-profile contenders such as above mentioned Carnage and Steve McQueen’s Shame.

First Steve McQueen’s SHAME Clip And Photos

Michael Fassbender in Shame

From director Steve McQueen, Shame is a compelling and timely examination of the nature of need, how we live our lives and the experiences that shape us. You see, that’s the usual mistake we have with the official descriptions.

I mean, do I really want to see an examination of the nature of need? No, I don’t! Boriiiiiiing! But I’ll give them a try. First of all, cast is no bad, second – I’m interested to see McQueen portrait of sexual addiction. Just give me the “s” word, and I’m all ears!

Ridley Scott

I’m sure you’ll be glad to hear something fresh about the upcoming Ridley Scott‘s Prometheus, project that we already wrote so much about (but, not enough, I guess).

Few days ago we wrote about the possible synopsis part, but it looks that guys from Fox Studio weren’t satisfied with that description so they’ve decided to give as an official synopsis part!

And it goes like this…

Visionary filmmaker Ridley Scott returns to the genre he helped define, creating an original science fiction epic set in the most dangerous corners of the universe.

Damon Lindelof

So, what do we know about the upcoming Ridley Scott‘s Prometheus? We know that it’s going to be a sci-fi action spectacle. That’s for sure.

We also know that the movie was originally developed as an Alien prequel. And, that some great cast is on board, because Logan Marshall-Green, Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Rafe Spall, Idris Elba, Sean Harris and Kate Dickie are all set to star in it.

But we hate the fact that the plot details are still a mystery and that, beside above mentioned things, we know absolutely nothing about this project!

So, thank God somebody finally revealed some interesting details about the whole thing! And that person is Damon Lindelof, man responsible for the Prometheus story, who appeared on the Kevin Pollak’s Chat Show and spoke at length about the genesis of Prometheus and its connection to the Alien universe.
