REEL DEAL: Prometheus 3D - Noomi Rapace SPOTLIGHT

NOOMI RAPACE IN A TUG BETWEEN SCIENCE AND BELIEFS IN “PROMETHEUS” (3D)

Noomi Rapace won rave reviews and came to worldwide attention for her performance as Lisbeth Salander in the original Swedish language Millennium films – “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo,” “The Girl Who Played With Fire” and “The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet’s Nest.” After working for a decade in her native Sweden she is now in huge demand for Hollywood movies including Ridley Scott’s return to sci-fi in the suspenseful futuristic mythology “Prometheus” in 3D.

REEL DEAL: Prometheus - Michael Fassbender SPOTLIGHT

Michael Fassbender: Engineered Android in “Prometheus 3D”

One of the fastest-rising stars in the business, the 34 year-old German-born, Irish-raised Fassbender has wowed multiplex and arthouse audiences alike over the past couple of years with searing, indelible turns in the likes of “Hunger,” “X-Men: First Class,” “Inglourious Basterds” and “Shame,” which saw him reunite with Steve McQueen. A passionate, instinctive actor, who better than Fassbender to breathe humanity into David’s cold hard exterior in the highly anticipated sci-fi adventure “Prometheus (3D)”?

From Ian Holm’s duplicitous Ash to Lance Henriksen’s dependable Bishop, androids have played a huge part in the Alien franchise. So it’s not a huge surprise to find that Prometheus also has an artificial humanoid on board its eponymous spaceship, in the blond-haired guise of Michael Fassbender’s David.

The character of David represents Prometheus' “company man.” An androgynous android with personality defects, David is the eyes and ears of the Weyland Corporation that funds the Prometheus mission.

Fassbender in the following q&a shares his take on humanity, working with Ridley Scott and Prometheus’ weighty themes.

Q:        Who is Dav-eed?

A:        He’s the robot. Or humanoid. Or android. Or whatever you want to call it. He’s like a butler. The first thing I wanted to do with him was to make him ambiguous. Should he be having emotions? I wanted to keep it ambiguous and have a lot of fun with it and enjoy it. I don’t know if that’s an easy description, but there’s so much comedy in him, actually, that I wanted to try to explore that as much as I could.

REEL DEAL: Prometheus 3D SPOTLIGHT

“PROMETHEUS 3D” – Creating Shaw and Meeting Her Maker

There has been a lot of speculation that “Prometheus” is a prequel to Scott’s highly acclaimed earlier film, Alien. The director wants to keep the story under wraps so that audiences view the film without preconceived ideas.

But he has admitted that there are links.  In “Prometheus,” the mission is funded by Peter Wayland (Guy Pearce), the ageing head of a huge corporation.  The action takes place 30 years before the story told in Alien.

 

Leading the Prometheus expedition is the character of Elizabeth Shaw, played by Noomi Rapace. From director Ridley Scott, who delivered the likes of “Thelma & Louise” and “Alien,” we can immediately expect a strong character to inhabit Shaw's spacesuit. And at the hands of Rapace, best known for her work in the tremendously-popular Swedish Millenium series, she comes alive as a new action heroine for the 21st Century.

CONVERTING AN EPIC FRANCHISE INTO 3D: “STAR WARS EPISODE 1 THE PHANTOM MENACE”

The epic adventure “Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace,” from visionary filmmaker George Lucas, captivated global audiences when it first came out in 1999.  The Force is back. But this time in 3D giving the film an immersive dimension and turning it into an altogether richer cinematic experience.        

It’s an experience that will inevitably be thrilling: watching “Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace” 3D on the big screen. The first Star Wars movie to be presented in spectacular 3D, all the exciting elements of the original remain, with  added dimension and nuance.

REEL DEAL: Star Wars Episode 1 3D REVIEW

Thought not yet born when the first Star Wars Trilogy was shown, I was able to catch up with its VHS copies back in the 90's. And after  11 years since it was shown in theaters (way back then), the force is back and in 3D in Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace.

If you are a true blue Star Wars fan and you want your kids to experience the epic galactic trilogy in 3D which makes the movie more interesting. 

In this movie, the saga starts in the planet Naboo ruled by Queen Amidala but tensions rise us with the Trade Federation. With Jedi Knights Obi Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn, getting involved in the planetary crisis, they go on a mission to help the Queen and all the inhabitants of Planet Naboo.

This also where the Jedis meet the young Anakin Skywalker and his great power within. We also see the dark society of the Sith, and one of those is Darth Maul.  And with the 3D effect on the movie (and vibrating seats) enhancing the experience makes the movie make a lasting impression for first time viewers (like me).

STAR WARS EPISODE 1 THE PHANTOM MENACE” IN 3D SCREENS ON FEB. 9

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…Twenty-two years ago, these words first flashed across movie theater screens around the world, and a modern legend was born.  Hundreds of millions of people would be introduced to a saga that would touch their lives in ways then unimaginable.  Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, and the Special Editions of all three films, became defining events for two generations.  The fast-paced action adventures, set in a new and exciting universe, featured grand design and boundless fun. The films inspired countless of viewers with themes that are universal and timeless: the conflict between good and evil and between technology and humanity, the celebration of heroism, and the limitless potential of the individual.

The Star Wars saga is a modern-day fairy tale reflecting the vision of George Lucas.  Lucas imbued this new myth with pieces of American pop culture, including movie westerns, swashbucklers and – for seasoning – Japanese samurai epics.  Star Wars was also a reaction against Watergate, Vietnam and other periods of domestic turmoil that seemed to undermine the concept of the hero for disillusioned Americans.
