New pics have popped up online from some of this year’s most anticipated movies, with Noomi Rapace giving us a glimpse at the Space Jockey (above) in Prometheus, as well as Bilbo looking a little weary in The Hobbit and Josh Brolin striding manfully in The Gangster Squad.
The Prometheus pic comes via the LA Times, who also spoke to screenwriter Damon Lindelof, who had a couple of interesting titbits to add. He says, “The movie is definitely epic in its scope. One of the filmmakers that we ended up talking about to a fair degree of redundancy was David Lean, who directed Lawrence of Arabia. We wanted to make the movie feel big by having the characters be small in big spaces. That connected to the larger themes we were talking about – that we’re all just these little gnats crawling around on our little planet.”
The writer also talked about the secretive nature of Prometheus, relating it to his TV series Lost. “Coming out of Lost, I was like, ‘What a relief it’ll be to leave mystery and secretiveness behind.’ “Then I found myself in the same situation, and I thought, ‘Here we go again.'” The Ridley Scott film arrives in cinemas June 1st.
Poor old Bilbo look like he’s been in the wars in this new pic from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. The hugely anticipated film will be on screens December 14th.
We had one pic from The Gangster Squad a couple of months ago, and now another has arrived, featuring Josh Brolin looking very period as he strolls along in front of the iconic Beverly Hills Police Headquarters. The real-life story centres on a high-profile unit of the LAPD in the 1940s, whose mission is to rid the streets of East Coast organised crime. The main action will be between Ryan Gosling’s cop and Sean Penn’s gangster kingpin, with Josh Brolin, Michael Pena, Anthony Mackie, Giovanni Ribisi, Holt McCallany and Emma Stone also starring. It’ll be out November 9th.
