What is it with Prometheus and giant heads? The first images featured a creepy big head and now it’s in the poster too, suggesting it’s got some sort of major part to play. As the plot revolves around the search for humanity’s beginnings, finding a hugh human head on an alien spaceship would be a good hint people weren’t 100% from Earth. With the film a semi-prequel to alien, that leads to a terrifying battle to save the human race.

Although a film about the Alexander Litvinenko case is unlikely to help Russian-British relations, which has been frosty ever since the incident, it’s a tale that’s so incredible it’s almost tailor-made for the movies. Now 
X-Men: First Class might not have made quite as much money as some of the earlier X-Men movies, but it did well enough that Fox is now putting a sequel together, and they’ve hired Simon Kinberg, who wrote the First Class, to pen the script, according to 
Steve McQueen’s Shame is causing a bit of a fuss in the US at the moment, as it’s just been given the rarely used adult rating NC-17 (meaning nobody under 17 can watch the film). Normally if that happens – which is nearly always due to sexual content – the distributor decides to release it without a rating, but apparently Fox Searchlight is embracing the rating in the hope it can change attitudes to it (currently it’s treated as if the film must be pornographic, many cinemas won’t even think about screening it and some newspapers won’t ever take ads for NC-17 rated movies).
