Prometheus プロメテウス （４）

プロメテウス

Inside the structure, a snake-like creature kills Millburn, and sprays a corrosive fluid that melts Fifield's helmet. Fifield falls face-first into a puddle of dark liquid. When the crew return, they find Millburn's corpse. David separately discovers a control room containing a surviving Engineer in stasis, and a star map highlighting Earth. Meanwhile, Holloway sickens rapidly. He is rushed back to Prometheus, but Vickers refuses to let him aboard, and at his urging, burns him to death with a flamethrower.

Later, a medical scan reveals that Shaw, despite being sterile, is pregnant. Fearing the worst, she uses an automated surgery table to extract a squid-like creature from her abdomen. Shaw then discovers that Weyland has been in stasis aboard Prometheus. He explains that he wants to ask the Engineers to prevent his death from old age.As Weyland prepares to leave for the structure, Vickers addresses him as "Father".

PLOT

As a hovering spacecraft departs an Earth-like world, a humanoid alien drinks a dark bubbling liquid, then starts to disintegrate. The alien's remains cascade into a waterfall. His DNA triggers a biogenetic reaction.

In 2089, archaeologists Elizabeth Shaw and Charlie Holloway discover a star map in Scotland that matches others from several unconnected ancient cultures.

They interpret this as an invitation from humanity's forerunners, the "Engineers". Peter Weyland, the elderly CEO of Weyland Corporation, funds an expedition to follow the map to the distant moon LV-223 aboard the scientific vessel Prometheus.

SUMMERY（２）

According to Scott, although the film shares "strands of Alien's DNA, so to speak", and takes place in the same universe, Prometheus explores its own mythology and ideas.

Prometheus entered production in April 2010, with extensive design phases during which the technology and creatures that the film required were developed.

Principal photography began in March 2011, with an estimated US$120–130 million budget. The project was shot using 3D cameras throughout, almost entirely on practical sets, and on location in England, Iceland, Spain, and Scotland.

今週の映画ＤＥ英語は、エイリアンシリーズの前日譚ともされたプロメテウス。監督は、エイリアン（1979）のリドリー・スコット。出演は、ノオミ・ラパス、マイケル・ファスベンダー、ガイ・ピアーズ、シャーリーズ・セロンなど。

先日、ＤＶＤでこの作品を観たんだけど、なかなか面白かった。でも内容的にはわかりやすいものではなかったんじゃないかな。ちょっと難しい。シャーリーズ・セロンが主演かと思いきや、主演はノオミ・ラパス。ノオミ・ラパスって誰？って思って調べてみたら、2011年にデヴィッド・フィンチャーのハリウッド化で話題になった『ドラゴンタトゥーの女』の元祖でスウェーデン版、『ミレニアム ドラゴン・タトゥーの女』、『ミレニアム2 火と戯れる女』、『ミレニアム3 眠れる女と狂卓の騎士』のミレニアムシリーズでヒロインのリスベット役を演じた女優さんだった。
