From Alien DNA, Prometheus Unveiled…

I think it’s an admirable quality to be able to roll with the changes – especially in this instance! As far as anyone knew, Sir Ridley Scott was currently hard at work on a prequel to Alien, the ground-breaking and hugely-iconic fusion of Science Fiction and Horror that made his name.

Star Wars movies to be released in 3D! (Following three extended toy adverts…)

Reboarding The Tardis…
