Get ready for the most exciting, almost three minutes of your life! The new international trailer for Ridley Scott's alien movie “Prometheus” has just arrived and it is a pure adrenaline rush. The 2:54 minutes video has a substantial amount of new footage featuring the entire cast, including Charlize Theron and platinum-haired Michael Fassbender.

Most of the scenes are jaw-dropping, making us wonder what more could possibly be keeping for the actual movie. “Prometheus” is supposed to be some kind of a prequel to the 1979 “Alien” blockbuster horror/sci-fi movie starring back then Sigourney Weaver and is set to hit U.S. theatres on June 8.

Until then check out the brand new trailer below and share your thoughts. 

Michael Fassbender naked (again!) for Obsession magazine

by Dimitris Ioannou

Michael Fassbender seems to can't keep his pants on. After bearing it all for Steve McQueen's “Shame”, the talented actor takes off his clothes once more, but now for the French lifestyle magazine Obsession.

The famous photographer Jean-Baptiste Mondino guides Hollywood's favorite actor to what it seems like a strip-tease in reverse.

In the interview that accompanies the photoshoot, Fassbender explains that he enjoys being compared with Marlon Brando or Robert De Niro, as he admired them both when he was a teenager, but he is not sure if a label like that is totally true.

Russell Crowe as Noah in new Darren Aronofsky movie

The deals are done for the new Darren Aronofsky's project “Noah”, about an edgy Biblical re-telling of Noah's Ark. According to Deadline, in the New Regency/Paramount co-production will star Russell Crowe as Noah, although he wasn't Aronofsky's first choice. An official announcement should come sometime next week.

At first the director wanted Christian Bale for the role, but Bale was committed to doing the Terrence Malick-directed “Lawless” and “Knight Of Cups” so there was no time for a third movie. Michael Fassbender was also a name that was heard for the project, but apparently they didn't pan out.

“Noah” will follow Aronofsky's Oscar-nominated hit “Black Swan” and might be a good chance for Crowe to claim a second Academy Award after the one he got for the 2000 “Gladiator”. The movie joins a bevy of Biblical films including Steve Spielberg’s gritty “Moses” re-telling for Warner Bros.

“Since I was a kid, I have been moved and inspired by the story of Noah and his family’s journey. The imaginations of countless generations have sparked to this epic story of faith. It’s my hope that I can present a window into Noah’s passion and perseverance for the silver screen.” said Aronofsky.

The movie budget is estimated in about $130 million dollars.
