Berberian Sound Studio For anyone who doesn’t know, the Edinburgh International Film Festival is underway in our nation’s Capital. As is the norm during this event, my friend has spent many hours taking in everything he can from Friedkin to Strikland and has managed to find an employer who will publish his writings. This is his latest piece about ‘Berberian Sound Studio’ and is definitely worth having a read if you enjoy film, especially when the piece is written by a friend, Ross Maclean, who really, really loves film! Give my pal a bit of support and reblog to your heart’s content!

For anyone who doesn’t know, the Edinburgh International Film Festival is underway in our nation’s Capital.

I would recommend not watching all 4 ALIEN films, I’d recommend not watching ALIEN before – nor immediately after.

Get that series out of your head, that’s not what this film is about.

This isn’t a prequel.

It is a separate story decades before Ripley’s NOSTROMO journey. This is our first Science mission in a Weyland, not yet WEYLAND-YUTANI, universe……..

Harry Knowles on ‘Prometheus’

Prometheus - My spoiler free thoughts

I loved the fact that I was going into this without really knowing what the hell it was about, it just kinda added to the experience.

I’ll just put it out there, I liked it a lot and I can see why Sir Ridders has been saying that it’s not a direct prequel to his Alien masterpiece.

The Production design on Prometheus is simply breathtaking. The creation of these sets (and they ARE sets) must’ve been a labour of love for all involved and practical sets can add so much to a film’s depth in a way that CG environments never can.

I only have a couple of gripes relating to the ‘Space Jockey’ we see in ‘Alien’ and the very end, which just seemed slapped on to appeal to fans.

Other than that, I will see this several times and will be going again this weekend to see it in IMAX.
