The Furious Gods: Making Prometheus
(2012)

One of the best 'behind the scenes/making of, that I've seen in a long time...
Ridley Scott is from 'old film school' and yet he is one of the very few, that cares about having good extras on DVD and Blu-Ray, for us, film fanatics. So I'll thank him for that. If you are a fan of Blade Runner see ''Dangerous Days'', it's equally good, and it's also 3 hours long.

I didn't loved 'Prometheus', when I saw it. I felt disappointed at the time, but that's because of the dazed script. I just felt that Ridley was so anxious to show the amazing visual effects, that he had in his mind, that didn't properly polished the story.

I'm alway eager to see some good 'behind the scenes' footage, but this was beyond my expectations! We can see every step, from scratch, since the creation of the tittle, the visual effects, casting choices, scriptwriting, etc... Nothing was left behind in this documentary, I guarantee you!

NOTE:

  • By the way, if you are a young filmmaker, and you like to learn about film craft, this is an excellent tour for you do see how stuff is made. Even if you hated PROMETHEUS, you should see this documentary.

Skyfall

What (still) makes people go to see a Bond film ?
Why do we go to see a 007 film ? Because we are fans? Because we like action? Because we are used to it? Or because we are waiting to see a really different Bond film? In my opinion the Bond 'franchise' it's saturated. A new good reboot of the James Bond universe must be done. Innovate the opening credits, the main theme, Bond's personality, everything should be transformed in a new look, because honestly, the 007 features are not bringing anything new...

Cristopher Nolan expressed interest in directing a 007 film, so I say, let the guy make something! I mean, he did a good job with the Batman trilogy...
