Ridley Scott’s Prometheus Looks Like the Mass Effect Movie

The latest issue of Entertainment Weekly rounds-up the biggest summer films of 2012, among which is the much anticipated Prometheus from director Ridley Scott.

Take a look at the pictures from the set and tell us what videogame they remind you of.

It's uncanny. If I wasn't following the project closely and just saw the pictures I would assume that these were from the set of the Mass Effect movie (which is not an entirely bad idea as far as videogame movies go).

Of course, Alien and Blade Runner (also directed by Ridley Scott) have had a huge influence on videogames, as you can tell by playing anything from Metroid, to Halo, to the upcoming Prey 2. So it's a little bit like Scott is borrowing from a videogame that has borrowed from his films. However, it's most likely that the similarities are coincidental.

Prometheus will be the first science fiction film Ridley Scott has directed since 1982's Blade Runner, and Scott has indicated that it is a kind of prequel to the Alien series by way of the famous Space Jockey. And if that wasn't exciting enough, Scott has also recently talked about his plans for a new Blade Runner film.
