On March 9th, Disney finally releases John Carter, and to get us in the mood, a final trailer for the movie has been released, which is filled with full-on CGI action from start to finish. Here’s the synopsis: ‘John Carter tells the tale of war-weary, former military captain John Carter, who is inexplicably transported to Mars where he becomes reluctantly involved in a conflict of epic proportions between the inhabitants of the planet.

Based on the classic novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, creator of Tarzan, John Carter is the story which inspired many of the most imaginative and well known Hollywood movies, past and present. Next year will mark the 100th anniversary of the John Carter character, first created in the Edgar Rice Burroughs novel.’

Ridley Scott has been incredibly tight-lipped about Prometheus, revealing as little about the movie a humanly possible. A couple of days ago he did say the only link to Alien was Peter Weyland, creator of the cybernetic beings that would eventually lead to Ash and Bishop, even though the trailers we’ve had have shown there are far more links to Alien than that.

Now a viral has shown up online, which features Guy Pearce as Peter Weyland, giving a very interesting talk. He gives us our first proper clues as to why the film is called Prometheus and suggests that the idea of technology making man be like a god will be at the heart of the movie. Does it mean that by the end of the film, it will be people who’ve created the aliens? We’ll have to wait and see when the film is released on June 1st, but for now watch the viral and start to speculate!

Jimmy Kimmel sure has a knack for getting the creme de la creme of Hollywood to take part in skits for his US talk show, Jimmy Kimmel Live and he’s outdone himself with his new Oscar special, a nine-minute trailer parody featuring just about everybody you can imagine.
