If you’ve been as excited as we are around these parts for Ridley Scott’s return to sci-fi (and the Alien universe?) then chances are this weekend was like opening up your favourite box of cereal and finding not just the one promised mystery surprise, but a completely unexpected second one. (Strangely, neither of which turned out to be diabetes.) Not …

And no, that’s not a typo. This Friday sees the release of the next trailer for Ridley Scott’s Prometheus and like most film fans, we have been chomping at the bit at our next glimpse of the science-fiction epic.

You may remember the amazing Lion King Rises trailer that mashed up the Lion King with the Dark Knight Rises trailer. Well now the guys at Crave Online have done it again, this time with Ridley Scott’s Prometheus – my most anticpated film of 2012 – and Pixar’s Wall-E – possibly the greatest little robot love story ever told. The …

Right, we’re a week into 2012 and it’s time to look ahead at the notable new releases of the next 6 months.
