A worrying trend has emerged in the last couple of years. Rather than waiting for a movies release, promoting it with a trailer that gives little away, then unleashing the main players into media days, studios now see fit to release clip after clip, trailer after trailer, and interview after interview before release. Some films benefit greatly from this process, mainly due to a wafer-thin story and obvious narrative, but others, I’m looking at you PROMETHEUS, have been ruined by a studios pernicious leak of video. One could probably have pieced together each clip released for PROMETHEUS and watched the whole film. For this reason the videos below, from our great friends at Collider, have been posted blind by yours truly for fear I may ruin what will undoubtedly be another Neill Blomkamp masterpiece after the spectacular DISTRICT 9.
Ok, I gave in and watched them and ELYSIUM looks bloody brilliant. Let us know your thoughts after watching.
