Damon Lindelof talks Michael Fassbender in Prometheus

20th Century Fox is being incredibly tight-lipped about Ridley Scott's new addition to the Alien series but a few more details about Prometheus are starting to emerge.Yesterday we had an official synopsis that answered a few questions and now writer Damon Lindelof has revealed some very interesting details."[Michael Fassbender] plays a robot. One of the things that evokes the idea of Blade Runner is, 'What does the movie look like from the robot's point of view?' If you were to ask him, 'What do you think about all of this? What's going on? What do you think about these humans who are around you?', wouldn't it be cool if we found a way for that robot to answer those questions," Lindelof said in an interview with MTV.Lindelof also talked about Charlize Theron's role and her character's paycheck courtesy of Weyland-Yutani."Her character's name is Meredith Vickers and she's sort of a corporate entity. That's another one of the familiar things from the Alien movies - that there are corporate interests in play. I feel like Charlize brought a new spin on that old variation. It's a remix... I don't think she's slimy [like Paul Reiser's character in Aliens]. She's not the fast-talking, snake-oil face of the company. By the way, 'What company is she a face of?' I think is a big part of the fun. As we were developing the script, she had some really cool ideas that made it not the suit you're used to."Lindelof is also keen to stress that this is all Ridley's vision, despite his work on the script: "It was really about channelling that idea so that I was realising his vision, as opposed to imposing my vision on it."

City seen as an plus for NYMF projects

'Kiki Baby' is about the slate in the NY Musical Theater Festival. Large-money hits from "Wicked" to "It of Mormon" to such performance-oriented Television shows as "Glee" and also the approaching "Smash" keep motivating producers to build up new musicals. Before individuals shows can land a long run, they need to walk. And that is where, for a number of them, the NY Musical Theater Festival (running Sept. 26-March. 16) is available in. "Through the years, NYMF continues to be recognized like a place where projects that do not have connections in the market can stand before a crowd and go onto the next phase,Inch states fest professional director Isaac Robert Hurwitz. "It is also a location where projects from well-known people who maybe haven't found traction yet is visible and developed." The eighth annual fest's slate around 30 shows includes names that vary wildly from little-known up-and-comers to Rialto veterinarians, including Lonny Cost ("Master Harold and also the Boys"), David Shire ("Large") and Andrea McArdle ("Annie"). Notable past fest output includes "Alongside Normal" and "[title of show]," each of which eventually continued to Broadway, in addition to Off Broadway veterinarians "Yank!" and lengthy-runner "Altar Boyz." The curated selection reps a mix of tuners asked to look within the fest through industry networking as well as the "Next Link" roster of musicals that land in the festival via its open distribution policy. Event earnings about 40,000 participants each year. A slot within the fest is not even close to a totally free ride. Although Hurwitz estimations NYMF provides about $30,000 in marketing, production along with other support for every show, additional budget costs per project run from $15,000 on up -- and every one of it must be elevated through the creatives or perhaps an attached producer. , about 25% which is produced by ticket salesTor Hyams and Adam LeBow's tuner "Greenwood," for example, includes a cast of 22 and five music artists. The creatives the NYMF production, funded usually by "individuals who love the project and those that love us," is managing a price within the high five figures. "Greenwood" had earlier blood pressure measurements in L.A., "but to consider a project one stage further, you need to get musical theater industry individuals to view it in NY," states Hyams from the show, a semi-autobiographical take a look at several grown ups getting back in a performance-oriented camp. "When NYMF emerged like a possibility, it appeared prefer platform for all of us.Inch For Cost, who's co-pointing Jenn Colella-toplined black comedy "Kiki Baby," his second show at NYMF, among the key benefits of the fest would be that the theater biz runs with the center from the city. "To walk out town, I could not obtain the quality of entertainers I've now," he states. "And I'll have really wise people within the audience watching it and giving notes." The festival initially needed to create an account by itself outside of another fall event, the nation's Alliance for Musical Theater's festival, which presents a far more focused assortment of tuners observed in 45-minute staged blood pressure measurements by a business-only aud. With this largely accomplished, next year's NYMF will change to midsummer, running This summer 9-29 inside a timeslot when property demands and legit arranging should prove calmer compared to new-season hurry of fall. Regardless of once the fest happens, however, it's become obvious through the years that the visit NYMF can put a project on the path to the Rialto -- eventually. "What we should do at NYMF isn't the final stage of these shows," Hurwitz states. " 'Next to Normal' required 4 years to achieve Broadway, and thus did '[title of show].'

Trespass

Nicolas Cage and Nicole Kidman star in the Joel Schumacher thriller 'Trespass.'A Millennium Entertainment release of a Millennium presentation of a Nu Image/Winkler Films production in association with Saturn Films. Produced by Irwin Winkler, David Winkler, Rene Besson. Executive producer, Avi Lerner, Danny Dimbort, Trevor Short, Boaz Davidson, John Thompson. Co-producer, Matthew Leonetti Jr. Directed by Joel Schumacher. Screenplay, Karl Gajdusek.Kyle Miller - Nicolas Cage Sarah Miller - Nicole Kidman Elias - Ben Mendelsohn Avery Miller - Liana Liberato Jonah - Cam Gigandet Petal - Jordana Spiro Ty - Dash Mihok Kendra - Emily MeadeYet another intense thriller about an upscale family terrorized by violent home invaders, "Trespass" takes an old-school approach to unsettling auds, largely eschewing the sadism and nihilism that lately have been hallmarks of this subgenre. Helmer Joel Schumacher and a game cast headed by Nicolas Cage and Nicole Kidman do their damnedest to build and sustain suspense while trying, with some degree of success, to breathe fresh life into a formulaic, even generic scenario. Still, B.O. expectations are something less than lofty: Pic kicks off VOD and theatrical runs Oct. 14, with homevid release announced for Nov. 1. Opening scenes briskly illuminate financial and familial tensions while introducing Kyle Miller (Cage), a fast-talking diamond dealer; Sarah (Kidman), his gorgeous architect wife; and Avery (Liana Liberato of David Schwimmer's "Trust"), their rebellious teenage daughter. Even as Kyle wheels his Porche through the security gate and into the driveway of his ultra-expensive (and conspicuously unfinished) steel-and-glass modernist home, Kyle struggles to repress desperation and exude confidence while teleconferencing with potential clients and debt collectors. Once inside the house -- which, very conveniently for plot purposes, is located in a secluded spot surrounded by a thick forest -- Kyle finds his wife and daughter arguing over whether Avery should attend a party with an uninhibited friend. Avery refuses to take no for an answer and slips out the back door, leaving her parents alone long enough to share a meaningful conversation about the emotional distance between them. Then bad guys disguised as cops arrive at their door, and the nightmare begins in earnest. Much of "Trespass" is devoted to Kyle's frantic bouts of bargaining with the invaders' belligerently sarcastic leader, Elias (Ben Mendelsohn, "Animal Kingdom"), a tough but not unintelligent fellow who appears to know a great deal about the security system of Kyle's house and the likely contents of Kyle's safe. Despite physical and verbal abuse, Kyle refuses to open that safe, fearing, with ample justification, that as soon as the intruders get what they want, they'll kill him, his wife and, after she returns unexpectedly, Avery. Cage is in fine form throughout "Trespass," especially during those stretches when Kyle -- sometimes shrewd, sometimes scared, always plotting his next counter-offer -- improvises one frantic negotiation after another. What Kyle gives is nothing short of the sales pitch of a lifetime. Appropriately enough, Mendelsohn powerfully portrays Elias as the most unreasonably demanding customer the diamond dealer has ever encountered. While working entirely within genre conventions and expectations, scripter Karl Gajdusek nonetheless manages to spring a few surprises while revealing character motivations, often suggesting that nothing, not even flashbacks, should be taken at face value. He also does a clever job of planting elements in the first act for ironic payoff in the third; some viewers may laugh out loud as soon as they realize why, late in the story, they're returning to a roadside location visited earlier. Some of the dialogue is cringe-worthy banal or worse, and the actors can't do anything with the worst lines but shout them at the top of their lungs. Cage risks inspiring derisive giggles when he snarls, for reasons best left unexplained, "Your filthy lust invited them in!" Overall, though, the perfs are pitched at the right emotional extremes. Kidman credibly conveys everything from bemused maternal concern to teary and trembling terror, and she also enhances the ambiguity of her scenes alone with Cam Gigandet, who's well cast as a seemingly sensitive intruder. Production designer Nathan Amondson and ace lenser Andrzej Bartkowiak are of immeasurable assistance to Schumacher as the vet helmer contrives to make the sprawling Miller family home seem like the most claustrophobic place on earth.Camera (Technicolor), Andrzej Bartkowiak; editor, Bill Pankow; music, David Buckley; production designer, Nathan Amondson; art director, William Budge XVI; set designer, Patricia Klawonn, Wm.

Fox bets on DreamWorks' 'Robopocalypse'

SpielbergNot flinching after missing with "Cowboys & Aliens," DreamWorks is doubling down on original sci-fi summer fare with "Robopocalypse" and -- just as with its $160 million-plus genre mash-up -- has lined up outside money to hedge the bet. The biggest differences this time: Instead of Jon Favreau, they've got Steven Spielberg. And instead of Universal/Relativity sharing the risk, DreamWorks is going halfsies with 20th Century Fox. Disney will distribute "Robopocalypse" domestically through its Touchstone label, while Fox will handle international territories. The companies will share equally in worldwide theatrical revenues from the day-and-date release and will unspool the pic over the July 4 weekend in 2013 -- one week earlier than Warner Bros.' robots-vs.-aliens pic "Pacific Rim." The dating is doubly interesting, given that sources close to "Robopocalypse" say Legendary, which set up "Pacific Rim" with Guillermo del Toro, had sniffed around the Spielberg project before it ultimately landed at Fox. While the idea of Spielberg directing a futuristic summer tentpole about robots seems like a sure bet -- prompting some to question why DreamWorks would give away a piece of the profit pie -- the company has typically lined up a studio partner on big-budget productions. Fox and Spielberg have a film relationship dating back to 2002's "Minority Report," which grossed nearly $300 million worldwide, and more recently through 20th Century Fox TV's "Terra Nova," which Spielberg is exec-producing with Peter Chernin. For "Robopocalypse," Spielberg developed the script along with DreamWorks co-chairman and CEO Stacey Snider. Fox had been aggressively courting the project, enticed by Spielberg's heft behind an original event film. "It feels to us, in a world of events, that this is an uber-event," one exec close to the project says. Sci-fi epic was adapted from Daniel H. Wilson's novel by scribe Drew Goddard. n Contact Rachel Abrams at Rachel.Abrams@variety.com
