Ridley Scott’s divisive ‘Alien’ prequel ‘Prometheus<\/a>‘ will get an exclusive Blu-ray 3D SteelBook at Play this fall in the United Kingdom.
\n<\/p>\n

The ‘Prometheus’ Blu-ray SteelBook (both 3D and 2D included) will be exclusively available at Play in Europe on October 1st. <\/p>\n

From the official synopsis:<\/p>\n

Returning to the genre he helped define, Sir Ridley Scott has crafted the most unforgettable experience of 2012 in ‘Prometheus’. This gripping, thought-provoking and often terrifying masterpiece features a stellar ensemble cast including Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender, Guy Pearce, Noomi Rapace, Logan Marshall-Green and Idris Elba and is a must-have for any self-respecting film fan.<\/p>\n

After scientists Elizabeth Shaw (Rapace \u2013 ‘The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’) and Charlie Holloway (Marshall-Green \u2013 ‘Devil’) discover mysterious cave drawings that point to the origins of mankind, they soon find themselves aboard the spaceship Prometheus, sponsored by Weyland Industries and on a journey to uncover the secrets of humanity. Overseen by the imperious Meredith Vickers (Theron \u2013 ‘Snow White & The Huntsman’), looked after by the android David (Fassbender \u2013 ‘X-Men: First Clas’s), and backed up by a team of scientists, Shaw and Holloway arrive on the isolated moon LV-223 to discover an abandoned alien spaceship and the truth… that not all is as it seems…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is certainly a slick-looking case, but to be honest, I had mixed feelings about the movie and seeing it once was enough for me. <\/p>\n

The front cover sports an image of the massive face carving that the research team comes across inside the cave in the movie. Here’s a closer look at the front. (Click the images below to enlarge.)<\/p>\n
