But a paradise this ain’t. At one end of the drizzly basin, giant stone steps are littered with immolated Engineers, the porcelain- smooth old gods perfectly preserved in their chargrilled final moments like the haunting spectres of Pompeii. At the other end of the vast, open-air space stands a blue screen so big it’s being held up by cranes and a wall of shipping containers stacked three high. The centre of gravity around which everything orbits: Ridley Scott – the eclectic Brit filmmaker and 79-year- old workhorse who’s presiding over sets as staggeringly huge as SFX has ever seen.

  • Mars Attacks!
    akademiskkvarter Volume 02 • 2011 academic quarter The Meek Inherit the Earth Celebrating the End of American Power in Mars Attacks! James D. Stone (Ph.D) is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Cinematic Arts at the University of New Mexi- co. His writing explores British cinema’s relation- ship with American culture, Hollywood’s depiction of terrorism, and the aesthetics of violence. A recent paper, “Enjoying 9/11: The Pleasures of Cloverfield,” is soon to be published by Duke University’s Radi- cal History Review. “They blew up Congress!” exclaims a sprightly old woman, dissolv- ing into paroxysms of throaty laughter. Martians have invaded Earth and are beginning to lay waste to the icons of American pow- er. The White House is breached and set aflame, the First Lady crushed by a chandelier, the President pierced by a diabolical alien probe. Presently, the Washington Monument collapses atop a group of hapless boy scouts. And it is all tremendously funny. Mars At- tacks! (Burton, 1996) invites us to cackle along with its anarchic octo- genarian and take as much joy as she does in the systematic decima- tion of the United States. This dark satire presents an America so infested with corrupt institutions and repellent people that it fully deserves the punishment it receives at the spindly hands of gleefully malevolent aliens. Indeed, the film mischievously hints that the fall of the U.S. would be no tragedy, but an occasion for celebration. In 1996, the year of the film’s release, this open revelry in Ameri- ca’s destruction certainly raised a few eyebrows.

Alright, it sort of is. Look, it’s acid-drooling biomechanoid star beast… about really BIG concepts, see for yourselves, OK?’ As risky strategies go, it was up there with ‘Star Trek Into Darkness is definitely not a rubbish re-tread of The Wrath of Khan!’ and yet it paid off to the worldwide box office tune of $403 million, proving that the sense of mystique created around Prometheus had worked out rather well. As the final credits rolled over Elizabeth Shaw and her android companion David flying off in search of the Engineers’ planet in a hot-wired juggernaut spacecraft, one mystery had definitely been cleared up: Prometheus was indeed a prequel to Alien - we saw so many would-be versions of the creature it might as well have been called Alien: Prototype - but by no means a conventional one.
