German blog A Freak Like Me has posted up the following image of the packaging for the Prometheus to Alien: Evolution boxset, and very nice it looks too!
So far, France and Germany are the only countries who’s Amazon stores are listing this set, but given that the writing on the discs is in English, I think it’s a safe bet that the rest of the world will be seeing it too.
The set looks like it simply brings together the existing Alien Anthology set with the Prometheus SE release (you can find a list of the Prometheus extra features we know about so far here), so if you already have the former there may not be any new here. That said, for a collector this would look really nice on your shelf, right?

Do you have something to say about the worlds of Prometheus, Blade Runner, Alien or other Ridley Scott works?
We are looking for volunteer writers who have passion and an opinion to share their thoughts.
Maybe you just have something you want to get off your chest, a hither-to unvoiced theory that answers all the questions that people may have, or a long gestating academic piece about the meaning of Gaff’s origami that will blow our minds, now’s your chance to share it.
If you can write a well thought-out piece of at least 1000 words, have a good grasp of English and a love of your subject, please send us your details with a brief summary of what you’d like to say, and we’ll take it from there!
With all the recent chatter around what rating Prometheus would be receiving, in a staggering coincidence (!), the BBFC have raided their archives to bring us their original examiner’s report which shows the thoughts behind the film’s 1979 ‘X’ rating.
As with all their ‘From the Archives’ articles, this is a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of the organisation, which is now working hard – and successfully – to shake off their traditionally secretive image.
There was a time when no one had seen a facehugger, or a chestburster, or had heard the phrase ‘In Space No One Can Hear You Scream’. Alien first appeared in 1979 and since then HR Giger’s biomechanical nightmare has never really left our screens, appearing in six motion pictures (or seven if you count Predator 2) and countless comic books and video games.
With Ridley Scott revisiting the Alien universe this month in Prometheus, we take a look at what the BBFC made of Alien when it first came to the Board.
Examiners found themselves weighing up whether to pass the film ‘AA’, which would have made the film available to those aged 14 and up or ‘X’ for 18 years and over. In the end the film was passed ‘X’ in line with other horror films of the time such as Invasion of the Body Snatchers. However some comparisons were drawn between Alien and Jaws and there was discussion as to whether younger viewers would be able handle Alien or whether the level of fear generated and the dark tone were too much.
You can download the archive, in PDF format, directly from here.

Nope, not the upcoming Aliens: Colonial Marines (being covered in great detail on AvP Galaxy).
A new Alien universe game is in development for current AND next-gen consoles, according to Gamerzines, who spotted a job posting on developer The Creative Assembly’s website:
“We are seeking an experienced programmer with proven skills in the area of gameplay and multi-player games. The successful applicant will be working on a AAA multi-platform title on current and future generation consoles set in the Alien universe.”
With the resurgence of interest in the Alien universe surrounding the release of Prometheus, it seems a great opportunity to allow gamers to explore it. As long as they don’t bugger it up of course…
