Secret Cinema was... Prometheus

Secret Cinema Presents <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prometheus" title="Prometheus" rel="wikipedia">Prometheus</a> Tickets


Prometheus, are you seeing this? 


Secret Cinema presented Ridley Scott's Prometheus in Euston, London, throughout June, transforming a vast abandoned warehouse into the Brave New Ventures/Weyland Industries embarkation terminal and spacecraft.


The journey of one key employee, Elizabeth, has been documented in the film here. The photographic report was filed here. A press report can be found here.


Following the discovery of Star Maps in caves across the world, over 25,000 Secret Weyland Industries employees travelled to the distant planet LV-223 to search for their creators. They dined at the Future Paradise, the secret restaurant aboard on the ship.


Many went through a strict BNV training programme in the leadup to the missions to ensure all recruits were prepared for the trials to come.


After hypersleep and landing, the Brave crew headed through the airlock onto the planet surface in search of our origins. Some were contaminated. All were evacuated to the escape pods and addressed by Captain Ridley Scott from the upper deck. An important message was then relayed.


We thank our esteemed music partners, Radiohead, for creating a soundscape to enhance the mission across the many dark spaces aboard Prometheus. Thank you for investing in BNV. We shall see you very soon for more adventures. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter for the latest news.


BRAVE NEW PARTNERS
We would like to thank our visual effects partner Framestore, lighting partner Panalux, drinks partner Diageo, projection partner Dolby 3D, travel partner Virgin Trains, car partner Honda and all our contributing partners for their commitment to our vision.


BRAVE NEW PHOTO AND VIDEO COMPETITION
All crew that boarded the ship are requested to submit their photographic and video evidence here. These will be carefully analysed by our Guidelinks at base, with the three most truthful representations of the journey being awarded three pairs of places to the next mission.

Secret Cinema...

Secret Cinema is an organisation that stage cinema events around London and the UK, selling tickets to audiences without them knowing what film they're about to see. Events incorporate theatre, live music and food with the aim of recreating the setting of the film to be screened.

Next week we are going to see something. But we don't know what. We just know we need to dress as Matter Analysts in navy blue jump suits with latex gloves, face masks and boots on and have joined a secretive organisation called Brave New Ventures. It seems like it might be something like Alien or one of it's sequels.Or maybe even it's prequel? The plot thickens.

Watch this space. It starts tonight!
