The Design of 'Prometheus'

The New York Times presents a slideshow of the epic production design of Ridley Scott's space odyssey Prometheus, with captions provided by production designer Arthur Max. 

Says Max, "We wanted to do a lot of research into what to expect on an actual distant planet. So we went to NASA and we got a consultant, a planetary scientist who talked to us about what conditions to expect. We tried to feel our way through where reality and fantasy intersect.”
