The Film for You on Instagram: "The breathtaking opening of Prometheus was shot at Iceland’s Dettifoss waterfall, one of the most powerful in Europe. Ridley Scott chose it for its raw, alien-like beauty, and the mist, roar, and stark volcanic terrain created an otherworldly atmosphere without heavy CGI, setting the tone for the film’s epic scope."

cinelated on Instagram: "The stunning opening scene of Prometheus was captured at Iceland’s Dettifoss waterfall. Ridley Scott chose the location because its volcanic landscape looked alien even before VFX were added. The crew reportedly had to protect cameras with waterproof housings because the spray from the waterfall was so intense. The natural atmosphere instantly helped set the film’s mysterious tone. 🎬: Prometheus (2012) #prometheus #alien #ridleyscott"
