And with one of the most eagerly-awaited movie prequels of all time hitting the cinemas this weekend – Prometheus – what better time to have a Blastermind devoted to films and shows that came after but were set before (if you get our drift – it’s a genre that feels like it needs a whole new set of grammar rules of its own).
So, can you identify the 15 prequels below? We reckon they’re a mix of the super-easy and the super difficult. And one is a real trick question…
Usual request: please don’t put answers in the comments section below (though feel free to use it to boast/bemoan how well/badly you’re doing) but the folks on this thread are quite happy for you to post and discuss answers if you follow the golden rule of only posting answers in invisible text (if you don’t know how ask somebody there – they’re very friendly).
