Prometheus Trailer

After much hype earlier this week, including a teaser trailer for this trailer, the first look at Prometheus has arrived.  Directed by Ridley Scott, the movie started out as a straight up prequel to Scott’s 1979 classic, Alien, but for one reason or another, the movie is being promoted as it’s own thing but kind of in the same universe as Alien.  Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba and Noomi Rapace star as a crew of space explorers who discover a major clue to the origin of mankind on Earth and they set out to the edge of the galaxy to investigate and, as you might expect, bad things happen.  You can definitely a bunch of Alien influences in the trailer, including the space suits, personnel carriers, slightly different looking egg sacs and a brief glimpse of what has to be the Space Jockey coming up from an underground compartment.  It’s looking pretty good and it’s cool to see Scott return to sci-fi after he’s gone through his historical epic and modern military intrigue phases.  Check out the teaser trailer below and the movie is out in June of next year.
