Flick Bits: First Pics of Ridley Scott’s Prometheus!

23 Nov

Entertainment Weekly has a sneak peek into the much anticipated new Ridley Scott flick, Prometheus (thanks to Stephen Hunt for bringing these to my attention).

Here you go:

Scott’s film, set for release next June, is the latest addition to the Alien universe/series, which began with Alien in 1979 and continued under James Cameron with the 1986 film Aliens.  Prometheus stars Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Patrick Wilson, Idris Elba, Noomi Rapace, and Guy Pearce (among others).

IMDB describes the film as follows:

A team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race.

Additional photos have been posted by io9, some of which you can see below:

I’m willing to admit that the photos alone make me hopeful.  This film is shaping up to be amazing!

    As far as I’m concerned, the movie’s a win already just for being an original idea and not a bloody sequel/remake/reimagining/rebarf.

      Agreed. I just hope it’ll be good. We need more good SF films, not another Transformers…
