"The search for our beginning could lead to our end"

I have eagerly been awaiting the prequel to the Alien mythos since I first heard about it. June 2012 is the official release date and it seems forever away. Ridley Scott, director of ‘Alien’ returns to direct ‘Prometheus.’ Although, not a direct prequel to ‘Alien,’ the film touches on the story of the original of the race of the derelict ship found by the crew of Nostromo in ‘Alien’

Synopsis:

Visionary filmmaker Ridley Scott returns to the genre he helped define, creating an original science fiction epic set in the most dangerous corners of the universe. The film takes a team of scientists and explorers on a thrilling journey that will test their physical and mental limits and strand them on a distant world, where they will discover the answers to our most profound questions and to life’s ultimate mystery.

Enjoy the trailer until then:

While trying to rectify the wrongful arrest of one Harry Buttle, Lowry meets the woman he is always chasing in his dreams, Jill Layton. Meanwhile, the bureaucracy has fingered him responsible for a rash of terrorist bombings, and both Sam and Jill’s lives are put in danger.
