Real poster?

Link is dead.

Pretty sure its a fake. I know I have seen that around the net a few months ago....

I am hoping this is going to be good.

The Photo that is up at IMDb now for Prometheus (8/18/11) is cool looking (Person running or walking in a zero gravity, looks like he or she is on top of a ship.) cannot wait for a trailer.

Sorry to say, it's actually someone dancing with a bag of trash.

Spy Shots From PROMETHEUS!! **Some Visual Spoilers**



Well it was bound to happen sometime and here they are: Set photos from Ridley Scott's PROMETHEUS have hit the Interwebs. Earlier shots were less than impressive and revealed nothing, but these are definitely much more worth while.



Enjoy them while you can as who knows if Fox will want to have them removed. I always comply with studios as they cooperate with me.

Yes, it sure does! Glad there wasn't anything too revealing in those pictures, like the alien. I got to be careful of this thread, the closer we get to release date. I want to keep some element of surprise.

[kristoffer]

We need a trailer for this!

Were those eggs?

Well, it appears that we have a plot synopsis-





From cinemaspy.com-


If you’re worried that Ridley Scott’s return to the Alien universe he kick-started will just be more of the same, belay that fear. It looks like Prometheus is going to give us much more, based on the description on the film’s official Facebook page. We got wind of the cool-sounding update below courtesy of the website io9‘s twitter feed (@io9):

[Show spoiler]
Ridley Scott, director of “Alien” and “Blade Runner,” returns to the genre he helped define. With PROMETHEUS, he creates a groundbreaking mythology, in which a team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a thrilling journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race.

We say thanks to our source because that has got us pretty pumped about the new movie, which is expected in theaters on June 8, 2012. Then again, maybe we shouldn’t have had doubts given the esteemed personnel behind the film. With Scott directing, Damon Lindelof and Jon Spaihts writing and Michael Fassbender, Noomi Rapace; Charlize Theron, Guy Pearce and Ben Foster in the cast, how can it go wrong?

'Prometheus' Scribe Damon Lindelof Talks Robots, Slimy Corporations & Ridley Scott

The official "Prometheus" synopsis has been unleashed, and as cool as it is — A discovery about the origins of humanity! An intergalactic voyage! An extraterrestrial battle with genocide-level implications! — the description still leaves much about Ridley Scott's "Alien"-DNA project unknown.

All in good time. Back at San Diego Comic-Con, though, "Prometheus" writer/producer Damon Lindelof kicked us a ton of info about his collaboration with Scott, the nature of the roles Michael Fassbender and Charlize Theron play in the film, and who might actually turn out to be the hero-heir to Sigourney Weaver's Ripley. With the "Prometheus" synopsis on the web, we figured now is the right time to roll out our interview. Read on for insight into the 2012 flick, in Lindelof's own words.

Collaborating with Ridley
"Having done 'Lost' for six years, I felt this tremendous responsibility because I'm one of the visionaries behind the show, so there's no safety net below you. When I got the call [from Ridley] I had this tremendous amount of relief and comfort that Ridley Scott is going to be the safety net. What ensued was a series of conversations where I was kind of interviewing Ridley to get a sense of the movie he wanted to make. Once I got a sense of that, then it was really about channeling that idea so that I was realizing his vision, as opposed to imposing my vision on it. That was my perspective. His perspective was more kind and generous in terms of ideas that I brought to the movie. But really everything I was coming up with was just a different spin on what he was saying to me."

Fassbender's Role
"He plays a robot. One of the things that evokes the idea of 'Blade Runner' is, 'What does the movie look like from the robot's point of view?' If you were to ask him, 'What do you think about all of this? What's going on? What do you think about these humans who are around you?,' wouldn't it be cool if we found a way for that robot to answer those questions. When you cast a guy like Fassbender, who's going to bring a lot more to it than [makes clichéd robot movements] — that was me doing the robot, I don't know if you could tell — it's not Anthony Daniels. All due respect. He's phenomenal. But C-P3O…"

Theron's Role
"Her character's name is Meredith Vickers and she's sort of a corporate entity. That's another one of the familiar things from the 'Alien' movies — that there are corporate interests in play. I feel like Charlize brought a new spin on that old variation. It's a remix …. I don't think she's slimy [like Paul Reiser's character in 'Aliens']. She's not the fast-talking, snake-oil face of the company. By the way, "What company is she a face of?," I think is a big part of the fun. As we were developing the script, she had some really cool ideas that made it not the suit you're used to."

The Ensemble
"I think one of the really cool things about the first 'Alien,' if you watch it cold, Ripley is kind in the background like one of the crew members, and you're like, 'Skerrit's [who played Captain Dallas] the hero of the movie,' and he's one of the first to go. And then you're like, 'It's [the engineer played by] Harry Dean Stanton.' And, no, he's gone… and suddenly Sigourney Weaver, in the last 40 minutes of the movie, is the only one left alive. I think the idea of building a really cool ensemble and again presenting the audience with like, 'Who's going to be left standing at the end of this movie? Maybe all of them. Probably not,' [that's] part of the fun of what we set out to do."

I want to see a teaser now

I know it sounds a little mean, but I need something tangable to have to get behind the film 100%
