Ridley Scott's 3-D sci-fi thriller "Prometheus" is shrouded in mystery. Now
EW offers a first look at the "Aliens"-related VFX space epic set for June 2012 release starring Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Noomi Rapace, Idris Elba, Patrick Wilson, Guy Pearce. Need we say more?
We got our first peak at
Comic-Con (the fest's prime asset). Fassbender
told us that he plays an android based on the physicality of diver Greg Louganis. "There’s definitely a link to 'Alien,' there’s creatures in it that you’ll recognize,” he said at Comic-Con. Theron added that "people should really let go of the idea that it’s an Alien film.” Want more images?
Here.
At Comic-Con, Fox and Scott downplayed the sci-fi space thriller's relationship to Scott's original film and the kick-ass James Cameron sequel "Aliens." But Scott admits that this movie is grown from the same DNA. The movie is a further exploration of that future world produced with the scale and scope that new technology makes possible. And its ultimate goal is "to scare the living shit out of you," Scott said via satellite from Iceland.

1) Why do their collars have nice warm lights on them, other than to create sharp lighting on the actors' faces?
2) Why is Fassbender's hair so perfectly coifed? He's in outer space in a spacesuit...
