Key phrase here is "spoiler free"! Finally we are getting another viral marketing piece from Ridley Scott's PROMETHEUS that uses material that is most likely NOT in the movie itself, similar to the Peter Weyland's TED speech. and DAVID's introduction.
So this is GREAT news for those of you who refuse to spoil their pristine viewing experience of PROMETHEUS in theaters when it comes out. Now there is some minor content about knowing where the answers to life are found, but you shouldn't feel that you can't watch this in my estimation. Still, always be careful. Keep you clicker over the pause button should you panic! :-)
Here's the storyline for the movie:
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.
PROMETHEUS is ready to scare the $#*% out of you on June 8. For ALL of our coverage on this most anticipated movie of the year for me, click here.
This is a fairly interesting press conference in Paris where Ridley Scott is joined by Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender and Noomi Rapace to discuss PROMETHEUS.
Here's the storyline for the movie for you again:

I won't spoil anything in it for you, but there are candid questions posed from the audience as well so it's not a canned marketing event. Check it out!
Thanks for the heads up jonnop! PROMETHEUS opens June 8.
**SAME DAY UPDATE: Fans have uncovered a SECOND image as well!!
Wow - a stunning high resolution photo from PROMETHEUS! Check out the high resolution shot here courtesy of Collider.
Click images to enlarge...
Apparently a website called Project Prometheus has the the hidden high res photo and by adding "/eridu" to the end of the site's top level URL you get prompted for a password which those intrepid fans set out to uncover. Which they did: The password is "tell abu shahrain".
Now this portal is more than likely also host to many other images and clips and we just need to find the passwords. Care to try? :-)
For all of our PROMETHEUS coverage, click here. The movie remains my NUMBER ONE most anticipated movie of 2012. Stay tuned for more!!
THIRD UPDATE: Fox Has Requested This Clip Be Taken Down - I did so, then noticed everyone else has theirs still up - so mine is back up again. **UPDATED with best version so far seen: Yes!! Check this thing out! Is this trailer a bit early, or are we getting a longer one later Saturday? This trailer is only 1 minute, 11 seconds. Time will tell, but in the meanwhile you HAVE to watch this thing!
So AMAZING. I won't spoil it for you!!
Movie geeks will be tearing this apart with a fine tooth comb for weeks to come.
Check it out!!
Apparently Prometheus-Movie (link removed) linked to the clip from someone who posted it on the Prometheus Facebook page. Thanks for the heads up SterTrak23!
Hello. Suffice to say we have been waiting anxiously for this moment - the first of many in the slow marketing review of Ridley Scott's PROMETHEUS set in the classic ALIEN universe.
So take a look at these stunning photos. I want to hear what you guys think you are seeing in them! Clearly the first shot is of Charlize Theron and Idris Elba on the bridge of Prometheus. Look at that amazing shot of Michael Fassbender and Noomi Rapace in their suits!!
Here's the official storyline for PROMETHEUS:
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.
And here's some of the star-studded cast principals:
Noomi Rapace as Dr. Elizabeth Shaw, a character Rapace has likened to the Alien franchise's Ellen Ripley.
Charlize Theron as Meredith Vickers. Theron described the character as "a suit who slowly sheds that skin through the film". Further description: "a fortysomething, tough-but-sexy woman".
Michael Fassbender as David, an android.
Idris Elba as Captain Janek
Logan Marshall-Green as Holloway, Elizabeth's love interest.
Emun Elliot as Chance
Benedict Wong as Ravel

Oh man is this thing ever going to rock. What do you think of the first look?

I was hoping for her to land the part and she did. Charlize Theron will headline Ridley Scott's PROMETHEUS sci-fi epic says Variety.
Theron will share screen time with Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender, both of whom are perfect for their parts IMO.
Theron is a great actor. Anyone who has seen MONSTER will attest to that. If she can bring that intensity to the role, than I think we have casting gold for PROMETHEUS.
Ok there's a lot of alliteration in that title, but why not have a little fun with this? After all, Ridley Scott and Damon Lindelof have just created an entirely new mythology and universe to play in for us!
PROMETHEUS is the title of the new science fiction thriller Scott has up his sleeve and it all evolved from his working with Lindelof to flesh out the ALIEN PREQUEL.
Apparently there are some elements inherited from ALIEN but we can expect to be immersed into a brand new place. Exciting or what?
Fox has announced that Noomi Rapace (THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO) will star as "Elizabeth Shaw" and Angelina Jolie and Charlize Theron are interested in yet another major female role ("Vickers")!
Says Scott: "While Alien was indeed the jumping off point for this project, out of the creative process evolved a new, grand mythology and universe in which this original story takes place. The keen fan will recognize strands of Alien’s DNA, so to speak, but the ideas tackled in this film are unique, large and provocative. I couldn’t be more pleased to have found the singular tale I’d been searching for, and finally return to this genre that’s so close to my heart."
Added Lindelof: "In a world flooded with prequels, sequels and reboots, I was incredibly struck by just how original Ridley’s vision was for this movie. It’s daring, visceral and hopefully, the last thing anyone expects."
If it was even possible, I am even more amped about this new direction! I am dying to see what sort of universe Scott could take us to - his last Sci-Fi was BLADE RUNNER. All those ideas in his head for so long, mixed with the creativeness of Lindelof... well let's just say anticipation is high.
Movie is set for release on March 9, 2012.
