After first finding their way online in the form of scans from last weeks edition of Entertainment Weekly, Twentieth Century Fox has finally released these five images, in hi-res from, from ‘Prometheus,’ Ridley Scott’s prequel to his 1979 classic sci-fi film, ‘Alien.’ The images provide us with our first clear look at Meredith Vickers (Charlize Theron), Captain Janek (Idris Elba), Holloway (Logan Marshall-Green), Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) and David (Michael Fassbender), alongside some intriguing set pieces. My excitement meter is officially set to ‘squeal like a Japanese schoolgirl’ for this film. ‘Prometheus’ also stars Sean Harris, Kate Dickie, Guy Pearce, and Rafe Spall. Look out for the film in cinemas June 8th 2012. The film is written by Damon Lindelof, Jon Spaihts and Ridley Scott. Expect to see a trailer shortly.

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.
