Prometheus Trailer – Get excited about Ridley’s return to sci-fi

After 20th Century Fox spent the last few days bigging up the release of a trailer for Prometheus (by releasing trailers for the trailer), they needed to deliver something worthwhile. Now that trailer is here and while it’s only a minute long it’s difficult not to get excited. Although in interviews Ridley has tried to distance the movie from Alien, suggesting it’s not a prequel in the way you’d normally think (there’ll be no xenomorph, for example), this trailer puts it smack bang in the same world, with a nod to Alien in both the production design and the way the title is revealed. It’s undoubtedly very cool and sets Prometheus up as one of the must watch flicks of 2012. Let’s just cross out finger Ridley can pull it off. Prometheus hits cinemas June 1st, 2012.
