While we haven’t seen much from this project, the promotional machine behind the upcoming Ridley Scott film Prometheus is about to start running.
ComingSoon has the first poster for the upcoming film, slated to star Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, and Charlize Theron, and it’s quite a beauty. Seemingly inspired by the posters for Scott’s Alien and its subsequent sequels, of which this is considered a part of, the poster has a distinct sense of dread, telling the viewer that this won’t be a fun sci-fi adventure.
You can see the full Prometheus poster below.
With the film set to bow on June 8, a trailer should be right around the corner. Featuring a great cast, a Ridley Scott that seems to be back on his A-game, and a creepy looking poster, this film has rather high expectations. It remains to be seen if the film will actually be able to stick the landing, but hopes are definitely high.

So .. there’s a huge stone or metal head, which kind of reminds me of greek sculpture. And there’s a slender, female character discovering it with her torch. If I knew nothing about this movie or it’s apparent links to the Alien franchise, only having seen this poster and the previous publicity still, I think I could be forgiven for drawing comparisons to things like Ulysses 31 or the Star Trek episode; Who Mourns For Adonais? Perhaps the intrepid space explorers find some decrepit monolithic Greek Gods out in the far reaches of space….
