Whether Ridley Scott chooses to admit it or not (and he will come release time), his upcoming return to big-budget science fiction Prometheus is linked in more than one vaguely defined way to Alien, the classic intergalactic horror film that made the director’s feature directing career. The recently released teaser trailer and poster are practically wearing the Alien influence in the form of a neon sign mounted on its head. So it makes sense for some clever video editor to link the two movies in the form of a trailer mash-up, and that’s exactly what YouTube user heresjohnny1991 has done.

As far as movie trailers go, this week has been about as good as it gets and quite fitting for the Christmas holiday that is fast approaching.

It began with The Dark Knight Rises (then Wrath of the Titans, for some), followed by The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, and now, to cap it all off, the first trailer for Ridley Scott‘s highly anticipated Alien prequel, Prometheus.

Come this Thursday, the first trailer for Ridley Scott‘s Alien prequel, Prometheus, will be released online.

Until then, however, we are lucky enough to have this brief preview to tide us over. The preview involves a few words from Ridley and some very quick peeks at the trailer that will be released later this week.

You can see the Prometheus preview by heading below now.

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.

Prometheus, the spiritual prequel to the 1979 sci-fi/horror classic Alien that marks the return of its director Ridley Scott to the genre that launched his career, won’t be released until next summer and no trailers or footage have been seen by the general public as of yet, with the exception of a sizzle reel shown at the film’s panel at San Diego Comic-Con back in July.

Little is also known of the exact plot of the film and the connection it shares with Alien, but recently Scott sat down with Barbara Chai at the Wall Street Journal’s Speakeasy blog and shared some small but tantalizing bits of information regarding just what the hell Prometheus is all about.
