New Prometheus Trailer

Ridley Scott’s upcoming sci-fi epic, which stars Charlize Theron and Michael Fassbender, has a new trailer, which features a whole lot of  intrigue and mystery surrounding the plot.

Scott returns to the genre he helped redefine with his classics Blade Runner and Alien, the latter of which has long been rumored to be connected to Prometheus. While the director has publicly said that the only connection between his two films is Guy Pearce appearing as Peter Weyland, eagle-eyed fans keep spotting everything from the Space Jockey to similar-looking space ships in every new trailer or clip.

That is just one of the many mysteries about the film, which sees a team of scientists and explorers who become stranded on a strange and dangerous world. There they will discover answers to some of the great mysteries and questions of life.

The film’s new trailer was shown at the Con to the howls of delight from the audience packed into the Anaheim Convention Center ballroom. Outside of the requisite scary stuff and people running and screaming, more of the movie’s plot was revealed.

Fascinated by the fact that same pictograph has appeared in ancient civilizations and the discovery of an ancient map in a wall cave, the team determines that the map is actually an invitation — but from whom? And how does it tie back to Earth? So begins the fateful journey of the crew of the Prometheus.
