The highly anticipated trailer for Ridley Scott’s return to science fiction is here. It provokes fear, fascination, nostalgia and obsessive curiosity. Prometheus evolved from what some fans assumed as a prequel or sequel to Alien. What I see is the best of both worlds. Images that go beyond what we saw in the classic horror film and frightening new images and ideas that will take us far beyond monsters in space.
Every time I’ve seen Alien I’m haunted and creeped out by the closeup of the dead “Space Jockey” and to see his ship moving in the trailer, the thought of seeing him alive is thrilling. It will be endlessly fun and mind swirling to imagine what we will discover in the story in which “They went looking for our beginning. What they found could be our end.”
In a summer of super heroes – Prometheus may be THE movie of 2012.

HOLY. . . . .
Ridley Scott is genius!
