The first trailer for Ridley Scott's (Blade Runner, Gladiator) pre-Alien sci-fi Prometheus hits iTunes on Thurday. So, the half-minute advanced look is a preview to a preview. Still, when it's a masterful sci-fi director working with classic material, who can wait?

Can't wait! Alien is one of my favorite sci-fi films of all time. =)

Good to see the Alien gang out for one more flick. Just wish Dan O'Bannon was still around to supply the screenplay. I sort of don't think we need a prequel to the original, but as long as the Space Jockey isn't someone's father, then I'll tenuously try and support this.

I don't think it's a prequel to the whole series of Alien. It takes place in the same World/Universe this is true, but from what I gathered we might be seeing some entirely new creatures. Our favorite Alien may make a cameo, but the story isn't centered around them, instead it has it's own story and problems.

I hope what you "gathered" is correct. There were definitely other things left unexplored from the original 'Alien' movie. The huge unquestioned one to me is what kind of creature was the "pilot" of the ship whose distress beacon the Nostromo responded to in that movie. Even accounting for the exit of a chest-burster, what was left in that seat wasn't human. An answer to that would be nice.

Still, any good alien horror story in that Universe withe the "Xenomorphs" being tangential at best would be welcome.

It was meant to be a prequel to the Aliens but they decided to deviate a little bit. But keep a little bit towards the xenomorphs charachteristics.
