On set sneaks have been snapping more photos and shipping ‘em off to our friends at AVP Galaxy. Clicking the link you’ll find a pair of new behind-the-scenes pics from Ridley Scott’s Prometheus, one featuring what appears to be a new form of “eggs”, while the other a H.R. Giger-styled hallway of sorts. Geek-boner.

“Visionary filmmaker Ridley Scott returns to the genre he helped define, creating an original science fiction epic set in the most dangerous corners of the universe. The film takes a team of scientists and explorers on a thrilling journey that will test their physical and mental limits and strand them on a distant world, where they will discover the answers to our most profound questions and to life’s ultimate mystery.”

The Alien prequel arrives in theaters June 8, 2012.

Just yesterday (it feels like days ago) Twentieth Century Fox unveiled this first image from Ridley Scott’s Prometheus, his planned PG-13 prequel to his 1979 Alien that was conceptualized and penned by “Lost” writer Damon Lindelof. Doing a little hunting, Bloody Disgusting was able to track down a second pic from the horror prequel arriving in theaters June 8, 2012. It looks like a photo from the early portion of the film where the military makes a “mankind-changing” discovery (we were created by aliens?!) It is not an official still, but a set pic.

Some disturbing news out of the ongoing Fox panel in Hall H of the San Diego Comic-Con. Director Ridley Scott shot a video introduction from the set of Prometheus, the still unconfirmed Alien prequel starring Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba, Sean Harris, Guy Pearce, Kate Dickie, Rafe Spall, Logan Marshall-Green, Benedict Wong, Emun Elliott and Ben Foster.

The biggest disappointment out of the panel is that the film is apparently PG-13 but Scott hinted they are covering their asses with more extreme material and do what’s right for the film in the end. He says it is not hindering the movie and that he wants “to scare the shit out of you.” As for the Alien connection, this is all he had to share: “It has the DNA of the original ‘Alien’ that’s it. Everything else is completely original.”

The thousands of fans were then treated to the first ever footage, as described by Andrew Kasch beyond the break.

The mystery surrounding Ridley Scott’s Prometheus appears to finally be over — and it didn’t take six seasons and a despicable series finale to find out.

Screenwriter Damon Lindelof, the demon behind “Lost”, openly spoke to Kevin Pollak’s Chat Show about how he approached Scott’s presumed prequel to Alien. As much as my skin crawls when I hear his name, he makes some really strong points; the boys over at /Film were kind enough to transcribe the good stuff.

The 3-D sci-fi horror venture, starring Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba, Sean Harris, Guy Pearce, Kate Dickie, Rafe Spall, Logan Marshall-Green, Benedict Wong and Emun Elliott, takes launch on June 8, 2012 from 20th Century Fox.

In a question and answer session ove rat Moviehole, editor-in-chief Clint Morris revealed that’s he’s been privy to a of behind-the-scenes chatter for Twentieth Century Fox’s Prometheus, the rumored prequel to Ridley Scott’s Alien that’s now filming for release in 2012.

During his rant, he drops the bomb that a sequel to the original quadrilogy is planned:

“…the “Alien” series will continue – in another form. I don’t know much, but I’ve heard whispers that sequels (to the original quadrilogy – Ripley’s story) might be back on the cards; the whole `Alien Planet’ idea is still very much something everyone over at Fox and Scott Free are interested in. You ain’t see[n] the last of Facehugger.”

He also goes into depth about what’s he’s heard about Prometheus, including that if the studio likes the film, they could possibly retitle it to Alien: Prometheus. Click the link above for the full response.

The boys over at CHUD just landed a monster scoop as they’re reporting multiple sources confired that Guy Pearce – Memento, The Hurt Locker, The Road, Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark and many, many more insane films – will be starring in Ridley Scott’s now filming Prometheus, the presumed prequel to his classic 1979 Alien.

Unfortunately there are no details on his character, but I’d expect some sort of official announcement as early as next week (assuming it’s true).

He joins Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba, Sean Harris, Kate Dickie, Rafe Spall, Logan Marshall-Green, Benedict Wong, and Emun Elliott in 20th Century Fox’s 3-D sci-fi horror aiming for release June 8, 2012.

Moon (NY/LA)

Astronaut Sam Bell has a quintessentially personal encounter while stranded on the moon for a three-year period.

Sam Bell is nearing the end of his contract with Lunar. He’s been a faithful employee for 3 long years. His home has been Selene, a moon base where he has spent his days alone, mining Helium 3. The precious gas holds the key to reversing the Earth’s energy crisis.

Isolated, determined and steadfast, Sam has followed the rulebook obediently and his time on the moon has been enlightening, but uneventful. The solitude has given him time to reflect on the mistakes of his past and work on his raging temper. He does his job mechanically, and spends most of his available time dreaming of his imminent return to Earth, to his wife, young daughter and an early retirement.

But 2 weeks shy of his departure from Selene, Sam starts seeing things, hearing things and feeling strange. And when a routine extraction goes horribly wrong, he discovers that Lunar have their own plans for replacing him… and the new recruit is eerily familiar.

Before he can return to Earth, Sam has to confront himself and the discovery that the life he has created, may not be his own. It’s more than his contract that is set to expire.
