The first trailer to Ridley Scott’s pseudo-Alien prequel Prometheus has arrived, and it looks more prequel-y than the filmmakers let on. I guess it’s supposed to be something of an original story, but we get the feeling that this is going to be considered as a straight-up addition to the Alien franchise.
From the official synopsis:
A team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race.
Watch the trailer after the break.

“Have you ever made love on an alien’s back before?” he asks.
“Once, when I was in college” she replies. “But it might have just been an ALF stuffed doll.”
