New Prometheus photos

Finally some real info on Ridley Scott’s upcoming Prometheus. Too many rumours, not enough concrete facts. Well, thanks to the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly, we’ve finally got some actual movie stills. Some smart people out there have scanned the photos in question, and it hasn’t taken long for them to start circulating.
 
The first shot shows Charlize Theron and Idris Elba on the bridge of a ship…  
 

The second image shows Michael Fassbender (looking oddly like Ewen McGregor?), Noomi Rapace (I think) and a Tom Hardy look-alike. Presumably stumbling through an alien spaceship towards a grisly end?

One new rumour that has surfaced however is that Prometheus is now not an Alien prequel! And in fact it has no link to the Alien movies whatsoever…Well, according to Theron that is. My guess is she’s just trying to throw us off the scent, especially since Fassbender claims, “There’s definitely a link to Alien. There’s creatures in it that you’ll recognize.” Who’s telling the truth?
 
Prometheus is due for release in the UK on the 1st June 2012, and the 8th June in the US. No dates yet for Australia.
