Before all the talk of Ridley Scott returning to the world of Blade Runner for a sequelprequelrebootremakewhoknows a far greater prospect was already being worked on in deepest, darkest Pinewood as Scott was formulating his return to the cinematic landscape of a film which made his name: his Alienverse movie Prometheus.
Reports from Comic-Con of the screening of footage from the film were almost universally positive and while we’ve heard rumblings that a trailer is imminent we only have a vague plot synopsis and a handful of images this far. In some ways I’d prefer it if we could all enter the cinemas in June next year knowing nothing about it at all – and that’s clearly an option open to everyone and we each make our choice, but I have the feeling that this one will be better enjoyed that way. Oh well – having said all that here’s what looks like being the first poster for the film!
Alien Prequel News were sent this by someone who is either a well-placed fan or a talented artist looking to see how far his creation flies around the world, and they are claiming the exclusive look at the first poster. They have been very solid in the past and there’s nothing to say it isn’t the official poster and the tagline (which is ‘The search for our beginning could lead to our end’) smacks of being the perfect marketing tease for the film given the synopsis we’ve seen. I’m hoping this may force Fox to bring forward to release of the poster/trailer combo which is rumoured to be just around the corner.
Here’s the poster, which can be clicked to made clearer, though be warned – it’s not that much clearer…
