Our man at Comic-Con was on his email soon after sitting in on the Prometheus panel a couple of weeks ago to tell us about the epic footage Ridley Scott screened for the collected geekery. You can read his take and see the video from the floor here, and it sounds very impressive indeed.
Given the tight security here in the UK on the set of the film it seems fairly understandable that the footage screened didn’t make it online, as is the way with almost everything these days, within a few hours of it playing to the Comic-Con crowds. Days passed and no bootleg video surfaced and fans went back to pour over the scant info and single image Fox had made available. That changes now, as there clearly was someone recording the footage as it played and several still images have surfaced online.
Let me be clear – if you’re looking forward to seeing this film (and who isn’t?) but have a modicum of patience you would do well to wait until a shiny HD version of the teaser trailer is officially released by Fox as enticing as these new peeks into the Alienverse are they beg to move and to be seen clearly. I wanted to post these because I know some of you can’t wait for a further glimpse of Ridley’s Scott return to science fiction.
Here are the images, which came to us from Dread Central (via AICN)

These images and more have been collected from the source and uploaded as a video showing off four at a time in this video below. There are clearer images of the cast including Michael Fassbender’s ‘blonde rent boy’, Idris Elba and Charlize Theron.
