After a few official photos, 20th Century Fox is finally starting to kick up marketing for Ridley Scott‘s big sci-fi tentpole Prometheus. A trailer is hitting this month and we have the first official theatrical poster in glorious hi-res, with a tagline reading, “The search for our beginning could lead to our end.” Collider provides the poster, which has a clear connection to Alien in look and feel.
We also get word from AICN that Marc Streitenfeld will be composing the film. It is a safe, predictable choice considering he has provided the score to many other Scott’s films including his most recent, Robin Hood, as well as A Good Year, Body of Lies and American Gangster. He’ll next be heard in The Grey.
Noomi Rapace leads the cast of Prometheus that includes Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba, Logan Marshall-Green, Sean Harris, Guy Pearce, Kate Dickie, Rafe Spall, Benedict Wong, Emun Elliott, Ben Foster and Patrick Wilson. Check out the poster below and click for high-resolution.
Synopsis:
Ridley Scott, director of “Alien” and “Blade Runner,” returns to the genre he helped define. With PROMETHEUS, he creates a groundbreaking mythology, in which a team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a thrilling journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race.
Prometheus hits theaters June 8, 2012.
