When you consider all of the movies being released in 2012 there are a handful everyone is most excited about seeing. The Avengers, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, The Dark Knight Rises, The Amazing Spiderman, The Great Gatsby (in 3D!), and Brave all make the list. Here at FilmFracture there is one that is at the top of the list, and is the number one on my own personal list, Prometheus. Directed by Ridley Scott, the man behind two of the greatest and most influential science fiction films ever made, Alien and Bladerunner, Prometheus marks his return to a science fiction world–and as rumor has it a return to the world of Alien prior to Ripley’s time battling space-age monsters who use humans as their incubators.

Any, and practically all, information about Prometheus has been kept secret. A teaser trailer for the film has been released and a handful of photos but the details of the actual story remain a mystery. Director Ridley Scott will be participating in a Q&A this afternoon to talk about Prometheus, and premiere the full-length trailer. The film does not get released until June and as the anticipation grows those who are highly anticipating Prometheus want as much information as possible about the film, without ruining the film in the process. Had audiences known an alien was going to pop-out of a man’s stomach in Alien the film would not have had the same effect. Ridley Scott can keep his secrets surrounding Prometheus, just as long as the film turns out to be an epic science fiction thriller that we all know he still has left in him to create.
