\"\"<\/a>Here\u2019s a second piece of Ridley Scott news today. A new synopsis for his upcoming film Prometheus<\/strong> has appeared on the film\u2019s Facebook<\/a> page and it gives a bit more of a hint at what the super-secret project is about than the last synopsis studio Twentieth Century Fox released.<\/p>\n

Ridley Scott, director of Alien<\/strong> and Blade Runner<\/strong>, returns to the genre he helped define. With Prometheus<\/strong>, 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.<\/p>\n

While a little less vague than what we\u2019ve been told before, it still doesn\u2019t offer much in the way of concrete details. It doesn\u2019t tell us anything about the characters that cast members Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba and Sean Harris may be playing outside of the fact that some of them may be the aforementioned explorers. There\u2019s certainly enough wiggle room in that description to not negate that the film is a straightforward prequel to Scott\u2019s classic Alien<\/strong>, a vast different story that just happens to take place in the Alien franchise universe or something entirely separate that will share, as Scott has stated, \u201cstrands of Alien<\/strong>‘s DNA, so to speak.\u201d<\/p>\n

The synopsis also does jibe with the unofficial, very spoilerish synopsis<\/a> that popped up this past summer.<\/p>\n

I suspect, though, that we will have to wait until we get a bit closer to the film\u2019s June 8th release date before we have any real answers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Another hint at what the mystery film is about.<\/div>\n
