CHICAGO – In a week that packed trailers for some of next year’s biggest films, 20th Century Fox made sure to get in on the game. The first trailer for Ridley Scott’s “Prometheus” has released giving the first looks at the new sci-fi/thriller film. And let’s just say if 2012 is really the last year of existence, we will be going out with some awesome looking movies.

After “The Dark Knight Rises” and “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” had highly watched trailers released earlier this week, Ridley Scott’s Alien prequel (that’s not a prequel (that is a prequel)) looks to be another exciting release for the summer of 2012. Starring Noomi Rapace, Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender, Patrick Wilson, Idris Elba, and Guy Pearce, the trailer explains that “They went looking for the beginning, what they found could be our end.”

In true teaser trailer form, the preview doesn’t tell us a lot about the plot, but gives us plenty to look at and be excited for. If you haven’t had the chance to check out the trailer yet, be sure to do it right here:
