The first picture from Ridley Scott's new movie Prometheus has been released.
Originally conceived as a prequel to his '70s classic Alien, Scott and Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof reworked the idea into an original science fiction story. The Xenomorph creatures from the original Alien saga were reportedly spotted on the Prometheus set in April.
