A new promotional photograph for Ridley Scott's Prometheus has been released.
The image shows Noomi Rapace's character Elizabeth Shaw with what appear to be Space Jockey suits lurking over her shoulder.
Speaking of the film, writer Damon Lindelof told the Los Angeles Times: "The movie is definitely epic in its scope. One of the filmmakers that we ended up talking about to a fair degree of redundancy was David Lean, who directed Lawrence of Arabia.
"We wanted to make the movie feel big by having the characters be small in big spaces. That connected to the larger themes we were talking about - that we're all just these little gnats crawling around on our little planet."
Prometheus, which follows a team of scientists and explorers who find themselves stranded on a distant planet, is Scott's first science fiction offering since 1982's Blade Runner.
The movie also stars Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender and Idris Elba and was originally conceived as a prequel to Scott's 1979 classic Alien.
