June 8, 2012 can't come quick enough! 20th Century Fox is now promoting Ridley Scott's “Prometheus” at WonderCon, with plans to release a 2,33-minute trailer there. Until then, it's also released one for those not attending the annual event.

You can see it in full below, embedded at the end of the post.

Even for an “Alien” fan, it's rather hard to keep up with everything going on in this 1-minute clip, but that doesn't make it any less cool or impressive.

Just like previous footage, this too is very scarce on dialog but very generous in huge, visually stunning scenes.

To make matters even more confusing, it also includes shots of characters and events caught in mid-scene – they don't give away much of the plot, but they definitely create the impression of something urgent, big happening.

Check it out.
