As it happens, it coincides with the origin of humanity

If you don't mind being spoiled on “Prometheus,” Ridley Scott's upcoming film, you'll probably be thrilled to know that two brand new videos to promote the film have been released.

You can see them both embedded at the end of this blog post.

“Prometheus” is a sequel of sorts to Scott's “Alien” movie, the cult classic that is at the basis of one of the most successful movie franchises ever.

As such, anticipation for it is literally through the roof.

The first clip below is a featurette that has Scott himself say a few words about the origin of the story, which happens to coincide with the origin of humanity itself, along with commentary from some of the leading members of the cast.

The second video is a brand new TV spot, which luckily includes new footage.

“Prometheus” will be out in theaters in 3D starting June 8 this year.
