For starters, I was actually surprised that this movie didn't have it's own thread here, surely there must be someone else as excited as me?
Anyhow,
Prometheus is the new upcoming SciFi-movie by Ridley Scott, and it will be set in the same universe as the Alien-movies.
Loads have been speculated about if it is a prequel, a sidemovie or what kind of connections it will have, there aren't much revealed, but the latest news are that the last ~5-10 minutes of the movie will have connections to Alien.
Personally the main thing that got me interested in the movie was the Alien-connection since I love those movies, but even if it turns out to be 95% a standalone movie, I'm still very excited because I think Ridley Scott is great, and can capture the sort of dark, creeping horror.
The majority of the cast is pretty much done as well, we'll see the new Swedish "star" (by that I mean someone who has been unknown outside of Sweden until fairly recently
)
Noomi Rapace, we'll also see
Michael Fassbender (who I really like),
Charlize Theron, Guy Peace (a personal favorite),
Idris Elba and
Logan Marshall-Green to name a few.

The trailer isn't too far into the future, and there's a lot of talk about the trailer being available in the next 2-3 weeks or so, the movie itself is set for a release in June, 2012.
Some pictures has already been revealed, you can see find them here and there, but here's one link:
