Twentieth Century Fox has released the first official trailer to Ridley Scott’s Prometheus, a stand-alone sci-fi actioner that will reveal origins to Scott’s 1979 classic frightener Alien. Co-written by Damon Lindelof (“LOST”), the film follows a team of scientists and explorers stranded in a distant world where no one will surely hear them scream.

Prometheus stars Charlize Theron (Snow White and the Huntsman), Noomi Rapace (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), Michael Fassbender (X-Men: First Class), Idris Elba (Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance) and Guy Pearce (Lockout). The film, which marks Scott’s return to sci-fi/horror,  arrives in theaters on June 8, 2012.
