What we know up to know...

Was looking at the official information and wondered what can we be fairly sure of up to now: " The search for our beginning could lead to our end". -Poster "Ridley Scott, director of “Alien” and “Blade Runner,” returns to the genre he helped define. With PROMETHEUS, he creates a groundbreaking mythology, in which a team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a thrilling journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race." - Facebook Page Things we have good reason to suppose: 1.) Corporations have won the power struggle battle in the future (Weyland advertising its assets in the machinery as well influential enough to send a "suit" on the mission). This goes in line with Aliens and the rest of the other movies. The mission is most probably privately funded and not a product of any government per se. There must be some perceived eventual economic prize (technological, etc.) to that company for it to invest on such an endeavor; at whatever cost to itself and humanity most probably. This, am sure will be a source of conflict on this one. 2.)There is an archeologist/scientist aboard (Noomi), so it appears at least there will be a mythology surrounding our own archeological interests. It also sounds like it will be 2001-ish. 3.) There will be a battle. Against whom? We'll have to see. 4.) It certainly has Alien DNA (previews and official statements from Ridley) 5.) It will be intense.
