We start, from the look of things, with a discovery on the Isle of Skye, in the company of Rapace's archaeologist, Dr Elizabeth Shaw, and a colleague played by Logan Marshall-Green. It's a 35,000-year-old cave painting depicting a faraway solar system, including one habitable planet with a moon. Fast-forward to 2093, and these two awake from hypersleep on a 17-man exploratory space vessel, their mission to probe the secrets of LV-223 -- which buffs will note is not LV-426, the dread-filled planet from Alien and Aliens.
Rapace, Scott confirmed, is the closest thing to a Ripley figure here; Charlize Theron's Meredith Vickers is an employee of the traditionally nefarious Weyland Corporation, charged by her late boss Peter Weyland (Guy Pearce, briefing us in holographic and aged-up form) with ensuring that the search for signs of life goes to plan. Meanwhile, a blond-dyed Michael Fassbender is David, the ship's creepily effete android butler, who calls Theron "Ma'am" and has been quietly watering plants for two and a half years while the rest of his crew-mates switch off....
And also noteworthy is...
He worked on it design-first, persuading Fox to spend some money blueprinting the entire visual scheme of the film before a script was green-lit. It's his first feature in 3D, but he bats away the idea that this posed any particular headaches. "It's not brain surgery. It's actually pretty straightforward."
Exposition over, we were treated to that tantalising trailer montage of everything going gloopy and haywire – unfamiliar egg chambers, things entering people's eyes, screams of "What IS that?" and "Take us HOME!".

If you knew there were aliens, wouldn't you scream "I know what that is!!!!"
