The latest trailer for Ridley Scott’s upcoming Alien pseudo-prequel Prometheus (below) reveals some new detail about the secretive project which hits US theaters June 8th. The movie, which has taken over 4 years and $130 million to create, draws heavily from Scott’s original 1979 Alien and its subsequent sequels, but has been re-imagined as a stand-alone film, starring Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo star Naomi Rapice. The Hollywood Reporter has an interview with Scott about his inspiration for Prometheus as well as some new stills from the movie showcasing its cinematic grandiosity and its seamless CGI tech. If you’re not excited for this movie, you obviously haven’t watched nearly enough Ancient Aliens, man.

I’m sure at some point in the last year or so, at least one of your stoner friends or that guy at work who watches Ancient Aliens has told you about the Mayan calendar, and how it predicted the end of the world as we know it on December 22nd of this year. Well, you’ll never guess…it turns out that newly discovered Mayan ruins show that not even the Mayans thought the world was gonna end in 2012:
“It’s very clear that the 2012 date, this end of 13 baktuns, while important, was turning the page,” David Stuart, an expert on Maya hieroglyphs at the University of Texas at Austin, told reporters today. “Baktun 14 was going to be coming, and Baktun 15 and Baktun 16. … The Maya calendar is going to keep going, and keep going for billions, trillions, octillions of years into the future.”
Octillions? Thats a lot of illions, bro. Still, I’ll probably be partying on December 21st. Just in case.
