Alien prequel movie dead - Gives birth to something else

The Alien Prequel we've all heard so much about is now gone. /Film is reporting that although the Alien movie is gone, something has resulted from the storyline. Something better. It's called Prometheus, and the script is being adjusted by famed script writer Damon Lindelof.

I, like the /Film article, like the idea. With all the prequels and sequels and reboots and reimaginings out there, it's good to see something that's original get promoted. If Inception taught us anything, it's that original ideas can work, given enough talent.

So, this Prometheus already has a famous, or soon to be famous actress attached to the film in Girl with a Dragon Tattoo's Noomi Rapace. The film also reportedly is in talks with Charlize Theron and Angelina Jolie. With some talent like this lined up, I'll be extremely interested in this project.
