And the great debate continues pertaining to Prometheus. Is it a prequel to Alien? Is it something else entirely? Let’s play along, shall we? Come on, kids! The carousel is ready and spinning!

Hot on the heels of yesterday’s new imagery from Entertainment Weekly (see below), some interesting new quotes have appeared on their website.

“There’s definitely a link to Alien,” claims star Michael Fassbender before adding, “There’s creatures in it that you’ll recognize.”

But wait! That’s not all!

Actress Charlize Theron adds … , “I think people should really let go of the idea that it’s an Alien film.”

Sigh. What do YOU think?

Prometheus stars Noomi Rapace, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba, Patrick Wilson, Logan Marshall-Green, Ben Foster, and Michael Fassbender.

Click on the images below for a better look! Prometheus will be in theaters on June 8th, 2012.
