Prometheus

I find that actress very annoying. At least her character on True Blood is anyway. . .

She is probably tied with Summer Glau for actress with the most blatant "don't typecast me" publicity photos.

Could also be fanboy wet dream.
Still interesting.

With the big twist being the original Alien timeline has now been written over with the Blade Runner timeline. TWIST. :S

People keep saying 'prequel' but didn't I read somewhere it was more like a different story that's set in the same fictional universe?

Not directly linked, as such, but sharing some of the common assets.

I guess calling it a prequel makes it easier to talk about the movie and directly imply that it is very much linked to the Alien movies. It shares the space jockey, the derelict spacecraft, the same planet, one half of the same company and you might even get a glimpse of some form of Giger's Alien (it's still not ruled out as far as I could read).
Pretty much like "The Thing (2011)" worked for Carpenter's movie, in "Prometheus" you'll see what happened on that planet years before the crew of the Nostromo landed there. So it is somehwat of a prequel, but I doubt that the movie will directly tie things together with the first Alien movie. So no young Ellen Ripley looking up in the sky and wondering what's there to find.

Christ, this movie better be a hell of a lot better than The Thing prequel bullshit.

Apparently an official trailer is imminent on Thursday. Also, there are two television teasers available already, but they're nothing much, they're more like trailers for the upcoming trailer...go figure!
