Ridley Scott's "Prometheus" is not a direct prequel to "Alien," but it does take place in the same universe as the 1979 classic helmed by Mr. Scott. The new film follows a group of explorers, including Michael Fassbender as the android David, who set out in space to find the "engineers" that created humanity.
