Shooting is finally underway on Ridley Scott's Prometheus, the rumored Alien prequel that reintroduces the Space Jockey and original Alien DNA.

Website Alien Prequel News reports that both Benedict Wong (Sunshine) and Emun Elliott (Black Death) have both been added to the growing cast in the sci-fi horror filming lensing in England.

They join the previously announced Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba, Sean Harris, Kate Dickie, Rafe Spall, and Logan Marshall-Green.

It's kind of baffling that nobody can really pinpoint exactly what Prometheus is yet. Whether it's a prequel, stand-alone film or something in the same universe but not directly related doesn't really matter anymore though, because a worker at Pinewood Studios has reportedly spotted a few Aliens hanging around the set.

According to the insider, he "can confirm seeing 3 aliens having lunch. Not the whole costume but blueish costumes and the unmistakable heads hanging around their shoulders. The alien heads were the same shape but no markings, only a plane bronze colour. As for the suits black boots and shoulder pads the rest was a Chelsea blue body suit could be for SFX, all the sets around the back of the bond stage have huge green chromokey maybe that's a clue.I have witnessed foam cut outs of unmistakable aliens all cut in half lengh ways so they could be in the floor walls etc and very much from the original film."

The spy also spotted a "a very, very long tunnel that leads to an enormous structure at the back of the stage which is the same height as the stage and probably extends out another 200 ft.", which he speculates is where the Space Jockey scenes will be shot.

Fox is planning on releasing in 3-D on June 8, 2012.
