i09 has just posted up an incredibly detailed and juicy description of the Prometheus footage shown at SDCC:
“And then the actual footage from the film starts, and its a huge flood of creeptastic imagery that recalls Alien but also a bit of 2001: A Space Odyssey. There are guys in pressure suits exploring an ancient chamber with weird hieroglyphs, and a guy in a spacesuit walking through a sliding door into a clean white chamber. And a guy (who might be Michael Fassbender) pulling a weird jelly-looking thing out of a canister. And as Ridley Scott’s voiceover notes that things that may look small in the film will turn out to be important, there is a shot of a drop of blood on a finger. There is Charlize Theron on a table with bandages wrapped around her breasts, as though she’s waking from hypersleep.”
Be sure to make sure you read the entire thing. This is easily the most exciting report I’ve seen so far. Thanks to Ikarop for the news.

Are f-words considered to be PG-13? Because there's a lot of those in all the Alien movies.
Many movies, if they were rated now instead of now, would lose a rating level (like R becoming PG13). Times change and sensitivities too. A movie's rating is should not be a discouraging factor. Its like saying, if its not for adults, its not good. Just look at current shows on cartoon network, even if you are not a child, you may find the shows entertaining and funny. The same should go for pg-13 movies.
PG 13 just means they're not using as much language as a rated R film. Many people have said that if you take away a lot of the curisng and gore in ALien, you'd be left with a PG-13 film.
When they all get mad.
I bet this and what we are gonna see is gonna put chills to us,
just cant f**kin wait.
And that is a rather discouraging thought.
I apologize for my use of swear words in this post.
First post here so hi.
Something that has always interested me about Alien (and Aliens to a lesser extent) is that it's pretty obvious that this is not humankinds first contact with an extraterrestrial lifeform, which would obvioulsy be the most important and significant event in the history of man.
For a while I'd been wondering if Prometheus would detail this 'first contact' and how it would be tied into the Alien universe. Scotts remarks yesterday again make me wonder, but going by the chronology of the film (ie, he says the unanswered question will be at the end of the film) it doesn't really seem to fit.
It's what the eggs were referred to in the original draft of Starbeast.
I'm really excited.
If someone was lucky enough to take a snapshot of the footage, someone else was bound to have recorded it as well
COME ON!

I think you can see the jars in question in the leaked photos. they look like eggs arranged in piles.
In the ()Dan o'Bannon script, the crew of the Nostromo mistake the alien eggs for urns. I got the same vibe also.

Wasn't there something in the original Alien script about jars or urns? Or maybe in one of the old Giger paintings? That they contained facehuggers or something?

Spoiler
well it's a big mouth...
wonder what the whole bandage wrapping stuff is is about, and if it' coming off...
Took the words right outta my goddamn mouth.
f**k. Yes.
This however, made me laugh:
Also the whole thing discussed a while back of the alien civilisation laying eggs after standard procreation and needing a host to take in the eggs "spore" may be closer to the truth than we thought
A basic amorphous creature that comes from the egg and allows the chestburster to take elements from its host, slowly making it like the xeno we all know?
