Not quite the trailer, but 20th Century Fox have just released a first look video of Prometheus on Apple. It’s basically a 30 second behind-the-scenes teaser. Ridley Scott says the film will be ‘epic’. Not just in terms of sets but also the ideas the film introduces. The video shows some shots with Ridley directing on set as well as some new shots from the movie. According to the video, the trailer will be online Thursday.
You can find over 40 shots from the video in the Gallery. Thanks to Darkoo for the news.
Update: Seems there’s another first look video with completely different footage: 480p | 720p | 1080p. I think this one was intended to go live tomorrow so we may have another promo on Wednesday too. The highlights include someone looking at a massive holographic solar system, the Ampule room and something crashing onto a planet.
this guy is looking really strange.
mutant?
or maybe another android going crazy?

2 trailers for trailer is quite enough....;-)
Here y'go, dude. I noticed the same thing.

I dig the David idea becoming an Engineer himself.
But again for the Nth time, the ship in Prometheus is not the Derelict.

I clearly see to what you are refering to.
Some sort of tubes stored in the wall of thge medical bay.
Sorry i have only the BLURAY discs and my PS3 as player can't make captures.
It looks like the guy is infected with some disease...
Check the new leaked trailer. Same scene, but much better video quality. It's in the other thread.
I'm not the only one who recognized him.
And the guy is clearly mutated, jumping all around like a kangaroo ^^
Check the trailer online shot by cam thread
and you are recognizing him on this tiny gif?

it could be fassbender, protecting a space jockey, or a specimen, don't know.
or maybe a guy in a jetpack. or the paper-boy delivering his newspaper in outer-space...
anyway, i can't see any deformation on this tiny pixel you call a person, nor a face, nor hair... nothing but jeopardy.
It's not the same ship. Derelict in Alien is landed/crashed at different angle like this one.

But mostly coz Lindelof said so
http://www.screenjunkies.com/movies/movie-news/comic-con-2011-exclusive-damon-lindelof-talks-prometheus-makes-peace-with-lost-fans/
I doubt the movie would feature 2 ship of the same class crashing on different planets ^^
This is not the Derelict or it's pilot story.
But we are many to think that the Derelict story will be adressed indirectly.
Scott said and stick to the idea that the Derelict is a bioweapon transporter en route to war/colonisation.
We tought that at some point we will see some Engineers history (the murals giger did maybe) and we will realise that the derelict was one of many ship that took part in past wars/ colonisation campaigns.
why do assume this? in the trailer yo see a derelict like ship crashing onto a planet, you see a jockey chair, why do you assume that it is not the same jockey and ship?
Look to the right of Fassbender, at the pink coloured objects behind him. They're the same design as seen in the science lab onboard the Nostromo.
Could somebody take a screengrab from Alien to show what I'm referring to? The objects are visible during the panning shot at the start of chapter 12 (theatrical cut). Thanks.
Tecnically speaking it's not, no characters from ALIEN is here (the dead SJ is NOT in PROMETHEUS, nor the Derelict, we get members of the same race and a same class ship) and the event will not lead to the Nostromo nor the Derelict crash.
Now save from the people who know ALIEN and who are fans, the average audience do not see the hint to ALIEN.
The way the tittle appears, the music etc....
WE do! It's a gift to the fans who will spread the word that the movie is actually related to ALIEN.
Scott don't want to redo ALIEN neither use the original xenos.
The trailer is very ALIEN like storywise, a ship land on an alien planet, they explore, stumble on some shit, monsters are on the loose... It's just a trick to make us fan root for it (and usually it's to serve the same stuff again and again as hollywood usually do) we will feel in familiar ground then he will rip the rug from under our feets and take us somewhere else..
Also from a marketing point of view they dont want to call it ALIEN because the franchise is dead in the water and also Alien = AVP in the mind of the average movie goer and the new generation that Fox wants to bring in the theatres.
He's a crew member that get infected, mutated.
You can see him jumping on the flamethrower dude with his suit on.
My take is that he's either one of the many f**ks up that the ampules/vials causes or tranforming himself into an Engineer.
You can get a free converter that can convert to AVI, that's what i use, convert to AVI and then put on a mem stick into my PS3, bam!
http://www.redkawa.com/videoconverters/ps3video9/
can take quite a while to convert though if you want everything to stay very high quality, but it's worth it.
but he's seems to wear the same uniform as the crew use to wear.
But f**ked from a fight or burn with the humans but he is portraited in the movie much larger.
This screenshot was taken from the official apple movie trailer version of "In three days" in 1080p:

I want the trailer in crystal clear 1080p.
BTW: I there an easy way to download apple trailers to disc, without buying the quicktime player PRO? I downloaded the quicktime player only because of the Prometheus trailer. It has no fullscreen mode !?
Logic. Reason.
I think the urns contain specimans of species from many other worlds...
Mutation? Zombies? Hey, this is Ridley Scott, not George Romero...
Or just something which used to have two eyes.
It's a jockey's head =D love the trailer. Also seeing the jockey chair rising from the ground is awesome.
I agree
I'm totally bored of unscary mutation movies and anything featuring zombies
Neither scary nor interesting, just look at the totally ridiculous and laughable CGI creatures in 'The Thing Prequel' - that movie was an out and out comedy in some places, almost purely due to the hilariously bad effects and ludicrous looking 'multi-mutating monster'
I agree that I could be ok with the 'infection' idea if its done well, but please no overblown, unbelievable looking, CGI-heavy 'transformations'
...or statue of Space Jockey's head.
dude, you can clearly see the Jockey-Chair and the Derelict in the trailer, it IS a prequel to Alien no matter what anyone says.
And this is the biggest gamble of all...
Even if Giger, himself, were to design it, there's no guarantee it would be better. If you compared the original creature to how he wanted to change it for 'Alien 3', I've never seen anyone say they would have preferred it. Conversely, his design for Sil, in 'Species', was stunning. A creature which, if portrayed differently, could've easily fitted right into the Alien's continuity (and was constructed with certain key technologies Giger wanted to have included with the Alien, but couldn't, such as the translucent exoskeleton). Truly, there's no telling what he'd come up with.
Same thing applies to Scott... For all we know, he's determined to go down the route of 'humans are the biggest monsters of all', which I've always regarded as an incredibly anti-climactic cop-out when employed for films. Unlikely, yes, but we've already got that giant human head shown in the alien ship, which is slightly worrying. I mean, I think he's superbly talented, but have yet to see a film of his I've really enjoyed since 'Gladiator'.
If a new cosmic horror (or several) is being revealed in this film, it's going to be a huge risk. If they succeed, it could be brilliant. But if they don't, it could be the biggest anti-climax in cinematic horror history!
After all, who could've guessed that, with a Hollywood budget behind it, a fully realised Predalien was going to end up looking a lot worse than either creature it was meant to combine the best traits of? Yet, we all remember our disappointment at seeing those first pictures of the same - and seeing it in action only made it look far worse.
Doesn't matter, really. It's spooky for those who aren't and is creating a hype-generating buzz amongst those who are.
It's a win/win situation for the studio.
Are mainstream audiences familiar with the haunted siren or the title for ALIEN?
i agree it will be a creature feature but not as much as alien, i think this will have a much deeper story with morality and consequence being far more prominent than just survival.
thanks
rich
This IS a creature feature, bank on it.
Phantom, you 'seem' to be saying
'because I can't imagine anything more scarier then Giger's alien it doesn't make sense that it wouldn't be in the film, despite what Ridley says?'
So, correct me if I'm wrong, you further believe that even if the story is awesome, the acting, dialogue, etc....it won't matter without an original alien in it? Are you reading what you write? Honestly?
I've been scared to death by a few films that didn't have any aliens in it. By your logic, that shouldn't be possible because they only way I can get scared is if an alien is in it?
thanks
rich
That's if the new creature tops the xeno, which is a big if.
No worries, mate...it is all good. Besides, you had the right answer.
its almost impossible for them to please the fans because if you stay too close to the original then you get derided by fans for not doing something new. predators being a prime example.. but then you also get derided by fans when you try to do something new, predator 2 is my prime example as fans werent happy without arnie....
alien 3 and alien resurrection suffered from this in a big way because the directors/writers were forced to shoehorn ripley in to keep the fans happy which then caused big problems with story and continuity, egg on sulaco being prime example yet im sure fans would have moaned like hell if ripley wasnt there as they did when arnie wasnt in predator 2.
for me personally i prefer the big change not only does it give them more scope and leeway with story but it becomes extremely implausible for one character to keep on bumping into whatever the antagonist creature is be it ripley v xeno or arnie v pred, thats why i dont get the fans that still call for more ripley movies or arnie pred movies.
so same goes for the xeno, ill be happy to see some form of early xeno, maybe another creature that evolves into it but i would be just as happy for no xeno at all and have a space jockey story as that creature is just as interesting and hasnty been done to death.
thanks
rich
Scott said no xenos will be there, the shape is worn out in his opinion (like other i just think it needs to be done properly in the hand of a good director thats all), he's been there he's done that, he's not interested to do it again.
So he's going to get new creatures and he seems pretty confident that they will scare us and top the xenos.
Me i'm all in to see new scary freaky stuff.
Thats all.
My problem with it, is that the fans seem so sure that the film it going to do just fine without it, stop following the sheep for a moment and really listen to what you're really saying dude. I have a feeling this will fall under the classic case of... you don't know what you have until it's all gone, meaning when it finally hits you not a single xenomorph will be in this film and it's GONE, that reality will put a smile on your face?
I believe the reason why the fans are somehow, someway, mindbogglingly, subconsciously are ok with the Alien being left out is because of what they saw in AVP and AVP-R. The fact of the matter is the classic xenomorph still has the magic touch to make you shit a brick on the big screen. You mean to tell me with a big budget like this, Giger and Ridley working together resurrecting the classic dome headed alien once again you wouldn't want to see that? As far as I'm concerned I haven't seen a decent scary xenomorph since Alien 3, so when you do the math we haven't seen a true xenomorph in 20 years.
You say you want to be scared shitless, and what I'm saying is creatures like the Alien and Predator rule this town of movie monsters, so the only way you'll be truely scared is if Ridley managed to create a new creature that will literally wipe the floor of the legendary classic Giger Alien...
because if it doesn't, a good story, and good visuals go but so far. What made Alien scary as hell was because of the beast, the problem is the beast was so perfect and flawless how the hell are you going to dethrone it in Prometheus?
Just my opinion, hope I'm wrong. Guess we'll find out next year.
I can also see how the head looks deformed, but the shot angle can also account for that.
I was able to watch it.
It's great.
