A new IMAX 3D trailer for Prometheus has just found its way online which includes plenty of new footage. It just over a minute long so we can still expect the full length trailer released later today. As well as that, a new website has also gone live, Project Prometheus.
There doesn’t appear to be anything on there at the moment aside from this hidden page but the Weyland Industries website has updated with a Corporate Timeline. It’s a very extensive timeline offering a lot of backstory for the Prometheus story and the Alien story.
You can download a medium quality copy of the trailer here.
Nah, it's just the Alien static in a loop.
It is a beautiful thing indeed.
at the end, that's a motion tracker pulse if i ever heard one.
Nice! For some reason, that got me incredibly pumped!
That's one of the things that I am hoping happens with his character. I want to see him in confusion and questioning his loyalty and possibly his programming.
I have a feeling there is a human sitting in that chair and the "suit" conformed around him or her. The chair is obviously for a bigger creature/person than whoever is in it.
In fact, whoever is in this chair has pretty scrawny looking arms because there more room in the "Suit" hole than the arm takes up, and it reminds me of a kid putting on an adult's suit or something. Sure, it fits, but its wayyy too big for whoever it was made for.
Also, the neck seems a little small as well..
And hopefully David doesn't have a porno mag handy to roll up.
Perhaps she was unaware Weyland was in his private freezer and shes pissed David didn't say something? Who knows.. could be one of a thousand possible reason lol. NEED THIS MOVIE NOW.
Thanks
[irk] it's definately from a Dub sub-genre, but it's not Dubstep... *grumble* *grumble* - it definately doesn't fit the mood of the movie though, thats for certain. I don't like it in the trailer.
Anyway!
Rewatching it just then I noticed a scene I didn't before: Vickers tossing someone against an interior wall of the Prometheus. Gave to grab that stream and get a screenshot when I can (blast being at work!).
This alleges to be 720, and it does look a bit higher in resolution...
I can't wait for the 1080 of this to be released. Despite the wretched dubstep music and editing, this is easily my favorite trailer of the three new ones. Some really tantalizing shots in it!
I don't think there is on online :\
I asked before and have searched around to no avail.
Does anyone know where I can find a 1080p downloadable version of the IMAX Trailer?
I am with Cvalda on this one...
Ridley never thought he'd be making a prequel while he was making the first alien movie, so he just played around with the jockey size.
Now that he's basing a whole new franchise on that jockey, he is confronted with inconsitency in many ways.
If the size of the jockey is already a problem for you, because it doesn't go with what you know from the alien franchise, then brace yourself... I'm sure this movie will have to walk across some more things that the original series built up.
The astronauts suit may be a far stretch from what we saw in the alien movie, but it still looks like the Frickin jockey so I'm happy.
I asked for something new and Ridley is delivering, so I really can't complain at this point. The only thing that would kill me, is bad CGI and practical effects on the jockey. The one second segment of the seatbelts coming off the jockey really made me cringe since it looked so damn fake...
Spoiler
I agree the size can be tweaked but it's too much IMO. 24+ feet to 12 feet is a massive cut. The arms of the Jockey sculpture where nearly twice as long as an adult human is tall.
Bah, maybe its a baby Jockey. That's not as dumb as it sounds. I'm going with that.
I meant that to humans 12 feet is certainly tall, but not Jockey tall. The guy who supposed plays this 'Jockey' could almost take it on in a fist fight (and lose, terribly). The original Jockey has 12 foot arms!
Anyway, the Jockey doesn't even need to be in the film at all IMO. The Engineers can be something else and be totally awesome. I just hope they are different things.
This has got to be part of the DNA mix of the Alien's distinctive '6 finger' design.
Is this the uber-giant Space Jockey 'hand of God'?!

Also let's clear up this 'beginning of time' buisness. Just because it was called that doesn't mean the shot of the waterfalls and infected arm are literally happening at the beginning of time. Ridley probably meant that metaphorically, as in maybe it's taking place as that world is beginning to be terraformed by the SJ's.
I did feel let down at first, until I realized how stupid it would be for the Space Jockey to actually just be a giant alien, lumbering around. If properly executed, the Jockey mythology in Prometheus could be amazing--however long a shot that is.
Very interested to know where this viral piece is going. Wondering if it is to do with investors, and the "Module B" that is coming soon on the Weyland Industries site.
Is there a 1080p copy of the IMAX trailer floating about that is still available?
If so, we should all feel let down. IMO it's a cynical story arc that will seriously undermine the original film. And giant it ain't. I have an uncle that is nearly as tall. I am amazed at how readily Alien fans will accept such a crap-tastic idea.
I will hold this LINE!
Dont get it either.
It's right in our faces.
WE get it because we know all about this universe, and we think that Ridley would not spoil the beans.
BUT we are not the main target, the average moviegoers is and he has no f**king clue who is that guy, or whats going on. I think you're gonna be in a world of hurt if you start imagining stuff that could make the humanoid Space jokeys ok (like another real space jockey race). The Engineers shown in the archeological artefact are humanoid giant.
Thats it! Now there will be subtle details about them either design wise or life cycle wise that will make them more than just "tall blue bald guys in suits".
This concept serves a purpose, a theme and works way much better than all the show off cgi overdone weird looking intelligent alien creatures i've seen for years.
They will look and interact with humans as real characters not as special effects.
Dunno... It works for me and i like the design.
I'm just thinking of other possible ideas. We don't know anything until the movie comes out. Yeah, I'm sure the big tall guy is the Jockey, but hell why not let our imaginations have some fun.
Not comparable IMO. The new look of the Derelict and the human tech is a design choice, the new 'Jockey' is a contradiction of what the original implied - to me that being a giant alien, suit or no.
I for one do not think we will see an "original" Jockey for instance, but that we might be looking at how the jockey race continues on with their own evolutions. Maybe that is exactly how for hundreds of thousands of years they have kept going, by just taking over another species with some of their own DNA.
Just a thought but I think I am right about Pearce. And even though Pearce said he is only in the movie a minute, I think he might have been referring to the fact you only see him in the movie for a minute like we see him in any movie and that is without makeup and the such, we already know that the tall blue guy/ jockey is being played by the tall stunt guy, probably has little if any dialogue so Pearce essentially wont be in the movie at that point and only as the crew knowing he has become something.... Anthony
Because it is dumb. Really dumb. Scott isn't dumb, and he respects his own source material. Evidence? Full sized chair, half sized 'Jockey'. As I said, dumb.
...Wait. So you think that the humans have the tall blue bald guy with them from the word go?
...No. That's definiately not what's implied. Especially now that we see Shaw looking at the face in AWE, and that face is most definately related to the tall guy.
I'd bet good money the tall man IS The Jockey. He goes into the suit and pilots the ship. He, or one of his kind, is seen at the dawn of time.
My bet is the Jockey unleashes the creatures on the crew when he's disturbed, the crew awaken them when tampering with the suit/corpses, or trigger an automated system when entering the ampule room.
I don't think there's any major twist in terms of the Jockey. I know a lot of folks want to believe we're going to see some Lovecraftian Cthulu Old one thing that comes out of the dark, but I honestly believe the large humanoid who is seen raising the control console, and on board Prometheus in the trailers is The Jockey/Engineer.
As far as Weyland goes, I could see David maybe having such a fascination with what they encounter on behalf of Weyland, and perhaps be compelled to expose some of the crew to it on purpose also by Weyland's command. (Very fitting with what took place with Ash).
I guess my point is don't push so hard for what you expect or want to see. Let the unexpected and the different be okay. A lot of people seem to have already set themselves up to be disappointed, not because what Prometheus is going to do is necessarily bad, but because it's different from what people expected.
You complete star! I didnt realise you were referring to a totally new trailer - cheers for the link!

Prometheus International Trailer -- UK: at time stamp beginning 2:03
No prob...yes, we are talking about different sections/different trailer.
I assumed you meant the bit in the 2:31 full trailler where Noomi is kneeling in prayer?
@1:55 the voice (Janek?) shouts
"Cut it off him...cut it off"
Apologies if you are referring to a different section.
Not sure if you are replying to me, or we are talking about the same thing, but Janek clearly says (in the International Trailer -- UK):
Spoiler
My point exactly,even though i feel like i've seen to much,i'm also pretty sure i haven't if you know what i mean.
They have to show a certain amount to get everyone excited (they did good it seems),but at the same time not show all the good bits.
The funniest thing after all the recent new images is we still don't know shit
