I09 has published an extensive description of the Prometheus footage that was screened at WonderCon moments ago. You can read the full thing here.
“The trailer begins with a shot of waterfalls on an alien world, while Charlize Theron’s corporate character Meredith Vickers observes in voiceover: “A king has his reign. And then he dies. It’s inevitable.” The starship Prometheus lands on the planet as its crew emerges from Alien-style cryogenic sleep. The crew includes archaeologists who are there to examine a number of ancient alien civilizations discovered throughout the planet.”
Be sure to check the forums to read several blogs from the event. Also stay tuned for the live AMC Theatres panel which will be happening in one hour.

Had a blast at the Con today. Got the lenticular PROMETHEUS poster and a handful of Weyland Industries business cards. Also, got to meet the great Lance Henriksen, who went outside for a smoke and gathered a small crowd of fans. He was nice enough to sign for everyone and pose for pictures.
i sense this alien feeling, i dont think it lacks. i mean one thing is the rythm of a trailer edited by who knows, and the actual R. Scott. I hope and expect long shots, and this will help to notice this feeling.
for the sayings.. yes very infantile..
so, for the trailer, i dont know if this guy is at begining of time, or maybe one of the mutated guys, it can seen his head is mutating in strange form. he has the marshall silouethe?
"WHOEVER SAYS it has alien feeling is f**ktard lol"
"PROMETHEUS? are you saying this? this thing is moving, it was wrong, take us home? BULLSHIT!"

It's okay. Judging from the trailer, his looks take a dive somewhere before the 3rd act.

With each passing day, my patience wears ever thinner while my anticipation grows...
God I hope I LOVE this film! Make me feel the magic of going to the movies again!!!
Took a quick snap of it...
Spoiler
A lot of scenes still don't add up. The entire pre-space setting doesn't appear in this script at all. The script says Shaw and Holloway were sent by Weyland after they found the ruins on an alien planet, but this trailer confirms that instead the coordinates for the planet were on Earth all along and that Weyland is behind this expedition because there might be hints to actual advanced extraterrestrial life there. Not to mention Guy Pearce doesn't even appear in the script. It's FAKE
WHERE?!?!?!?!?!?!
god this is turning out to be so much more than I expected ..........
Yes but that was their (Fassbender & Theron's) panel, I'm talking about the later one with Scott & Lindelof, where she also makes an appearance. Someone already confirmed to me she was there, I just wanna know if she really said it.
Yay! it started!!!
I've no idea if this is true or not, looking for some confirmation, but according to someone (who's name is unimportant), he or she claims @ http://go.amctheatres.com/prometheus (in the chat room), to have been at the Q&A session when Scott confirms there "may actually be only one robot in Prometheus", and when Theron was later asked a similar question she replied "a robot, am I? Maybe I'm just bad" ....any truth in this???
Panel starts at 11pm
He's referring to the trailer that has just been screened. None of us have seen it except those at this con thing.
I hope you're kidding.
just read the coming soon report. i think they civilisations were on earth but they go to that planet to search for the pictogram or whatevere. and i find this interesting
weird
Also, there's a quick shot in the trailer of a crew member shining a flashlight across a sculpted wall inside the Ampule room that appears to show a stylized carving of a Xeno. I looked out for this when they played it again and my friend and I both swear that's what it was.
The same with the map: they find it on earth in a cave, or on the alien planet? Cause if they find on the alien planet and imediately after all hell breaks loose, i guess they don't have time to go and follow the map, unless they are already planning the sequel and have the story figured out wich i doubt.
So far i'm thinking that pictogram isn't a invitation but a warning, stay away from that place, and that is why Shaw is so sorry. It is also reminiscent of the alien signal in ALIEN, when they misinterpreted it
Spoiler
Also, the slime sounds like the "DNA" of Alien thrown in. So the proto-xeno is possibly just goo. That maybe turns into the tiny worm and then the bigger worm. Well whatever, I'm not going to get myself down via speculation about what everything in the trailer is. I just want to see it naow naow naow!
It is what I've been hoping for.
Also, the eagle 'ripping at his belly' over and over could be taken in any number of ways.
