Io9’s Prometheus Trailer Description [Updated]

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.

    I liked Lindelof's answer. Whiskey, vanilla, freshly mown grass and childhood pain.

    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.

    somehow i feel more pg-13 orientated than the Imax teaser. Marshall Green is one of the causes. So dont know. Cvalda u know if they ask about the rating?

    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?

    Everything about the trailer I liked, more or less--except Logan Marshall Green. He's so wildly out of place and so nauseatingly pretty it's absurd. And the clips of him and Shaw look so... Young Detectives Duo in the Case of the Von Daniken Riddle.

    Quote from: El Diablo on Mar 17, 2012, 10:35:28 PMthere'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've been through all the trailers released and leaked so far frame by frame and cannot see this scene anywhere. Can you post a screenshot of the scene in question please?

    Took a quick snap of it...

    Spewing the leaked script is legit.its all coming together vickers the robot bady, shaw with the mutant baby,holloway rapes shaw,david in the galaxy room the script is the REAL DEAL

    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

    Ok, I've already asked this question in another thread, but maybe it's more appropriate here...

    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???
    Charlize is mainly kidding, on the panel with Michael, she said Promeyjeus is prequel to Thelma and Louise

    Yay! it started!!!

    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.

    It pretty much sounds like the worst trailer ever.  There is too much lingering mystery and not enough epic explosions.  Now waiting for Trailer #3...

    He's referring to the trailer that has just been screened. None of us have seen it except those at this con thing.

    where did you guys see it? i have just been told the q&a is in an hour. god damn it

    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

    Quote2:19
       
       We do see some creatures, but not the xenomorphs. We don't see them clearly, though
    2:19
       
       When the Prometheus crew arrives and awakens them, they begin to change, even becoming metal and forming a ship of their own.
    2:20
       
       They launch, headed to Earth while the crew is left behind on the planet to deal with more of them.

    weird

    The ancient civilizations were found on earth, the same pictograph I believe is meant to imply they had a similar "creator."

    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.
  13. zuzuki
    I am a little confused. They found those civilisations on the alien planet and they all have the same pictogram? Or are they saying that our ancient earth civilisations have the same pictogram?

    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
  14. deepelemblues
    So is that just a typo, or are there multiple (well, more than Space Jockeys and Engineers if the two actually are different) "ancient alien" civilizations discovered on the planet? Shit just gets more confusing the more is revealed.

    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!

    Looking through that, I'd say Prometheus may not just be the name of a ship after all. Not only does it appear we weren't meant to find the Gods, but the fact we did means there may also have been a traitor in their midsts.  The REAL Prometheus perhaps, who we associated with Greek Mythology, but just may be the individual the head also belongs to...!!

    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.

    Sounds great.  Really looking forward to what sounds like an epic trailer.  It looks like the report from so long ago about David lifting his finger and the "Big things have small beginnings" lines was absolutely spot on.
