Not jam-packed with new footage, but there's a few bits here and there.
Theres some nice goodies in there
Spoiler
At 1:22 its a different angle of the merc next to Ford shooting at the SJ (Look how high he is aiming.) and someone running away (Shaw?) They also show Ford's head being CGI rendered.
At 1:29, Closer view of 2 Holo SJ's away from david.
At 1:43 You can see there is alteast 8 SJ's Chasing the lead one during the holo sequence.
Interesting that Kate Dickie (Ford) is being 3D-scanned.
Her character must become victim to some unspeakable CGI death. :P
There's actually quite a few goodies there.
There's two more:

omg i died at Charlize's voiceover
hope we get this in hd
Vickers has the best voiceover! Thumbs up! :D
Theron's voiceover = ROFL
so much new footage!! need it in hd and english, or i will die :'(
Collating...
Collating...
..jizzed
OMG - so much stuff. Love the dubbing, and the pompous voice-over at the end.. "PrrrooMetheus!!"
(//)Yeah i really hope we get these in HD.
I know this may be stretching a bit but ive been "solving" the dead arg and one thing we've found is that in different trailers theres an added frame which is blue tinted and looks like a dying video feed.
Spoiler
most images are too blurry but one image from an early trailer is clearly a body laying on a "sand dune". In the shaw video above there is an added frame as well and its new. Same "sand dune" different spot. PLEASE HD VERSION :o Any thoughts?
David you pervert

oooh so the giant head is in the center of the room. i always thought it was against a wall
interesting
strong evidence in first video that Twitter girl is all BS or she just never bothered to watch it properly
Spoiler
"She claimed that whole hologram sequence was told to David via a SJ but there is no alive SJ present anyway in the shot. It just looks as if David accidentlly activated the hologram sequence himself.

hologram of a space jockey in the chair? seems little in it.
and i hate dubbing. such disrespect to the movie and the actors to remove their voices and their interpretations on the characters.
here are mine anyways:

wasn't the first screen in the original comic-con footage ?
I almost died when I heard Shaws voice double :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Cvalda is going to have a field day when listening to LMGs voice in these clips
Naughty David... :D
But yeah, some nice new shots - the engineer holograms start playing right after David activetes the map and you can even see one crouching down next to a cryotube. The hologram with David and the running jockeys happen somewhere else though - we've seen Shaw and Holloway watching them pass by as well.
Shaw is facing what looks like a big white airlock door with dat axe.
One thing is sure, the movie looks absolutely gorgeous.
i havent seen such a beautifully designed and shot scifi movie since years.
That Merc looks like a tough SOB!!!!
The encounter goes as i was thinking.
So Holloway also goes thru the Yutani-QuietEye?
And I am beginning to believe that the wierd graphics in the top right frame are representing musical notes,
they also pop up all over the "career training" videos.

I like how the holograms of the jockeys have wind associated with their movement as they pass through David and blow is rowboat flock of seagulls hair cut.

And the more I see of Charlie Holloway the more I feel he is the rival companies 'plant' ... robot or otherwise. I just feel like Shaw is going to have EVERY aspect of her faith tested in this.
I like the extended shot of the sandstorm knocking a bunch of equipment/vehicles over.
Everyday something new!!

I can't wait for what is coming tomorrow!!

Ah, the good ole' days, when Poppers came in glass phials... David's got his weekly supply and he's off to The Anvil.
Yeah, I would think twitter girl's been well debunked here - we've seen in several recent featurettes that David, Shaw and Holloway all see the holograms rush down that corridor, probably simultaneously.

Have to agree. Finally some semi solid evidence against her other then fanboys with a chip on their shoulders
PROMETHEUSSSSS.
:laugh: Just awesome. Every day, a fix. I'm going to be spending some cash at the cinema this June, I can feel it.
I'm well behind the times here, but I was just curious who the woman is in the first featurette @ 1:36? I think she's just a red shirt crewmember and they're talking about filming the movie in 3D, but I was just curious.
And the merc... how come all movie badasses have to have dat shotgun? oh man, it's too much already.
*squeezes eyes shut and pumps fist*
I think you're referring to Kate Dickie (from the great Red Road) as Ford. One of the team of scientists - I think her specialization may have been mentioned somewhere, but I can't recall it.
She hasn't gotten enough attn in the promotion for me.

Biomechanical, I trust you are being sarcastic. Obviously, I never said it was medicine. I said it looked similar to (LIKE) our medical ampules, which can obviously contain not only beneficial "medicine", but all sorts of nasty biological and/or biochemical stuff.

Interesting line that. So this film is going to explore questions of mortality as well?

I am with you as well i liked his characterization.
It looks like he wants to find the "truth" by any means necessary.
I am starting to think that David will use Holloway somehow.
Loved the one featuring Shaw
LMG looked, sounded and acted as hammily and amateurishly as usual so no surprise there eh !!

At about the point he started flippin' that holo-cube, I realized my hate was as strong as ever.
Also, the fact that he is incapable of delivering any line without a douchey smirk doesn't help, either.
So the other Jockeys looks like they are chasing the one in front of them? Must have done something they didn't like.

Cvalda, I would just like to say, for the record, LMG has never appeared in any Terrence Malick film...and I think I would be safe in predicting he never will.

Classic case of not being able to separate a character from an actor. Like Lena Headey was talking about in an interview of how fans of GoT come up to her and randomly call her a bitch or say they don't like her. People, man.

Y'all just can't handle LGM. There is a fine line between being bold and stupid. Action heroes risk their lives all the time - and maybe one can say they are stupid - but they get the job done.
Is he not the one go back and save Noomi from the storm? No LGM - no Shaw. And can you blame him for being super ambitious, capable, and incredible hot? No - so hands off ppl. Give LGM the respect he deserves.

Herm. Fassbender's smokin' hot, and none of us are complaining about
his acting.
Yeah he's hot, but he plays an android. This is like some equivalent of guys that hate ego-threatening women (like Vickers).
Attractiveness varies. ;D

It has nothing to do with his acting - it's because y'all have a crush on the Fassbender, while you all hate how cocky LGM is, and y'all hate how well he knows how hot he is. I mean I am sure they both can get plenty of leg - but Fassbender is a little more modest about it.
I mean - do you think RScott made a bad choice with him? He has a stellar cast around him Theron, Fassbender, Rapace, Elba, etc. So would he really match all that with someone who can't compare?

It's the details of the character. It seems like it can never be decided on whether the problem is Logan Marshall-Green's acting, or the character in general (how he's written to be). I swear, one of the biggest sources of speculation here is whether the character is supposed to be how LMG plays him, when it's really quite obvious it is. People get their undies in a knot over LMG instead of the character, like if another actor was chosen, the character would be different... when really, we know the lines, and he's delivering them just as they should be.
If you don't like the character, so be it, there're characters in movies and TV shows we don't like all the time, but the over reactions around here are so incredibly strong that it's capable of derailing topics in a single post. Notice how that all branched out from the detail of who the character actually is meant to be? The bitching is more annoying than the character ever will be.

So...he's a jackass? Fassbinder I mean, regardless of the man's personality he is a phenomenal actor.
That said I don't particularly get all the hullabaloo over Holloway/LMG, I can't say I like him but I can't say I hate him either in fact I keep forgetting he's even in the movie to an extent. For the record Cvalda, my Mother(who wants to see the film based upon my ranting and raving about Alien and the fact she is vaguely familiar with the franchise as a whole) agrees that Holloway seems like a bit...asinine, but not quite her words(Hint: She called him something phallic).
I will say the whole "I want to crush man made religion" line is kind of....wow douche of the year worthy, sadly I've known too many people that act or think in that way and I can say that I won't particularly like his character if he continues to carry on with that kind of attitude.
Which begs the question, in terms of character...how in the HELL could someone like Shaw(who sounds extremely religious) even think about dating/marrying/screwing someone that says such incredibly stupid things as "I WANT TO CRUSH ALL OF MAN MADE RELIGION". I know in a lot of cases opposites attract(not for me, tried that once), but most religious people I've known don't take to kindly to having their religion trashed about in such a manner. I am not particularly religious(I do believe in God) but I do not like when someone tries to assert their view and their opinion on someone.
The whole anti-LMG thing is totally overplayed. I know he won't be winning any Academy Awards in the near future - but to claim that his acting is bad or hammy is just a far cry from the truth.
I know that the judgement of acting is subjective - there are limits to what one can argue. So when someone says the LMG is a bad actor or hammy or fake or what have you - I can't help but think they are holding something on the side against him.
That and I don't think that such an important player in the story would be depicted by someone who Scott judged to be insufficient or incapable of fulfilling the role.

Admittedly I've had very few relationships, and the relationships I did have were not all that positive(infidelity, dishonesty, etc) and it's true I've witnessed the paradigm you speak of in many past female friends and girlfriends detestable choice in men. Being the "nice guy" is apparently not what most women want decide saying otherwise, but I suppose that is in of itself a bit of a generalization.

But yes, the awful cliches that women mostly go after douche bags is true. But that's because
most men are douche bags, and
most women are too stupid to tell.
It's less a problem of gender, and more a problem of the entire human race in general being total morons.

Yep. This is true. But it should also be pointed out that "feeling entitled to pussy because you are nice" is just a different species of Douchery.

I suppose what you are saying is true, I suppose I should've worded that differently as I have heard the phrase before it just didn't click with my brain while I was typing it all out. Think before you speak, or err..type as they might say.
Looks like I am suffering from Holloway Syndrome, oh dear. :D Cvalda, can I rely on you to turn up the flamethrower if it progresses?
It's just that I've heard it many times before from many different women, and my ex's have all said I was a "awesome" boyfriend as I find douche bags and, the mistreatment of women, and the like as utterly detestable.
And I agree, most of the human race are completely made up of morons.

Herm. Fassbender's smokin' hot, and none of us are complaining about his acting.
It has nothing to do with his acting - it's because y'all have a crush on the Fassbender, while you all hate how cocky LGM is, and y'all hate how well he knows how hot he is. I mean I am sure they both can get plenty of leg - but Fassbender is a little more modest about it.
I mean - do you think RScott made a bad choice with him? He has a stellar cast around him Theron, Fassbender, Rapace, Elba, etc. So would he really match all that with someone who can't compare?
Honestly, I don't find Fassbender that attractive. He's got a certain charm to him and he has a decent body but his face isn't all that (in my opinion). Logan Marshall Green is a little more attractive, I'll admit. He reminds me of Tom Hardy who I like but he's still not one of my favourites.
But when it comes down to acting, looks don't count for anything. It doesn't matter if you're supermodel material or need to put a paperbag on your head - if you can't act, looks won't mask anything or sway my judgement. Charlize Theron is beautiful and she's one of the strongest actresses of her generation. She is a chameleon and even if she's acted in some mediocre films, she invests in her characters 110%.
So attractiveness and acting don't go hand in hand - not for me, anyway.
I don't question Ridley Scott's talent but nobody is perfect and people can make bad judgement. Ridley might have seen something in Logan Marshall Green he liked but ultimately it might have been a choice that was the weakest link in the casting. I have nothing personal against him. I liked him in Devil but I don't think he's on the level of Fassbender, Rapace and Theron.
Maybe at one point in the film I'll change my mind on his acting and character. Stranger things have happened.
At the end of the day, different strokes for different folks.

It's possible but remember, there are billions of people on the planet, thre is probably lots of good guys in the world.
Wow, that went sideways.
Again, really, for me, I've seen Marshall-Green in other television and film and this role is quite a departure. He's a solid performer, I see no problem with him. I frankly think part of the overblown response to the guy is the character, who is clearly brash, reckless and IMO condescending towards Shaw and certainly David, and that's who he is meant to be. And yeah, I roll my eyes at some of Holloway's foolish attitude like anyone else. But part of the reaction is, I feel, a knee-jerk response to the presence of a young, handsome man who ticks demographic boxes, which, I think, is seen by some as supposedly anathema in an Alien film.
I personally don't see it that way. Both Michael Biehn and Tom Skerritt were reasonably popular and attractive young, up and coming leading men when they played Hicks and Dallas, but it was not the form and function of their character. Neither is it so with Marshall-Green as Holloway. I think times have changed, looks have changed, style and film certainly, but I don't think that's what LMG's casting as Holloway was about. I suspect his stage work was seen and that's what got him the gig, because he's awfully good. I don't think it's a case of "how dare they cast a hunk in an Alien movie as a shameless attempt to curry the female demographic with this pretty boy" - I never remotely thought it was that.
Marshall-Green is playing what appears to be an arrogant, supremely self-assured egotist of a scientist. Everything about his performance and appearance - right down to the ascot, no doubt - is calculated to generate that. I'm sure Holloway is not a truly awful human being, but he leads with the arrogance. I personally find his and Shaw's relationship fascinating to ponder, because as I've said before, he seems to lead the charge, even as he's simultaneously putting her and her passion down ("I want to crush all man-made religions" - why?). I don't know why they're together, how they've related given his ego and her apparent demure shyness, and I want to. I can believe he loves her, but their dynamic seems thorny and imperfect - and interesting.
I have no further opinions on any of the other actors or their personal lives, except to say that Michael Fassbender may in fact be the finest leading man of our times and casting him was genius.
Back to the topic, eh.

the hilighted part of your post is complete and utter patronising bullshit !! (to put it politely)
the handsomeness/hunkiness/swoonworthiness or whatever you want to call it, of a character or actor, has absolutely NOTHING at all to do with how happy or otherwise I am with his inclusion in a movie like this
but it does have everything to do with how well and how convincingly he delivers his lines, how convincingly he plays a role, and how transparent he is in doing so
LMG looks like he's trying to act a part, and he sounds like he's reading his lines off a cue card for the first time - amateurish in the extreme
Its really the first time in a long time that a performance (or at least what weve seen of it so far) has stood out so much from the rest, simply from viewing the trailers, for being so glaringly bad
He sticks out like a sore thumb amongst that ensemble cast of talent, and it has absolutely zippo to do with his looks
Cast a breathtakingly beautiful male model type in the role and if his acting is seamless and you totally 'buy' him as that character, purely because his performance is so good, so natural, and so believable.........it certainly wont matter one jot to me how gorgeous he is........and you definitely wont hear any complaints from me - for me its all about the acting and LMG just doesnt cut it here
I would agree in part that LMG almost seems as if he put on his best acting skills resulting in a performance that appears almost exhuberant and plastic..which is odd because his work in Devil was amazing. I'll reserve final judgement after viewing the entire film. I want to think the best of him for now :)

No, it happened.
Michael Fassbender's performance so far in the clips and featurettes we have seen shows how an attractive actor, can just absolutely nail their part. I think some of the problem with the dialogue is way the footage we have seen has been cut, I think seeing longer line delivery may change some opinions.
I'm just hoping the line from Noomi about it being an ivitation doesn't make me think of Gandalf's line from Lord of the Rings, when he tells Bilbo he's trying to protect him after getting angry. That line delivery just came out weird, I catch it everytime I see the movie.
What's odd about the 'invitation' line is that Noomi looks so different...like it was a last minute reshoot...her cheeks look botoxed to hell and her hair is weird. In terms of continuity, she looks weird.

Maybe they're not long out of hypersleep - doesn't her character reportedly spend time throwing up after she's woken up. I have to say, I look less than fabe when I've been chucking up first thing of a morning.

I thought the invitation line is given on earth before they ever leave, when they are seated in the hanger looking room and LMG is playing with the holograms from the different civilizations.

I would argue that only Weyland and Vickers know the true mission objective, however, even if Holloway and Shaw are the true scientists... all the others would need to be briefed as to what they planned upon arrival. If you have ever tried to convey information to people to prepare them for something, you normally do it before you get to wherever you are going. You don't want to have to constantly correct people about what they need to be doing.

Both Charlize and Shark Teeth have said that the movie starts with them already in space. The rest of the crew probably vaguely knew the details of where they were going and why.

And, to be quite honest, his character appears to be very willing to sacrifice himself for the safety of others based on that storm clip in the 3-in-1 clip. I know it's Shaw he's trying to help out but I think his character's douchiness might decrease as the film plays out. And I've met people like him in real life. The sad reality is that there are people like Holloway who need something to happen in order to get put in their place.
Or sacrifice the safety of others because of his unwillingness?
