The video will be airing around 21.10 GMT+0 // 13:10 PDT // 6:10 EST
Actually advertised on Prometheus UK on FB. Not sure if it's been picked up yet here:
QuoteChannel 4 will be airing a live ad full of your tweets to see just how excited the Twitterverse is about the new Prometheus movie.
Here at Shiny Shiny we genuinely couldn't be more excited about Ridley Scott's new film Prometheus. We've been watching movie blogs like hawks (the geekiest kinds of hawks, of course) for a sneak peek of the latest trailers, photos, news, hell we've even started to care about celebrity gossip because the cast is just so damn good and we want to know what they're all up to 24/7.
If you're only half as excited (read:obsessed) as us, then you'll be happy to know that another brand new trailer for the film is set to be aired on Channel 4 on the 29th April during the first break of Homeland. Now this is great news, but it's fairly standard for a highly anticipated movie to have its trailer played during the ad break of a popular TV show, right?
But wait, the interesting part is that after the trailer has been aired a live advert will be played full of live tweets documenting just how thrilled UK film geeks really are about the new movie. To be in with a chance of having your thoughts included in the live ad, then use the hashtag #areyouseeingthis after the new trailer has been aired.
This is a great way to show just how much buzz there already is about the movie, even though its release date is still months away. And, even though it seems a little like we're all being forced to share our opinions, we're very tempted to do it anyway. Let's just hope no one spoils the fun with lots of abuse and swearing, although we'd hope that Channel 4 already has that covered.

I hope this is available in the US as well.
I think it will be on the internet not long after it is going to be aired on tv ;)
I wonder how much new footage is coming in.
Don't watch it - we're nearly there guys 8)
They're not gonna spoil it for us.
The new trailer was rated by the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) today, and clocks in at 3m20s with a British 12A rating.

Sorry but are you dumb ? most trailers are rated 12 to 13 they always are ( just not red band trailers) so becuse the trailer is rated 12 dosent mean the movie is .... its a rating for the trailer not the whole movie.
A red-band trailer would be pointless...I'd rather have bad language and gore saved for the cinema experience
The NEW Prometheus trailer will debut tomorrow, Sunday April 29 in the UK on Channel 4. In the link below, anyone can watch it as well as chat about it!
www.PrometheusForum.net/live-trailer (http://www.prometheusforum.net/live-trailer)
The trailer will appear during the first ad break of Homeland (claire danes, yes)... which is expected to be at around 9:10 pm UK time.
Here are the starting times according to selected locations:
Sunday, 10:10 pm CET (Germany, Netherlands, Hungary, etc...)
Sunday, 9:10 pm BST (UK)
Sunday, 4:10 pm EDT (East Coast, USA)
Sunday, 1:10 pm PDT (West Coast, USA)
Monday, 6:10 am (Melbourne, Sydney)
This better not just be an English version of the Russian featurette which is not really a "trailer" so to speak.
The runtime leads me to think it might be but why would they show a featurette after hyping it up as a new trailer?
On one hand I'm super excited and on the other hand I don't want them to give too much away. I think this will be the last clip I watch. It's only 40 days until the film's release.
I suspect this is the English language version of the Russian featurette. The runtimes are i dentical. If they are different then the coincedence is staggering!

Its indeed useless.
But i think we will see the jockey in the new trailer or at least the engineer.
so, it's sunday...what time does this thing air in the UK?
Around 9pm(ish)- 8 hours to go :D

i've marked it!
i can't imagine they would show us the featurette again; they pronounce it as trailer.
nevertheless, what it will be: i guess we have seen the most stuff already.
maybe a crossover haybrid of the actual trailer & featurette?
Well, if it's 9pmish, it would be 7 hours earlier in the states....so, 1pmish then :)
Rothschild posted the times a few posts back:

That site says its a TRAILER not the featurette, they wouldn't have all this countdown and stuff for a featurette thats already been shown.

i think it will be a trailer too. but that featurette is from russian 20th century fox and only with russian overdubs, so seing it in english (only) would be something new.

But thats not a trailer though, everyone knows what a trailer is and Fox wouldn't be saying 'The NEW Prometheus trailer debuts here' on that countdown site if it was a featurette. Only my opinion of course and i could be wrong.

Probably not. It would likely just get taken down shortly thereafter. It'd be a matter of who was fast enough to watch and or get it. :)

i hear, ya!
you know the only reasonable suspicion, that it might be the featurette is the length of both video materials: 3'20 min.
but i think it will be a trailer.
maybe a hybrid of the featurette and the trailers, that were shown before?

guys, it is just in several hours so keep chillin'.
i hope it won't be that spoilery, though.
My guess is that the trailer will contain most or all of the footage in both the English and Russian featurettes, including the footage displayed behind the cast while they're being interviewed. In addition to that footage we might get a handful of brand new shots. And to fill out the rest of the 3 minute trailer duration, we'll get footage we're already all familiar with.
I'm really curious to see this new trailer and I'll be extremely disappointed if it's just an English version of the Russian featurette because this was being advertised as a trailer.
If we do in fact get a new trailer, mark my words. There will be at least one shot that will cause a huge reaction. I'm guessing we will see a glimpse of something but only barely. Since they'll be broadcasting a few twitter reactions in the next break, I'm sure they will have a treat in store for us.
I just hope that this one will make its way online in HD.
I remember during The Dark Knight campaign, there was a trailer that was released as part of a Pizza Hut tie-in (if I'm not mistaken) and that was my favourite trailer. Too bad that it only ever saw a dark, low resolution release.
In how much time is it?
3 hours.
I literally can't sit still.
We're like giddy school kids!!! :)

I cant freaking wait !!!
I'm so excited right now, I hope it won't deceive me!
How would it deceive you? Lol
I'm torn.
Part of me really wants to see a nice glimpse of the "beast" in this movie, whatever it's going to be.
pls, not!
even the unveiling of the jockey was too much.

I think the beast will have a little Gollem/Smeagol style featuring,
the big giant i mean will have that style.
If there is a beast, I don't want to see it until I'm sat in the cinema wearing silly glasses.
And I hope this beast is as iconic and supremely terrifying as the original creature. I wanna be scared shitless!

I hear you. I've been having an internal struggle ever since the trailers, TV spots, stills and other goodies started flooding the web. I want to be as surprised as possible but I find it difficult to look away. :'(
I hope they're done releasing new content after this new trailer tonight, to be honest. We have enough stills, enough footage and know enough about the plot to tide us over until the release.
You now have T-Minus 1 hour 55 minutes to get to the nearest TV.
MOTHER. YOU BITCH!
and there I was thinking I was gonna sleep early today...its 9:22 pm in Kuwait at the moment
I swear that time slows down as it gets closer to the premiere of a trailer. I remember waiting for the first full trailer not knowing what to do with myself. :laugh:

Hey, is that the original AvP game where you can play as the Marines/Predator/Alien in the campaign, but there is also a skirmish mode where you can play as a Marine or Predator with the weapon(s) of your choice against an endless horde of aliens?
I still think that game is one of the scariest I've ever played lol. I sometimes pick a random mission in the campaign and use the command prompt to insert friendly marines to make it a bit more manageable.

K missed half of it due to lag :@ hopefully there will be a youtube upload very soon.
Wow. Running Space Jockey, Melting PLastic around guys face. Weird snake thing. AWESOME!!!
That thing that popped out of the black goo was freaky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Saw a good shot of that snake like creature thing.
Was someone's helmet melting or something at the end. It looked like it melted straight through his face.
HOLYf**kINGSHIT.
HOLYf**kINGSHIT.
Ok, I missed pretty much all of that because of lag. Some cool new stuff though!
Holy shit creature shot!
Space jockey with helmet on!
Way to much to take in!
I didn't even see it. The page wouldnt even load lol. Will have to wait for an online HD version...........
Such a shame they used that horrible overdub of "There won't be any home to go back to!" from the US TV spots. Poor Noomi. >:(
I think we've officially reached frontier of being as close to spoilers as possible. Though I really wish I could see what was going on. I hope there's going to be a good quality release soon.

we see what the creature looks like that goes into the arm (the snake looking thing)
we have confirmation of dead jockey bodies found in the cave that is examined by the crew.
there is new footage of what happens to some people who are infected or affected by what they discover, it looks dramatic.
there is some new footage of the hologram jockey, from what i could make out the running jockey in the hologram has its mask part of the suit on i think.
thats what i could remember, some new story hints were dropped (the company apparently through vickers seems to be cautious about the idea of bringing anything 'alien' back, this is interesting)
hope it comes onto iTunes soon!
We need an internet version now !
I tried the stream, but it was a very unsatisfying experience :-\ ;D
It looks good ! The "snake" !
That was good! That guys mask that looked as if it was melting, the jockey hologram running, the weird snake thing out of the goo and something exploding from an urn or an egg of some kind!
Lots of new footatge... of the significant stuff i did pick up:
New hologram of the Jockey,
3 new shots of the 'snake' creature, seems to have a hammer-like head
Weylands' Vickers' appears to have an agenda
something 'exploding' out of the head brought back to Prometheus
Mural forming into a rib cage
That blew me away completely!
Damn. This live stream was sooo bad I haven't seen much. Hope somebody recorded this better.
For what is worth my VERY BAD QUALITY recording of the stream:

Strangely enough the player goes smoothly ONCE the footage is over. Gosh darnit.
This is?

Cor, that was a bit good! Some new jockey action and first proper look at the eel thing. Think I'll be rewinding now...!
that jockey body looks a lot more 'alien' or jockey like than the 'engineer' bald guy? its definitely different, more organic looking, full suit??
O M F G
that was amazing. i can't wait for a full HD version so i could watch it slowed down.
DID THAT HELMET/HEAD EXPLODE???
Making screencaps of all the new stuff now. f**king 480 >:(
Im not sure what to think of the Xeno cobra. Id rather it was a formless being rather than a cross between a snake and a sting-ray
The head of the snake/eel thing looks very much like a facehugger to me!
Epic trailer, the best yet.
Noticed various flashes of jockey related stuff in there, got a download of this and working on caps now.
Mind blowing! Thank god for Sky+ in glorious HD!
It was so laggy about the only part I could make out was that helmet melting. argh! Sure the internet will provide soon :P

About the helmet melting part at 2:34, doesn't that look like a Xenomorph in a way? What if the xenomorph is made by a fusion between a human being and his space suit? The opaque color of the helmet's windshield reminds me very strongly of the opaque Alien dome from the first film.
it looks like in the trailer they decided to blur out what was taken out of Shaw unlike the previous trailers.
OH GOD I CANT HOLD ALL OF THIS IN, GET IT OUT OF MEEEEE--
guys I'm shitting bricks here I don't even know what to do, the trailer is f**king beautiful ohhh gawwwdddd~

Have watched it 4 times already! I can't freaking wait for June 1st!
it appears the space jockey helmet will explode??
I love how when the jockey head explodes at 1:48, the crew around jumps, but David, being as he is a robot, remains motionless and curious.
I must admit the acid on head is the kind of stuff that gets me very pumped for this movie.

No. I think it's more than likely some kind of a trap. Like ancient Egyptian salt traps.
I don't know which I'm more amped for; A:CM or this.
I'm not sure that's an overdub of Noomi Rapace ("if we don't stop it...") so much as a different take. We've seen a number of different takes on certain lines used throughout the promotional cycle. I personally prefer the take from the first full trailer.
That was something else. Looks like Vickers may be faced with the same dilemma Ripley faced in Alien - letting an infected crewmember back onboard. Ripley made the right choice, though it was taken out of her hands; I think Vickers must relent.
LOVED the shot of the holographic Engineers, and the helmet.

For me, definitely this. A:CM doesn't even come close to how amazing this looks.
I can't get that trailer out of my mind! :o I need to see it again!

I'm rather loving this design. It's very threatening. Reminds me of a python.
I love Rafe Spall from Edgar Wright's films and want as much of him in the film as possible, but you have to wonder how stupid Milburn has to be to want to play with that thing. It even looks like a (penis) cobra.

Very cool little critter. Straight outta something Barlowe.
A few other things to notice - presumably that's Holloway being hauled back to the ship when the guy keels over in two crewmates' arms. The crewmates are Shaw and Ford - she doesn't die first time out as I wondered.

The skeleton of SJ's (Engineer's, blue race) baby? It looks too tiny in comparison to David!
Goddamn. 2:33 looks pretty gruesome.
It's not the Space Jokeys head that explodes. It's look like Milburn after his helmet melts onto his face!

Gotta think of it from the scientific perspective. If the trailer is showing us that scene as it really is, the creature does seem to
pause before it attacks. So it's intentions are questionable.
For humanity encountering this creature is a big deal.
It's also very true to the scene in Alien with Kane and the egg. The audience is practically screaming "Don't go there" and Kane still has to take a peak inside.
Same results. :)

OMG that was awesome!!!
JESUS CHRIST
what will bother me about this film is that the original space jockey in ALIEN was way bigger than any of these, these jockeys sizes just look like a big humans, the jockey in ALIEN was absolutely huge, scott emphasised this using children as actors in the wider shots. but even with the full size actors close up to the jockey, they were still small.

I don't know which I'm more amped for; A:CM or this.
For me, definitely this. A:CM doesn't even come close to how amazing this looks.
I can't get that trailer out of my mind! :o I need to see it again!
Totally agree
It looks absolutely phenomenal

A few other things to notice - presumably that's Holloway being hauled back to the ship when the guy keels over in two crewmates' arms. The crewmates are Shaw and Ford - she doesn't die first time out as I wondered.
I think it's Milburn, if you look closely at the name on the helmet. I could be wrong
Well, those look like Milburn's glasses in that mess with the dissolving helmet. Poor Rafe. I'm still hoping we have a bit more of him than it seems.
I can understand scientific curiosity but even as a layman who works as a writer I know what it looks like when a snake is preparing to strike. That's exactly the stance of that thing. I wouldn't have gotten that close without - IDK - a hammer and tongs from Arby's, at least.
And I looked at the guy being carried but that really looks like Holloway to me. I'll have to look at HD caps.
Looks like a human head instead of the jockey head.

Fifield's head gets f**ked up.
Looks like the worm slithers through the suit and then into the helmet and then explodes from the inside in a rain of acid. Maybe some kind of defense mechanism which is why the Jockey helmet is exploding too?

I'll give you guys a hint on this one.
JOCKEY MASK - JOCKEY HEAD. ;D
Remember the jockey head is part of a suit. That mean's there's like an actual humanoid engineer inside the suit.
So what's being seen there is the inside of that thing as it... Explodes? For some reason. :D
Look at the shadow of that humanoid face there, it looks just like the jockey head statue.

I see an eye, a nose and maybe a mouth, I'm not sure.
Just stepped inside the door and this awaits me...! :o :o :o
So awesome...!
Thx Cvalda - some epic screengrabs :-*
Look at that helmet melting around someones face...!
Twisted Milburn putting an axe into someone else
The running jockeys...
I think that might be an engineers head that explodes - perhaps a head that was inside the jockey helmet...
I can't parse that image of the head. I don't know which end is up.

The xenosnake thing looks to be modeled after the hammerhead worm:

I still think it's that Jockey's head brought back to the ship, looks like it's going through changes then explodes, releasing something inside....maybe

I still think it's that Jockey's head brought back to the ship, looks like it's going through changes then explodes, releasing something inside....maybe
The jockey helmet most likely belongs to a statue; which has a sculpted head too. In the laboratory they take the helmet off, and that is what they get.
Fifield, I know your skeptical about this "invitation," man, but no need to stick an axe in someone's back over it.

It's Milburn's head that explodes

I don't think it is. The background is the same as the shot where they're studying the decapitated jockey head.
You are referring to 1:49 in the video, right?
I'm guessing the thing explodes when examined by one of Prometheus' scanners.

Not anymore, it's in the middle of shattering, but it's definitely the same thing as the Jockey head. It's the same room going by the background.
I think so too. We've seen some pretty clear shots of the same scene in the past showing the helmeted head.
Extrapolating from what we've seen here - David or the crew watch holographic projections of multiple Engineers. At least one is running. Is it being pursued? Did it kill the others?
Gotta admit, watched the trailer (it was so awesome!) but I feel like I spoiled the movie for myself since it showed
too much. Now when I see this it won't be a huge surprise as I wanted it :/

Nice find!
Doesn't look like the jockey! It looks to human. The Space Jockey's head looks different in the first trailer! And there's no smoke.
Looks like a burnt and melted face just before it explodes.

Looks like the worm slithers through the suit and then into the helmet and then explodes from the inside in a rain of acid. Maybe some kind of defense mechanism which is why the Jockey helmet is exploding too?
It's Milburn's head that explodes

What? :P Looks more like it's melting to me.

The skeleton of SJ's (Engineer's, blue race) baby? It looks too tiny in comparison to David!
Is that the decapitated body on the ground of the ampule room, seen in that magazine cover so long ago?
Probably, if it's shot in perspective, but again, in fact this carcass is very small... puzzling!

On second thought that does look like one of the Engineer's head. Remember during one trailer it showed the same scene only that time it had a SJ "helme" so what if they remove the "helmet" and his head explodes? That certainly does not look human to me in my opinion.

Ford was helping the suffering Holloway(?) back into the ship. Looks like they were met with Vickers and a flamethrower? Dunno. Confused. Like it that way too. ;D
Ford is in the medbay with the others. She's got a surgical mask on.
There are at least two trips out, which would echo the original Dan O'Bannon script for the first film which was cut down (removing the temple, etc) for budget. Remember: the Nostromo crew finds the decapitated head of a jockey, examines it in their lab, then goes back out to discover the temple and the eggs. Sound familiar?

It's the same face of the ship. The one in the ship is crying.. maybe for his life? What if that guy got infected with one of these snakes, living in his head?
Perhaps the crew carry out an experiment and use this on the dead Jockeys brain?
"WEYLAND INDUSTRIES SYNAPSE REESTABLISHER"
"Another remarkable technological feat from Weyland scientists, the Synapse Reestablisher, through precise, minute electrical innervation, awakens dormant neurons in the brain tissue of deceased or dying patients. This delicate technology is highly sensitive and restricted to a select group of doctors and scientists. The 9 existing Reestablishers have been in use for the past 2 years in medical schools and biotech research centers for experimental use only, pending FDA investigation."
Imagine a scene of a dead jockey head coming back to life, it would be completley disturbing and at the same time echo the Ash reanimation scene from Alien, before an adverse reaction of sorts causes the brain to explode?

It works, it's a matter of the change in depth too. If you're losing an inch off the front for the mask to reveal the face, that would explain the change in perspective.
Besides, who says they actually use their eyes to look out the "holes" in the helmet? More than likely we're dealing with some kind of a biogenic link. The helmet having it's own eyes entirely, so they don't have to match up necessarily. :)
"Weyland Industries earns patent number 18,364,003 for Method and Apparatus for device able to temporarily restart brain activity of deceased individuals."
This and the fact that the head seems to explode from the brain out, i'd bet that they at least attempt to use this on that head.

There might be 2 not 1 with helmet 'trouble', Milburn being the other one. The shot I posted really looks like Fifield - I don't see any glasses either...
Thx MrSpaceJockey :)
@OpenMaw - I'm thinking they remove the helmet, revealing the head inside - placing it inside the shielding for contamination reasons. That green goo sure looks like the xeno acid blood...

Notice that they are wearing different space suits than the Prometheus crew.
Aaaaaaaaaand Holloway continues to irritate like a motherf**ker. And Janek's accent is still really silly.
With this last trailer sort of confirming it for me, I expect this film to be almost completely unlike ALIEN and more like a 50's/60's sci-fi/horror with an inflated budget. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, but I was kinda hoping for something more atmospheric and spooky, without any potential for camp or wooden dialogue--"Do you have some kind of agenda in this, Ms. Vickers?" Oh lord. ::)
Expecting this to be a solid blockbuster. Not expecting it to be in the same league as the original trilogy. At any rate, bring on June 8th!

We've seen them before, though. They've been wielding flamethrowers since the teaser trailer and look like a heavier version of a suit for more industrial work.

I wonder if the fight among crewmembers we've seen taking place in the hangar bay, happens right after they arrive back with a wounded/infected Fifield. Vickers (with the flamethrower) won't allow him to come onboard and all Hell breaks loose and he goes on a rampage.
I'm thinking Milburn is the one with the total helmet melting, giving him an early and horrible exit from the film

Anyone starting to think that somehow all the crew get infected and the xenomorph/facehugger being able to "adapt" to everything it attaches adapts to their helmets and that's why the aliens in the movies later on have those domed shaped skulls as part of their 'mutations'?

Mmno. :) Let the beast rest.
It seems like as time passes that STARBEAST synopsis could be true especially since you can see Vickers transforming in 1 of the shots. She hits 1 of the crew. I actually liked that synopsis that was floating around. at the 2:27 mark something is going on with the left side of her face and her skull looks discolored by her ponytail.

Millburn gets the full acid melt and fifield only a partial. SO, fifield would be the first scene(alson present in the very first teaser) and millburn the second. or are they the same shots??? I dont see galsess in any one of them.. ???

This shot freaks me the f**k out of me.
Glad to see there'll be some red shirts in the movie, look like deck crewmen. Preeetty sure they're about to be horrifically slaughtered.
Anyone starting to think that somehow all the crew get infected and the xenomorph/facehugger being able to "adapt" to everything it attaches adapts to their helmets and that's why the aliens in the movies later on have those domed shaped skulls as part of their 'mutations'?
No.

With this last trailer sort of confirming it for me, I expect this film to be almost completely unlike ALIEN and more like a 50's/60's sci-fi/horror with an inflated budget.
Pretty much
like A L I E N then.
Quote from: Cvalda on Apr 29, 2012, 09:18:55 PMExpecting this to be a solid blockbuster. Not expecting it to be in the same league as the original trilogy. At any rate, bring on June 8th!
I'm expecting it to be a damn sight finer than 2 of those films.
Cvalda. You were your apprehensions like armor!
I hope Ridley melts your defenses and assimilates you like it'd 1979!

I wonder if the fight among crewmembers we've seen taking place in the hangar bay, happens right after they arrive back with a wounded/infected Fifield. Vickers (with the flamethrower) won't allow him to come onboard and all Hell breaks loose and he goes on a rampage.

Look at Cvaldas screengrabs - the guy whose helmet melts on his face wears glasses (you can make out the rim). I don't believe Milburn makes it back alive - he's toast. Perhaps they bring his body or they leave his remains behind so they can hurry back with the alive victims.
Holloway doesn't look like he's in great shape either. Isn't he the one being supported by Shaw and Ford, screaming in agony, but looking sort of ok... (meaing his face hasn't melted or anything...yet)?

We've seen them before, though. They've been wielding flamethrowers since the teaser trailer and look like a heavier version of a suit for more industrial work.
Has there been any talk of the actual size of the Prometheus crew in total? Seems like there's about 20 people on board.
Well, it's not mentioned in any of the ships viral blueprints. Looks like there is Vickers, Shaw, Holloway, David, pilots Chance and Ravel, cap. Janek, Milburn, Fifield, Ford, 2+ "mercs" and their "cargo," and that's all I can think of.

Has to be Fifield before he goes apeshit in the cargo bay? Judging from the scorch marks ... he's already felt some of that heat? God ... Sweeper ... we must have this NOW!
YUP.
My thoughts were that Vickers torched the shit out of him as soon as he started getting a little... rowdy, and then they got the main crew into the ship, tellin' them deck crewmen to clean up the mess... leading to the impeding shitstorm we have here.
Biiig massacre in the cargo bay and they get some of the main crew to go down and, er,
attempt to control the situation.
Basically: GIMME THE MOVIE.
IDK, it's still quite freaky to me. On trailers alone - which really aren't the movie - it's already better than Alien 3, which has never really improved with time for me. (And Memories of Murder is a better movie than Zodiac, but that's another story)

Let me clarify: by 50's/60's sci-fi horror, I mean bright, contrasting primary colors, wooden performances, some unintentional camp, and ponderous dialogue.

Not to mention that, for what's been suggested so far,
Prometheus has a polar opposite way of thinking than that of
Alien. :P
I don't see why bright colors automatically = retro camp wooden horror movie.
That's a lot to assume from a line or two from the trailer, and frankly, the original films are full of similar leading lines, most of which either invented themselves or worked in their context. I also don't think anyone's wooden or campy so far, but that's because I don't see anything wrong with Logan Marshall-Green's performance. He's playing a gung-ho, somewhat foolish daredevil scientist. Mission accomplished.

Well SHIT. That was a mind fukc. I have to watch it again and again, and again!
Will say that I am quite liking the cobraxeno (or whatever we're going to call it), even if it isn't in the league of a Giger design. Looks very sinister and threatening. Which begs the question of why Milburn is such a stupid idiot that he goes to touch it. :P

I wouldn't be suprised if it turns out Weyland is onboard too, I mean this whole thing revolves around him anyway, there's little doubt Vickers has some kind of agenda.

I'm not sure that's an overdub of Noomi Rapace ("if we don't stop it...") so much as a different take. We've seen a number of different takes on certain lines used throughout the promotional cycle. I personally prefer the take from the first full trailer.
That was something else. Looks like Vickers may be faced with the same dilemma Ripley faced in Alien - letting an infected crewmember back onboard. Ripley made the right choice, though it was taken out of her hands; I think Vickers must relent.
LOVED the shot of the holographic Engineers, and the helmet.
hah glad i wasnt the only one you noticed the audio change on that
i thought i had just watched the first few trailers way too many times

I guess you mean ALIENS and ALIEN3?, lol no. I doub't the film will be as good as ALIEN3 (hugely underrated), as for being better than ALIENS....hah ha ha......no. ::)
i really can't help myself and i have to say it. This doesn't really look like pg13 stuff at all tbh ;D
I'm not even sure what that's supposed to be. It doesn't look like an Engineer, or the mutated Fifield.

Charlize comes across sounding really flat in a lot of lines. Hopefully she does alright in the film proper. Still can't get over how ridiculous Elba's accent is, though.

Mmm... But, as Ridley points out on the commentary "
Very threatening." :)
Idris Elba could speak in a Swedish accent and I wouldn't care. He's that fantastic an actor; it's a character note, I don't mind. And hey, I was able to roll with Dominique Pinon and the seemingly endless stream of anonymous bald British thespians in 3.
As for the cobra, no, I wouldn't touch it. But I can understand why a particularly irreverent scientist might.

It's still pretty incautious to go stick your face onto something you don't know a single cuttlefish f**k of.
Same for the guy that reaches for the Barlowe worm thing. Both scenes use the very same sci-fi archetype. :)

the technology is beautiful very reminiscent of alien so much and even aliens the the scenery haulogram i strayed from the really high tech stuff but im just loving it now almost like deadspace but then again deadspace is alot like alien funny how that works
I'm pretty certain that the thing which 'pops' on the med bay area is an Engineer's head. I can see the nose, eyes, chin and lips..
They must remove the jockey helmet. But why does it explode?

With this last trailer sort of confirming it for me, I expect this film to be almost completely unlike ALIEN and more like a 50's/60's sci-fi/horror with an inflated budget.
Pretty much like A L I E N then.
Let me clarify: by 50's/60's sci-fi horror, I mean bright, contrasting primary colors, wooden performances, some unintentional camp, and ponderous dialogue.
Are you serious? How can you base your facts about wooden perfomances/bad dialouge from 3 trailers and maybe 10 lines of dialouge in total? The only "stiff" perfomance I've noticed is Holloway, but that has been in scenes out of context, and I'm sure it will be fine in the full movie.

Quote from: Esoteric_Voyage on Apr 29, 2012, 08:43:42 PM
what will bother me about this film is that the original space jockey in ALIEN was way bigger than any of these, these jockeys sizes just look like a big humans, the jockey in ALIEN was absolutely huge, scott emphasised this using children as actors in the wider shots. but even with the full size actors close up to the jockey, they were still small.
yea kinda pissed about that

Look at Cvaldas screengrabs - the guy whose helmet melts on his face wears glasses (you can make out the rim). I don't believe Milburn makes it back alive - he's toast. Perhaps they bring his body or they leave his remains behind so they can hurry back with the alive victims.
Holloway doesn't look like he's in great shape either. Isn't he the one being supported by Shaw and Ford, screaming in agony, but looking sort of ok... (meaing his face hasn't melted or anything...yet)?
jup, that seems logical, but i cant make out the rim. i am probably not looking at the same thing as you are....

Quote from: Rick Grimes on Apr 29, 2012, 09:21:15 PM
Anyone starting to think that somehow all the crew get infected and the xenomorph/facehugger being able to "adapt" to everything it attaches adapts to their helmets and that's why the aliens in the movies later on have those domed shaped skulls as part of their 'mutations'?
I wondered the same. Didn't Ridley Scott say something about the spacesuit helmet design being of significance?
I just think it's hasty to decide 'this character/actor sucks', much less that it's a day-glo campfest.
It is a very different film from Alien, yes, and was intended as such. And that's fine. But I think it's important to remember also that Scott has said many, many times that his purpose with both films was also to, in the end, scare the hell out of a people. Alien was a haunted house movie, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre in space. The psychosexual elements were trappings, suggestive. Prometheus is also intended to scare the hell out of people, while also play with big grandiose ideas. So if we have a mash-up of, say, Forbidden Planet (which, despite its dated elements, is still powerful, moody, dreamlike and influential to this day, to the point that a very Prometheus-esque prequel trilogy was almost greenlit) and Texas Chainsaw, I'm very happy. Scares and ideas.

Hello Boy! ;D
I would concede that Theron's delivery is quite flat....but I wouldn't and COULDN'T base the acting from the entire 2 hours off of the 3 to 4 lines of dialogue I've heard.
So far, this film looks like NOTHING I've seen before, aside from the ALIEN-like territory they're in.

Imo there's a humanoid nose ridge and deep humanoid eyesockets visible. Those features are not on the helmet design.
That's because that's the face behind the mask. :)

You decide. :)
idk. the 'eyes' on the exploded head seem to be too high up to match with the untouched jockey helmet
maybe we're seeing what we want to see
It works, it's a matter of the change in depth too. If you're losing an inch off the front for the mask to reveal the face, that would explain the change in perspective.
Besides, who says they actually use their eyes to look out the "holes" in the helmet? More than likely we're dealing with some kind of a biogenic link. The helmet having it's own eyes entirely, so they don't have to match up necessarily. :)
well it is also in mid explosion

Glad to see there'll be some red shirts in the movie, look like deck crewmen. Preeetty sure they're about to be horrifically slaughtered.

I don't think Theron's delivery is flat - I think it's perfectly detached in a cynical business like way...however, you see her panic with "Take us home'
I think she might play a far more significant role than we might imagine. I think she could be the real leader figure - more Ripley than Noomi will be.

hahahahahah good one!! XD
I did briefly wonder if Scott was doing another head-fake on us with Vickers, yes - as I mentioned before, like Ripley, she seems less than enthused about the idea of letting them back on the ship after someone is compromised (and possibly someone's already dead). Ripley was initially presented as the terse, by-the-book 'bitch' taskmaster, but her pragmatism is what kept her alive.
If it does really go all Thelma & Louise on us at a certain point, that could be really interesting - you have Vickers, with the head for business, and Shaw, the dreamer with her faith.

We've not yet seen the final result of the 'mutation' or what Shaw's 'baby' final grows up to be, even with the new content from the trailer there's masses of stuff we've still not seen.
Plus the play/pause button on my Sky HD box is allmost totaly worn away now :)
At a wild guess from the trailers, whatever came out of Shaw ends up big and has tentacles. That, we've never seen before.

We've seen them before, though. They've been wielding flamethrowers since the teaser trailer and look like a heavier version of a suit for more industrial work.
Has there been any talk of the actual size of the Prometheus crew in total? Seems like there's about 20 people on board.
Well, it's not mentioned in any of the ships viral blueprints. Looks like there is Vickers, Shaw, Holloway, David, pilots Chance and Ravel, cap. Janek, Milburn, Fifield, Ford, 2+ "mercs" and their "cargo," and that's all I can think of.
I wouldn't be suprised if it turns out Weyland is onboard too, I mean this whole thing revolves around him anyway, there's little doubt Vickers has some kind of agenda.
That's what I meant by the merc's "cargo."
yea im curious about david losing his shit with the plasma pistol; makes me wonder how many years it took for "It is impossible for me to harm or by omission of action, allow to be harmed, a human being" to come into affect with the artificial person

Theron's delivery flat? Uh nuh, she sounds perfectly cold and detached, business before pleasure.
Yeah, she really needs a uh... Em... A hug. Yeah.

I could be wrong as usual, but this looks like a "baby" facehugger to me. Or it could be a new species like Cvalda said, a "xenoserpent".

With this last trailer sort of confirming it for me, I expect this film to be almost completely unlike ALIEN and more like a 50's/60's sci-fi/horror with an inflated budget.
Pretty much like A L I E N then.
Let me clarify: by 50's/60's sci-fi horror, I mean bright, contrasting primary colors, wooden performances, some unintentional camp, and ponderous dialogue.
Gotta say Holloway (Logan Marshall-Green) still bothers me everytime I see the guy onscreen, makes me wonder how the hell did he get the part in the first place!!. :-\
How would anyone feel if that snake alien made it to an AVP movie?.

Cackling at how you've apparently figured out the whole movie from less than 10 minutes of footage from a 2 hour+ movie.

Anyone starting to think that somehow all the crew get infected and the xenomorph/facehugger being able to "adapt" to everything it attaches adapts to their helmets and that's why the aliens in the movies later on have those domed shaped skulls as part of their 'mutations'?
I wondered the same. Didn't Ridley Scott say something about the spacesuit helmet design being of significance?
thats actually a really interesting theory but theres already an alien drone dipicted on a wall carving in the ship sooooo eh

I would concede that Theron's delivery is quite flat....but I wouldn't and COULDN'T base the acting from the entire 2 hours off of the 3 to 4 lines of dialogue I've heard.
So far, this film looks like NOTHING I've seen before, aside from the ALIEN-like territory they're in.
I agree, so far the problems I'm seeing are her delivery/lines and holloways. The whole "do you have an agenda" and "my job is to make sure you do yours" was a bit weird for me. I'm thinking in the context of the movie it will probably work, but in the trailer it seems rushed and fake. We shall see.Otherwise looks off the hook tho

but I think thats totally intentional, her character is the companies rep who behaves less emotionally or robotically and unhuman than David 8 (who is totally doing the whole Data thing), because she either is another android plant by Weyland, or thats just her whole schtick because it contrasts neatly with the totally emotionally driven risky dangerous scientist types and the real robot who can understand emotions that Vickers clearly doesnt.

I think this trailer is a bit sloppily edited actually - the way the shots of Shaw in the Medpod are cut together makes her screams of 'cut it out' and 'pleeeease' run together.
I think this movie is going to be awesome.

$12 is 2 drinks at a bar, a shitty novel, or like a older used game. This to me looks a lot more entertaining then any of those. Hell, it is the first movie I am excited to go see.
My roommate hasn't seen a movie in the theatre in over 10 years. She is a shut in with a huge anxiety disorder[she works from home and leaves once a week]. She asked me to buy her a ticket for the midnight showing. She NEVER goes out and this is worth it for her to leave the house. That to me speaks of the power of the trailers for it.

I work with this stuff (not this one, obvs) and I can tell you that's SOP for trailers. Cutting together somewhat distanced or entirely unrelated lines to add urgency, underline a point in the plot or theme or character. In this case it's there to amp up the hysteria of that bit with Shaw. It's an obvious edit, but it happens all the time.

As beautiful as she is she is now over-rated as an actress. She was good in DEVIL'S ADVOCATE, 2 DAYS IN THE VALLEY and MONSTER. She is totally flat in the SNOW WHITE trailer as well. (horrible accent to boot)
She reminds me a bit of Angelina Jolie its like after winning oscars their acting has regressed. Jolie's acting in her earlier films compared to now. ::) Dang near 2 different people.
I haven't seen YOUNG ADULT though so maybe I'm wrong. just my opinion based on what I have seen her in lately.

Oh sure, I understand that - my point is that at that particular point, it doesn't work (for me anyway). Compared to the previous trailers, the editing on this one seems distinctly poorer.
It was the pussy.
All the time.
Makes me wonder what that snake creature will do in this movie.
It most likely came from that eye parasite or something.
welp.
don't need to see anything else.
Alright, this Xeno Cobra thing.. Assuming it is a proto-hugger, what is the purpose? What is it meant to do?
I seriously doubt it's a species native to that planet. So it's bio-engineered, which means it must have a function. So it gets into Millburn's suit (maybe it's him in the prior trailer saying "It's in my suit") and then it or something else melts his face.
Holloway is clearly mutating.. And we now know for certain (as if there was any doubt) who mutant mohawk man is jumping around in the hanger killing people.
If Holloway is mutating into a Jockey, what does that mean? Were the jockeys\engineers going to use whatever infects him on earth, since it is clearly compatible, to 'restore' their race? As the mutation progresses, what happens to the victims mind? Are the infected carrying prior personas of deceased engineers? Is it possible that the Engineer restores its own memories and assumes control of the host?
I'm assuming it must, otherwise what would be the point? You'd have a huge population of probably really pissed off human turned engineers with their own free will intact. Providing any of this is true, will Holloway-Engineer remain human sized or 'grow'?
Regardless, I hope that he isn't "the engineer" of the movie. I'm hoping the 'Survivor' they mention in the interviews is an actual engineer and not a human mutant.

Charlize is one of the best actresses working...when she's doing a dramatic or comedic role. The problem is that she LOOKS like an ice queen, but she doesn't always
convince as one, so she is a bit problematic in those kinds of roles. At any rate, she certainly does
look spectacular in PROMETHEUS. :)

I admit I'd find it fascinating if the Engineers have managed to literally turn their consciousness into a viral lifeform that can infect and assimilate the human hosts for their needs. But I still want at least one live, true-blue Engineer, and I think we'll get one.

I don't think its a facehugger. I think the urns/jars hold the prototypes and DNA for earth's creatures. That one being for an actual cobra which "spits" its venom in a similar manner, also why I think this is the shot of what looks like a brown lady bug thing on David's thumb. So if the Space Jockeyes have indeed played a part in Man's creation or terraforming of earth it would make sense. IMO

This is what I think. It also explains the differences in Jockey size [the creature the pathogen invaded that we see in alien was much larger then a human].
One thing I've been wondering about is when the "worm in the eye" scene with Holloway takes place. Because it looks like he's face has been really disfigured when they return to the ship, no beard and all. Maybe that's after their second trip to the temple, and the infection really starts kicking in when they're inside so they have to return to the Prometheus?

... But why does everyone jump to "They're turning into jockeys!" ?
I mean, I don't go with the other theory either that it's some kind of a virus fusing their suits and their persons together into some kind of a freak mutant proto alien thing. Kinda freaky idea, but no I don't buy it.
I don't think we've actually seen the final stage of whatever these changes are, and I still am more inclined to believe that they're not mutating, so much as suffering side effects of the creatures being inside of them.

Oh, god, I know, it's terrible. It's up there with 'Shaw Rape'.

I don't think its a facehugger. I think the urns/jars hold the prototypes and DNA for earth's creatures. That one being for an actual cobra which "spits" its venom in a similar manner, also why I think this is the shot of what looks like a brown lady bug thing on David's thumb. So if the Space Jockeyes have indeed played a part in Man's creation or terraforming of earth it would make sense. IMO
Do you know how many species there are on Earth?, there would have to literaly millions of urns lol. Also the snake thing being a prototype of a cobra just sounds dumb.

Charlize is one of the best actresses working...when she's doing a dramatic or comedic role. The problem is that she LOOKS like an ice queen, but she doesn't always convince as one, so she is a bit problematic in those kinds of roles. At any rate, she certainly does look spectacular in PROMETHEUS. :)
+1
One does really get the "Ice queen" feeling from her.. But, there's something special about her (and I don't mean the ass), and that speciality makes her unique.
And hasn't it been established in one of the latest official blurbs that the crew finds a lone jockey survivor? So the theory of jockey mutation doesn't add up to me. Anything is possible I suppose. :)
Well, I don't think Shaw is literally raped by Holloway or anything, but it's clear something does violate her in some way, in classic Alien tradition.
Holloway can't be that visibly bad off first time out because as early as the first teaser, we see him in bed with Shaw onboard, presumably in the same sequence where he checks his eye. But he looks fairly normal there, as opposed to how he looks when we see them returning to Prometheus. Is that later, or did it 'clear up?'
If shaw is already impregnated by the time she has sex with Holloway aboard the ship, then perhaps she impregnates him in a way?

I mean, I don't go with the other theory either that it's some kind of a virus fusing their suits and their persons together into some kind of a freak mutant proto alien thing. Kinda freaky idea, but no I don't buy it.
I don't think we've actually seen the final stage of whatever these changes are, and I still am more inclined to believe that they're not mutating, so much as suffering side effects of the creatures being inside of them.
It would be so incredible cheesy if the crew turns into Jockeys/Proto-Xenos. Seriously, I really hope that won't happen.

I somehow doubt she is. I think it's Holloway, and Fifield who start to harbor the alien organism of this movie whist the other guy gets his face melted.
Spoiler
I think after this horrible set of events occurs they return to the ship, deal with Fifield, but whatever got into Holloway is kept secret somehow.
Once Noomi deals with her baby, I think she, Holloway, and some other folks decide to head back to the temple to either reclaim their other comrades, or to try and find some way to deal with whatever is happening to Holloway. On their second return to Prometheus the sh*t really hits the fan and we have Holloway rapidly deteriorating.

My guess is one of two things happens.
Spoiler
An "I'm just glad you're okay" post-terrifying-adventure sexcapade. After which Holloway hobbles over to the mirror, having a bit of a headache, and see's strange eye tentacle.
OR...
What starts out as a moment of consensual affection, turns into something a bit nightmarish. (Shaw in that bed shot next to Holloway does not look like she's in good condition, some strange muck on her leg.) I'm thinking something along the lines of "Species" here. It would then follow after Holloway has done whatever to Shaw, he goes over to the mirror, probably confused by his own actions, see's the thing and flips his sh*t.

Yeah I had a thought about that too, I mean we've all (including me) been so sure Holloway does something to Shaw, yet it could so easily be her doing something to him without even knowing it
So there are 2 different kinds of parasites? The black tar and the cobra Facehugger?

I think people are coming to that conclusion based on the size. However you are absolutely right. I am also not convinced that they transform to jockeys or are infected. Its just not definitive based on the trailer. Although it could be.
I'll probably get flack for saying this but As far as the size of the jockey in ALIEN, ... ugh I have to bring up PREDATOR .. maybe that one is some type of elder or leader hence the extra large size. Since we don't know much about their species its plausible that there are different size jockeys for different things. Yeah I know it sounds bad but he could have been..... THE JOCKEY KING...... yes I know ::) but I'm just saying we don't know

Eh... I'd bet more money on that stuff being closer to formaldehyde or, water.
I think it has become pretty apparent that this is some sort of biological weapons facility/laboratory and that there has been some sort of accident/disaster. Why else would there be videos/holograms of jockies running away from something, why else would there be bodies/suits littered around the grounds, why else would there be dangerous alien life forms wondering free. And why would it be deserted? I suspect that there was sole survivor (probably in stasis) and the crew awaken him, he sees the potential threat of this and attempts to destroy the source of it (human species) rather than allow this technology/weapons to be stolen (which is where Peter Weyland/Weyland industries comes in).
No humans will be mutating into jockeys!! they might mutate but not into SJ!!!
Its already been confirmed that the crew encounter a lone survivor (Sj/space kojak) of some kind of massacare.
Are there anymore Space Jockey holograms?.
Post the picture were the Jockey is a little closer.
This is looking way too much like Alien now. More than I would've hoped.

No not based on the 2 synopsis that leaked that may or may not be fake. And if we can be genetically linked to monkeys, and chickens' dna can be linked to dinosaurs (look it up if you don't believe me) and every human walking shares dna with 1 dead woman found in Africa then you might not need as much as you think if you can trace them back to a few sources so you wouldn't need millions of urns.
Now it looks too much like Alien...lolz ;) ;) ;)
I count at least 3 or 4 space jockeys running towards David in that hologram... something really bad went down on the Juggernaut, I suspect...

I think I now know no more or no less than I want to about this film. They can stop the marketing now and I will happily wait out the month; a bloody brilliant trailer. Thanks Cvalda for taking the time to post the images.

I reckon it's going to be pretty much that, but more along the lines of the crew that aren't infected wanting to bail back to Earth, and someone, or something, having to don the flight suit to pilot the Derelict, in an effort to stop them to doing so.
I think the trailers have a lot of misdirection in them myself.
I could hardly wait to see how that snake aliens life cycle works.

Reminds me too much of a facehugger...
@Mr Knight - nice theory :)
I'm thinking what we will see in the prologue and our 'theft' of their technology, will somehow connect to why the surviving engineer seems determined to go to Earth and f*ck us over, if Shaws outcry is accurate.
Makes you wonder... what kind of technology does the engineer have at his disposal on the Juggernaut, enabling him to wipe out an entire civilization, presumably single-handedly? It must be something a lot more terrifying than that reptilehugger...

Though I agree that it's likely not his doomsday weapon, I could see those things causing us some serious problems if Jockey were to drop them into Earth's oceans.

Could well be about there being some sort of accident/disaster happened there, but here's something that doesn't add up if all that were true, why did they come to Earth in the first place (as depicted by the pictograms), yet not wipe us out when they could have long ago, instead leaving clues how to find them?
I don't think Milburn is attacked by the snake like creature. It probably plays nice with him, to which he tells fifield, see there's nothing wrong, why are you being such a moaning little bitch pussy here. It then horribly rapes fifield. :)
Also the space jockey body seen could have a human being inside, maybe Ford, that they find the second time entering the facility. The space Jockey seems to take an interest in her in one scene. That and the head does have what looks to be a bowl haircut. :P
However, alien is bleeding all over this movie. :) The thing that is odd to me is that they have to enter the harkonnen/ship at least twice and return to the ship twice. All before the Prometheus explodes. For instance we see Janek in a space suit and for what reason would he remove it to then pilot/crash into the juggernaut? Didn't somebody say that Vickers entire cabin was an escape vessel? In the trailer she uses an escape pod. So I think Janek and the other crew escape before the Prometheus crashes in the Juggernaut. Also the scene where the alien/jockey attacks shaw has to be on the Prometheus, this can't happen if it's in pieces.

That's why I think it's the threat of infected crew getting back to Earth, which is what the problem is. Not that the one last space jockey is going to go and f**k us all over.
It's the same threat that Ripley saw. "If just one of those things get's down here..."
Unless I'm very mistaken, Janek can be seen with the rest of the suited-up party when we see Vickers opening the loading bay toting a flamethrower. He's in a helmet and suit, carrying something, lower left. We know he doesn't go out on at least one trip with the ground team. I can't identify any of the others in that shot except possibly Ford and Shaw carrying what looks to me like Holloway.
About the jockey's plan - Scott has said many times in the past while speculating on the jockey's origins that they perhaps used their biotechnology to drop on worlds and either seed them for terraforming or wipe out the existing life. All the jockeys would potentially need to do is go to Earth with a bunch of the urns and let the counter-evolutionary (so to speak) sparks fly.
Ridley said what he didn't like much the siquels of Alien, but he refer to Aliens with some moments. Like the screen with changeable weather(D cut). Briefing team about mission after they come out from anabiosis, and power loader certainly))...But the trailer was great!!
UPD You may say what briefing was in Alien, but in this movie plot starts on earth, there they may brief the team...Scene with scafander refer to first movie...
How do you think the mechanics of the Prometheus Facehugger works as compaired to the original Facehugger?

If that's the scenario, the engineer could simply wipe out the Prometheus crew and destroy their ship right there. Human infection problem dealt with. But
presumably he doesn't care that much about them in that exact moment. It appears as if he's heading straight for Earth, hence Shaws outcry that if they don't stop him, there will be no Earth to return to.
I doubt that the reptilehuggers would make Shaw seem so adamant, that the engineer is a threat to our entire civilization. She must have seen something, perhaps realizing how the human race fit into the larger puzzle...

I think it is a red herring, a bit like how the SOS in Alien wasn't actually an SOS. The pictographs may have had no connection whatsoever and the crew may have accidently stumbled upon the Jockies (which is what I think maybe the case) or it may have actually been a warning by some survivor Jockies to primitive humans who where marooned on earth after fleeing the planet.
One thing is for sure is that it was not an invitation. Why would the Jockies want humans to go to that planet? If they had intended for them to go there then why would the Prometheus crew be met with such hostility? Why would the sole surviour seek to destroy earth?
Scott gave the biggest clue away when he stated that the Prometheus crew discover an advanced civilisation who have engaged in the some uncivilised behaviour. That suggests a bological weapons/facility to me and he's always be adamant that the derlict was a bomber with it's cargo being a biological weapon. It ties up
When the flying f**k are we gonns get a new poster? To be honest I'm not entire bothered about getting any more because the one we've got is great, but it's unusual to only have one poster.

Yeah I know what you mean, and it does look like Prometheus is going back on an early Alien idea, that whatever the Space Jockey's created nearly wiped them out, the big question is why are we really being led there...what were we "so wrong" about? If the Jockeys really did have something to do with the creation of mankind, then whatever went wrong on LV-223 would have serious repercussions for the human race, they would know that, so then why lead us there in the first place? My feeling is there's something more sinister at work here, something that needs us to bring it to life in a similar way the alien parasite needed a host, something I suspect the Jockey is really a part of it. Just to cut and run like that doesn't add up for me, especially if we're talking about a superior being, wether they created us or not, I still think the whole thing is a trap!
Has anyone else noticed that the being in the pictograms has a distended abdomen, like it's pregnant?
Well, that they are 'leading us there' - the invitation angle is probably misunderstood to start with.
The engineers didn't make those various pictograms - humans did. You can't fault the engineers if we attribute the pictograms with a meaning/purpose that was never intended.
Quotethe invitation angle is probably misunderstood to start with.
Kinda like an warning being misunderstood as an SOS...
WOW coolness overload^^
Love those running Engineers.
Looks like they f**ked up big time whatever they were doing on the planet.
Xeno like creatures must have been on the loose.
They must be fierce to scare even the ENGINEERS themselves.
Heard that press screenings are going to start soon.
Can't wait.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
That trailer looks phenomenal!
I am a bit worried that it might be spoiling a bit too much though, with the snake thing reveal...
Still...EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
It would be so cool if Ridley could have brought this to the Cannes Film Festival starting soon, considering he did the same with The Duellists - the film that evetually bagged him directing duties on Alien. I wanna watch him and the cast walking those steps towards the main theater in full galla so badly :)
But then again, spoilers would be all over the place before it opened internationally.
The first appearance of the snake creature I would compare more to a closed tulip or a stamen than an animal... I think this is one of the areas where we see the plant influence.

This could be the head of a mutated crew. Remember how Dallas & Brett are organically turned into eggs? Their bodies seem to be ingested with some kind of enzymes.
Was wondering what the hell was going on there. Happens so fast in the trailer.

It's already pretty obvious what that was:
They find a decapitated corpse.
They find the head for said corpse.
They put it in a bag.
They take it to the ship.
They do something to the head.
It explodes.
:)
Hate it when that happens...

The scene is directly related to the scene with them examining the jockey helmet. All 4 persons in the shot are almost standing at the exact same positions in both scenes. :)
Also there is a proper hologram of a SJ in suit? I mean with the trunk and all.
First time we have seen that isn't it? The rest of the shots of them in the hologram sequence, show the humanoid head.
It appears they remove the helmet and find a jockey head in it.

Well, that they are 'leading us there' - the invitation angle is probably misunderstood to start with.

Then how do you account for the fact different civilizations had the same pictogram? We know the engineers have visited Earth, there's a whole "beginning of time" sequence we haven't seen yet.

Sheesh 26 pages I am getting around to watching this for the first time. Lot's of new stuff, Vickers looks like an absolute ice queen. The holographic image of the Jockey running down the hallway was interesting. And there was some freaky stuff going on with someone's helmet.
June where art thou?
People think we've seen to much right now. I really really have the feeling we haven't seen sh*t. I think there is way more to the movie then what we've seen. We automatically think the space jockey's are the "gods", but who says they are. maybe they're in the exact same situation as the prometheus crew are. we don't know yet 8)
Sorry if no one agree's with my theory but...
It could be ancestor of the facehugger. Let's say the Face-Hugger is a Evolved one. The legs prevent it from doing what this "devolved(?) version does but the Legs turned it more, advanced. This is probably before they evolved in Alien. Years and Years on the Derilect on Lv-426. But from the looks of it. if i remember correctly in one of the trailers wasnt that thing on someones face or something? Because of its de-evolved it could have a different purpose than the way the "Face-Hugger does.
Again my theory, don't hate on me... :-\

why should someone hate you because of a theory ? :) other people's theory's are the most fun thing on forums if you ask me ;) far fetched or not, and fyi i like that idea. thought about it a couple of times. but i like the reversed idea more. that the creatures in prometheus are far more evolved and the xeno's we know from the alien movies are in fact really really old.

yeah but maybe they're not the gods. think about it. in the latest trailer they seem to be running from something. at least that's how i saw it. they may be hostile to humans but the SOS in alien could be for their own people. shit went down and they wanted to warn their own race. would be an unexpected twist if the jockey's aren't the higher beings.

Several ancient civilizations who were occopied with astronomy, made star maps/maps of the Heavens, often correctly positioning what they could observe with their limited technology or the naked eye.
If the engineers wanted to leave directions of their own design, why didn't they just leave some of those fancy hologram devices behind with an unlimited powersource? It's obvious to me that those pictograms were made by humans with whatever technology they had at the given time they were made. :)

Exactly. But we also know that the Jockeys/Engineers aren't the only aliens in the film (see Mr. Squid and the wormy guy in the new trailer). Maybe there is something else...something we haven't seen yet, that is above even the Jockeys. A bit far fetched maybe, but still possible.
June 8th, I need you now.
Maybe the Jockeys are just as plebian (sic) as we are...maybe we haven't SEEN the ''GODS'' yet...
HOLY SHIT! That trailer was Awesome!!!
So much new footage! Vickers is awesome love her.
Jockey bodies,Snake thing..I wonder if that will be some sort of proto-type Facehugger? it has little finger like bone structure in its frill.
Helmet melting...dear gods...I cant wait,so much to take in and screen caps to stare at.
bless Ridley.

The reason the engineers wouldn't leave their own technology behind is pretty obvious, not even gonna go there. And I didn't say the pictograms weren't made by humans, I merely suggested humans made them with a little help from the engineer who visited Earth, it's clear to me he intended for us to find them some day.
To be honest, one of the reasons I believe this film is called Prometheus, is because this one being who visited Earth has been aiding us somehow possibly from the beginning. That maybe the Gods we know from the myth who didn't care much for humanity, are the Jockey's in this film who want to destroy us because we were becoming too powerful... just a thought anyway..
Again, notice how distended the jockey's abdomen is in the pictogram, and realize that the same thing happens to Shaw.

I mean 'us'... but again that depends doesn't it. Whatever it is, I can't see it been anything bad in terms of the story, or we could never be. So what do you think it is anyway?? :)
I think that if the pictograms (made by human hands) were deliberately meant to lead Prometheus to LV-223, then it wasn't for a benevolent purpose. In that scenario I still tend to lean towards the fact that it was meant as a trap - any species intelligent enough to follow the pictograms to their source would then be harvested and reaped by the Engineers, and their planets and civilizations would follow. Hence, "there won't be a home to go back to." Scheming god snare.
The Jockeys wouldn't leave their technology behind. They may as well know what...humans can do with such technology. in the book Steel egg...
Spoiler
There was robot that had been left alone in a hangar like place on Iapetus, it was a Jockey Tech. It knew that if humans have had gotten their hands on the technology, It would be bad. So he blew the hangar up.
...So this could apply to the Derelict also.
Already stumbled on a sizeable spoiler today on another site, nothing too massive but enough to broadside me. This is why I'm going to try like hell to avoid spoilage when this starts opening across the globe. I wish they weren't staggering the release, because it's going to get real hairy around here and all over the geek sites soon just trying to avoid the big stuff. I'm actually going to be vacationing in Greece when the film opens internationally, and get back to the States just before the US release date. I usually shrug off getting big spoilers for films, but in this case - yeah.

Yep this is my train of thought too. I mean if you think about it logically any superior being, wether they created us or not, if they wish to remain on top they have to be in control of everything. So, they let us live out our course predetermined by a time they know one day we'll become smart enough to find them, and possibly a threat knowing what we've become, but before we have time to react BANG!!! we're dead... it could be that simple really! The only exception to this rule would be Prometheus if he/she/it does exist, that would be our saviour, but as I've said many times I think there's really something sinister going on.
what is that @ 2:32 of the new preview?
Also around the 2:30 mark, She says "Get it out of me"... Again this goes with my theory that it has a different purpose. And in one trailer in the past, there was something on her I think.
I don't really want to try to piece a rough timeline together because I don't really want to know. But judging by everything we've seen it seems clear both Janek and Vickers stay onboard for the initial expedition. Then, perhaps on the second trip, Janek goes out with the others and someone - Holloway? - ends up very injured. Maybe no one dies in the first trip. David apparently brought back an urn and has time to examine it. Shaw and Holloway seem to have time to get down to business. Everyone seems fairly professional in everything we've seen from the lab scene, and even if that is Milburn getting fried, we've also seen press photos of him in the medbay/lab area or something close to it which suggests he may be there too. But I've no idea.
tl;dr I like that there's multiple expeditions and I need more Rafe Spall before he's got red on him.

Here's the scene im talking about! Look closely at the glass where her head is. There's something there.
I am SO psyched for this film it's ridiculous! I don't care that the Engineer is humanoid and smaller than the one depicted in "Alien", what I've seen of it so far is fantastic and I can't wait to see it in context of the film. I really have zero gripes about anything I've seen yet and am completely willing to go with whatever Ridley and co. are ready to throw at us! Come on June...
I was thinking maybe there was this jockey dude Prometheus who helped us, but not created us. Possibly these other jockeys on lv-223 find out about it and decided to come to earth to fix the problem. But Prometheus-jockey already left a surprise for them on lv-223, in the form of those creatures who started killing them Then, only one jockey survived, put himself into stasis for all the passing millenia, untill now when we wake him up and he decides to finish the job. After that Prometheus-jockey just told us humans that we should never ever go to those coordinates, possibly gave us the back story too so the prometheus myth started.
As for the nature of the jockeys, i thing when they say about them they are engineers, they refer mostly to the fact they are bio-engineers, not terra-formers. Probably this temple is a bio lab of theirs where they do their experiments. Maybe the suits also act like some sort of bio-hazard suit, that protects them against those creatures who can enter them. I got this idea after i saw that hologram with them running through the hallways all dressed up. Why would they need a space suit in their own structure, or in the chair when navigating if the air is breathable and the conditions optimal for life. When David is on the platform with the holograms, the engineers are without their suits so i guess they don't really need them because of the atmosphere, but rather for protection against their creations. There is a leak, they quickly suit up and try to escape but is too late, most of them die. The crew of the Prometheus-ship then find their bodies across the structure. One in the head room decapitated, the others are probably those weird looking things/parts stacked up in the trailer
Did anyone notice that Jerry Goldsmith's motif for the alien planet is used in the trailer? It's during the briefing scene and is especially prominent around the 0:40 mark. Significantly, this seems to be a new arrangement of the theme - it sounds like it is being sung by a soloist. Could this be a piece of the score? And, if so, is this possibly evidence that the planet featured in Prometheus is the same as in Alien?
Chris.
What is at 2:26????
I wonder why they blurred the creature at 2:28 this time through
Every picture from the new trailer is un-viewable. You can not see any new screen grabs...........I personally use imageshack.us to upload stuff.....never a problem and it's free........I know this 'photobucket' was popular w/ the kids and the whole myspace/facebook stuff but the whole "look who's popular, upgrade now" message instead of pictures is REALLY lame.....imageshack.us

Perhaps the crew carry out an experiment and use this on the dead Jockeys brain?
"WEYLAND INDUSTRIES SYNAPSE REESTABLISHER"
"Another remarkable technological feat from Weyland scientists, the Synapse Reestablisher, through precise, minute electrical innervation, awakens dormant neurons in the brain tissue of deceased or dying patients. This delicate technology is highly sensitive and restricted to a select group of doctors and scientists. The 9 existing Reestablishers have been in use for the past 2 years in medical schools and biotech research centers for experimental use only, pending FDA investigation."
Imagine a scene of a dead jockey head coming back to life, it would be completley disturbing and at the same time echo the Ash reanimation scene from Alien, before an adverse reaction of sorts causes the brain to explode?
Probs just my f**ked up imagination in overdrive tho :)
I think that it's a completely reasonable and logical assumption, given what we've recently seen on the Weyland Industries site. Fun to try and tease out what we might see in the film and how it ties into the plot. Good find!

That probably only works if the brain died recently. if the tissue entered putrefaction or whatever the term is, i doubt that device has any use. bassically it dcan only be used if the person died a few hours ago, or if the person is imediately put in a cryochamber after death, to prevent decay of the brain. If that spacejockey died decades or thousands of years ago i doubt it can be brought back to life. It's possible that's why it explodes in the trailer, if they did use the Synapse Reestablisher. So no dead jockey coming back to life.

Further to that thought:
Perhaps the Space Jockey that helped us and guided us was the one who was infected with the Alien spores centuries ago. His ship landed on a moon (LV426) on the other side of the Gas Giant system. The hologram David finds tells us of his story. The Jockeys the Prometheus finds are the ones that infected him and want to destroy/ abuse us.
The one Engineer that gets away is the one that ends up on LV-426. Damn I'm really digging that idea RustiSwordz. Old Space Jockey thought he had escaped only to find out he had an alien growing in him, so he lands on that dust ball Acheron and leaves a warning beacon. That actually seems to fit, I love it.
The little snake thing, reminds me a little of the snake thing in Dreamcatcher. Just the way it's hood opened up.
As I recall, they were nasty little f**kers also :-P
Impressive trailer! Deeply May 30th for France.
The creature looks like more a nématode than a snake...
A nématode is generally a not segmented worm, a snake when to him has scales.
I do not understand people which tries absolutely to believe that this worm is a xeno... It is not a xeno but an independent species. There is only a xeno in the universe?
We can imagine that this temple is an arc grouping all the most dangerous species of the universe... (Can be that the xeno engraving on the wall is an indication which indicates the zone or are contained urns containing the xeno DNA.)

That probably only works if the brain died recently. if the tissue entered putrefaction or whatever the term is, i doubt that device has any use. bassically it dcan only be used if the person died a few hours ago, or if the person is imediately put in a cryochamber after death, to prevent decay of the brain. If that spacejockey died decades or thousands of years ago i doubt it can be brought back to life. It's possible that's why it explodes in the trailer, if they did use the Synapse Reestablisher. So no dead jockey coming back to life.
Anyone remember this? :D

The Dig, one of my favourite games from the mid 90's. Good old days of my Pentium 75Mhz :)
Amazing trailer, really! Now if they included some of the other footage shown in the featurettes, it would be perfect:
- Vickers keeping Holloway at bay with a flamethrower.
- Cloaked figure by waterfall.
- Macro shot of droplet on David's fingertip.
- Shot of temple (with no storm) with sun in the background giving everything a beautiful golden lining.
But I'm more than satisfied, that was a fantastic trailer! And I've seen more than enough now to keep me going until the release.
Awesome, awesome trailer. Watched it last night (and then again on C4+1).
One thing that I found strange was that they blurred out Squiddly-Diddly (a.k.a. Cuddles) in the Shaw in the medi-pod scene. Have they realised that they were showing a little too much of what they're touting as the equivalent of the original chest-bursting scene or are they still working on applying on CGI to it? (I've noticed quite a lot of other scenes in previous trailers have had CGI alterations between the scenes appearing in the original trailers and teasers and the more recent ones). It's a bit of a screw up if it's for the first reason - although I vaguely remember an interview with Scott recently where he said he found that level of scrutiny annoying - Sorry Sir Ridley! - although it's really to be expected when some of the scenes in these trailers last only 3 or 4 frames.
Can't wait for June 1st, although I feel bad for those people in regions that don't get it until a week or more later. I know personally I'd find it hard to stay away from spoiler threads on here in that week between releases. If I find the time in that week, I might try to write up a spoiler-free review, although I have a feeling that those that aren't going to want anything spoiled in that week will simply take a haitus from this and other Prometheus-related forums for a week, so there may not be much point in that.
Sometimes it feels good to be in the U.K. rather than in one of the colonies ;)
On another note, is there a HD download of last night's trailer uploaded anywhere yet? I thought there would be download links for it left right and centre by now, but I don't see any links in this thread so far, or anywhere else for that matter.

Yeah, +1 to that.
I don't think I want to see any more before release day (although if it crops up online or in another trailer, I doubt I'd have the willpower to avoid it tbh).

Am i really the only 1 whos dissapointed at how human the space jockeys are? after all the mystery, its just a tall bald man... in an elephant suit. Was hoping for a proper alien species, with a bit more to it than just some guy.

Incidentally, have you noticed in HD a
worm-like thing makes its way out of the head's top on examining table in Medbay, when that supposed head explodes?
Well spotted. It does look like that hammer headed cobra style worm alien could be erupting out of the head if you go slow through the 1080 trailer. Around 1:55-1:57.

As for squiddy in the medi-pod being blurred out i'm beginning to suspect that the 'tentacles' are in fact hoses to feed the animatronic snake thing. I'm probby wrong though.

That looks like Vickers quarters in the background, turned inside out - notice the barstool.

Could this explain the engineers reaction when he's facing humans aboard his ship? He might be thinking of us as an infected species that should never be allowed to leave Earth and when he realizes that that is exactly what we've done, he decides to go there and destroy us altogether?

I can't match up the suit details with any of the ones the humans are wearing (the shoulder details don't match the heavy industrial looking suits seen either), neither the engineer/jockey design. Right now, I'm thinking it's a creature/humanoid in a suit we haven't seen before otherwise. What that signifies... I don't know...
PS: if the suit looks like that because it has been damaged, well... all bets are off :)
Gonna have to think my theory through for gaps, inconsistences etc. but right now it sort of makes sense. Pandoras Box (which is a vital part of the Prometheus myth) was essentially about unleashing disease on humankind... What a nice 'gift'...
Loool - ninja turtle! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Funny you mention Pandora's Box. I always thought Pandora's box held, like, a lot of hellish things....After watching the trailer again, an idea popped into my head that we will see several monsters attacking the human (We've already seen the Alien snake, SJ, that thing facing the RS) maybe the SJ releases all its creations to destroy the Humans.

I like that idea. Maybe there test them on humans before releasing them on Earth. They could be using us as test subjects for there bio-weapons to exterminate all there threats :-\
Or maybe we accidentally open Pandora's box on our selves.

That would be my guess.
^ These ideas would sort of mirror how we ourselves have tested horrifying weapons technology (chemical, biological, nuclear) on humans, animals etc. to determine the effect (and invent effective countermeasures), wouldn't it?
I'll add this to my theory - the 'gift' in question could be a cure, granted to us from a single rouge engineer (our Prometheus) - a cure to battle and extinguish the 'disease' we were left with by his civilization. I believe Ridley or Lindelof at some time confirmed that the engineer, had faced a horrible punishment aka something like what Prometheus was dealt in the myth. Can anyone confirm that they said something along those lines or am I making it up inside my head? :)
Yeah, it kinda would. Looks like we've had good teachers. ;)
I really like that idea, too. But, in the trailers, this SJ doesn't seem to be a happy one.....Maybe he feels as though we betrayed his sacrifice (Him giving humanity a cure) and decides to kill us..?
The engineer they are facing, might not be our Prometheus (if the theory is sound).
If he was subjected to horrible punishment by his own kind for his crime, he might be long gone by the time Prometheus arrives on the planet.
Who knows... could the 'accident' aboard the inside the temple, potentially wiping out most of the crew, be attributed to them fighting eachother? 'Prometheus' vs the rest? Could he have unleashed the havoc intentionally...?
Getting ahead of myself here I think... Better go shopping - my mind works better when I'm spending :)
(besides, it seems like AvPG is having tech issues right now)
Ahhh. I see. My bad on that one. I think you got a good little idea coming together here, Eva.

(besides, it seems like AvPG is having tech issues right now)
I seem to recall an idea floating around early on, a rumor or something to do with the plot, that the temple was basically a cult worshiping this figure (The giant head) and partaking in some kind of twisted death/sacrificial experiments.
Could still have something to do with it. I rather like the idea of an alien death cult.
Well, I'll jump aboard the dislike for Logan Marshall Green band wagon and say that his delivery of that specific line
"Miss Vickers, is there an agenda you're not telling us about?" is so overacted and heavy handed....blah....
I hope he's killed quickly, no matter how beautiful he is. He's not even in the same league as the rest of the cast in terms of acting ability.
He will probably be one of the last to die.
If you look at the picture of the crew member inside the temple with the acid melting his helmet you will notice the same type of knob on his helmet (left side of the picture) as the person in front of red suit... The darkening may be from the black goo or acid burns...

Not bad, for a human.
That photo that everyone is talking about seems to be from the same scene featuring Vickers standing at the ships entrance with an incinerator, denying entry to a one very fukced up Holloway. This isn't a creature moment in my view, and it also seems to be a stretch to see anything at all in that guys helmet reflection. There's no real reflection to discuss.
All I thought of when I saw this trailer was AVP. Very similar in the beginning. This movie does look really interesting and could very well be on par with the original ALIEN, but the way the short somewhat generic dialogue is presented in the trailer is for some reason a big turn off for me. :-\
The Giant Head does not look like Michael Fassbender. It features thick lips. If anything, it resembles Logan Marshall Green more. I read a n unfinished screenplay about an archaeological expedition where a bunch of scientists explore a cave where they find a godhead statue that resembles one of the explorers. They are flabbergasted that the indigenous people worship him as their god. Obviously based on stories of Spanish conquistadors, how they are mistaken by Meso-American people as Gods returning to rule.

Davids outcry 'They are leaving' + 'Earth' could be him describing what he's watching when the hologram is playing aka the fleeing engineers. Did they actually come to Earth after some horrible event went down, perhaps leaving dangerous parts of their technology behind on Earth to quarantine it? Remember the prologue part with the human growing black veins, looking at his hand?
Could this explain the engineers reaction when he's facing humans aboard his ship? He might be thinking of us as an infected species that should never be allowed to leave Earth and when he realizes that that is exactly what we've done, he decides to go there and destroy us altogether?

Ridley said something of finding a lone survivor on that planet,
lets pretend its not the blue giant.
then this guy you see here in front of the redshirt guy has a older helmet look he could be that lone survivor from the first mission? but a bad guy no doubt cos he has the same look as the thing that is getting medieval in the cargo bay.
This scene reminded me of a scene from AVP:

The scene from AVP I'm talking about is where Charles Weyland is debriefing everyone about the Pyramid and all about the other different cultures that have pyramids, etc. I won't say what else made me think of AVP...
I think its pretty obvious...

I'm pretty sure the inference of "lone survivor" was implying a direct connection to an engineer along the lines of it being a "lone survivor of an dead/ancient race"

The difference between this and AvP, is that this has solid actors giving fairly good performances (LMG notwithstanding)

I actually find Noomi Rapace's line, "...it's an invitation...", to be MUCH more cringe inducing.

Made some new screengrabs from the 1080p version - some new details and a possible reveal, so be warned :)
Remember Ash flipping all those swithes at his control station when they were on the Nostromo bridge. They are fliping switches here too :)

I think I can make out 2 engineer bodies lying in the rubble

This could be the place where something went wrong - it looks like a 'lab incident' with that urn overflow
http://i45.tinypic.com/a4l9oz.jpg
Better look at the exploding head with humanoid features - not the jockey helmet itself
http://i48.tinypic.com/2h3n59c.jpg
Fifield and what could be one of the snake things inside his helmet. Perhaps it explodes while inside
http://i48.tinypic.com/rjpr38.jpg
That looks like Vickers quarters in the background, turned inside out - notice the barstool. This must be aboard the lifeboat, considering that it has been rumored/confirmed that Vickers quarters are essentially part of the aft lifeboat. The Prometheus itself has been destroyed when this scene happens, me thinks.

Perhaps the crew carry out an experiment and use this on the dead Jockeys brain?
"WEYLAND INDUSTRIES SYNAPSE REESTABLISHER"
"Another remarkable technological feat from Weyland scientists, the Synapse Reestablisher, through precise, minute electrical innervation, awakens dormant neurons in the brain tissue of deceased or dying patients. This delicate technology is highly sensitive and restricted to a select group of doctors and scientists. The 9 existing Reestablishers have been in use for the past 2 years in medical schools and biotech research centers for experimental use only, pending FDA investigation."
Imagine a scene of a dead jockey head coming back to life, it would be completley disturbing and at the same time echo the Ash reanimation scene from Alien, before an adverse reaction of sorts causes the brain to explode?
Probs just my f**ked up imagination in overdrive tho :)
I think that it's a completely reasonable and logical assumption, given what we've recently seen on the Weyland Industries site. Fun to try and tease out what we might see in the film and how it ties into the plot. Good find!
To me,this stuff from the Weyland Timeline is just a little funny refference to Dark Star than something Prometheus related.

Bring back Pinback (RIP)!!!
Is the device used to "resurrect" Commander Powell.
I was a little kid when Alien was in the theater. I think the first time I watched it I was about 6 or 7; that was in the very early 80's; it was (I'm assuming) broadcast on Showtime and my Grandparents were watching it.
My grandfather was a mechanical engineer at NASA/DRYDEN - Edwards AFB, CA.
He became the chief engineer (power plant) over the F-15 flight research project after the Saturn V rocket was retired; he came to Edwards as part of the race to the sound barrier, and then to space, after WWII; he was in the Navy and used his educational benefit to get a degree in mechanical engineering.
Not that that had anything to do with anything; he was always a bit of a Sci-Fi aficionado; more correctly, my grandmother was. She LOVED the original "Thing," "Body Snatchers," the whole genre.
Back to my point.
I recall when I was young being able to climb around the rocket test stands that housed the F-1 engines as static test platforms; Alien reminded me very much, or I should say Nostromo reminded me very much of the old rocket test stands on the Rocket Site at Edwards; back in the day you could play around on them without any supervision; I had run of the rocket site pretty much without any controls.
The old control bunkers were completely open; they were solid concrete structures with enormous underground labyrinths of service tunnels, offices, maintenance bays, testing stations, storage areas, et cetera; they were fun to play in - so long as the batteries in the flashlight were fresh..
Again, back on point.
I didn't really understand what it was I was watching when I saw Alien for the first time; I'm pretty sure I wasn't terribly interested; my recollection is that I was having more fun swimming in the pool than watching a boring movie. I do recall seeing the Alien in the scene just after Ripley ditched the cat to run back and attempt to disable the scuttling of Nostromo.
I thought it looked like a big worm and I was unimpressed.
A year or two later I recall reading through my Grandpa's (the other grandpa; an alfalfa farmer turned construction company owner - he literally built Edwards) coffee table books; one was autographed by Chuck Yeager - he was an alfalfa customer of gramps for many years. Anyway, I don't recall if the book autographed was the compilation of "Project Blue Book" of if it was in proximity, but somehow I ended up flipping through it.
I became interested in "aliens."
At school I looked up the word "alien" in the dictionary - no bullshit, there, in the definition was a photograph - MOTHER from Alien (the computer room) was captioned in one of the definitions which referenced "Aliens in popular culture."
So I went to the school library and checked out Alien. The adult version.
It didn't scare me in the slightest. I was fascinated by it. I ended up ordering a copy through the school "book fair," along with several other pieces penned by Alan Dean Foster; "The Black Hole," "Outland," "Dark Star," "The Thing;" maybe a few others too.
I became a fan.
In 1986 Aliens came to the big screen; I was 10. I asked my parents to take me to the show; it was rated R and in that day they were pretty strict about whom they let in. They had to take me in the afternoon - they had to take me out of school so we could go in the afternoon - otherwise the manager wouldn't let me in; he didn't want any "authorities" to see me in the house; he was afraid of being fined, which in that day actually happened. Sometimes they'd even get arrested for "offending the public decency."
I wasn't "scared" by the film; it was just very, very intense. I never had a nightmare about the movie per se; I had nightmares about being trapped and hunted.
For years I slept with the light on, not because I was afraid of the dark, but because I had a very vivid imagination and my mind created complex and disturbing images when I was in between sleep and wakefulness. Even now, sometimes, I will have a 'waking dream' of something hunting me; just the other morning I awoke with a very odd sensation of being watched; the shadow on the ceiling was similar in shape to Geiger's Alien from the first film.
Incidentally, I didn't actually see Alien all the way through for the first time until 87 or 88; "The Warehouse" video rental store came to town about that time.
I found Alien to be profoundly disturbing. I did have nightmares from it.
I "ditched" school to see Alien 3; that got me a week of "restriction;" no TV, no books, no radio, no bow (I was a competitive archer), no horse, no garden (I raised crops and a few animals for FFA projects), no HAM radio, no CAP; I had to sit in my room with not a thing to do from when I finished my homework until I went to school the next day.
By the time Alien Resurrection (which I detested and still detest) came out I had been medically retired from the US Army and had moved to Tucson AZ with my new bride and we were expecting a child; its pretty bizarre when One can actually account a bit of his life's history based upon which point in his life he experienced certain parts of a large and complex story.
I am likely able to, from memory and without cue, recite any line from Alien or Aliens. Recently I took Goldsmith's Alien soundtrack and rewrote the most memorable part for The Classical Guitar; I play classical, Spanish, Flamenco, Gypsy, et cetera; I transcribed it into a Flamenco style known as "Tremolo;" its disturbing and disquieting to play or listen to at night.
Watching the most recent trailer (in this thread) I began to experience the same feelings I had many years ago when I saw Alien for the first time; I was slightly disturbed. I'm sure it has something to do with the similar sound effects used for both films, the verdeen [sp] cinema style, lighting, tempo, pace.
I'm hoping it will be very... cerebral, instead of "gore and bore" like Alien Resurrection. Whomever (the f**king retarded director) came up with the idea that the Alien should growl and howl like an underage girl having a prom-night dumpster baby should be beaten, have his testicles shocked with 480/3Ø 400Hz, have his nipples cut off, shat on, and his Director's Guild card seized and destroyed - and not necessarily in that order - I was incensed by the insult to the franchise.
Alien 3 had potential. It was almost a good movie. Because it was an actual "Alien" movie I have required myself to like it, even if just a little, and when the "Quadrillogy" was released the "Directors Cut" made it almost pleasant to watch.
I am in great hopes that Prometheus will be a very worthy successor, or in this case 'predecessor', of Alien.
It seems to be quite dark and foreboding; I have been anticipating this movie quite eagerly since February 2009 when my eldest sister sent me an e-mail linking to an article where Ridley Scott spoke about making an "Alien Prequel; as the release date approaches I find myself becoming a bit excited; I think I'll do my best to get into the first IMAX 3D showing in Milwaukee.
I don't get excited often; excitement usually leads to disappointment. Sometimes even to premature ejaculation - though that's not a problem I've ever suffered from!!! - rolleyes - but seriously, I'm actually genuinely excited about this film; there has not been anything to hit the cinema that I was even remotely interested in seeing for the last several years; its been at least 3 since I went to a cinema; I haven't found any reason to go with all the tripe that's been shown recently.
I'm really hoping this either gives "closure" to the entire Alien universe, or opens it wide for a phenomenal expansion that doesn't dip into the ridiculous AVP nonsense.
I read one of the first "AVP" comic books; I think it was the first and only comic book I have ever read; I was in the Army, stuck in the back of a C-130 heading to who-the-f**k-know's-where with my TA-50, The Pig, my -10B, two weeks of MRE's and 23 buddies; someone had brought that comic; I had brought Hammond Innes "Wreck of the Mary Deare," and Kornbluth's "Not This August."
At the time I was disgusted.
In 2001 I was a project manager (LSS SYSTEMS) at the Intel Fab-22 construction project in Chandler, AZ; walking through the Fry's Electronics I saw "Aliens vs. Predator" for Windows; WTF, right? I enjoyed the game.
I liked AVP 2 as well; it was fun, but not anything really special.
I detested and continue to detest the AVP movies; I'd rather watch a porno of Strawberry Shortcake ass-raping the Purple Pie Man with a 34" black rubber spatula taped to the front of a colonoscope. I'm not sure if "colonoscope" is a word, but I like the sound of it. Of course, I'm meaning the camera that the doctor puts up your butt to get a look at your large bowel; I had that done last year and I think the doctor enjoyed it a lot more than I did.
When she telephoned to me to let me know that my test results were favorable, she asked me to have supper with her; I replied "you've already raped my ass, so I guess I may as well get the free meal too..."
Sorry, I digress.
I'm looking forward to a movie that has substance to it; no more stupid jumping out of mysteriously moving and changing pyramid caverns and tunnels while oozing ichor that is glowing from Cerenkov Radiation while some-or-other bully throws some kids car keys in the gutter.
I've seen movies like that before... Debbie Does Dallas, Deep Throat, The Muppet's Take Manhattan... the works.
I'm also hoping that Disney gets off their heads and pulls a redoux of The Black Hole out of their asses; I loved the original film; its my second favorite (Alien being the first) and its a very, very close second. That creepy Maximilian robot is the creepiest, scariest, meanest robot ever; Ash would say about him "...completely unfettered by morals, religion or common sense; he'd kill you just to watch your guts fly off of his spinning sewage grinder hands."
Anyway, I think its time for my Thorazine and lithium; er, I mean "time for a beer and a slice of pizza."
Whatever. :o
Ok, can i say something about the exploding head? I know it's a 1% chance that this might be it, but here it goes.
Could that head, be, the head of one of the crew members on which the helmet has melted? I mean, it does look like a collar around his neck, from which the helmet is attached, and probably there is the entire body there, and we only see the head because they are trying to freeze him for the trip back home, and then, boom, the head burster comes out the skull and there you go, a creature on board, without knowing it was there.

Of course, man. Post anything you like about anything you want. I don't believe there is a body below the head. It just seems to close to the floor for that. But, I do like the whole "Creature comes out of the head" bit.

yeah, now that i looked muck closer, I think it is the same head that they study before it explodes, because, it looks like it's standing on the same tray as the "jockey" head, so, yeah, I think they are trying to break the jockey helmet to see what's inside, and it just explodes, maybe from an alien or maybe under some pressure, or something similar to a microwave oven.
Nice to come back with a clear head lol :)
BigTicket is right about 'the visitor' - the helmet details matches Noomis helmet, so it's a human suit.

From what I can tell, these guys returning seem to have intact helmets. I can't see Milburn of Fifield among them. Did they leave them behind in the temple? (for them to return to the Prometheus on their own...changed and very pissed off?)

OK, not the best diagram in the world but you get my drift. :)
The guy who had his face burnt off as the helmet melted into his face...?
^ that could be... them engineers like them skulls so much they decorate their temples with them...
It could be Milburns corpse with his melted face then and whoever is carrying/supporting it, is out of the frame in that short clip. That sounds like the most likely scenario...
I gotta say, this trailer got me hyped up about the movie more than anything else, and there has been a lot of great assets to the film already, from great director to terrific designers. Cant wait to immerse in this experience and see this seemingly great movie in 3D
Another theory about the exploding head:
a) Its one of the prometheus crew who has for some reason his head has become dessicated/petrified/ whatever you call it very rapidly.
b) It belongs to another alien race that has fallen into the same trap as the Prometheus crew just many, many years before.
I think the exploding head is from the space jockey helmet. I think it explodes because there is one of those cobra-like worm critters that infects Millburn in it. I think you can see it coming out of the head at around 1:56 of the 1080 HD version.
The real question is, how is this worm snake able to turn us into zombies? And with it basically shooting into our bodies, what is keeping us moving a long without us dying ??
The exploding head is what they find inside the space jockey helmet that they brought on board the ship. In one scene you can see them standing around the space jockey head on the table. The scene with the exploding head shows the same people standing in the same places in the same room...

Nice to come back with a clear head lol :)
BigTicket is right about 'the visitor' - the helmet details matches Noomis helmet, so it's a human suit.
http://i47.tinypic.com/2vs53d0.jpg
It was the shoulder that threw me off, but it's probably very damaged. Milburns suit design doesn't look like that at all.

From what I can tell, these guys returning seem to have intact helmets. I can't see Milburn of Fifield among them. Did they leave them behind in the temple? (for them to return to the Prometheus on their own...changed and very pissed off?)

The reflection stil bugs me... It could be what someone would look like, exposed to the black goo smack in the face...?

Great layout of how things might play out. Add to that, Vickers approaching with the flame thrower and the footage we've already seen of her using it on the ramp they are standing on.
Has to be Fifield (or at least who we suspect was once Fifield ... now the scorched rampaging cargo bay monster.) Looks like Vickers gives him the initial flaming and the shot of the suit rising in front of the stunned man is him. The man is stunned because, well ... who could survive being flame thrower-ed?

Clearly a face in there. Or we are being tricked into seeing what we think is a face by the filmmakers. Look at all the fog and haze around the table. Looks like there was some 'suspicious activity' from within so they had to 'freeze it' as a cautionary/defensive strategy.

Are we seeing a head bursting stage in a proto-alien or Jockey life cycle? Or just the head exploding from being frozen. And the temperature change didn't sit with it? So many questions. I love it. ;D

The "part of the suit" on that alleged exploding human head is actually part of the jockey's mask, Eva.

Besides, I believe that to be an engineer head - not a human head from inside the jockey helmet. I think I stated that from the beginning...
Davo1980 has a good point - the reflection doesn't

I seem to recall an idea floating around early on, a rumor or something to do with the plot, that the temple was basically a cult worshiping this figure (The giant head) and partaking in some kind of twisted death/sacrificial experiments.
Could still have something to do with it. I rather like the idea of an alien death cult.
Interesting fact: a "Juggernaut" originally was a Hindu temple wagon.
I think the original jockey RAN AWAY (from who/what?) with his creations "humans" and the pictographs show where he brought us from.
hes warning us to stay away.

can't wait up to see that. I don't wanna know how many guys will throw off their popcorn when the head pops.
:laugh:
I have an idea about the snake creature... Maybe it is the trunk of the space jockey.
Just look at the shape. It's the same. Maybe it can fuse to it's victims mouth/nose and offer oxygen much like the face hugger did?
Can someone get a pic of the Jockey skull/helmet and a pic of the snake next to each other? I don't have any pics

Our ancient civilizations often had an obsessive fascination with death, in some instances their entire culture revolved around it, so yeah... an alien death cult works for me :)

Good grabs. Plenty of biological room for it to 'open up more' and have some functioning nasty parts.
Facehugger sans legs. Maybe it preforms a similar function.

Clearly something is meant to come out of the vertical slit in the "head". I don't know if that is biting mouth or an ovipositor but there is an opening for something
Carlos Huante: Ohhh look, I can design a Lamprey with a a faux cobra hood...look, they form a pair of wings on each side of the head.
Giger: Get the F**k out of my house, and stop calling me.
It's not a human head, it's the Engineer's. Who is humanoid sans the suit. Scott's only been hinting at this for decades.

The exploding head belong to an Engineer. Most likely the head of the decapitated engineer they encounter. They probably found the head in the helmet, so the engineer was decapitated whilst he was wearing his helmet. Its so obvious, surprised people are still debating it.

If Holloway is mutating into a Jockey
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa... Whoa. Whoa.
Why is this where everyone jumps? I seriously haven't heard anyone give a rationale for this particular course. Yeah, something jacked up is going on with Fifiled (we can see part of his head is clearly caved in, in the axe shot) but what is going on? No idea...
... But why does everyone jump to "They're turning into jockeys!" ?
I mean, I don't go with the other theory either that it's some kind of a virus fusing their suits and their persons together into some kind of a freak mutant proto alien thing. Kinda freaky idea, but no I don't buy it.
I don't think we've actually seen the final stage of whatever these changes are, and I still am more inclined to believe that they're not mutating, so much as suffering side effects of the creatures being inside of them.
been saying that since day one

No they are not, it even says in that French mag interview that Weta are doing ALL the creature effect.
You sure? It doesn't look like CG to me.

You sure? It doesn't look like CG to me.
It looks exactly like cgi to me, you can tell by the way it moves and the speed of it. Check the French mag thread, its only a few threads down.
Edit: This is from the interview -
Richard Stammers Visual effect supervisor :
Weta is doing all the xeno like creatures.
There were sculptures on set so the actors can react but those monsters will be full cgi.People should of learned not to believe everything they are told, especialy crap like 'there will be amost no cgi in this film', The Thing remake is a prime example.
The tail going into the suit does look a bit CG, but it just standing there and then moving forward looks animatronic to me. So either they did a reeeeaaaallly good job with the CGI, or they have various kinds of effects at play.
i edited my post above with the quote, ALL the creatures are FULL cgi.

I think the original jockey RAN AWAY (from who/what?) with his creations "humans" and the pictographs show where he brought us from.
hes warning us to stay away.
good idea.
Remember when Ridley said that the Alien was just a member of an advanced species, just not educated and therefore feral?
Maybe he's using that here. Maybe the jockey we see will be some kind of feral, uncivilized remnant of something that had been greater.
It might be a bit obvious and close to what had been done, but he does say that the crew will meet with some uncivilized behavior from a civilized species...

My take on the "head":
(no pixel editing or "painting", just contrasts and curves)

Well LarsVader, I don't know where you found that frame in the youtube feed but that is a compeltely clear human face. It even looks identical to the giant head in terms of the exaggerated "planes-of-the-face" angles of the nose, brow and lips. Very fine-art like features.
QuoteRemember when Ridley said that the Alien was just a member of an advanced species, just not educated and therefore feral?
Dan O'Bannon said that.
BTW, if you haven't noticed the guy whom all of which refer to as "red shirt" , that must be a young Peter Weyland (whom all of a sudden becomes young again? or perhaps a clone?) welcomes our new infected friend.

The urns contain glass ampules that contain dna material not creatures themselves.
Just check previous trailers where the black goo (probably some shock absorbant liquid) was not yet added.

The exploding head belong to an Engineer. Most likely the head of the decapitated engineer they encounter. They probably found the head in the helmet, so the engineer was decapitated whilst he was wearing his helmet. Its so obvious, surprised people are still debating it.
It is maybe obvious for you..
People have different opinions/points of view..
Seriously dude, what else can it be?!
(1) The head looks identical to the giant head statue
(2) Crew encounter the body of a decapitated engineer
(3) The hologram we see in the recent trailers show the engineers escaping from something. They were all suited up, helmets on. The decapitated engineer could have been an unlucky one who got his head chopped off before he could escape. We know the crew find the helmet of this engineer, so if he was decapitated whilst wearing his hmet its only simple logic to assume his head is also in the helmet. :/
I'm 99% sure that is the head of an engineer.
We know that the mohawk member of the Prometheus crew gets infected with something, that mutates him and drives him insane. Its possible that same thing happened to the decapitated engineer, he got infected, went nuts and one of his own chopped his head off. It would also explain the mutated look to his face.
Cool trailer. Jockey Cobra... ehh. We'll see.
Glad the jockeys seem to wear their masks outside of the pilots seat by the looks of the hologram. But the redub of Noomi during the "no home to go back to" scene is cringe worthy. So out of place.

Agreed.
The crew brings back an Engineer helmet, that exploding head is on the same table that the helmet, the actors are the same and are wearing the same clothes as whene they are looking at the helmet.
That is obviously the same scene.
But i can understand people who want to see more than what there is tho...
BTW those Engineer's eyes are very very very human like...
Don't know if i like it.

Centuries/millennia of data rot perhaps?
From a practical, filmmaking perspective it's a smart choice. Very old-school, obscuring the subject. Elephant-faced humanoids probably look pretty silly running around.

Finally got through all 40 pages!!
Everything has been said which is good so all that is left is anticipation of the best movie of this summer!
Finally picked up the whole saga so far on blu and have indulged in trying to get through it all again before the big day!
I do agree that I really do not think we have seen almost anything yet. The big question is do any of them actually get off the planet at all because unless one can fly a jockey ship I'd have to say No.
Anyone know when the official premiere is?

Very possible! Jockeys running around with breathing masks can be pretty ridiculous. But as a messed up hologram, it adds a more mystery and creepiness to the whole subject.
Ghost Engineer - just how could that name be given to one of the holo-engineers? Maybe its a type of Mass Effect VI interface with the Engineer holograms, like a narrator to what happened?

Besides - new theory:
Davids outcry 'They are leaving' + 'Earth' could be him describing what he's watching when the hologram is playing aka the fleeing engineers. Did they actually come to Earth after some horrible event went down, perhaps leaving dangerous parts of their technology behind on Earth to quarantine it?
Sorry to bring this up so many pages later, I just read this...
I think he says, "They
were leaving," not "They
are leaving." I'm thinking we sent signals into space that were picked up, and the Jockeys were on their way to Earth when something bad happened. Whether it was an experiment/manufacturing that went wrong, or an attack by another species, I really don't know, but that's my official story guess before June 8.

I agree that the trailer is spliced together to make us think one thing... when in fact the words are from different sections of the movie.

Davids outcry 'They are leaving' + 'Earth' could be him describing what he's watching when the hologram is playing aka the fleeing engineers. Did they actually come to Earth after some horrible event went down, perhaps leaving dangerous parts of their technology behind on Earth to quarantine it?
Sorry to bring this up so many pages later, I just read this...
I think he says, "They were leaving," not "They are leaving." I'm thinking we sent signals into space that were picked up, and the Jockeys were on their way to Earth when something bad happened. Whether it was an experiment/manufacturing that went wrong, or an attack by another species, I really don't know, but that's my official story guess before June 8.
Nope.
He says "They're leaving." Clear as day. :)
Which could be narration to the hologram showing them running...
i think it shows too much...

Yeah, but that doesn't change the fact that the line was in fact "They're leaving." Not "They were leaving."
Also, given the element of desperation between Noomi and David I venture to guess it's about the juggernaut firing up and leaving.

I wonder if that bald guy undergoing that transformation of sorts, is the jockey in Prometheus. I just don't know what the saucer shaped craft has to do with this, other than perhaps being another race who that guy steals the technology from. Then from his own newly attained knowledge and technology engineers more beings like him and creates life on earth perhaps.

That would be a revelation wouldn't it! Jockey steals the 'fire' from another more powerful race. Said race destroys Jockey's people. Jockey goes into hideing. We come along and steal his tech and find out at the end the tech we steal comes from someone else more powerful.
I think what has happened to him is he's been cursed with some sort of bio weapon by the saucer people which he stole and then gave the technology to us. Who knows, maybe his whole punishment thing thats inline with the Prometheus story is that he is forced to turn into an xeno,orph every nite. Lol.
I said months ago I thought it was possible that the Jockey/Engineer was in the role of Prometheus... and that there may be a more powerful race of Alien... but was quickly rebuked. Glad to see others feel this idea is plausible. Not saying it will happen, but the waterfall with giant saucer leaves room to wonder.
I once was watching a documentary on beavers with my brother.
I asked him, "Wow, what are the doing?"
He replied, "They are building a dam."
"Where?"
"On the river."
The beavers could have built that dam years before I saw the video.

Beavers are amazing...the most remarkable ones live in Croatia, near the town of Split.
But, I'm sure everyone's heard of the 'Split-beaver'...

Is that the same place where you can find the bearded clan?

Ballzanyas? I actually don't like it, It's sorta "jerk-offish". I would go off on a tirade but if you watch the Malibu chief scene from the Big Lebowski, You'll understand what my opinion is of his screen name and signature..
And yes this is sorta like my opinion, man.
Any word if we getting another trailer or is this it?

You're out of your element.
I think we're fresh out of trailers. We're a matter of weeks from release after all. :)
Does anybody want take a wild guess who dies first?

Interesting.
First - we need rules and conditions. The person must be a human being. No space jockeys. Second, the person must be fully dead - not zombie dead.
I would say Milburn. Face gets burned off yo.
And please no one say Shaw. It's not funny.
I think Fifield will die first
I can't wait to see what this alien is

Fifield's fighting in the hanger whilst a couple of bodies are burning. Can't see it being him. Gotta be Milburn*, he goes into his encounter unconcerned. (If that's him with the face melt - some say you can see the frames of his glasses but it could be the outline of his eye sockets).
*Unless someone dies in Hypersleep.

* It's definitely Milburn getting the face melty stuff, the frames are pretty perfectly visible.
in an early interview Kate Dickie said that her charachter dies first "right after" (in 20-30 minutes) hypersleep by an alien lifeform
and Fifield's extraordenary look is too cool to be wasted just like this or he becomes "boss monster"
