Exclusive: New Prometheus Trailer Footage

[Kol]

In this sequence, we also see balls of fire raining from the sky. It is obvious that these are debris from the explosion on the jockey ship in another sequence.

isn't that ship firing at a astronaut?

I certainly hope not...

i think you'll be disappointed!

Hey everybody. new here

Sorry for my grammar if I make any mistake, but if you take in consideration that I´m Spanish, the fact that you can actually understand me its allready a lot. 

I am not really expecting a lot from Prometheus really...I mean, after what they did with the saga, and the direction of Scott´s career, is not really promising. But I have to say that the teaser (the few we can see in it), f**king rocks. But it´s not the first time I see a trailer or teaser that makes me go nuts and then the movie is just a pile of shit. I remember the 300 trailer with the NIN music for example.

Anyway, I think that most of us, as true fans of the saga, will enjoy anything that is Alien related and that shows a minimum respect for the fans, the saga, and the whole thing; And who better than Scott for doing it? (We are not talking about PW Anderson or that brothers, people who still have to direct something close to a movie....) Even Jeunet I think was respectfull with the saga, but he missed the whole tone of it...damm)

My biggest UPS so Far:

- It´s Alien related, there is no doubt of it.

- Gigger and Cobb seem to be in it.

- The trailer and what we seee on it: The Space Jokey Room, The Derelict or something REALLY similar, some kind of belly burst etc.

- Scott (50% chance he does something at least, decent and repectfull)

- Practical effects. ( at least they say so...).

- Idris Elba (Stringer Bell kicking ass on space!)

My Biggest DOWNS:

- Existencialism-new age-divinity shit can end like the biggest wank Ridley ever had.

- The Face, Plot leaks about earth, Iceland etc. I don´t want to see Earth or even be near to it. By the way, Don t know why but the face makes me thing bout Coronel Kurtz.

- CGI - I just Can´t stand any monsters, characters (or anything that breaths) done by CGI. I mean, for me, it looks exactly like Roger Rabbit movie. (but at least this one was funn).

-Scott (50% chance he wanks all over us).


Whatever it is, at least we are allready enjoying it now, right? Not many movies do it.

Nice post man, made me laugh quite a bit !

Totally agree with you re the CGI - with creatures/characters its almost always so blatantly obvious that youre looking at CGI and I mostly hate it too.

I dont know why so many on here are hoping for yet another 'Alien' movie though ??!!
Even more why so many want to see the same Giger Alien in Prometheus too ??!!

Scott already did this brilliantly in the original 'Alien' and Cameron did an absolutely outstanding job with the follow-up.
Been there done that seen that so why want more of the same ?

I'm personally very happy to see a new direction for this move with, as they say, loose ties to the Alien movie, perhaps some hints or explanations as to the origins of our and the Alien species, without going over the same ground of chases down dimly lit corridors by acid bleeding homicidal xenomorphs and dangerously unpredictable alien loving androids.

Id be perfectly happy to not see a solitary original Giger Alien in this movie and I'm not expecting to see one either.

Ridley Scott doing big budget sci-fi is fantastic news in itself and I for one ceretainly dont want to see whats already been done superbly in the past, pointlessly reprised today. Thankfully it doesnt appear that this will be the case at all and I really cant wait to see this film

[Xenomorphine]

If she is pregnant and she happens to be an android because of the whole ASH BISHOP CALL DAVID ELIZABETH thing. Then there is your biomechanoid for sure. Alien Dna, Human/Robot Dna.

You realise machines don't have DNA, right?

i prefer the egg metamorphosis over the parasite/queen method any day. hoping its in the movie.

The two are not mutually exclusive. Combining them would be the best of both worlds: In an absence of a Queen, it's used to create one or more Queen facehuggers. Then, once a Queen comes along, it's replaced by the more efficient 1 host = 1 birth rule, instead of 2 hosts = 1 birth.

I really like the Queen's design and think she fits perfectly well with the Alien mythos. But if they don't allow for a single adult to be capable of breeding, there's no real threat if one makes it to a populated world. It could kill a lot of people, but... Eventually would be either quarantined or killed.

I've read rumours that 'Alien 3' was going to feature it, but that this never got filmed. A shame if so.

Ridley often said, on interviews, that the capability that one would use you to breed was what set it apart from other monsters. Made it seem like "more than a tiger", I think was his original interview quote.

Aliens need to return to being both excruciating and disturbing in a way we haven't seen since Lambert's haunting death-over-speakers scene - and I'd bet you could get away with something just like that in a PG-13 rating, too. The ambiguity was what made it unsettling.

The Face, well, its too earth relik type for me. It reminds me to piramids and maya and Angkor What etc. and I really hate those pyramid-maya-alien theories. They are sooooo boring.

And, what, natural evolution is exciting? Awe inspiring?

Nothing wrong with it! The whole Lovecraftian thing, 'the elder gods' and all of that. 'Alien Versus Predator' was a bit too superficial, but some of the most iconic visuals it had were of the historical flashbacks. They helped to give it a sense of consequence it had otherwise lacked.

lower your expectations, you'll jinx it!

Actually, I would agree. Please cast your minds back to the 'red band' advert for 'Requiem'! Look at how many of you were heralding it as something special, back then.

Of course, even the nice visual aspect of it was ruined by the way the finished product was darkened... At least it looked nice on those very first adverts.

Space jockey is back

Not without that trunk being fixed to the ribs, it's not.

Existencialism-new age-divinity shit can end like the biggest wank Ridley ever had.

Not a Blade Runner fan then? 

I really like the Queen's design and think she fits perfectly well with the Alien mythos.

The Queen fouled it up IMHO, just in the way that you said; there is no threat. A single alien becomes a snarling, drooling 'eat-my-shotgun' joke. You can have whole armies of them, and they still suck. The Queen is a brilliant movie monster, but the original alien is more than just a monster; it's a nightmare... we were never meant to understand it, and never meant to be able to kill it.

The fear factor in ALIENS owes so much to what the original film created; that unimaginable horror that would occur if an alien ever got its claws into you (poor dear Lambert). But ALIENS dumbed that down... I remember the first time I saw the sequel being properly thrilled but ultimately disappointed that all of the victims were neatly gathered up and cocooned to make for more aliens, to capture more humans, to make more aliens, to capture more humans... all for a giant Queen alien that Ripley could of one-shotted if she had only aimed her grenade launcher a bit to the left.

There is a better story here, one that has needed to be told for a long time. Prometheus isn't just an ALIEN film, it is the ALIEN film.

-Chris.

I don't think it's THE space jockey ship, not the Derelict from ALIEN.
It's another ship from the same class.

In the trailer when he's standing up, he's not on Earth.
You can see that a Spacesuited character from the Prometheus crew is watching it.

My guess about what's happening.
The ship (wich was underground) is about to take off for Earth (and cause the end of it for some reason), in front of some crew from the Prometheus. In mid air something explode inside of it, or i rather believe that the Prometheus (or Magellan shuttle if it does exist) flies into it. Making it crashes, with flying debris from both ships everywhere (the landgear debris from the iceland pics).

About the Urns, it's seems to me that the green goo is some sort of preservation gel.
David seems to remove something from the Urn and there's this goo all over it.

just found this, dunno if its been posted before though but an interesting read, even if it is fanscript....

[ChrisPachi]

...chased by the former Meredith Vickers who is now the gigantic, horrific Star Beast.

At least it has a sense of humour.

-Chris.

[robbritton]

For ages I've been reasonably convinced that the Jockey as we know it is in fact some kind of prison for one of the human characters who is then chestbursted. It overides the 'grown out of the chair' thing if the whole thing is just some ceremonial torture suit and was never alive at all.

I hate the idea myself, but I just get this feeling that that is where they're going. I hope I'm wrong!

That would make the human encased in the suit about 10 foot tall then ?

I dont think so somehow

I never said skin-tight! although anything making me wrong on this one only cheers me up! I WANT the jockey to be a creature rather than a suit or cocoon - i can just see it being something of that ilk, though.

ben foster isn't in the movie, so this synopsis is fake like all the other one's before.
AND iit is just a copy + paste synopsis taken from IMDb.

what i am curious about is the giant pilot-head in the ampule room, which has a striking similarity to guy pearce.





maybe the prototype of these....?

The last image is not working

I think it could very well resemble Guy (if he plays the Engineer), though the mouth is a bit too narrow on the giant head compared to his.

[Engineer1]

I don't see the ressemblance but I definitly believe that Pierce is the Engineer.

I think that in one of the Interviews Scott said he had an awesome time with the main cast, naming Rapace, Theron,Fassbender and Pierce. And i found pretty weird that there is absolutely no info about his role.

Pierce as the charisma and the talent to be scary and charming.
He has a pretty devilish smile when he wants to.
H'es gonna make a great bad guy.

Looks nothing like him IMO. Though I do like the Easter Island link.... now there's a nice idea! The head spins.

-Chris.

[ThisBethesdaSea]

The Ampule Room head clearly has caucasian features, which are general to white males, so I can see that there'd be a resemblance to Guy but that's where it ends.

[Bigticket]

i was just wondering.. there is a time travel concept in this movie, so what if the big face is the face of one of the crew members ? what if one of them becomes space jockey in te future, and what they discover is something one of them created.... damn, i need some sleep.

The Easter Island heads had bodies buried beneath the ground...
