Finally !!!
Can't wait. Great tease!
what the hell is this what fassbender is taking from the ampule?
maybe we get spores as "aliens".
did i just watch a trailer for a trailer?
oh... :o just had an eye-gasm!!!
Damn it ! this was the most mean tease jet. I wanted to see a trailer. I hoped for footage and again they're making me wait :'( Loving it :laugh:
23 seconds, guy grabbing him head. Looks almost like his face is being burnt away.
Very excited. Fox, those teases. And that very Alien wailing.

Yup. 8)
Can't wait, balls to Christmas, this tops it! :D
Interesting. If you pause it (use the 720p resolution) at 00:17 and 00:18 mark, you can clearly see that the "green goo" has some kind of structure/organism inside it. And at least part of it looks something similar to the tail of the facehugger creature we all know and love.
Quicktime is messing about. Screen caps, anyone?
Darkoo your doing it again, finding great new stuff about the movie ;D.

no, no.
it contains something in it, which we all thought was just goo before.
it has a structure and when fassbender takes it nearly out, it reacts in somekind of way. it almost looks like breathing, but i think it's just "movement" causes from pulling it from the urn.
primordial soup, maybe? alien spores, like in the first draft of alien? who knows... *gähn*

You need to look at the screenshot when Fassbender has pulled it out farther, or look at the video and pause it. There is definitely a structure that looks like segmentation or vertebrae forming a spine / tail
EDIT:
This...

I noticed that in the one screen cap where it shows fire and and people walking, the space suits look bulkier and more industrial...i like it.
Shit me, im stoked even more now, roll on thursday :D

it looks 100 % like bone, but i wouldn't go that far saying it is a tail, or something like that.
by the way: that thing reminds me of that:

It reminded me of a facehugger tail as well. CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

sorry, i didn't knew the word spine before. and it looks similar to a "rückgrat"!
By the way, if that was acid blood, the helmet would be melting, when in fact, what appears to be melting is the human beneath the helmet. We'll see however.
Whoa, man. Ridley on the set... priceless! Want to see more obviously hahaha.
Kol is from Schnitzelland as well ;)
Oh damn! Firt christmass gift comes on thursday :D That looks great. Can`t wait.

Is that acid blood on is helmet?

David pulling ... what from the goo?
Looks like what ever was burrowing into the ceiling from low res trailer we already saw. There is a motion gif floating around somewhere.
I'd describe it as a semi-translucent chestburster with a totally different mouth structure. Like a round orifice that opens like a sphincter and has a second extending appendage (like the alien tongue) only it has a singer at the end.
David either is pulling up four of them, grouped together ... or it's one and he's pulling up by it's needle tongue ... which will be how he pricks his finger ... (?)
It's interesting they at going with translucent opaic alien again as that was the original idea in "alien".
i knew they were going to release something prometheus today! looks good not amazing. thats just over hyping it.
When ever I see a trailer/teaser of anything that is Alien or Predator at first it always looks extremely stunning because it just so brand new.

I must have missed that in the low res trailer... screenshot anyone?
There is something in the goo... it's probably a good idea to just put it back in and put the lid on ;-)
Also nice random hole in one of the rooms, do you think they will lower someone down there with a winch? :-P
Great that the teaser features an effevescent fizzing like the alien emitted when tackling Parker and Lambert. The screens behind David look nicely old school 4:3 ratio too. Amongst so many more epic visuals.

I'm also seeing a burster more than the face hugger others are. It's an interesting contrast the well defined, little beaked creature shown in Kane's xray. A (maturing?) jellyfish-esque bruster basically hidden in the goo would certainly seem to cause less concern than eggs or huggers would.
4:3 is already old school?

Nope, not unless they're using Goldsmith's score. Hopefully it'll be similar though.

It does look like a chestburster. Upside down. Looks rather Queen like.

It looks like something is inside his suit...maybe some sort of facehugger? a little version of it ?
I keep looking at what David pulls out of the cylinder...and the only conclusion I have come to is...well I think could be the first stages of the egg, maybe. I could be seeing things, but the top part looks like the opening of the eggs, and the 'spine' and dangly bits could just be something the egg uses to feed itself, I believe in the original movies the eggs all had veins underneath them...

Looks very nice. Was wondering if he was going for Blade Runner-Esque wonder or Alien-Esque terror.
Got the answer now. Love that they used the tones from the original Alien trailer. Really works quite well.
I am skeptical but hopefull right now.

C´mon guys..no egg,no facehugger,no chestbuster.
That shit can be anything.
As I first stated, it looked to me (and I use the SUBJECTIVE term "looked") like segments from vertebrae, like from a spine or a tail. THE POINT IS, however, that it is not simply green goo, like we all thought from the original leaked trailer (given the bad image quality). There is definitely organic structure within that green goo. That is all.

Great find, that is very different from the first teaser.
NOTE TO MODS: Can this get its own thread?

bad thing is tht in the real trailer we will not see any glimpse of that organic structure
Looks pretty

Guy? I'm seeing Guy but it could just about be anyone, really.
No-one else mentioned this yet?

And in Youtube form, just for convenience.
I have to be honest. This caught my eye much more than the first preview. Dear God...
I think torn up guy is Dallas. No blood.
I just came big time, OMG it's been a while sinds i've been sooo excited about a movie :-X
Jizz... jizz everywhere.

"THIS FILM IS NOT YET RATED"
It's not much of a shocker at all. Rating is usually the final processes a film goes through as the ratings board has to see the film in it's final form in order to accurately classify it.
It looks like that is some sort of Alien tech control console in the holo display pic, with a control chair with its back to us, anyone else agree?
Also noticed a human character in the middle manipulating the display?
Oh and "The cast find an establishment which is not what we expect it to be, what we find in it, dangerous elements that in a heartbeat, are capable of eviscerating all of them"
Chiling statement.
Good thing the hologram is the space jockey's and not the humans'.

Not calling it a shocker I'm just saying with all the debates over rating I thought somebody would have mentioned it beforehand.
By the way, is it just me, or does anyone else think that Ridley Scott looks damn good at age 79! I have seen people in their late 40's / early 50's that look older then him. But then again, I am 45 and could pass for 35. Must be good genes. My parents (both still healthy and hearty) look much younger than they are. :)

Well spotted! :D It was the first thing I thought of when I saw that bit in the (sort of) tralier :) Funnily enough I looked through all the concept art for ALIEN the other day. I wonder if there is anything else they'll use? And why not, plenty of great material there :)

Well it's just pretty much a given at this point in the film's production. For me, pointing out that the film has not yet been rated is just pointing out the painfully obvious. It doesn't provide us with any new information to further discuss the point, it just brings up all the old talk over again with all us still in the exact same spot. :P
Not that I'm having a go or anything, just my thoughts on the matter. ;D

He's 74, but yes looks good.
I wonder if the "One day to go" version is lurking about on that .ru link site, maybe even the actual trailer itself is there?

I really hope the threat doesn't turn out to be some sort of sentient gas cloud or some super intelligent virus. I fear whatever the threat is won't match the craziness of the Xenomorphs. Still I'm interested to see what all of this is and how it ties in with the universe we know and love.

I thought everyone noticed there was a creature in it, from way back on the old low resolution footage? ??? Seemed a bit obvious.
It's neither a facehugger nor chestburster, though. You can see either thin, crustacean-like limbs or 'bent' antenna. It just has a similar aesthetic, that's all.

It needn't be acidic blood. In fact, if they're carrying through the ancient Egyptian analogy properly, it could well be a form of corrosive gas set in a trap to deter cosmic grave-robbers. In other words, not from a creature, but from a device.
That's the sort of thing which used to be found in pyramids, after all.

Hate to be a debbie downer, but from a scientific standpoint, this hologram does not make much sense. If it is a representation of our solar system, it doesn't make sense, as all major planets (and dwarf planets) orbit our sun pretty much along the plane of the ecliptic. This "hologram" shows orbits along multiple angles/trajectories.
On the other hand, if it is a "star chart", it makes even less sense, since the circular lines are showing "closed" orbits, and other stellar systems do not orbit our Sun.
So, I am a bit perplexed (as a scientist)...but on the other hand, realize this is "just a movie, and I really should just relax".
I think it's the room where they find the coordinates of the Space Jockeys' Planet.
Awesome spots=) In Ridley we trust!

But yes, astronomically doesn't make much sense (if our solar system) to me looking at it either... but also might be another system all together.
Regardless,

Saw the 2nd first look teaser, man ever since Predators Fox has been on a roll.
Don't make it too dark though, yes I went there again :D
Am I weird, or is one of the most interesting things from these teasers the strange hole in the chamber?
That 'landscape' if you will - looks so intriguing. Got me excited.
Bit bummed there aren't more "giger-scapes" in the teasers... I know no one said there would be... but secretely (or not?) - it's one of the things I'm most looking forward to. Very pumped for his murals though :D

This new look clarifies a few things. Firstly, it isn't Shaw that get's 'pregnant', something a few people have suggested. Also the term 'establishment' suggests not a space ship but some kind of temple or installation.

Yeah I thought the room with the hole on the other side of the chamber door seemed really cool.
In the original Alien screenplay when the pyramid existed, they entered it by lowering themselves down through a opening in the top.

please tell me we're not getting any mutants or hybrids in this... please!!! I said I was open to new things, but not to freakin' bald zombies walking all over the place...
Hmm, the hologram looks like it's taking place inside the room where the SJ's chair would be. Could that be the Jockey & chair at the center?
Opening worm holes or something?
The room looks similar to the Geiger design for the Jocky room for Alien.

Quote from: deuterium on Dec 19, 2011, 10:10:07 PMHate to be a debbie downer, but from a scientific standpoint, this hologram does not make much sense. If it is a representation of our solar system, it doesn't make sense, as all major planets (and dwarf planets) orbit our sun pretty much along the plane of the ecliptic. This "hologram" shows orbits along multiple angles/trajectories.
There is no reason for it to be our solar system. Could be anywhere.
-Chris
Did you read the second part of my post? In terms of a map, it can't be a representation of another stellar system, as it shows CLOSED orbits around a central body. This is impossible, because other stars do not "orbit" our own Sun.
If it were a 3-D "map", specifically DESIGNED by Alien intelligence to point humans towards a specific goal, one would think it would show our Sun at the center, with all other celestial coordinates given in spherical coordinate geometry. This just looks like an OLD version of a Bohr atom (which is still unfortunately used as a model in high scool physics classes).
Are you guys sure that this is the right footage to the film? The trailers for the other Alien films had at least a sign of the xenomorph in it. There wasn't anything remotely resembling aliens in this teaser.

I could be wrong but that looks a lot like Guy Pearce.
Also, in the second tease, did anyone else notice Charlize running through the corridor...it appears as though she's unzipping her suit as she's running.

His head seems badly deformed and he has a beard. It's not David or Vickers.

Read through the first 4 pages of posts and it seems to be people nerdgasming (as I am too) for the most part. So I hope when I ask this question it hasn't already been asked.
Does anyone think there could be a link between the guy getting what looks like burned inside of his suit and the shot of Ridley directing a gentleman who has scares and growths on his body?
Either way I'm interested in the shot of Ridley directing the guy with growths, burns, and scars on him. Any ideas aside from my little burn theory on how that happened?
Looks like he is flame throwing a beastie here. Look at the eye sockets on it. Very sunken like an alien skull.

Yeah I did, I was just commenting on the fact that it could be anywhere, not even a star system at all. There is nothing that suggests that it is designed to guide humans. I am no astronomer, but it could represent another solar system, or a planet and it's moons. I doubt an advanced alien race would use a Bohr model for an atom, so that's out surely.
Happy to be proven wrong though - the more info the better ;)

That guy in the first shot with Ridley is clearly changing on a cellular level....his head is elongated, he's missing hair, and he grows taller in those frames. He's not just not just burned, something is happening.

Rich, with all due respect, you are missing the "science" behind this position. Any map, AND ESPECIALLY a map meant to explain coordinates/direction/destination to an alien race, you need to use a known point of reference. If the Space Jockey race was leaving "clues" for humanity to follow, it's map would be based upon some point of reference, which would be easily understood by humanity. The obvious point of "reference" would be Sol (our Sun). Without a point of reference, from which humanity could make associations from, the map could represent ANY arbitrary stellar system. Why is this so hard to understand?

if you lower the frame rate in the video you will notice that in the center of the room and the holographic planet there is one of the astronauts in a suit,minus the helmet.also the walls in the room are the one from the space jockey room, with columns near the wall in the right and left of the screen.also the floor seems to be like the one in the space jockey room. my guess is the room we see them enter

Chris, I admitted this "assumption" in my original post. However, I do believe that the assumption is correct, given all the information we have received so far. The archaelogical team finds "something" that points them to a particular interstellar system. I PRESUME that the "hologram" we glimpse in the trailer is a graphical representation of just such a "map". If I am wrong, then I will be very surprised.
Hey just noticed.
In the clip of the burned guy going up in the air.
Off screen to the right there is an arm in what looks like a black robe of sorts. The arm and hand raises up in exact motion with how the burned guy is raising up. So is it the Engineer actor off camera preparing for a scene where they throw somebody via telepathic power or using alien technology?
I bet this movie would make Bay,Emmerich,Lucas,Spielberg,Anderson,Rodriguez to cry like little babies....

Earth
Mars
Jupiter
Saturn
Uranus
Neptune
Pluto (although Pluto-Charon could almost be classified as a dual "dwarf" planetary system")
Recently, it has been discovered that the Pluto-Charon system has at least two additional moons

Only if that where true. The strause brothers never get a big opportunity again so i'm not scared of them being in the movie bussiness. But Salerno is a whole other story. Please ban that guy from hollywood. He ruins everything he touches.
1 thing got me....we had seen Shaw alive in some screencaps and they had actions in it and the exploration and so on...but we have to admit that Shaw will have something in her belly probably an alien lifeform...so wtf? The main character will die or that footage is part of the end of the movie and why would you put such kind of footage in the trailer spoiling the death of one of the main characters....now im just not sure she is going to die ??? but then what the hell is happening to her??? :o

You're assuming that whatever is inside of her kills her. For all we know whatever she gives "birth" to she could survive, with just some incredible emotional/mental trauma. Imagine what it would have been like for Kane had he been able to survive the spawning of the Chestburster.
Just a thought.

What he was saying is that there is nothing to suggest that this map has anything to do with leading humans anywhere. You are assuming the maps purpose and then deducing that it is 'all wrong' because of your assumption.
-Chris
Chris, I admitted this "assumption" in my original post. However, I do believe that the assumption is correct, given all the information we have received so far. The archaelogical team finds "something" that points them to a particular interstellar system. I PRESUME that the "hologram" we glimpse in the trailer is a graphical representation of just such a "map". If I am wrong, then I will be very surprised.
It make sense that the hologram is the map the crew uses, but perhaps what we're looking at is the equivalent of a zoomed-in view on Google Earth, and we're only seeing the final destination, not the entire map. There might be additional footage of a star map that makes more sense from a scientific standpoint.
Wait a minute, the thing being pulled out of the ampule has a trunk? So that's an adult space jockey? I remember reading that the space jockey children were huge. So the one found on the derelict was just a baby?

I hope not too. The beginning of a transformation into something maybe or just a dude who have an accident.
It's just someone normal getting hurt/killed. There are green screens in the background and they get hurled back, like on bungee cord. It's most likely that a CGI creature is going to be depicted snatching them back quickly.
Also, it looks more like dirt or shadow than facial hair. They could be female.

If she's impregnated/whatever by mouth, then that's not going to happen. The womb is not attached to the stomach. :)
Of course, there was that news from a while back about how the creatures are going to do "very perverse things" or something...

What makes you think it's a trunk? Could be anything.
So far as I know, there's no canon information declaring what Space Jockey children look like - or if they
can reproduce.

To the top right of what is being pulled out of the ampule. Looks like a head with a short trunk? Shoulder/arms to the far left.

I do really like that theory someone posted a while ago that the Jockey is in a way a facehugger that attaches to the face of the victim and then transforms them into the Jockey kind of look. A different type of parasite.

Don't get me wrong, it is a good assumption. I don't think that they would get such a thing 'wrong' though. As
rbenchley said, it may be that the frames that we are seeing of the map are 'zoomed' into the destination system from a larger Galaxy map with our sun as the reference point etc. It could just as easily be on the alien world and just a representation of that civilization's home system.

Not seeing that myself. He's on a wire, burned, possibly being lifted or thrown by something added later in post.

Yes I saw the wristwatch before but it could be another actor who isn't in full costume since they are preparing for the shot.
And also by the way the guy is being manipulated in mid air it would imply he is being manipulated by a being or creature.

He probably is, but he's not a film character but rather the rig operator, gesticulating the motion as it happens. I doubt there will be wizards in this film... but who knows! ;D

Oh yeah Im with you on that, the first time I noticed the implication I thought, damn, there is going to being wizard crap in this.
But it could be telepathy (which would be too star wars for my liking), or it could be forcefield alien technology that can lift things/people. Which is actually an ancient aliens thing now that I think of it. RE: Pyramid building.
In the Urns you have the Ampules containing DNA materials.

The guy is clearly deformed and way much taller...
Oh and in the hologram room (wich is clearly Engineers tech, in some Engineers ship) you can see a human in the middle platform. He looks tiny compared to the seat on the foreground or maybe it's just perspective...
Wonder if the humans discover nothing alive from the Engineers, but their technology.
They mess with it, some get transformed into Engineers, others into weirder creature...
It's the legacy of our creators and we f**k it up.

So am I. But the first shot I'd imagine is a stunt guy trying out the explosion shot that became the first official photo of Rapace being thrown backwards.

If it is Guy it would link up to him being the could-be mutating man too since he seems to be wearing chewed up crew clothes.

I think it's a combination of pre trailer speculation on DNA mutations and the brief glimpse of the make-up covered actor in a BTS shot completely lacking in context.
Mostly though, it's just more of the same ;D
There's a lot more to this shot in the second video:

These shots and this talk of battles and such really have me going. Scary space alien battles are hard to mess up, especially with a cast like this. This whole production really has me excited.

Looks more so that his space suit was compromised and what we see later during the lift is the results of the burn. However it could possibly be the mutation bit.

In the second trailer, there are at least two people running from the crashing ship. When you pause the trailer, the close-up is of Naomi Rapace, definitely...not Charlize Theron. So, the pic of someone climbing into what may be an escape pod, could be either Naomi or Charlize.

Vickers escaping the Magellan/Prometheus using an escape pod while the Magellan/Prometheus is on a crash course with the Engineers's ship to avoid it to take off. She is wearing that same shinny skin tight suit in the shots where she's running from the crashing ships.
In the second trailer, there are at least two people running from the crashing ship. When you pause the trailer, the close-up is of Naomi Rapace, definitely...not Charlize Theron. So, the pic of someone climbing into what may be an escape pod, could be either Naomi or Charlize.

Did you look at the picture i uploaded? It's a blond Vickers running.
Two characters are running from the crash, Vickers and Shaw.
I posted the image of Vickers, who is wearing a different type of suit than Shaw.
It's not any of those who is climbing in the pod.
Vickers is wearing a shinny skin suit, when she's running Shaw has the same suit we have seen her wearing in all the images so far. Even the helmets are different...
I admit, I wasn't looking at the suit, I was looking at that fine piece of ass...which, you are right, I am sure is Charlize Theron climbing into that "escape pod". And the "escape pod" is just a guess at this point, albeit a good one. As far as the clip of the women running, did that come from the second teaser trailer? Because when I view it, and pause it at the person in the main shot, it definitely is Naomi Rapace. But the still shot you posted does look like Charlize? So I am confused.
On further consideration, it wouldn't make much sense to climb into an "escape pod" while the ship is (apparently) on the planetary surface. Perhaps they are individual airlocks??
If you look at the wide shots there is two person running from the crash.
Then you have the close ups of Vickers and Shaw.
But i checked the suits closely and it looks Vickers and Shaw do wear the same shinny suit (same gear as the original suit we saw until now but or more skintight leather like jumpsuit). But Vickers seems to be wearing it tighter. it gives her a more sexy shape. Also the shot of Vickers running, ripping her clothes makes me think that she is the one on board the ship fleeing to the escape pods while changing her suit.
That is whay i tend to believe that she is the one on the ship.
And in the leaked trailer there is this shot where you see only one character starring at the taking off Engineer's ship.
EDIT, upon further inspection the person in a suit getting into a pod is blond.
Vickers ;)
My take is that Shaw is already on the ground, Janek and vickers in the Magellan/Prometheus flying toward the Engineer's.
Vickers using an escape pod.
Janek sacrifices himself, collision between the ship.
Shaw probably helps Vickers out of the Pod and start running for their lives from the flying debris...
BTW did not Scott wanted to adress a lesbian relation in space or does this comes from Harvest?
WOW! Absolutely amazing! I can't wait for the full blown high def trailer...this movie can't come soon enough.
I have enjoyed reading a lot of you insights and speculation in other threads.

David pulling ... what from the goo?
...
I'd describe it as a semi-translucent chestburster with a totally different mouth structure. Like a round orifice that opens like a sphincter and has a second extending appendage (like the alien tongue) only it has a singer at the end.
...
I'm also seeing a burster more than the face hugger others are. It's an interesting contrast the well defined, little beaked creature shown in Kane's xray. A (maturing?) jellyfish-esque bruster basically hidden in the goo would certainly seem to cause less concern than eggs or huggers would.
I don't know what David is pulling out of there, but I'm not seeing a creature. Looked more like some kind of strange piece of technology to me.
that would be awesome if it would e piece of bio-engineering, instead of a creature.
but it could be maybe an
pre-organism:

somekind of being, living in the sea or a lake, which eats the bacteria and micro-beings to evolve itself in a long period of time. than it take 500 million years later a walk on the ground. see; a link to evolution.but i prefer more much your thought, that this thing is some biomech. maybe it could be a mini-processor for future terraform experiments.

Interesting. If you pause it (use the 720p resolution) at 00:17 and 00:18 mark, you can clearly see that the "green goo" has some kind of structure/organism inside it. And at least part of it looks something similar to the tail of the facehugger creature we all know and love.
Does anyone else see this as well? My eyes aren't playing tricks on me, are they?
I think this movie is muuuuch more Alien than what they want us to believe.....

Jaws 4: The Revenge was amazing in it's own right and Caine did a great job playing Hoagie. I think his performance is up there with
Get Carter (at least). It's the
Alien3 of the
Jaws franchise, a lot of great ideas yet it still goes unloved by so many. Of course, none of that has anything to do with Caine's superior performance.

The mutation comes originaly from the PARADISE synopsis not the one from IMDB (wich has been borrowing from KFS and PARADISE).

It'is not called Ampule room for nothing.
"An ampoule (also ampul or ampulla) is a small sealed vial which is used to contain and preserve a sample, usually a solid or liquid. Ampoules are commonly made of glass, although plastic ampoules do exist."
This is what we are seeing, strangely shaped glass vial protected inthe urn.

All bogus. PARADISE is obviously fan made, and KFS is just plain ridiculous. The mutation thing is a guess made by fans from joining disparate dots of information together with a lot of imagination. It won't happen IMO.

I think its much less literal than that actually. Given the way he says it, I think he means that some of the themes and pieces of characterization that we are given that seem to be almost nothing will turn out to be much bigger and more important in the end. I think there will be far more going on inside this "establishment" than the media up to this point seems to indicate.

I love how Prometheus has the feel of retro sci-fi films but on a much grander scale!
Comparing some shots of the 1960 sci-fi film "First Spaceship on Venus" and Prometheus just for shits-n-giggles now. Btw, here is a portion of the plot summary for this retro film:
The film begins in 1985, when engineers involved in an industrial project to irrigate the Gobi Desert accidentally unearth a mysterious and apparently artificial "spool." When found to be made of a material unknown on Earth, the spool is circumstantially linked to the Tunguska explosion of 1908. The "spool" is seized on as evidence that the explosion, originally blamed on a meteor, was actually caused by a spaceship. Professor Harringway deduces the alien craft must have come from Venus.

I've always wondered if Parker's surprise was solely that Ash was an android or that Ash was so convincingly human. Will there even be time for a subplot that frames droid-human relations almost 40 years in the future? :-\ A single prequel film just doesn't seem enough to contain the possible greatness.

they look like 4 oval or cylindrical containers of some kind.at the top they are thinner(look at the parts around davids fingers).they are all linked at the top by the thing david is holding in the middle of them.then as you get lower the cylindrical things get thicker and at the base they seem to be encased by a biomechanoid type thing,and that in turn lies in goo.

A damn fine use of CGI if ever I saw one - George Lucas take note
Totally love the look and feel of the shots in these teasers
For some reason it reminded me of 2001
Dont know how Ridley does it but yet again he's crafted something that looks kind of retro yet still very futuristic and yes, solid, real and believable (at least going by what we've been shown so far).........I'm feeling very positive about this movie (far more optimistic than I was when we first saw the 'Predators' teaser trailers)

Still looks like a Space Jockey to me. :P
Mate, it's four separate compartments. Unless it's a "Builda Jockey"
Just putting it out there, but what if the ship is like a Noah's ark. It houses all the species that the SJ use to populate planets.
The humans just happen to open the wrong batch....

Yep, Get Carter. Classic Caine, before he was in shitty movies before being in good movies again.
Jaws 4: The Revenge was amazing in it's own right and Caine did a great job playing Hoagie. I think his performance is up there with Get Carter (at least). It's the Alien3 of the Jaws franchise, a lot of great ideas yet it still goes unloved by so many. Of course, none of that has anything to do with Caine's superior performance.
I have to say your taste is 'questionable' at best
Jaws 4 rightly got an overall rating of 0% on 'Rotten Tomatoes' (still a bit high in my opinion, if ever a film deserved a minus rating then its Jaws 4')
Alien 3 isnt even within the same universe of awfulness, let alone the same ballpark, as Jaws 4
Alien 3 has flaws but its still an enjoyable watch with some nice ideas and it generally looks good - it isnt a dead, genetically modified, cancerous 2 tonne monster turkey stuffed with the rotten giblets of a 1,000 dead salmonella infested turkeys.................which is what Jaws 4 patently is
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/jaws-the-revenge/ (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/jaws-the-revenge/)
If we're going to equate Alien to Jaws then Alien 3 was the equal of Jaws 3; AR was Jaws the Revenge both in chronological order and figuratively.
Alright if the ampules are apart of a Noah's ark... we'll I feel bad for all of those species now that humans have found them and just maybe the only one that survived the evil humans was the alien race. Knowing humans, once something bites them in the butt they always have to take off and nuke the site from orbit.

David pulling ... what from the goo?
...
I'd describe it as a semi-translucent chestburster with a totally different mouth structure. Like a round orifice that opens like a sphincter and has a second extending appendage (like the alien tongue) only it has a singer at the end.
...
I'm also seeing a burster more than the face hugger others are. It's an interesting contrast the well defined, little beaked creature shown in Kane's xray. A (maturing?) jellyfish-esque bruster basically hidden in the goo would certainly seem to cause less concern than eggs or huggers would.
I don't know what David is pulling out of there, but I'm not seeing a creature. Looked more like some kind of strange piece of technology to me.
that would be awesome if it would e piece of bio-engineering, instead of a creature.
but it could be maybe an pre-organism:

somekind of being, living in the sea or a lake, which eats the bacteria and micro-beings to evolve itself in a long period of time. than it take 500 million years later a walk on the ground. see; a link to evolution.
but i prefer more much your thought, that this thing is some biomech. maybe it could be a mini-processor for future terraform experiments.
I like your thinking (and nice find re the pre-organism) 8)

Quote from: Engineer1 on Dec 20, 2011, 02:54:52 AMThe mutation comes originaly from the PARADISE synopsis not the one from IMDB (wich has been borrowing from KFS and PARADISE)
All bogus. PARADISE is obviously fan made, and KFS is just plain ridiculous. The mutation thing is a guess made by fans from joining disparate dots of information together with a lot of imagination. It won't happen IMO.
Quote from: Engineer1 on Dec 20, 2011, 02:54:52 AMThis is what we are seeing, strangely shaped glass vial protected in the urn.
Could well be, it certainly looks rigid. Pretty weird with the little 'fingers' around the top though.
-Chris
KFS was fanmade but someone who is providing the leaked pictures to ALIEN prequel news said it 70% correct (the ending was wrong). They did connect the dots in a pretty good way but also offered some nice takes (Engineer and David relation, the followers, mutated humans...).
Not ridiculous in any way.
Close enough to make Fox release a statement and also release the official synopsis that was very close to the allegedly fanmade synopsis.
Still bet my money on these 2 to be very close.
As for the content of the urns, no doubt for me these are strangely shaped glass vials.
Ampule room says it all. Engineer's samples from experiments or noah's ark (just like in PARADISE).
The images hints at so many possibilities (humans changing into something? Creatures or Engineers? Turning against each other? Engineers ship/temple in pretty good shape, and really huge seat and tiny human...) i hope the movie will end up being as full of surprises as Scott says...

The starmap room is not the the head room there is no ampules urns nor the archs.
I doubt its the pilot chair room neither.
Because the console in the Starmap room has not the same design as the platform that houses the chair.
This starmap room has the entrances on both sides have a specific forms.
But what is even weirder is that those corridors leading to the starmap are human sized and the chair in front of the starmap console is huge. How can the Engineers move around in their suits?????
Even if there are humanoid inside why bother making those huge pilot seats and control panels???

Maybe it's not a map at all.
It could be some sort of gene sequence map, or a short replay of human history.
Looks clearly like galaxies to me.
galaxies? Where?

but nowhere in any of those rumours does it say that holograph is on earth. it could be anywhere and of anything. so just my opinion but there's nothing to object to at this moment!.
and you infered it by what you said about it being designed to show humans something, but anyway, even if that is on earth it may still be depicting another system in another galaxy, we have no idea of its context at all yet, and im quite sure ridley wont be stupid enough to get our own solar system wrong!
thanks

Rich, with all due respect, you are missing the "science" behind this position. Any map, AND ESPECIALLY a map meant to explain coordinates/direction/destination to an alien race, you need to use a known point of reference. If the Space Jockey race was leaving "clues" for humanity to follow, it's map would be based upon some point of reference, which would be easily understood by humanity. The obvious point of "reference" would be Sol (our Sun). Without a point of reference, from which humanity could make associations from, the map could represent ANY arbitrary stellar system. Why is this so hard to understand?
touche, and with all due respect to you my good sir, i am NOT missing any science at all, you keep infering that this is there to explain their directions to humans when that is NOT established whatsoever, from what i can gather from the trailers and rumours i think this is on another planet, rumour is that theres a dig on another planet too. so again you keep jumping to the conclusion that this map is there to show humans the way to something when that may not be the case at all, they may just stumble across this by accident and it could be to show jockeys where to go, it may be part of the rumoured telescope/star plotting system. this could be found on another planet in the universe that the humans reach first that then leads to another planet so the point of reference may be on there for all you know.... how is that so hard to understand?.....
another point is that all these rooms appear to be connected and the actors are alll wearing suits in these areas which would suggest they are not on earth, ive never heard of anyone needing such helmets on earth apart from divers or certain pilots and they dont appear to be under water or flying an sr71 blackbird...
once again, i am certain that ridley is not stupid enough to make such an amateur mistake on what would be an important plot point, and also there's a million and one rumours on this movie, i take all with a huge pinch of salt until they're either verified or dismissed by facts.
btw, i am reasonably well versed in science and scientific method... making assumptions and jumping to conclusions is not exactly what i would deem as critical thinking...
thanks

The chair plateform is completely round, that starmap console is an half round with the seat in the middle.
If the pilot chair was to rise from the middle of this console it would be much smaller that it seems to be.

Either there is two doors like this one or they take a moment to check the pit before entering the temple/ship...
I still didn´t bought that circular door...but nothing is perfect in this world...wait...A L I E N is perfect! ;D
Well upon inspection i think there is actually 2 big round doors.
What makes me say this is that the arches near the Head are bend toward the characters exploring it.

Soi guess that the green screen on the other side should lead to the rock tunnels the characters came from. They pass the Ampule room then find another door that leads them to the pit.
Or maybe in the leaked set photo, the arches are just not in place.
Is it me or anybody else get a feeling Noomi is gonna get hers handed too her? i saw a glimpse of her lying on the scan machine and see her running i think she is in a world of pain. and dont think the movie will end good.
Probably the opposite of Ripley.
She definitly make it toward the very end of the movie (the running from the crashing Engineer's ship).
So i guess she survives whats growing in her womb.
Wonder if the crew end up finding no alien lifeforms alive but they start to "toy" with the genetic material left beinh and Shaw gets pregnant with Engineers seed, grow one inside her that comes to be THE ENGINEER memories of his past intact. Her belly grow up fast in one shot, maybe the result too. And it has been said that David talks to a child telling him that big things have small beginnings.
That would be quite a mind f**k that our gods use us to be reborn.

The AVP stuff was generic, that's why. In fact, I seem to recall someone saying it was lifted directly from one of the fan sites.
They're just both based on ancient hieroglyphics and runes, that's all.
QuoteWhy is writing even necessary? The derelict didn't have any and that worked out all right...
Actually, it was originally intended to have them. Giger famously worked up a plaque which wasn't ultimately filmed, but has been posted a lot around here. It was in his book.
Besides which, most facilities and such have direction, warning and instruction signs. Not sure why you think an alien civilisation would be any different - it's just common sense. :)

Literally, eviscerate means to remove the viscera - the guts. It's not necessarily quick. In fact as a form of capital punishment, being hanged,
drawn and quartered, was a slow and horrifying demise.
However, I suspect Ridley is using it as a suitable emotive word rather than a literal explanation.
After proper hanging, one would give a shit about drawning and quartering :D

Evsicerate can have psychological connotations as well....where everything they thought they knew is eviscerated, i.e. taken from them, their most sacred beliefs of why things are, etc... you get the point and I think Ridley used that word in a larger context, and not just meaning that physically they are killed.

Four condoms filled with Lilt?
they look like 4 oval or cylindrical containers of some kind.at the top they are thinner(look at the parts around davids fingers).they are all linked at the top by the thing david is holding in the middle of them.then as you get lower the cylindrical things get thicker and at the base they seem to be encased by a biomechanoid type thing,and that in turn lies in goo.
it has blatant finger nails (things) at the top of the "fingers"
The starmap is not housing the pilot chair. Look at the proportions.
If the pilot seat rises from the midle of the console in the starmap room then it will have to be human sized.

Maybe the room is biomechanical and has the ability to reconfigure itself based on it's current application?
I don't think this map/starchart room is on earth. I'm wondering if it's an intermediate location. So...
A) Find information on earth with coordinates of planet.
B) Prometheus and crew head to planet and find jockey temple with map room leading to jockey homeworld.
C) Head to jockey homeworld.
Maybe they find the ampules at the first planet and start messing around with them. When things start going bad they find the map room and head to the jockey homeworld to get assistance from the creators. Then things start going really bad :o
Prometheus 2 : Wrath of the Gods begins filming
Hi ......
So as far as i can tell
A group of scientists working for yutani make an exciting discovery on earth concerning our origins and the origins of the universe but cannot fund the adventure so they join with weyland ( military contractors) and go off into space looking for our creators and paradise, Only to find a dead planet with a pyrymid/ spacecraft/ noahs ark type structure "chained" underground with no sign of life.
Upon having a look around and taking/stealing the urns of life back to their ship for further study ( anyone else notice the rack of chestbursters fassbenders lifting from the urns) alert the presence of the prisoners in the spacecraft which turn out to be crazy alien scientists that do nasty things to beautifull women , or will the dangers arise from fassbenders meddling with the contents of noahs ark?
I know a few things in alien will help towards some of the theorys on this site
A: ash knows the signal and knows it to be a warning
B:ash knows that what kane will be bringing back to the ship is extremely fast.
C: ash recognises both the facehugger stage and the chestburster phase
I dont think that the jockeycraft in prometheus will be the same derelict seen in alien, it probably uses a samey type signal though:) and i am thrilled to know that the original xeno will not be featured as i think the creature is no longer the perfect super intelligent ultimate survivor we only see in the 1st movie ( and a little of the 3rd )

Looks clearly like galaxies to me.
With all respect, they are NOT galaxies. The things orbiting the central body must be planetary systems. Some of the planetary systems have their own orbiting moons, which is why they show up like "mini-solar systems" in the context of the overall "starmap". Although, as I explained (from a scientific standpoint) early on in this thread, the starmap does not make much sense. All major (and most dwarf) planets orbit their central star in more or less a common plane, known as the ecliptic plane. This "starmap" looks more like the proverbial "Bohr" atom, which shows orbits at all kinds of angles. The reason that planetary / stellar systems evolve so that planets orbit a star along the same plane is well understood in astrophysics, and has to do with the Conservation of Angular Momentum during the collapse of the primordial gas cloud which ends up forming the stellar system.
I think this is just an example of either poor research, or the concious effort to make the visuals more "sexy".

Hi JaaayDee,
The orbiting lights have "individual orbitals" around them, in order to represent individual moons orbiting planetoids. In binary star systems, the individual stars do NOT orbit a single central star. They dance in a complex orbital pattern around a common "barycenter". In bound stellar sytems with more then two bodies (stars), the orbital paths are even more complex, but in no case does one star act as a "center" in which all the other star orbit around it. The "barycenter" is simply a point in space upon which the binary stars mutually orbit. Again, in gravitationally bound systems consisting of more then two stars, it is more complex, and the "barycenter" can precess.
I don't care to speculate too much at this juncture. I will say however that i love love love the footage we've got from these 2 teaser teasers. Can't wait for the full trailer to come out. I'm thinking this may be my most anticipated film of 2012, Avengers be damned!! ;D

I see what your saying, but I still think it's a star map. Now I agree that the scale and representation is off. The galaxies look more like planetary nubela to me, or maybe they are just some type of hilighted grouping of systems. I'm wondering if the rings like structures are travel paths vs orbits. In a bohr's atom I would expect the representation to look much more diffuse with very little structure, but who knows.. I guess we will in 6 months unless someone involved in the movie describes it as a chart room or chemistry room.

The central blue sphere looks like incomplete Dyson sphere to me. It even has some regular geometrical (hexagonal?) pattern to it's "continents". Outer orbiting objects looks more like galaxies than planetary systems, wich is very wrong from scientific point of view.

Perhaps the hologram is the depiction of some kind of stargate/wormhole conduits that coincide with certain star systems - remember the Grand Central Station from 2001...
The extreme outer 'orbit' pathways do look very odd and contain some wierd regular shaped objects that must be massive (monoliths? ;))

Well...there are many people who know how to imitate Giger´s style.
I remember that Alien Trilogy Game had very impressive scenarios inside the Derelict/Boneship and i doubth Giger had any involvement with the game.

Perhaps the hologram is the depiction of some kind of stargate/wormhole conduits that coincide with certain star systems - remember the Grand Central Station from 2001...
The extreme outer 'orbit' pathways do look very odd and contain some wierd regular shaped objects that must be massive (monoliths? ;))
Maybe thats what the telescope/chair thing actually is:- a stargate!
Space Jockeys = Ancients from Stargate!

I think this is one of the mercs who is responsible for the attack on the jockeys and therefor they turn on the humans.
And therefor he is the only one who got out alive from his team and still fubar.

Looks clearly like galaxies to me.
With all respect, they are NOT galaxies. The things orbiting the central body must be planetary systems. Some of the planetary systems have their own orbiting moons, which is why they show up like "mini-solar systems" in the context of the overall "starmap". Although, as I explained (from a scientific standpoint) early on in this thread, the starmap does not make much sense. All major (and most dwarf) planets orbit their central star in more or less a common plane, known as the ecliptic plane. This "starmap" looks more like the proverbial "Bohr" atom, which shows orbits at all kinds of angles. The reason that planetary / stellar systems evolve so that planets orbit a star along the same plane is well understood in astrophysics, and has to do with the Conservation of Angular Momentum during the collapse of the primordial gas cloud which ends up forming the stellar system.
I think this is just an example of either poor research, or the concious effort to make the visuals more "sexy".
When i say Galaxies, i just mean star systems, planets or anything like that.
I'm no specialist.
As for the rest you lost me ^^
You might be right but it does the trick for me.
I'm not expecting hard science facts from a scifi movie with monsters and spaceships.
Sunshine or 2001 even have their flaws or lack of accuracy to make things look good on screen.
I m sure that the movie will take a lot liberties with space travel, genetics, phisics etc...
Hope it won't spoil the movie for ya.
:)
Personally, I think the space Jockeys are human anyway, I just hope I'm wrong, but there's something about the way this is all unfolding. We know there won't be any Xeno's, and that's fair enough. But from what Scott stated on Alien Prequel News (on 17 Dec.), it seems his whole philosophy for Phometheus is not only built around the concept of God(s), but the very notion we are not only not alone in the universe, but there are mostly likely more of us out there. Of course, it would be truly niave to predict we are only indigenous to Earth, but do we really want to discover something more human about ourselves in this film??
If they are ONLY human yeah that would a great disapointment.
One can only hope that there is more to it.
Sounds to easy for Scott.

Stuntmen always look like that...dangerous job :D
They are bred by stuntmen, in stuntmen farms, they end up having some difformities ^^
Or it is just a poor guy Ridley uses to vent his rage on...he is forced to stay on the set 24/7 and as you see: Sir Ridley goes mad once again and prepares his feared jump attack.
They've learned from the past...on the ALIENS set there was no such guy...so the whole cast had to serve as surrogate for Cameron's fury.

I wouldn't put too much stock in the 'mutated head' idea for this actor. He's clearly wearing a bald cap, with prosthetic hair attached to it. And if the actor has a lot of hair of his own, it'll stretch out the cap like that. Filmed from the right angle, you wouldn't notice it - but filmed from this angle, we do.

why havent we seen a "space jockey" yet? is it human or an "alien/etc" in a suit? is it even a suit?
Because that's what they know you're going to pay good money to see.
Just as Valaquen believes the Xenos could be properly utilized and effectively scary again, so I believe that genetic mutation is also quite doable if approached in a smart way.
There are plenty of genetic mutations that live in the populous today.....werewolfism (or whatever it's called), downs syndrome, and any number of common and notso common, and severe, and not so severe one offs that deform the body. It is highly plausible,within the realm of science fiction to use genetic mutation effectively for it to be horrifyingly scary. Yes, it's been featured in a lot of science fiction and even Ripley8 was a mutation of sorts (poorly executed and explained) but not much of it is memorable whatsoever. Ridley has the opportunity to craft it in a way where 20 years from now, after he's dead and gone, we will still be talking about how fu€ked up and amazing the events of Prometheus was/is.
By the way....notice all the onlookers of the mutating guy....he's something, on his way to be some kind of creature and the crew on hand seem to be in awe of whats happening, or awestruck.
The fact they aren't showing a single creature yet probably speaks volumes how insane the creatures will look in the movie.
Overall it looks very much like an Alien film just by the Giger designs alone. But man, not a single xenomorph in the movie? Really Scott? Really?
Not even for a short moment like maybe like the last 15-20 mins of the film as a climax mixed with all the other creatures?
I'd be very surprised if we don't see a single xenomorph in this movie or atleast something that looks VERY similar to the xenomorph.

A genuine question for our resident astrophysicist
deuterium (or any other astrophysicists that happen to be lurking the boards): Can moons have moons? A parallel to our own solar system would say no, simply because of scale, but what if this is a depiction of a
massive system. I ask this because the central body looks like it might represent a collapsed star, or possibly even a black hole with the outer 'membranes' representing the event horizon, photon sphere and/or accretion disk.
Obviously there is also the possibility that this is not intended to be to scale but just representative of the relative position of it's elements, each individual element scaled up for detail. It can't be a Bohr model, because electrons don't have orbiting bodies. It must be a system of some kind.
This stuff is fascinating - I always pondered on the actual interstellar 'geography' of the alienverse. There is talk of Zeta II Reticuli, which obviously isn't depicted here, so where

its possible, but it prbably wouldnt last as the parent planets gravitational pull would take it away.
but in all honesty, we have absolutely no idea what we are seeing here, for all we know this could be depicting orbits of "jockeymade" satellites around some central planet just as we have "manmade" satellites following many different orbital paths.
or most likely its just made up to look nice but doesnt depict our solar system at all.

About the thing David is pulling;
Watching it, it looks like four seperate glass containers, with ooze clinging to the bottoms as he pulls, but also the clip he uses is holding onto four seperate finger or maw-like protrusions, each with a strange black talon/fang/claw thing on the top. I can also clearly see a spine/facehugger tail. However that could be some kind of central tube to the fixture of the inside of what I'm guessing is an ampule (note it looks like white plastic, non-tapered, rather than the tapered chrome ampules we've seen).
I dont know what David is pulling at, but the finger-maw like things restrained by the clip (I expect the clip was also in whatever was opened, most likely some type of ampule to be fair - the clip must belong to the interior) make me wonder if we are looking at a type of "proto-hugger".

Theoretically, yes...although such systems tend to be unstable. If the initial conditions are just right, and there are no subsequent sources of orbital perturbations, then it is possible...but is very sensitive to initial conditions, the relative sizes/masses of the moons in question, their orbital distances, and resonances with the main planet. So in summary, theoretically possible, but probably statistically very VERY rare.

Are any of these people part of the main cast? I wonder how they fit into the story.
Mercenaries are credited in the cast.
Would not be suprising that an exploration like this gets some muscle just in case ;)

Quote from: Engineer1 on Dec 20, 2011, 11:16:48 PMmutation is definitly in...
But hasn't mutation been done to death? It is an ongoing trope in film after film, television show after television show. It's just not scary or disturbing IMO. If Ridley is saying that the
alien isn't scary anymore, surely human mutation is even less scary? And people turning into aliens... Pffft.
An infection of some kind could work, but the crew busting out of their clothes and transforming into monsters? Might as well of cast MJ!

EVERYTHING has been done to this point, either in books, games, comics...
I'm sure PROMETHEUS will ring some bells to someone who has read about the same concepts or action or i dont know what else. A real original story or concept or whatever is pretty hard to find these days...
In my eyes it's the execution that makes or brakes it.
Mutation might be only one of the aspect of the movie.
Not the main thing.
There's so many ampules, so many possibilities.
BTW the character is near the hangar entry of the Magellan/prometheus, just where we have seen a character using a flamethrower against something... Wont be suprised that the "thing" you can see falling from the ceilling toward the flamethrower guy is our mutated friend...

I've been trying all of the combinations on media.ru; 'inonedays', 'inoneday', 'tomorrow', 'getready', 'holyshititsnearlyhere'... 404s all the way. I wish they had started this whole thing earlier, as in 'In ten days, In nine days...' By the end we would have had enough behind the scenes footage for an entire TV spot! :D
It does make me wonder with all the hype whether the iTunes release will be a bit more than your average teaser, more of an exclusive, as they claim. We can hope.

So I wasn't the only one trying combos like "justonemoreday" "inonemoreday" "inoneday" etc. lol :laugh:

i think there will be a few things going on, i dont think its going to be as straight forward as alien for some reason (as in one monster killing everyone off), and even though there is strict denials on the xeno i personally believe were gonna get at least an explanation of how theyre formed if not some sort of pure xeno starter creature. maybe we will get two or three different types of alien life.

Mutation, gut eating new parasites, Engineers...

You know people have focused so much on the inclusion of the 'traditional' alien that they have (as far as I know) never bothered to ask the more basic question of whether this is even a
monster movie at all. I have never seen any real confirmation of Prometheus being a creature feature. It could be that the 'dangerous elements' mentioned are not large or toothy, they might be small and invisible, or even entirely mechanical.
The 'Engineer 1' character, which most people are assuming is an alien being, could literally be a human engineer responsible for the FTL drive, as this is obviously a focus. The Alien Harvest script had a full scene for the 'jump' to FTL, a lot of it taking part in the engine room.

i think thats a good possibility judging by the images weve seen of her laid down in pain, impregnated/implanted or infected are all possible.

The Engineer name comes from various sources who proven to be quite right.
The guy who's playing the elder engineer doesnt look old at all, if he plays an human engineer he would have to wear a makeup, wich would be stupid seeing the guy.

That would be a bold move to kill of everybody but i doubt that fox would accept a movie whose idea of a sequel was already discussed, that needs to have whole new set of characters in its follow up.

well ridley himself said in one of the first look vids that it will be something that will appear small that will be enormous, i think all this talk of dna etc may be totally literal and we may well get this mutation that people are specualting on at a dna level, or maybe some sort of infection of small bugs that implant inside human and grow into something bigger that over time eventually evolves into the xeno. we may not get a full grown xeno size killer monster in the alien sense but i think we may get the sjs trying to kill them but i would expect in an intelligent way rather than a bite your face off way.
thanks
rich
It's possible they used motion capture suits in this for the Engineers/Jockeys and they are sticking Guy Pearce's face on one of them.
Also didn't Ridley say in the COMIC CON video that there will be Bio Mechanoids?
Biomechanoid is the comon name for giger's esthetic.

I know that an actual Engineer suit/animatronic as been build now from the size of the chair in the starmap room and of the pilot seat they might have been enhanced to look bigger, but still have been built so the actors have something to respond to. Or maybe they will not be as big as expected, those corridors leading to each rooms are pretty human sized.
Maybe the Engineers suit changes sizes at will ^^
I tought about motion capture could be maybe used for the creature inside the suit, almost human but not quite maybe like AVATAR...

how do you know?
A journalist/writer specialized in special effects i've met briefly told me he saw pictures of Engineer's arm casts. Comparing the size of his arm to the size of the forearm of the cast.
The dead body/suit maybe.
Wich btw look way much smaller than the Space Jockey from ALIEN...
I think maybe there is something we're missing that will be very surprising and fascinating when it's finally revealed... just a guess.
@tmjhur
it was all over the net at early in the year. some (alleged) insider claimed that an 8ft animatronic space jockey had been created under the guidance of hr giger (but only in an advisory capacity), the same guy also claimed that there would be a giant semi human head piloting a spaceship, now he appears to have the giant semi human head part right but not the piloting part unless that turns out to be the inside of an sj ship and that head is the pilot which i doubt.

hahaha, that happens a lot with supposed true stories, when you look into them they usually turn out to be total bs, the recent jason statham movie "killer elite" being an example, or theye extremely loosely based on something true, so loosely that its totally disengenuous tro call it a true story, the texas chainsaw massacre being a prime example being based on ed gein.

Oh the dead thing in the ampule room?
Who knows. It could be the uncivilised behavior Ridley was talking about. And I'm sure he said there were biomechanoids during Comic Con.
Holy shit.
I was able to watch it.
It's great.
Man nice shot of her body in that one shot.
Mr. Torn suit-8 head looks like he got pounded by those fireball things (or resulting rocky debris) folks are running from in the landing/crash scene. OTOH, helmets are worn in that scene and this shot seems like a lot of effort for some redshirt.
I can also see how the head looks deformed, but the shot angle can also account for that.
Quote from: ThisBethesdaSea on Dec 20, 2011, 11:25:31 PM
Phantom...Jesus....get over the Xenos man.....a film I don't want to see is a director throwing in an alien because everyone wants and expects to see one. I want to see something highly different. I want to be scared shitless. A Xeno isn't going to do that.
And we're now judging the makeup as lame? Clearly it's a behind the scenes rehearsal of some sort, no lighting, no cameras. Give. It. A. Rest. ;)
My problem with it, is that the fans seem so sure that the film it going to do just fine without it, stop following the sheep for a moment and really listen to what you're really saying dude. I have a feeling this will fall under the classic case of... you don't know what you have until it's all gone, meaning when it finally hits you not a single xenomorph will be in this film and it's GONE, that reality will put a smile on your face? :D
I believe the reason why the fans are somehow, someway, mindbogglingly, subconsciously are ok with the Alien being left out is because of what they saw in AVP and AVP-R. The fact of the matter is the classic xenomorph still has the magic touch to make you shit a brick on the big screen. You mean to tell me with a big budget like this, Giger and Ridley working together resurrecting the classic dome headed alien once again you wouldn't want to see that? As far as I'm concerned I haven't seen a decent scary xenomorph since Alien 3, so when you do the math we haven't seen a true xenomorph in 20 years.
You say you want to be scared shitless, and what I'm saying is creatures like the Alien and Predator rule this town of movie monsters, so the only way you'll be truely scared is if Ridley managed to create a new creature that will literally wipe the floor of the legendary classic Giger Alien...
because if it doesn't, a good story, and good visuals go but so far. What made Alien scary as hell was because of the beast, the problem is the beast was so perfect and flawless how the hell are you going to dethrone it in Prometheus?
Just my opinion, hope I'm wrong. Guess we'll find out next year.
AVP has nothing to do with not wanting the xenos in Prometheus.
Scott said no xenos will be there, the shape is worn out in his opinion (like other i just think it needs to be done properly in the hand of a good director thats all), he's been there he's done that, he's not interested to do it again.
So he's going to get new creatures and he seems pretty confident that they will scare us and top the xenos.
Me i'm all in to see new scary freaky stuff.
Thats all.
im ok with there being no xeno phantom for the simple reason that its been done to death, directors have a massive massive problem making sequels or prequels to movies because its hard to strike the balance between doing something new while sticking to established story.
its almost impossible for them to please the fans because if you stay too close to the original then you get derided by fans for not doing something new. predators being a prime example.. but then you also get derided by fans when you try to do something new, predator 2 is my prime example as fans werent happy without arnie....
alien 3 and alien resurrection suffered from this in a big way because the directors/writers were forced to shoehorn ripley in to keep the fans happy which then caused big problems with story and continuity, egg on sulaco being prime example yet im sure fans would have moaned like hell if ripley wasnt there as they did when arnie wasnt in predator 2.
for me personally i prefer the big change not only does it give them more scope and leeway with story but it becomes extremely implausible for one character to keep on bumping into whatever the antagonist creature is be it ripley v xeno or arnie v pred, thats why i dont get the fans that still call for more ripley movies or arnie pred movies.
so same goes for the xeno, ill be happy to see some form of early xeno, maybe another creature that evolves into it but i would be just as happy for no xeno at all and have a space jockey story as that creature is just as interesting and hasnty been done to death.

That's if the new creature tops the xeno, which is a big if.
yeah, xeno is pretty hard if not impossible to top but it would appear theyre going more in the direction of thriller killer story rather than killer monster, so maybe that will do the trick!. its probably why theyre denying there's a xeno and saying its not a proper prequel at every opportunity so fans dont go to watch it hoping for something they aren't gonna get.

it was in one of the alien 3 scripts too if i remeber right.probably that's where the guy who made that fake synopsis took the idea from.anyway it's too cheesy.
"You have to be better then Giger" That's a quote from Neville Page in an audio interview he did with MTV or some media outlet.
This IS a creature feature, bank on it.
Phantom, you 'seem' to be saying
'because I can't imagine anything more scarier then Giger's alien it doesn't make sense that it wouldn't be in the film, despite what Ridley says?'
So, correct me if I'm wrong, you further believe that even if the story is awesome, the acting, dialogue, etc....it won't matter without an original alien in it? Are you reading what you write? Honestly?
I've been scared to death by a few films that didn't have any aliens in it. By your logic, that shouldn't be possible because they only way I can get scared is if an alien is in it?

i agree it will be a creature feature but not as much as alien, i think this will have a much deeper story with morality and consequence being far more prominent than just survival.

Rothman went out of his way to say that PROMETHEUS is not a classic prequel to ALIEN and yet, theyre presenting the title in the same way the title for ALIEN was presented using the same haunted siren...Fox IS selling this as ALIEN, believe it. They should figure out what they're after because people will be confused as to what they'll be seeing.

That's if the new creature tops the xeno, which is a big if.
And this is the biggest gamble of all...
Even if Giger, himself, were to design it, there's no guarantee it would be better. If you compared the original creature to how he wanted to change it for '
Alien 3', I've never seen anyone say they would have preferred it. Conversely, his design for Sil, in '
Species', was stunning. A creature which, if portrayed differently, could've
easily fitted right into the Alien's continuity (and was constructed with certain key technologies Giger wanted to have included with the Alien, but couldn't, such as the translucent exoskeleton). Truly, there's no telling what he'd come up with.
Same thing applies to Scott... For all we know, he's determined to go down the route of 'humans are the biggest monsters of all', which I've always regarded as an incredibly anti-climactic cop-out when employed for films. Unlikely, yes, but we've already got that giant human head shown in the alien ship, which is slightly worrying. I mean, I think he's superbly talented, but have yet to see a film of his I've really enjoyed since '
Gladiator'.
If a new cosmic horror (or several) is being revealed in this film, it's going to be a huge risk. If they succeed, it could be brilliant. But if they don't, it could be the biggest anti-climax in cinematic horror history!
After all, who could've guessed that, with a Hollywood budget behind it, a fully realised Predalien was going to end up looking a lot worse than either creature it was meant to combine the best traits of? Yet, we all remember our disappointment at seeing those first pictures of the same - and seeing it in action only made it look far worse.

Are mainstream audiences familiar with the haunted siren or the title for ALIEN?
Doesn't matter, really. It's spooky for those who aren't and is creating a hype-generating buzz amongst those who are.
It's a win/win situation for the studio. :)
If Giger ever had realized his " The Tourist " I bet we had a lot more creatures to be scared for.. :)

Rothman went out of his way to say that PROMETHEUS is not a classic prequel to ALIEN and yet, theyre presenting the title in the same way the title for ALIEN was presented using the same haunted siren...Fox IS selling this as ALIEN, believe it. They should figure out what they're after because people will be confused as to what they'll be seeing.
dude, you can clearly see the Jockey-Chair and the Derelict in the trailer, it IS a prequel to Alien no matter what anyone says.
I totaly agree with you :)

I agree
I'm totally bored of unscary mutation movies and anything featuring zombies
Neither scary nor interesting, just look at the totally ridiculous and laughable CGI creatures in 'The Thing Prequel' - that movie was an out and out comedy in some places, almost purely due to the hilariously bad effects and ludicrous looking 'multi-mutating monster'
I agree that I could be ok with the 'infection' idea if its done well, but please no overblown, unbelievable looking, CGI-heavy 'transformations'

I think the urns contain specimans of species from many other worlds...
Case in point....zombies have been done to death, and yet, there's this little series called The Walking Dead that's reinvigorated the genre and have made zombies scary again.
Logic. Reason.
The picture quality of the two teasers is pretty bad (even in 1080p). I hope the final trailer will be uploaded in better quality. For example, take a look at the first teaser ("In three days") 0:13 in 1080p: (1) It seems as if the picture was upscaled (2) the compression is very high = a lot of artifacts.
This screenshot was taken from the official apple movie trailer version of "In three days" in 1080p:

Maybe it's the first stage of a transformation.
I think this is an engineer/jockey in its original form.
But f**ked from a fight or burn with the humans but he is portraited in the movie much larger.

You can get a free converter that can convert to AVI, that's what i use, convert to AVI and then put on a mem stick into my PS3, bam!
http://www.redkawa.com/videoconverters/ps3video9/ (http://www.redkawa.com/videoconverters/ps3video9/)
can take quite a while to convert though if you want everything to stay very high quality, but it's worth it.
AGAIN with the IT IS/IT IS NOT a prequel.
Tecnically speaking it's not, no characters from ALIEN is here (the dead SJ is NOT in PROMETHEUS, nor the Derelict, we get members of the same race and a same class ship) and the event will not lead to the Nostromo nor the Derelict crash.
Now save from the people who know ALIEN and who are fans, the average audience do not see the hint to ALIEN.
The way the tittle appears, the music etc....
WE do! It's a gift to the fans who will spread the word that the movie is actually related to ALIEN.
Scott don't want to redo ALIEN neither use the original xenos.
The trailer is very ALIEN like storywise, a ship land on an alien planet, they explore, stumble on some shit, monsters are on the loose... It's just a trick to make us fan root for it (and usually it's to serve the same stuff again and again as hollywood usually do) we will feel in familiar ground then he will rip the rug from under our feets and take us somewhere else..
Also from a marketing point of view they dont want to call it ALIEN because the franchise is dead in the water and also Alien = AVP in the mind of the average movie goer and the new generation that Fox wants to bring in the theatres.

Look to the right of Fassbender, at the pink coloured objects behind him. They're the same design as seen in the science lab onboard the Nostromo.
Could somebody take a screengrab from Alien to show what I'm referring to? The objects are visible during the panning shot at the start of chapter 12 (theatrical cut). Thanks.

why do assume this? in the trailer yo see a derelict like ship crashing onto a planet, you see a jockey chair, why do you assume that it is not the same jockey and ship?
Because the movie does not feature facehuggers eggs.
But mostly coz Lindelof said so ;)

QuoteGod willing, if Prometheus is successful, and there is a sequel, it won't be Alien because the end of this movie, if this movie is A to Z, Z is not there's a bunch of eggs laying on the floor of LV-426.
I doubt the movie would feature 2 ship of the same class crashing on different planets ^^
This is not the Derelict or it's pilot story.
But we are many to think that the Derelict story will be adressed indirectly.
Scott said and stick to the idea that the Derelict is a bioweapon transporter en route to war/colonisation.
We tought that at some point we will see some Engineers history (the murals giger did maybe) and we will realise that the derelict was one of many ship that took part in past wars/ colonisation campaigns.

It's not the same ship. Derelict in Alien is landed/crashed at different angle like this one.

From what i remember scott saying is that the sj creatures existed billions of years ago and throughout the universe are old temples and "ruins" of these ancients that do the pushing and pulling of life, the sj in the 1st alien was a fossilised remnant of that ancient race that fell victim to its own creation???? I bet the only sj we see is in the intro to the movie explaining the dawn of creation etc etc.......... Either that or david the android gets infected by an organic virus that transforms him into a biomech giant that cant control his transformation ( akira style) and ends with him fusing into the sjpilots chair and somehow saving mankind by sending the derilict back 20,000,000 years and crashing it :) lolz

I dig the David idea becoming an Engineer himself.
But again for the Nth time, the ship in Prometheus is not the Derelict.

My guess:when you see them leave the Prometheus with the vehicles they probably go to the big head or something else and they bring something back so the flamethrowers are used to hold off some little things some little scavengers or something. (like they do in the Fifth Element underneath the landing gear of the exotic cruise ship) and the infection has f**ked someone already up

Sweet, thanks for posting. Jumpy dude is definitely deformed looking. Wonder why and how? The 'goo'? The Jockeys? An alien virus?
Gotta have one o' them Weyland hats...
Jumpy dude looks to be the man scrambling up the side of the ship hull, out of the fire.
Burned by acid?
Look at the picture where we have the crew in the jockey room with the Chinese lantern looking things.
Is that a control console on the right side of the image?
There's weird stuff on top of those urns.
The mutant in the screencap I posted looks like something out of Resident Evil. I really hope that is just the beginning stage of a more eventual alien transformation.
I can't believe we have one more day to go. I hope the trailer will be the worth the wait and hope the trailer will be better then the Hobbit or Dark Knight Rises trailer.
All I know is that Noomi Rapace looks HAWT.

I agree... If they are going to mutate, I want them to REALLY mutate.
Mutant crew members is making me think of this film (https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2F3.bp.blogspot.com%2F_qLLYFudPAIw%2FSgBzfgRe1FI%2FAAAAAAAAAC4%2FG5S4fptU64c%2Fs400%2FPandorum.jpg&hash=fb78231f2bea63ea43222b5eb7df1b9ae0effceb)

Starmap/Pilot room.
The size of the set has been made to fit regular human size for the shoot but on screen you can see that actual humans will be tiny. Clearly not as tall as Fassbender is in the middle of the plateform...
So the human characters will be reduced in post to make the look Engineers huge.
Easier that the other way around i guess.
As for the mutated guy, its settled.
No human can jump like they do, especially outside of the ship without helmets ^^

Thanks.
Is Weyland already merged with Yutani in ALIEN?
I tought not?
Or maybe i mix up this with the fact that Weylan has no D in ALIEN...
I belive it's just a typo in all the different things that needs the logo.
And they never realy bothered to fix it... perhaps not even after Weyland and Yutani became one.
Yhey thought, "Oh, man they spelled Weyland wrong on our stuff..." and everyone was like... who cares...?

I suppose how it is all presented but right now the jumpy human alien zombie is hurting the street cred of RS.
From the Alien, which scott is tired of looking at but remains one of the most influential monster designs in cinematic history, to space zombie, which has been done a hundred and fifty zillion times.
DO NOT WANT.
Hopefully the transformation continues.

I liked Pandorum's explanation for the mutations, it was harder sci fi than most movies go for.
I liked the story as well and the whole ship and feeling, great Ben Foster...but not the mutations.
I hope this is not like "Hey Alien fans, there is a SJ in the corner...and lets get back to our 3D mutants!"

Even in "Alien" Scott didn't show us the full Alien until the end of the movie. Why should he show us the "Prometheus" creatures in the trailer?
BTW: 14 creature designers/sculptors etc. are working for "Prometheus" and creatures production manager =
WETA Digital. They will do more than a "human alien zombie" ;)

Reminds me of what they did to the hobbits in LOTRO.
"The actors that play hobbits in our movies are all being made to look small, so we certainly agree that absolutely hobbits are smaller than normal people, and even though we've cast actors like Elijah and Sean, they are being made to look small. We're doing this through a variety of techniques, like we're doing a lot of bluescreen work where we can composite them onto scenes at a smaller size. We're also using a lot of old fashioned techniques like forced perspective, which is a technique that you simply put the hobbit actor a bit further away from the camera than the human-sized actor, and therefore the hobbits appear to be smaller, which is a very well used and simple technique - but we've also made that more complex by being able to move the camera with forced perspective shots, which people have traditionally not been able to do, and we're using computers and motion control platforms and various other things to be able to push that technique to another level."

This looks like a mutant with the top of its head blown out. It looks really creepy and disturbing - and most, dare I say it, un-PG-13 like.
I was talking to someone who worked on this film in a limited capacity and they told me that the thinking is that a PG-13 rating can be secured because the most gory elements happen to synthetics and creatures. I had no reason to doubt this person - but now I do.
absolutely no way will "generic mutated man" be the final stage of that mutation. no way.
cmon if some gunks mutates all living organisms into another organism, when aimed at a human, you HAVE to have a stage where hes a bit mutated before hes VERY mutated.
i think this fear is an overreaction.
This is probably the escaping "chageling" scene, hes probably going to run off and activate his spacecraft, finish mutating into something beastly all with the humans trying to stop him.(with flamethrowers?)
Oh and everyone banging on about the serpent in the clip, there was somethin gthat looked a LOT like the thing in the urn, "bursting" through a layer of something towards the screen.
i'll try to find a cap.
Looks like part of the destroyed helmet (maybe the melting helmet we saw in part II) jumping over the "shuttle"...you see him then from the front jumping on someone in the other scene, there is the fire as well.
Im sure Ridley will have a ace up his sleeve, i mean his not gunna give away his money shot in the Trailer. Monkey man might be just a red herring for the trailer, and his real monster is yet to be seen. Im sure Monkey man is key to the plot of Prometheus but why would ridley show his main monster or human turning in to jockey in the trailer. As far as we know, monkey man might be a rogue android that got infected and the real monster/jockey is yet to be seen.
It's pretty sure that the real thing won't be revealed...otherwise i have to kick his a$$ personally.
Hopefully so. If mutated space man is as far as they go, I'll be disappointed for serious.
I can't remember for the life of me, even though i've seen Alien too many times to count, but when is the Weyland logo visible? Or is it even ever mentioned? I know they always referred to them as "the company" in that film, but never Weyland.
???
If the eggs are simply manufactured to destroy earth at the end of the film, meaning the Xenomorphs did not exist until 30 years prior to Alien; not only would it destroy the canon compatibility of the AVP films (some do care about them), games, and many of the comics, but it might also conflict with the idea of Alien Queens in general. On another note, It'll be difficult for me to watch Alien and hear Dallas mention "Seems fossilized, looks like it's been dead a long time" when this takes place only 30 years before Alien. All this recent footage is quite worrying, not to mention Ridley hasn't exactly been at the top of his film making game for a while now.

I was gonna say, I don't buy that the guy is mutated and that he might just be a bit singed. But a big chunk of his head is missing.

Likewise. Although he does say 'seems' and 'looks like', not 'it is'. Therefore our concern is not about the actual facts, just our own inferences. I personally like the idea of the original Jockey being very old and to have it so young would nerf it somehow, but it's age isn't in stone as far as lore goes. It could well be only 30 years old.

That guy is DEFINITELY A MUTATION!!
From what I understand - he will be one among many new forms!

I think you might be worrying over some very vague assumptions. We could easily assume that the derelict from alien and the craft in Prometheus are two different ships. Nor is there any indication that this craft is carrying Xenomorph eggs or implying that xenomorph eggs don't come from queens.
As for the AvP storylines I personally would like to see this film bury them in every way possible.

...also, Dallas isn't EXACTLY the sharpest knife in the drawer...
Random camera guy: This 3D technique is awesome, it looks as if the monster jumps straight into the audience.
Sir Ridley: Uh...that sounds cool, lets do it!

Right well im going back to my "he's just a bit crispy" theory. No mutation.
To the last poster, the Xenomorph isn't and will never be past it's sell by date, it just hasn't been done justice by the quality of the movies it's been featured in. Having said that I fully embrace and look forward to new creations.
What do you think about the release time of the trailer? Should i stay up for long or go to bed because it will be online only tomorrow evening? :D
I'm still not sold on the positivity of it being mutation
into an alien/monster.
I'm not saying I think it is one of the below, but it
could be:
- Burn deformation
- Virus deformation
- Extremely violent reaction to foreign substance
- Flat out weird mutation from exposure to alien something
- Insert weird alien induced medical thing here
But - I still don't think the deformation that we see
confirms that he is mutating into an alien... just that he is disfigured or mutated in some way.
After all, that mutation stuff was speculation...

This isn't an alien movie in the sense that we will not see any H.R. Giger monsters running around. We'll have a Jockey structure/ship, one or more Jockey's themselves, and a new creature that will echo of the xenomorph in the fact that it will most likely be a multi staged parasitic organism. Aside from the Jockey, none of Giger's (or any of the creatures from Alien) designs will be present here.
Also, where was it ever implied this movie was going to show us the actual creation of the Alien for any purpose? Let alone to destroy us. Why would they have to go to that length? I think the giant Jockey "Battle Wagon" as Scott referred to it on the Alien commentary, is enough of a direct visual connection to the film as anything else.
From what i'm gathering we're dealing with an encounter about us and our relationship with the Jockey's specifically. Not setting up origins or anything like that. Remember, it's not a prequel as we're normally used to them being. This is setting up it's own narrative. Things can go off in another direction from here.
The thing a lot of people have had a hard time realizing is this film has to do with the creator of the alien, and how it relates to us. From what it seems, we don't get along very well. That doesn't mean the alien does not yet exist. :)
What i'm getting at is, visually? Don't expect to see egg, hugger, burster, adult. You won't see them in this movie.
I'm glad, honestly.

I was gonna say, I don't buy that the guy is mutated and that he might just be a bit singed. But a big chunk of his head is missing.
He has his full head. The dark area is what remains of the guys hair
Right well im going back to my "he's just a bit crispy" theory. No mutation.
To the last poster, the Xenomorph isn't and will never be past it's sell by date, it just hasn't been done justice by the quality of the movies it's been featured in. Having said that I fully embrace and look forward to new creations.
It looks like from a video game....hmmm....Left 4 Dead anyone?
I wonder if whats happening to the people isn't from the jockies experimentation but from the android that pulls the container apart (cant remember his name). He'd trying to figure out how it works and infects certain crew memebers
The jockey's could manipulate DNA for specific species to transform them into something else. Kind of like whoever the f**k it was that did the same thing to the various zerg species in starcraft.
If indeed the original jockeyship is not featured in Prometheus.

Well let me reassure you buddies.
The Derelict is not the ship you see in PROMETHEUS.
You will neither see THE eggs nor THE xeno.
http://www.screenjunkies.com/movies/movie-news/comic-con-2011-exclusive-damon-lindelof-talks-prometheus-makes-peace-with-lost-fans/ (http://www.screenjunkies.com/movies/movie-news/comic-con-2011-exclusive-damon-lindelof-talks-prometheus-makes-peace-with-lost-fans/)
QuoteGod willing, if Prometheus is successful, and there is a sequel, it won't be Alien because the end of this movie, if this movie is A to Z, Z is not there's a bunch of eggs laying on the floor of LV-426.
The events that happened in the Derelict of ALIEN are eons old, as its cargo.
An "old" bioweapon (one of many) already being used for centuries by the Engineer's race to conquer planets when needs be.
The Derelict story will not be adressed directly.
The event that will unfold in PROMETHEUS will make you able to understand how the xenos are conceived by showing the same technology at work to create new threats and how the Engineers proceed to colonize Planets.
Hence explaining implicitly the Derelict story.

It is very possible. And there is another question about personality of the android. If Ash was older and more labile model,nervous, as Bishop said in Aliens, how will be this one.... ???

I don't think we'll see the Xeno, but how do you know it's not the same ship? Ridley even said it takes place in the same star system as Alien, one might assume the same planet as well. I know many of my fears and assumptions are paranoid ramblings from very little footage that could be far from the actual story, but at the same time, what I have seen has me worried. The Jockeys looking like humans and a zombie-ish infection is bad enough. And for those who keep saying this is not meant to be an Alien film in any way, why then is it in the Alien universe? Why is there the company? The Space Jockeys? And why does the marketing itself scream 'Alien'? It is a prequel, even if in the nontraditional sense. I just hope it gives proper respect to the canon of ALL the films if it's intended to be in the same franchise, otherwise they should have just made a completely original sci-fi with no Alien elements whatsoever.

I think it's a safe bet to say that the Prometheus crew are going to f**k some things up by their own actions.
Maybe the Engineers we meet are benevolent and it's the humans that start to ruin it all by playing with gods toys.
PROMETHEUS is not only the title of the movie but actually the name of the spaceship, name given by the humans themselves.
Sounds a lot to me like "hey we are going to steal the fire from our gods!!! Aint that cool!"
Won' be suprised some character experiments on purpose with the ampules contents and then gets taken away by his god complex, getting to the place where he kills god, the Engineer to take his place...

In my opinion this is the best way to make it work.
Avoid any plothole about the state of the Space jockey, and avoid the presence of the eggs.
But simply because Lindelof said so ^^

That sounds like the last 8 minutes that Ridley is talking about...
I dunno if it has been brought up yet, because I ain't been looking on this topic for a few days, but did anybody else notice that on one of the crewman's t-shirts under the new Weyland logo (which a lot of the crew seem to be wearing - Ridley included, with his hat), it actually says WEYLAND CORP?
Sorry if this has already been posted haha.

hasn't it been confirmed that its NOT the same planet
plus i don't think ridley has confirmed its the same solar system
I'd like to think (and hope) that the vessel seen in the trailer isn't the exact one from Alien. Imagine you saw the films in order, Prometheus then Alien.
After seeing Prometheus the audience know these vehicles contain various horrors created by the Jockeys, and shouldn't be entered.
Alien begins... and the crew of the Nostromo stumble upon another one of these crafts. The audience eagerly awaits to see what terror will come forth from entering the ship, and what encounter the crew will have with the pilot.

Likewise. Although he does say 'seems' and 'looks like', not 'it is'. Therefore our concern is not about the actual facts, just our own inferences. I personally like the idea of the original Jockey being very old and to have it so young would nerf it somehow, but it's age isn't in stone as far as lore goes. It could well be only 30 years old.
-Chris
The original encounter between the humans and Jockey race may be 30 years apart, but it's possible the jockey ends the Prometheus story by trying to time-travel to destroy earth during its inception. Armeed with a ship load of xeno eggs, the jockey (probably by some earlier intervention by Rapace) instead crash lands back in LV-426 a million years back, and the attempted genocide of their creation is thwarted.
Possible? I love speculating.

is it just me or is the guy that we see in the first image not look the same guy that has his face melting off ?
maybe just me
The acid helmet takes place in the Engineer's temple/ship.
The mutated guy is aboard the ship
Those guys are shooting at something human sized.
Maybe the guy gets infected, brought back into the shuttle, escapes and is hunted down by the mercenaries.
The face-melting is classic horror/sci-fi awesomeness there. I'm so excited but...
3 trailers for a trailer. But what is this first look, behind-the-scenes-esque feel here? Is that just me? Is there more to the trailer than only footage?
Inquiring minds want to know.

If the eggs are simply manufactured to destroy earth at the end of the film, meaning the Xenomorphs did not exist until 30 years prior to Alien; not only would it destroy the canon compatibility of the AVP films (some do care about them), games, and many of the comics, but it might also conflict with the idea of Alien Queens in general. On another note, It'll be difficult for me to watch Alien and hear Dallas mention "Seems fossilized, looks like it's been dead a long time" when this takes place only 30 years before Alien. All this recent footage is quite worrying, not to mention Ridley hasn't exactly been at the top of his film making game for a while now.
But geez what is Dallas's proffesion archeologist or being a captain of a ship? :D

This looks like a mutant with the top of its head blown out. It looks really creepy and disturbing - and most, dare I say it, un-PG-13 like.
I was talking to someone who worked on this film in a limited capacity and they told me that the thinking is that a PG-13 rating can be secured because the most gory elements happen to synthetics and creatures. I had no reason to doubt this person - but now I do.
That's the same guy who is jumping off the vehicle and the same guy who is shown on the wire in the behind the scenes. Maybe it's his final mutation.

Yes it exists but not in the trailer we will see tommorrow.
You can see the white slugish, serpent like thingie in the test trailers.
The one that was 15 sec and the other longer one that has also a character in spacesuit jumping from a structure to another.
Maybe FOX realized those scenes we're too spoilerish and left them out...

Its funny(or not) how this scene looked amazing, intriguing and fascinating in the low quality leaked trailer, and now, in HQ, well....this.
Imagine it through, look at the lighting, the textures, the raw intense atmosphere in that shot...
take out that Sloth looking dude replace it with a sexy black Giger Alien, guarantee you...
you'll shit a brick and slap anyone who ever said the Xenomorph isn't scary anymore :D

the dead SJ is NOT in PROMETHEUS, nor the Derelict, we get members of the same race and a same class ship and the event will not lead to the Nostromo nor the Derelict crash.
why do assume this? in the trailer yo see a derelict like ship crashing onto a planet, you see a jockey chair, why do you assume that it is not the same jockey and ship?
It's not the same ship. Derelict in Alien is landed/crashed at different angle like this one.

I don't know if I am the first one to mention this, or point it out (I have been away from my computer for 1/2 day and this thread is moving so fast...
However, is it just me, of does Mutant Boy look like he is sporting a full beard??

So what time will the trailer be up?
is it just me or do others think the films becoming less and less like the space jockey and more to do with the android messing with the space jockies tech?
EDIT
Or that The space jockies never created the alien in the first place. They go around and create life for planets etc. What if this film depicts the events that the android stole the tech. modified it on company orders to create a bio weapon. So in turn wayland created the alien and the space jockie was on a mission to get rid of it or at least hide the alien creature. Which will explain why the space jockie sent out a warning and why the company is so interested in the alien rather than the space jockies
This is interesting. Something that looks like a big Giger-ish seat and manipulation panels? Is it the same from the Comic-Con pics?

Something he intends to smoke, no doubt. ;)
looks like a little tube of rolled up paper, maybe he recently quit smoking?
I think this movie is going to suck im a hudge alien fan but what is it with mutated being jumping around check out the last scene of the infected space guy common 28 weeks later in space bull shit spewing >:(
Well i guess you have to wait for the final product...i never liked seeing humanoid lifeforms jumping THAT way but hey, maybe this is just a prestage of something awesome...lets hope so :laugh:
low gravity...
I'm not talking 'bout realism...it just looks silly. If you take any mutant-movie with such high jumping creatures it just looks silly - even if there would be low gravity...just not MY taste :laugh:
And if those scenes belong together, where you see him behind this "shuttle"...so if he jumps OVER that whole thing he wouldn't fall down as quickly as shown with low gravity...but fly away.
true. i guess we'll have to wait and see though

The Riddler does like a cigar. I've heard him spark up on a audio commentary or two.
What if he isn't jumping but getting thrown by an explosion?
Edit..Haha. Scratch that, I just saw the better vid. Definately leaping down.
At least there is no visible explosion, don't think it will be added...i guess he climbed it (as seen in 0:18) and then jumps off the structure. But this looks more like this classical climbing/jumping things nearly without touching the underground :laugh:
Quote from: Some Mothers Do Have Em! on Dec 22, 2011, 11:19:38 AM
What if he isn't jumping but getting thrown by an explosion?
After looking at the clip a fair few times, he, to me, looks like he's throwing himself onto the other person.
The other clip where there's speculation that there's a mutated being jumping up a shuttle, it looks to me like it's just someone being thrown up
and onto the side/wall by an explosion. My thinking behind this is there's an awful lot of brightness to the left of the person.
Onto other things: Has anyone else seen any hint of Guy Pearce in any of the pictures or footage?
I'm probably 95% lurker due to never getting any time on my PC (wife and kids seem to always have a priority on it) so I'm usually looking at all the threads and posts on my iPod and it's pretty slow going trying to reply to anything if I feel I should.
Has anyone else caught a glimpse of him?
Paul
I'm pretty sure the shot of the guy jumping down takes place in the same area, if not even the same scene, as the three dudes entering a room with guns drawn.
Afaik he was spotted dressed like a crewmember somewhere on the footage...pic was posted a while ago.
Looks like the guy jumps off the vehicle at the flame thrower guy, and maybe what we see a few shots earlier is the flame thrower guy then (getting caned by jumper guy with his own weapon at this stage) scrambling up the side of the vehicle trying to get away?
Well I guess this proves that the humans do mutate. So that leaked Synopsis might be true, which also means we might see Proto-Aliens having sex with the big head........Giggidy? :P
Guess i am one of the crowd who either "needs a new monitor or eyes tested", now eating humble pie due to thinking that was a creature in the scene with the person leaping from the roof of the vehicle. :laugh:

But she got good taste and trust mine when it comes to movies, i'm gonna get her hyped for it :D

Yep, definately takes place in the garage for me too, you can see one of the vehicles is damaged, probably sabotage leading up to that scene, smoke pouring out from the hood.

In the scene with the guns drawn you can see Noomi at the background and she is hurt so they probably are back from the trip and she is infected.
From there on i dont know who they are shooting at but i think there are two groups on the ship. one group with good guys and one group with some guys who know that there will be shit and some stealable tech.
I was unsure, which is why I pointed it out.
That would be 10pm-12am Uk time. It is 12pm well and truly there now.
Edit. I need to refresh my browser more. 20 other people have already pointed this out :)
Hurry up trailer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I haven't got the time to keep coming on here every few minutes to see if the trailer had been posted, so what are people's best guess for a possible debut time for the trailer?
By 12pm PST it should be up.

What I wouldn't give to see a slim, black, sexy, newly designed, Giger Xenomorph leap from the ceiling instead of that Goonie looking Sloth dude in Dead Space gear, nuff said :'(
Its funny(or not) how this scene looked amazing, intriguing and fascinating in the low quality leaked trailer, and now, in HQ, well....this.
Yep !
Looks like 'the hills have eyes' in space - literally 'retarded'
Hate the 'mutation' idea - makes it look and sound like 'Pandorum' - a truly shitty movie that as soon as I saw the mutant human zombie whatevers I thought 'fk this bollox' and sent the movie file straight to 'trash'
The rest of the footage in the teaser trailers looks really, really, reeaaallly reeeeeaaaaallllllyyyy good !!
This leaping deformed human looks stupid, mostly because its a type of image weve seen over and over and over and over and over again in tiresome, lame, predictable 'deformed' human/zombie/mutant/whatever leaps out at unsuspecting human and starts eating them alive type movie.......[one big yawn]
I hope this mutation/deformity thing isnt central to the film otherwise its like just another 'thing prequel', 'who's next', infection, zombie, seen it all before predictable tiresome and unscary Rob Schmidt's 'the wrong turn' on a spaceship stupidity
Can you grasp the idea that these zombies are probably in the beginning stages of a completely alien transformation?
Quote from: JaaayDee on Dec 22, 2011, 01:55:43 PM

Yes, totally, and I hate that idea too
'The Fly' in space
Still will be leagues ahead of 'Resident Evil' in space.
I think its fair to say that these people undergoing changes - if that's whats going on - are going to turn into some very grotesque things.
I think there's a lot of conjecture going on here without a lot of context exactly. Just imagine watching the Alien Trailer without any clue whats going on, in there you have shots of Parker and Ash and there's this white stuff, and hints of some kind of violence, but you have no real idea what you're seeing.
These people could very easily be under the influence of something growing inside of them. (Hence the woman "giving birth" etc...)
I think that the mutations are not really mutations so much as side effects of whatever gets inside their suits. Think about it.
No!!!!
Don't you get it?
Mutation suck!
It has been done in previous movies and revealed to suck every time so in this one it will suck too!
This movie suck already.
I know it.
Theres mutation in it.
Let's forget the fact that if you take a concept and give it to a hack director and to a great director that you might end up with a shitty version and a great version of that concept.
Lets also forget that the movie deals with bioengineering, and that you have many glass ampules vials that will probably have different dna in them giving thousand possibilities of creatures.
And of course lets forget that Scott will definitly show his main threat in a teaser 6 month before the movie release.
This movie is set to be an epic fail. ;)
Sloth is suffering from a terrible alien itching and desperately needs someone to help him to scratch.

What film is this from please ?
The Rock, by Michael Bay. Probably his only great film.
I have to admit that was a funny movie...
I think people get WAY TOO caught up in the "what ifs"...
I realize it's fun to speculate...and to a degree it adds to the build-up...but I learned a long time ago that to truly enjoy a MOVIE, you have to let the director tell his story.
I know this is sometimes difficult to do with movies based on novels...or in this case...a movie that is a prequel to an existing volume of work...
But you seriously jeopardize your ability to enjoy the movie IF you don't try and put your brain/heart on hold when you get to the point of thinking you will be seriously disappointed if the movie goes in a direction you don't want it to. Especially when you have another 6 months to wait for it.
While I'll never argue a person's right to have their opinion and don't want to (in the least) come across as if I am trying to tell anybody they are wrong or what to think...I do want to stress that you will get more out of this movie if you try and let the director's clues (up to this point and until the movie opens) be your guide. Ridley is a smart guy...and he knows how to tell this story. It's like being at an amusement park...just enjoy the rides.
P.S. For what it's worth...mutation, creation, and evolution have very fine lines between them. Surely if the Engineer(s) are what we think they are...what we have been led to believe they are by the director...then there's a good chance we will see bits of all three things in this movie. I have no problem with any of that...especially given what Ridley has said to this point about the story he is trying to tell.
"Mutant and Proud" ;D
She was more like "Mutant and kinky"
I am reminded of Leviathan, which itself is an Alien rip off.
Cant wait to see the HD trailer later.
The xenomorph itself is a mutant born from a mutated dna gene that is spawned from human + alien encounter :)
I guess that as long as the humanoid mutant has a long penis head of death instead of a mans, most of you "fans" are ok with it ( should that concern me?)
In fact i remember that under the dome of the traditional xeno lies human skull eye sockets....and a partial nasal cavity, has human lips and teeth........ 2arms, 2legs........sounds kinda the same as a man to me?
It isnt really the disign i find scary in alien cannon its the nature of the creature itself. It is whats going to happen if that thing gets hold of you ( they wanna f**k you , rip your heart out and then eat you:)
What amazes me about some of you is that your sooooooooo concerned with the "look" when in fact what i think is going to be shown are creatures that have a much much more frightening "nature" ( but still very nasty looking little beastys )
As a sidenote............. How the "mutants" look in hills have eyes isnt what makes them scary........its the fact that they wanna eat your dog , f**k your mom and sister and do horrible shit all the while, i dont remember sloth from the goonies wanting to do anything of that nature ( although would have made a good sideplot in my oppinion) but based on his look you would jump straight to that conclusion...... And how stupid would you look lolz:)
Great point icedog...as I've written before......if people believe that the original alien can still be presented in a way that's scary and fresh, so can human mutation, something of which is an actual reality.
I grow sick of people attaching their excitement or disappointment to a singular image as opposed an entire film. It's pedestrian.
The later Alien films became less about the alieness of the Alien and more about Ripley. The design of the Alien as a true source of fear/tension/horror whatever hasn't worked since the second movie. Of course it is played out.
But so are jumping space zombies. HOPEFULLY, there are more transformations/different types of aliens aside from our Alien in Prometheus. Otherwise I doubt very seriously fast moving space zombies will impact me the same way the original creature design did.
I can't help but recall William Gibson's failed Alien 3 script watching these previews, even tough his alien virus did mutate the host into Aliens eventually.
Which i am pretty sure stuck pretty close to scotts original idea, isnt that how the alien morphs bret and lambert in alien?
So lol can i ask............ Would it be ok as long as the "mutant" was encased in aliengoo?
Because again i must wonder about you people who want to see men being soaked in goo that comes from a biomech sextoy that covers you in his goo?
Egg-morphing? I don't know if anyone's brought it up, though perhaps that's what you were alluding to, but with all this talk of morphing & mutating we must remember that in Scott's original Alien he had humans transforming into Alien eggs. I'm not suggesting that's what is happening here, only that the concept is not foreign to the franchise.
What if............. The sj uses human species as a catalyst testtube? I know the sjs create life in the hope that one day it will evolve into an inteligent enough being to find its way back to the sjs, maybe there is a reason for this like.. They need inteligence before they mutate us into other things?
And i think all the human/xeno hybrids in alien resurection all look creapy as hell...... Just sayin :)
Best shot of the engineer's head so far in the trailer.

How the "mutants" look in hills have eyes isnt what makes them scary........its the fact that they wanna eat your dog , f**k your mom and sister and do horrible shit all the while, i dont remember sloth from the goonies wanting to do anything of that nature ( although would have made a good sideplot in my oppinion) but based on his look you would jump straight to that conclusion...... And how stupid would you look lolz:)
So by the same token you wouldn't have minded if the Alien in Ridleys '79 flic looked just like the 'creature from the black lagoon' man in a rubber suit and the creature would be just as terrifying ?
You saying that what the threat looks like is pretty unimportant is just as 'stupid LOLZ' as being disappointed at a particular image and extrapolating based on that image
Also those retarded homicidal imbeciles in 'the hills have eyes' aren't the least bit scary
You really find them terrifying ?
Stupid LOLZ

It's 'helmet' now, unfortunately...
A completely biological helmet, looks like.
Biomechanoid :) That's good news. Gigerish stuff still included. It looks like that "helmet" is grown, like a bone or something.

The xenomorph itself is a mutant born from a mutated dna gene that is spawned from human + alien encounter :)
I guess that as long as the humanoid mutant has a long penis head of death instead of a mans, most of you "fans" are ok with it ( should that concern me?)
In fact i remember that under the dome of the traditional xeno lies human skull eye sockets....and a partial nasal cavity, has human lips and teeth........ 2arms, 2legs........sounds kinda the same as a man to me?
It isnt really the disign i find scary in alien cannon its the nature of the creature itself. It is whats going to happen if that thing gets hold of you ( they wanna f**k you , rip your heart out and then eat you:)

Hello,
I hope one day people will get this: Cinema is a
PICTURE in motion, and
this is an art.
There where a time in the old days before Hollywood overrun the market where
people took care of what they had to shot.
Because they weren't rich and the development of a movie consumed a lot of
money and time.
When you shoot a movie, you take care of what to place into the square thing
called screen.
You don't stupidly shoot something as it is today.
It had to have meaning with the image because it's always stronger that the sound
which were a "nice addition" to the cinema but not something that should
be a whole alone.
Also, it didn't have to be story, it just had to be an art.
The look is important, ALIEN became what it is because of the creature.
Because of its design making a print into people head when first saw.
Then of course its action also printed in the head of the audience a mark
but since the movie is about the "look" (I dare you to watch a film with
your eyes closed) I believe people want new / original experiences.
At least I do.
Seeing how is prometheus for now, it just feels uninspired and déjà vu.

ehm....then what do you want Prometheus to be?? It is very easy to judge a movie that is 6 months from release by a one minute long teaser...(it's not even a trailer)....

Hello,
It is weird that in 5 years with 2 movie released (AVP-R & PREDATORS)
people still tells me "How can you judge by a trailer, there is still
6 months to go".
I said I was not going to like AVP-R & PREDATORS and it'll be shit to me
because they are both uninspired.
I was right, I did not like.
As I do know I won't like this one.
Visual Effects, ever heard about them?
Final Cut approval, ever heard about it?
Distribution of a movie, ever heard about it?
This three elements can take a YEAR alone
while the movie is already shot.
And in a hollywood movie, the story is usually
already done even before the shooting of it
with "sometime" minor changes.
So your 6 months thing is not even a reason.
And I don't want prometheus to be anything
anymore because I know it's not gonna be
something original.
The trailer already spotted it.
Unless you've never seen holograms, alien in a suit,
alien creating life, human expedition on another planet
that turns bad, blablabla.
Anyone worried should simply go back and watch the original Alien trailer on Youtube or wherever at least to see how the Prometheus one parallels it. There's no shots of the Xenomorph in the original. The really good stuff is saved for the movie.
Not sure if this was reported on in a post (I looked and couldn't find it). More of a behind the scenes photo....but great seeing Fassbender all suited up. ;)

Sure I've seen it before, glimpsed in the trailer for the, uh, trailer :P
Gotcha...wasn't sure....feel free to merge this or whatever works cap n'!
It's not really new, this is a screen-cap from the "In One Day" video, which was a run up to the teaser trailer... nice pic though!

So your saying that everything in alien except for the alien is uninspired and unoriginal lmao?
Sounds kinda retarded to me friend
Just some thoughts:)
