I'm guessing that there will be some explanation/detail on what looks like a giant alien race in the crashed ship (ie: what looked like a dead pilot).

I hope so, there were a lot of rumours about the Space Jockey

Now I know where I have seen Marshall-Green, Band of Brothers. Captured German apparently but I cant work out which scene he is in. Day of Days episode..

The leaked trailer shows a shot of the Space Jockey in the navigation chair rising up through the floor on a rotating platform so yes, we are most definitely going to find out the story behind that.

EDIT: Am I also the only one who, in that last still above, thinks the thing in the right-hand foreground looks like a dead humanoid creature and not part of the scenery?

Dead space jockey perhaps?

If so...FAP FAP FAP FAP

I'm confused this does actually involve Aliens/Xenomorphs doesnt it?

Or is it just another bug hunt?

Only slightly I gather, it's more of an Origins story about who/what made them so while they'll make an appearance they're not the main character.

They'll emerge near the end I imagine and this will explain how the derelict ended up on LV-426...just a guess though!

I hope it hasn't got a polished up Abbrams type of look to it. Them shots do look really clean. I hope the clothes they wear actually look like they've been worn and not brand new as well as the tech their using etc.

Non the less it does look good and I'm still really looking forward to this film as I'm a massive Alien, Scott and Giger fan.

Kesz · 4 Dec 2011 at 21:19

I have agree. The actors look too clean and pretty. Still though, looking forward to it!

It's back up

Ohhh a new Alien film! Good stuff. (not going to watch that crappy trailer leak

)

So it's called Prometheus? Plot's a bit obvious then.

Paul Reiser makes a comeback in his silver 80s suit...
Tries to steal Alien bio weapon from Space jockey Gods...
Messes up and gets kills everyone bar Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender and a small annoying girl...

Job done

That really is terrible quality, to the point where I stopped after 5 secs and decided to wait for the 1080p version.

Edinho · 4 Dec 2011 at 23:05

Cant see bugger all in that trailer.

L1ght · 4 Dec 2011 at 23:11

Why would anyone genuinely interested in watching this film want to watch a leaked trailer with a watermark and filmed with a rubbish handcam?

Probably one of the people most looking forward to this movie on these forums and couldn't wait to watch even a crappy little trailer like that

Anticipation is killing me on this, mainly because Scott is onboard, absolutely fantastic director who can do little wrong. Black Hawk Down is still one of my all time favorite movies.

NathanE · 5 Dec 2011 at 09:26

I watched the cam trailer the other week and it was pants. Couldn't see anything. It certainly hasn't "spoilt" anything for me!

I need to stop reading the various fan sites though... plot details keep getting leaked or speculated on

despite the godawful blur-o-vision quality of the trailer, frankly, ive gone from excited, to positivley salivating at the thought of another RS Alien movie.

neoglow · 11 Dec 2011 at 13:09

Its been rated in Canada as a 14A, roughly a PG13 in the US, which means it'll most likely be a 12 over here, maybe a 15.

Oh well, suddenly I have gone off the movie thanks to that. Well done Ridley, make a cack movie and cash in with the lower rating. Bravo.

How, just how, can you make a film that is the prequel to Alien, one of the all time great horrors and make it a 12 or 15. Its going to suck, just look at the recent remake of the Thing. Its a 15, and rating aside, its rubbish compared to the original.

I only just found this thread but I've known about the prequal for ages, it's called Prometheus, they were trying to get Ripley it in too
