I wasn't talking about hyped films.
Some other guy was saying this won't be as good, because it isn't an 18. He seemed to have the opinion, 18 rated films are best, just because they have more violence etc, in them.
There are plenty of rubbish 18 rated films. A crap film is a crap film, 18 cert or not.

whoa actually looks decent

You can definitely see a massive hint of Alien in that trailer, the cast however looks to me to be more akin to Event Horizon
Jury still out for me

So is that the very same ship which then appears in Alien? Are we going to get the events leading to that ship being loaded with eggs and it taking off now?
Soldato
Wow, certainly looking very good!
Soldato

I'm working on the vfx for that abstract shot 54 seconds in. This is probably the first film I have worked on which I am actually looking forward to watching.
Soldato
wow i actually did a sex wee, more so then the batman trailer..next year is gonna be a great film summer
Soldato
The ship looks like Serenity 
I hold the original Alien films in high regard, I love the 80's charm with real life sets and little CGI, so this better had be good to satisfy me. That said however, it will probably be watched and enjoyed in its own right without comparison.

Just thinking out loud here...
When Ridley Scott said in various interviews that this movie is about "a question that nobody asked" from the first Alien movie. Everyone assumed he was referring to the Space Jockey in the chair. But that never made much sense to me because the Space Jockey has been a question that's been asked right from the start, it's been explored by entire comic book series for christ sake!?
I think the real question he was referring to was:
Was the warning beacon/signal they received at the start of Alien actually as it seemed? All we saw was the computers power on, doing a load of processing then powering off. Could it be that the Wayland-Yutani corporation programmed the Nostromo cargo vessel to purposefully wake the crew up at this position? That would have course imply Wayland-Yutani had prior knowledge that there was "something interesting" to be explored on the LV-426 planet. It would also explain why Ash, the android, was so intent on violating quarantine rules and tried to ensure the alien sample was brought back to Earth. Suddenly the explanation presented in "Aliens" (the sequel) of that particular model of android being "always a bit glitchy" holds less water IMO.
This isn't actually a new question. It has been bugging me for many years
It is a logical question to draw after watching both Alien and Aliens, because Aliens adds far more background story on how deceptive the whole Wayland-Yutani corporation really is.

Weyland-Yutani already knew that the beacon was a warning. They had programmed Ash with Special Order 937 in order to bring back the alien lifeform. None of it was by chance.
Soldato
Wonder if we'll see some Preds in this film or at least some sort of connection
Soldato
Yeah i agree, Scott referring to the Jockey as the never asked question doesnt make sense as it's always been asked. I think it's a case of who sent the signal, was it the jockey or was it the research vessel, and im sure at some point in Aliens, Ripley states that they were "sent down there on company orders to get this thing, which destroyed my crew".
WY is the dark shadow in all this and it's a question of how much they knew about it all from the start.

Are those cylindrical objects at 30" in the trailer the facehugger eggs?
Soldato
Exactly my point! But Ridley Scott would be right then in saying "it's a question nobody has asked" because even I have only recently started asking the question of "how did WY corporation know there was interesting stuff on that planet"? And thus that's where the sequel gets born from!
lol don't be silly!Jay794 said:
I've heard speculation that they are facehugger embryos. Like the first stage in some sort of bio-genetics research project.ic1male said:
Or perhaps they are merely facehugger eggs that have been repackaged into a metal warhead shaped object that can be "paradropped" onto planets as the Space Jockey ship flies past.
Soldato
I think the Alien that we know is actually derived from something else and its our fault that whatever "it" is turns into the Alien species.
I think those eggs in front of the face is some sort of place of worship. The actual eggs are dropped on a planet to terraform it. We get involved while searching for where we came from and end up changing the eggs into Aliens.
