I'd be surprised if they even know the comics exist.

Here's the international trailer. Not quite as noisy, but gives us a little more detail:

Don't usually do the ARG thing with movies. I had fun with Cloverfield's campaign, though.

It's a prequel in the sense that it's in the same continuity and features stuff like the Space Jockey ship and Weyland Industries (which eventually becomes Weyland-Yutani in the Alien movies), but Ridley Scott's said several times that the xenomorphs themselves will not be in it.
Either way, it looks phenomenal. |

I have a feeling we'll see the xenomorph lifeform perfected in some way by the end of the movie, or it's development hinted at. We'll probably know for sure that they are weapons or some kind of 'galactic cleaning' measure like the installation rings in Halo.
My thing is these Space Jockies, or from what I guess... this one Space Jockey, fell victim to a facehugger. His fate is sealed from what we see in Alien. So are we gonna see a Space Jockey xenomorph as a final boss sort of deal? It must have been dealt with way before Ripley's crew found the ship, otherwise Kane and the others never would have made it out with some beast in there (assuming these things live that long without... whatever they eat to live). Also, it seems like the Space Jockies been to Earth before. Aside from the obvious questions of whether or not they created us or assisted us in the past, what makes this Jockey flip out and wanna come to us with xenomorph cargo ("If we don't stop it, there won't be a home to return to!"). Did we do something wrong? Did the Prometheus crew do something wrong? Prometheus paid a price for stealing fire (which Weyland likened to technology) from the gods. He also gave pause to mention of the invention of gunpower ("A game changer, that one."). There's hints that while Elizabeth and her guy are on an exploration trip, Vickers and David may be there for reasons closer to how Weyland-Yutani conducted themselves in the later movies. The android on Ripley's crew revealed that the company knew about the xenomorphs (or at least that there was something worthwhile on the planet). Is the Prometheus crew's real mission to steal fire from the gods, only to suffer the mythological figure's fate? In this way Peter Weyland's viral speech was some sly way of giving the general events of the movie. From what I see Weyland is ego-maniacal, and more than likely considers himself a god already. The Space Jockies would pose an interesting measuring stick for him, that I assume he probably would not accept. He would think nothing of sending a crew in to clean up that alien ship and claim anything found at the expense of his workers. Hell, this may be the true intent of the company's 'Building Better Worlds' colony expansion. Last edited by Kalyx triaD; 03-21-2012 at 03:47 PM. |

That Fassbender is a great actor I hope that he doesn't become a flash in the pan like many others have in the past.

Just saw the trailer before Hunger Games....I am a huge Alien fan, and was trying to avoid it so I could go in seeing it 'cold', but I couldn't look away once I saw the little familiar things, and then I saw all of the big familiar things.
Damn, I am so excited for this movie now. |

Damon Lindelof on whether 'Prometheus' is an 'Alien' prequel, plus life after 'Lost'
by Chris Nashawaty Tags: Damon Lindelof, Lost, Prometheus, Ridley Scott, Summer Movies ![]() For six seasons on the cult TV show Lost, writer Damon Lindelof learned a few things about keeping fans in the dark. Not a day would go by that someone wouldn’t come up to him and ask what it all meant. Needless to say, he became good at keeping secrets and stoking an air of mystery. All of which has come in handy on his latest project, Ridley Scott’s hush-hush sci-fi space epic, Prometheus. Lindelof, who shares a screenplay credit on the film with Jon Spaihts, has been tight-lipped about the film in the walk-up to its release on June 8 — in particular about the question that’s on every fanboy (and girl’s) mind: Is Prometheus an Alien prequel as has been rumored? EW spoke with Lindelof for this week’s cover story; here’s a transcript of the full interview. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Did you get a chance to visit the set of Prometheus? DAMON LINDELOF: Yes, I spent about a month at Pinewood Studios in London — a couple of weeks at the very beginning and then a couple of weeks about a month in. To me, after working on Star Trek, where we did a lot of green screen, I was bowled over by the vastness of Ridley’s sets at Pinewood. It felt like old-school filmmaking in all of the right ways. You walk through those doors and you are transported just by the sheer audacity and magnitude of some of those sets. The studio has been keeping Prometheus very secret. So I’m going to try to pull some teeth and get you to talk about some stuff you’re sworn not to talk about. How does that sound? You do your job, I’ll do mine. Okay. Let’s start at the beginning. Tell me how you came onto this project? We finished Lost in May of 2009. And following that, after doing a show for six years, I dropped off the face of the planet and went with my family to Italy for a month. I told everyone I would be incommunicado. When I returned, I let everyone know that I would like to do a movie project. We had already committed to Trek 2, but J.J. [Abrams] was still putting the finishing touches on Super 8 and I had two or three months before we had to dive in on Trek. So about two days after I put that signal out that I was ready to go on some casual dates, I was driving down Ventura Blvd. in the Valley and my agent called and said. “Are you available to talk to Ridley Scott in five minutes?” I slammed on my brakes for some inexplicable reason and pulled over. I didn’t want to be driving through some bad cellular zone on the phone with Ridley Scott. So I just sat there and prepared to sit there for two hours. Because ‘Are you ready in five minutes’ when you’re talking about someone of Ridley Scott’s stature, just be prepared to wait a while. Did he say what the call was going to be about? My agent said he had no idea. They wouldn’t tell him. And as I was sitting there I was praying that it was the Alien prequel that I had been hearing about. As a fanboy, I knew that they were developing it. I said to myself, Please let it be that. And sure enough, five minutes later, my phone rang and it was Ridley. There was no pomp and circumstance. There was no assistant saying, “Please hold for Ridley Scott.” It was just him. And he doesn’t know that he’s Ridley Scott, so he just dove right into the conversation. And he basically said, “Hey dude, I’m going to send you a script. Let me know what you think.” And I’m not going to be like, What is it? I just said, “Yes, sir. I look forward to that.” And that was the entire conversation. And so about an hour later this guy shows up at my house with a screenplay and says, “I will be sitting in my car. When you are finished with the screenplay, you can hand it back to me.” So at this point, I’m like, It’s the Alien prequel! Because with this level of tightened security what else could it be? So I read the screenplay. |
