I think Agent Mothman is on to something; we might be on LV-426. In the trailer at 32 sec we see a ship/shuttle entering the atmosphere of the planet (or moon) with a larger planet in the background with a rather close star behind it. Saturn's moon Titan has an atmosphere. It's also smaller then the Earth, bigger than the moon. As for the drastic environmental change... We have any of the space craft. Depending on speed, fuel, and/or mass any of the ships can change the planetoid into a rock... There is one other possibly as for why the planetoid is a rock when we find in Alien; Hades Protocols. The 'Engineers' could have foreseen the dangers of the biomass escaping and choose to sterilize the planet, killing all life, but the suit of the one in the ship protected the alien inside to burst out later.

In alien the crew says that the space jockey is fossilized which would mean it has been there for hundreds of thousands to millions of years which leads me to believe that it is not LV426. That would also explain why Ridley Scott said that it is not a prequel but instead takes place in the same universe. I'm hoping it isn't LV426 I think it would be much more interesting to see space jockeys somewhere else and it would also help to keep the ambiguity of what went wrong to the derelict craft in alien.

I tend to believe the space jockey went through [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mummy]natural mummification[/url] in the 60 years or so between the end of Prometheus and the beginning of Alien as opposed to [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fossilization]fossilization[/url] which usually require special conditions that don't seem to be present where the jockey is. The crew obviously didn't know anything about what they were looking at.

@Biomechanic The space Jockey was fused with the chair which is another sign of fossilization, also like I said earlier Captain Dallas states that it is fossilized. I suppose it's possible that the space jockey was grafted to the seat while alive and that Dallas observation was incorrect but it seems unlikely to me.

is a bit too fused to be fossilization ...imho ...

Tertrahydracanabonol Frantz, What % of that atmosphere is "Tertrahydracanabonol" ? That's what inquiring minds want to know !!! Does Ash Know...?... I wanna know !

What if humans steal technology, impregnate sj with xeno, xeno bursts from sj chest, killing it, causing ship to crash on lv426, therefore humans becomes creators of xeno, which happens in last 8 min which is link to alien????

The ship crashes, killing what's left of prometheus crew, all weyland yutani receives is transmission we hear in preview, so entire mission is lost and compnay doesn't know where ship is, fast foward to alien where company receives info about possible location of ship and planet and sends nostromo there to retreive alien which they already know they created and know is there

Ship crashes into planet, kills what's left of prometheus crew, weyland yutani only receives transmission we hear in preview, considers mission lost and doesn't know where ship and crew and sj ship are, fast forward to events in alien and company finds planet and reroutes nostromo there to retrieve lost info and speciman that it already knows exists because they helped create it

so, Alien, a pic of you ?

sweeeet "Alien" & I really dig that hat man !!! AWESOME !

Ya know what else...?... you look a bit like Julia Roberts's brother !!! LOL !!!

best thing i ever purchased at wal-mart

hahahahahahahahahaha...Seems like a great purchase to me as well, it looks really "Gangsta" on you bro !!! Cheers mun !!!

lol thanks man

There must have been some magic in those old mushrooms they found Cause when they put it in their mouths...their minds began to dance around.

He's a crew member who has been infected by alien dna.

I have it! It's Lord Voldemort in a space suit! 'In Hogwarts everyone can hear you scream'

Can anyone make out who this is? It looks like David: [url=http://i.imgur.com/wcdKC.png]http://i.imgur.com/wcdKC.png[/url] [img]http://i.imgur.com/wcdKC.png[/img]

seems like he is controlling the map by moving his arms

Yeah he is, I'll make a gif later. So much speculation, not enough clues haha.

It's Fassbender. For sure.

@ xentron: "the point of a movie is to make money" sigh... hasn't watching films by kubrick, scott, or lynch taught you anything? or maybe you prefer uwe boll films. as for the studio saving money therefore the floor textures couldn't be the same. are you kidding me? do you honestly think someone like scott making a prequel to alien cannot get money to make a damn floor the way he wants? do you honestly believe he had more money at his disposal when he made alien? cause that's what you're implying.

I know this much, If Ridley saw anything, noticed anything at all that the studios did not want to pay for but he still thought needed fixing, he'd pay for it completely out of his own pocket, no questions asked. He is a Man of above all else...Severely High professional standards and integrity.

it looks like a fossilized skull and lacks the padded look of the jockey helmet(with thick orbitals). and the reason it looks wide is probably because the space jockeys are large creatures. some of my doubts are absolved.

Lets compare the two... The Space Jockey head from Prometheus: [img]http://i.imgur.com/bKRMW.jpg[/img] And the Space jockey head from Alien: [img]http://www.martinocatalano.com/Space_Jockey__painted__toplit.jpg[/img] Looks like picture one is a skull, and picture two is a mummified bio-mechanical suit draped over the skull. Suggests to me that Space Jockeys are in fact an alien race.

it even has cranial suture marks.

whereas the one from alien looks stretched like in mummification.

it was the 1st leaked cam version of the teaser trailer, some where in these boards and posts I said it looks like two eye holes and is either a space helmet or an engineers head !!! or something like that. I just can't believe it really is that, and Ridley is having such massive BALLS to do all these new things and get everyone's minds jumping just like they are !!! Believe me, he knew exactly what he was doing...and even better...as someone said first..."he's even invented a new art from, the Trailer For The Trailer" !!! I am just so fucking impressed with this 70+ year old hero of mine more so than ever now and and after all these years of loving Alien and the franchise itself, of holding the prototype doll in my hands and my dad saying, "Trust me son, this is going to be huge"...and 33 years later here we are and the best is just around the corner... Even though we've never met, and he and Giger know not of my paltry insignificant existence I feel as if they are both my own brothers, that they'll always know what to do to pick me up and put some more "zing" in life...They know how hungry my mind is/was and that my 50th Birthday present to myself is going to be seeing this film. ...I am so excited for this I do not know what I am going to do the night before it premiers here in Montreal, there is no way I will be sleeping, but rather I will more than likely be watching the film that started it all...and hyping myself up even more....until I "prolly" pass out in the theater with the 3D glasses falling off my face. Is there anything on earth right now cooler than P R O M E T H E U S ? I cannot explain it, but somehow for me, even though we're just talking about a movie, It has become, fuck that... it IS, much much more than this.

I agree, Scott is the man... And i've been so obessed that my girlfriend says i should move in with the "space junkie" if im gona have it as the background image on my phone and computer lol but if thinking about Prometheus drives me this crazy, when Scott starts on the next movie in the Blade Runner universe, shit, i may not even have a life then.

hahahaha don't get me started on Blade Runner ...LMFAO !

In the recent Filmophelia article, Ridley states clearly he sees the fossilised Jockey image from Alien as a suit, whether it's fused to him or not (probably the former). I'm not convinced we've seen the actual Jockey yet though...a someone has already pointed, why would they reveal that in the first trailer if at all? I think the humanoid is the "Igor" to the Jockey's "Prof. Frankenstein", and all the more interesting potentially.

wow this will be like 12 movies wrapped in 1 !!! so far we got... Prometheus Jonsey The Cat Alien Frankenstein Contact 2 2001 A Space Odyssey The Thing {but in Space} Planet Of The Apes {The original} Chariots Of The Gods {The Film} The Adventures Of Hercules Heckle & Jeckle Rango LMAO.

I agree, I think this is the engineers terraforming Earth - seen at the beggining of the film.

whats more intriguing i think is the little ship seen zooming across the screen at the beginning of the trailer...[img]http://www.avpgalaxy.net/gallery/albums/movies/prometheus/trailers/normal_20111222_teasertrailer03.jpg[/img]

I watched Resurrection last week, to revisit it, to get in the mood for Prometheus. I agree with the person who said never mention that film on this site. It is BAD, real BAD, the cinematography is appaling, the script infantile, the characters? who cares!!! No character development or arc whatsoever. It is not worthy of the franchise at all. Like Scott mentioned, its films such as this which have brought the franchise way down. Alien is a masterpiece, Aliens is an awesome action packed rollercoaster sequel. After that it all goes way down hill. Alien 3 - The story is terrible, I mean come on they started filming and didn't even have a script and boy does it show. Fincher has washed his hands of his involvment with this debacle also. the fall from grace begins with Alien 3. Hopefully Prometheus will get the franchise back on track.

the problem with these theories is they disregard facts from alien. think of it from scott's point of view. would he retcon his own work? i dare say he's one of the more intelligent directors and would have the ability and integrity to stay consistent. for example, if the alien acid contained genetic material, wouldn't they have sampled it, diluted it and discovered it? furthermore, can genetic material even survive in acid that burns through several stories of metal architecture? thirdly, how good can an acid of such concentration be useful as a gene delivery system? these are all things from the first alien film.
