Also, if you keep reading, there's a line a bit later when Kane is in the egg chamber that says that the objects look like the one Dallas saw but closed up instead of open.

If the aliens are analogous to terrestrial insects...which they seem to be, since they go through more than one metamorphosis, a queen could develop from [i]any[/i] egg, based upon environmental changes where it was layed, or pheromones released from other hatched facehuggers, chestbursters, or fully developed "adult" forms. The source of a "queen" alien, isn't necessarily all that mysterious.

i think this is just an odd marketing tactic after watching the leaked trailer that "broke" Tom Rothman's heart a few weeks ago, seeing the Space Jockey's ship ascending vertically into the air, pretty much validated my suspicion that this IS in fact an ALIEN prequel in every sense of the word what is a bit puzzling to me, is why deny that it is...?, much the way Scott seems to have done ever since this film got the green light in any case, i hope this film has a similar impact on me that ALIEN (1979) did, i'm hoping for some truly deep / hardcore sci-fi from Scott and his team, and NOT the same redundant commercial "shoot-em-up" garbage that started from Cameron and all the rest... it's time to make a film that does ALIEN justice, rather than some rip-off that all the films that followed ALIEN seemed to have become

well Miyagi (duh!) but how does this relate to Prometheus? lol

It does not... it is in... and was made to be in.... the "Community " discussions sections which is for topics NOT about Prometheus. Just to answer your good question.

i would love to have a poster like that :)

@ Biomechanic, nah too obvious... Music video for NIN's only

a real good one though, no?

I believe I can go one better than that - I noticed something [url=http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/fox/prometheus/]on the background of the page featuring the new movie trailer[/url]. Take a look and let me know what you think: [img]http://peanutismint.com/Dropbox/PrometheusHiddenAlien.gif[/img]

Scoot said some time ago that the Xenomorph/Alien is 'worn out as a shape'. So it was unlikely there was ever going to be the original Alien design in this film & rightly so. I'm sure we'll see aliens of some sort (most likely the Space Jockey) but NO Xenomorphs ;-)

[b]@Spartacus[/b] that is very true in the home setting. More people might get the DVD, or download the film illegally. But in terms of the box office numbers I think PG-13 opens the film up to a larger number of people. At the end of the day FOX is a business. They will be looking for a sound return on their investment, and PG-13 offers them a 'low-risk' option.

thanks sparky for the heads up

can I ask if there is a way of uploading pics frommy laptop in this site or is it just URL's? thanks

No, you would have to use a hosting service and the link, right now, that's the only way as far as I know, sorry.

Thanks Spartacus I have done so via AVP Spectrum and linked to a new discussion on this site

I believe that the space jockeys are an ancient race that have difficulty with reproduction. The urns might be holding thousands of their young in stasus, but they are having difficulty with them surviving growth, birth, what ever space jockey's do. So when the humans chance on the space jockey planet they see them as an opportunity to help them reproduce, the egg's may be a product of human and infant space jockey from the urns. Thus It may be that the space jockey's were travelling to Earth to save their race with all of the eggs / urns? Who's to say that the xeno's do not mature into space jockey's?? I can't see the space jockey's being anything but malevolent. They may have created us, but the purpose may not be for anything more than cattle for reproduction.................................

It seems from the stills and leaked trailer we have all seen that something physically happens to Vickers and that something emotionally happens to Shaw. So I say that unless its one of the male characters (repeating the rape of the male psyche a la Alien) then we can pretty much assume it is Vickers. Question is, is she an android or human that becomes something else (post suggestion here). Personally I'm beginning to think that after all these years Theron has finally got a role that proves she can actually act (no offense).

I can't see Ridley going for a pinochio story where an Android turns into a human which has been suggested a few times. But I can buy the story of an android either trasforming into part mechanoid part bilogical creature or giving birth to one. I'm personally thinking that Vickers isn't the second android (if there is one), but a vessel for some sort of birthing experiment either planned by the Jockey's or accidently through human / android intrigue. I am quite intringued by the part of Guy Pearce, which I can find little information for, but the info there is suggests he seems to go through some sort of transformation wearing "heavy prostetics", so is it "space jockey" or "strands of Alien DNA"???

That is a good point... Guy Pearce, what information do we have on his role in the film, I don't even recall seeing him in the leaked trailer.

............ his characters name is Stammers and very little is known, there are hints that he doesn't play a main part in the film and that he has been wearing 'heavy prosthetics' for filming. Can't find any official interview confirming anything other than his character name. All the information seems to come from blogs ...........

Guy PEarce character name is Stannison and the only leaks we have on his character are those two ( and no one is surely reliable ) 1) he should be in heavy Prosthetics 2) he should have a major role ( and that should be confirmed by his name going third in the poster just after Rapace and Fassbender ) we basically dont see clearly any man in the trailer ( only david ) so is difficult to say of hes in the crew or not

Right now we dont know what there can be and what can be not .... there are xenos as we know them from Alien ?? Probably not and maybe yes ...words are few and maybe double faceted , what we know is a pretty reliable source that have said to have saw some "xenos" on the set and ridley that say that there is not the old xeno ( we will call him Luigi ) ...plus maybe the xenos are slightly different and that allow Ridley to say there is not anymore the old xeno . Who knows ! We know it will be not a direct prequel but "probably" the Alien movie will be made possibile to happen in the last 8 minutes of Prometheus . Everything we have saw until now show alot more than DNA strands but is POSSIBLE that the story fly in a total another direction. Everything we have saw until now contraddict a bit everything was said from FOX , Scott or the cast but since we dont know the Synopsis and no one have saw the "bad guys" we have not an idea

My view is that it will be a good thing if this movie is distant from the Alien movies. And I believe it will. All the signs are there. Look at the offical poster no signs of xenos or pulse rifles. A espoke Scott movie would be great. Yes I want the questions answered and the trailer seems to show sj ships crashing and all that. I would be cautious of what I see on the trailer. What is shown in trailer is often left out of the movie (Alien3). So the shots of falling SJ ships my never be seen again.

it would be like the trailer of titanic showing the ship sank and in the movie it arrive safely at the port .... the falling spaceship here look to me a too big and important ( and expensive ) scene to be left out .

well on Imdb someone posted that the trailer will most likely be on wensday. who knows if it is true. P.S. Invader Zim is my favorite show!

It is my belief that the derelict crashing IS the link to Alien, and possibly the only link to Alien. Whether or not the alien itself appears is anyones guess. It has been claimed they were on set but Ridley has stated they are not present in the film, either they were a ruse or Ridley is lying (wouldn't be the first time).

i dont think he lie ..i think he play with words ... i think that the spaceship falling on the lv426 could be the only link with Alien too ...but they would have explained too what there is in the eggs and why ( and why are different from ampules )

less explain more show I think is what we will see... Space Jockey raises up on platform... (maybe eggs shown loading into/already within derelict)... (maybe an egg opening or acid burn near the platform) derelict crashes... before and after this is anyones guess.

Also keep in mind that in the original alien when they are exploring the ship, there are acid burns in the room where the space jockey is leading down to the eggs chamber, I think that needs to be explained as well to form link to alien, that is a big question from original that I don't think will be left to the imagination as to what happened there

The alien is hands down the scariest monster ever created in film making, why wouldn't it make an appearance? I don't think it gets old as people suggest, I think it has endured for 30+ yrs and will continue to do so

my understanding is it IS but in a different form than we are used to seeing it as. which makes perfect sense.

Definately something xeno like in the trailer check out the link I've just uploaded.......

where's the link?

The pictures should be linked to the post 'Signs of Aliens in Leaked Trailer'. The pictures aren't clear but when playing the trailer super slow they are definately not humans.....

About the trailer.... The link from this post is my first viewing of it and honestly I don't see any of what ya'll are referring to. All I can make out is some explosions, people running around in space suits and what not, granted the quality is very poor, is there perhaps a link to a site that is better or do I have to wait for the actual release? I have a feeling we are going to get a christmas present from ridley in form of trailer release for war horse, that would put a nice ending to christmas day, would it not?

Agent Mothman, i agree invader zim is amazing :D and i also agree with the derelict crashing being the last 8 minutes because its a 2 part movie right? has anyone looked into if they are filming them separately or filming at the same time and releasing on different dates just like the last harry potter because some of the images like the space jockey could be from part 2 and the trailer just says Prometheus not Prometheus part 1 so that makes sense to me. that also means that part 2 will have much more to do with alien then part 1, can anybody confirm how they are filming fore me???? because i have no idea how to find out that stuff........

hello?

I've not seen all of these films. Some of the ones I have I had no idea Scott had directed. He directed Legend? That was a pretty awful film. Thelma & Louise as well? Didn't know that was Scott. Here's my ratings for the films I have seen; 1979 Alien - 10 1982 Blade Runner - 10 1985 Legend - 3 1991 Thelma & Louise - 6 1997 G.I. Jane - 6 2000 Gladiator - 9 2001 Black Hawk Down - 8 2007 American Gangster - 8 2008 Body of Lies - 7 2010 Robin Hood - 8

There isn't a director or Producer on earth that even come close to making as many 8's & 9's as Ridley !!! Ridley Scott is FLAT OUT one of Motion Pictures all time greatest directors and like I said there aren't very many that even come close. His body of work is unprecedented. His company is the likes of Leone, Kubrik, Coppola, Lumet, Pekkinpah, Spielberg, Lucas and Depalma. "BLACK RAIN" IMO is a Fantastic action crime drama with a fabulous score by Hans Zimmer set in Japan and with great acting and is at least an 8.0 or higher !!! I did not like Thelma and Louise AT ALL but giving that movie a 6 is way way wrong it is a 9 at least even though I hated it !!! It is one of the most loved films of all time and I freely admit that even though I despised that film.

He stands alone as one of the All Time Great's in Film History and "Prometheus" is ONLY going to SOLIDIFY that even more so. Oh and one last thing in response to what Neurion wrote about the Perfect 10 in film history !!! I don't think I have either, however of the closest 2 films I have ever seen to a perfect 10 ...one of them is his. They Are... "2001: A Space Odyssey" & The Extended Dirctors Cut Of "Gladiator" !!!
