I dont think exist a trailer R rated for a 100 millions budget movie ...btw the most scaring parts of Alien dont need a R rating

I agree completely with Frantz, and at the same time I think a PG rating will Hurt not help this film. And deep inside I want it to be Rated "R" minimum. That would say a lot for the content being Reflective of their vision, Untainted, & Raw and as Scott & Giger most certainly want it.

All the films in the Aliens/Predator/AVSP franchise that have been 18 or R rated have been pretty damn good. IMO, everything else has been a let down, i.e, AVP, AVP:R and Predators. Granted, a film does not have to be 18 or R rated to be a blockbuster or all time classic, but with certain films there is not necessarily alot of blood or gore but still an 18 rating is needed due to the psychological horror, and psychological horror is an important ingredient in the Alien franchise, something AVP, AVP:R and Predators were all missing.

""Ms. Rapace’s unwillingness to shrink from physical torment"" that explain what we see in the trailer ...so she is probably the first to "fall" or being "contaminated".... but she will not bow thanks to her faith or willing force ?? ....more and more interesting ...

I think you nailed that dead bang on Frantz !

Perhaps a mutated fetus is growing inside and it may be dangerous for her and the crew and they want to abort it. Being of strong faith would prevent her from that and she would resist them believing that God was right whatever the reasons for her condition. Could be related to what she is heard to say in the leaked teaser: "You've got to stop." - may be a person trying to tell her to stop the pregnancy "help me, help me please" "I was wrong." "We were so wrong." "I'm so sorry." - her realizing she should have aborted the creature.

Very interesting idea ...even if the "we were so wrong" contraddict it a bit ...btw you are sure that all the trailer phrases are from noomi ? Some sound a bit different ...but not of english mother ( and neither cousin ) language ...

Frantz I said the "you've got to stop" might be another person talking to Noomi. As for the "We" I am sure there were some nefarious characters that want the deformity to be born for whatever reason" maybe an android or two : )

BTW I think Rick was the one that first came up with the fetus idea a while back on this site. The abortion part just fits since it would be a hot button topic and one that relates to her faith.

I think you could be right about the foetus idea, it all fits in

I hear the studio is running around with a Giant Scissors cutting all the Genetalia off the Aliens again!

in that case i approve the giant scissors ...

LMAO

Think being a good screen writer and a good director they would want to find quite a few issues that the audience could more or less relate to without having to have lived in the future.. I mean seeing stuff get blown up and space ships and aliens is fine for kids but I want more story.

I think Repace will be in the film to the bitter end so can't see her being the carrier. It's got to be Therone as the first. I think Repace will be the one that believed in good in the space jockeys and then changes when they become all malevolent..............

Racepace could still be in it to the end and be a carrier of something at the same time. I had the idea earlier that maybe she is carrying the mother of all facehuggers. Maybe we never see it get born on film but. maybe it is a foreshadow to alien and we see a shady x-ray image of what looks like it during a medical scan.

Seems from what I have read that she's right there till near or at the end of the film.

She states in an interview she is a survivor

Maybe being a survivor is good for her but bad for everyone else? What if she lets this thing develop in her out of a strong survival instinct and faith in God to the detriment of the human race? Also many a strong survivor eventually run out of 9 lives and pay the reaper. Like a mountain climbers with too much hubris. I know I am casting a disparaging light on the Shaw character while the consensus here is that she will be a heroine but remember Alien doesn't exactly start all Rosy. Obviously the alien eggs remain intact, a space jockey dies and the company remains as evil as ever. On top of that I don't see why they would basically rehash the Ripley character to boot. I hope their is more to her than meets the eye right now.

that's very very wisely thought out and I wouldn't be surprised if you nailed it.

well another thing that hate in the movies is a open finale ...they save themselves BUT in the bag there is an alien !!

I agree Frantz that is why I kind of hope everyone gets wiped out. Ripley will then remain the strongest willed person and the only one who can out live this horror. I think that was the intention.

well we can assume that the most probable finale is that everyone die BUT the jockeys and the aliens are destroyed ..except a crashed vessel of course ....however i still hope in something more happy ^^

Oh and my idea about Repace not being able to have children will be why the Space Jockeys do not have designs on her, as I think they may be doing tests on fertile beings as they are having problems with reproduction as they have been alive for millions of years and they need fresh DNA to make their's stronger. And why they may chose Therone; and lets face it who wouldn't lol. But Repace is still a fitty :)

Nice ideas BUTI think you give too much weight to that Weyland Yutani thing ...i think that like in Alien the "company " is used for a smart plot twist or merely as a link to alien ... i dont think Scott will use that subplot that is mainly interest for geeks .

I see your point. I don't think the Weyland - Yutani thing will play a big part. But I think there is some definate deception involved (probably company driven) which results in the engineers / space jockeys releasing some sort of damage protection, i.e. xeno's. Or it could be that the space jockeys are long dead and we just learn more about their culture from the planet expolration ..........................

Mebbbe the company logo "W" we see on the vehicles and on Janek's shirt is the futuristic representation of the logo of Walmart!!

That makes sense, I've seen my fair share of mindless androids in Walmart.

As mentioned earlier and as is traditionally said I do not mean to be rude, and with all due respect to you guys, but we have established that for the purposes of the Alien Franchise there were NOT 2 seperate companies, everyone just assumed this, the name he created, as Ron Cobb so elequently explained, was a cross between the Giant European auto maker "British-Lelaynd" and a neighbor of his whose name was one letter different than "Yutani".

I have to agree with Spartacus. I have looked all over for any mention of a merger between Weyland & Yutani and I just can't find one. I just assumed it had always been one company.

A merger is mentioned by Scott here :[url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1637638/exclusive-ridley-scott-reveals-alien-prequel-details.jhtml]MTV Interview[/url]

The important paragraph, "Scott: It's Weyland. Weyland hasn't joined Yutani yet, so they go and see Weyland. [The film] is about the discussion of terraforming — taking planets and planetoids and balls of earth and trying to terraform, seed them with the possibilities of future life. "

He was surprisingly revealing in that interview. How much of what he said actually made it on film is anyone's guess.

another noticeable thing in there is the subtle hints {or so I felt} to perhaps reviving this machine and perhaps even the possibility of a Sequel/Follow Up to Prometheus.

I am inclined to believe he probably won't do any sequels but more prequels. If Prometheus leads up to the events in Alien then the next prequel will lead up to the events in Prometheus and so on. Maybe in this film Weyland and Yutani are already merged as the logos being seen suggest and in the next movie we will see how they merge and why.

I like your inclination, That would be so cool. I want these two guys Giger and Scott to do Prometheus Franchise movies into their 150's...and invite all those guys from the documentary in the "Memories of Aliens" section of this web site called "Alien Makers". I think these guys are a cut above everyone else when it comes to figuring out how to do things no one else can do in films....even more than say Lucas, Spielberg, Coppola, Tarantino, and maybe everyone else out there save for the late Stanley Kubrick !

Any reference to any of the films that came after Alien And please no Queen Ants!

Dwarf Tossing! Great Post by the way!

what i fear the most is a bad script ..for all the rest ive faith in the class of ridley scott . oh yes well i fear a bad ending ...i can accept half bad endings ( like the mist ) but total bad endings make me feel a masochist ...

Time travel and the rumoured Ripley flashback Any over-obvious CGI effects
