from watching the most awesome trailer...after many times...looking we see the iconic space jockey crash coming down from the sky in a ball of fire as some of the crew members, perhaps the ones remaining alive are responsible for the crash of the space jockey and...yes, being on LV426 after all...could the beacon have been planted by the remaining survivors of the Prometheus expedition? So much friends...so much to think about and discuss!

@Frantz If I'm not mistaken, that synopsis was the same one posted in these forums yesterday ( or a couple of days ago). I think it was a speculation by a forum member. If so I think that's hilarious that it's making it's rounds around the Internet already and ended up on Aintitcoolnews as an actual synopsis.

Spartacus some good writing there. The slave theory is plausible. But what about this. We know that there is a battle going on to raise the cert on the movie so something gruesome is being planned (if scott wins) and if you look at Gigers work its easy to imagine what. Some sort of human/alien breeding? So the humans are bread to feed the xenos which are then used to clean up planets for the terra-forming. All the talk from Scott and others over the months has been about something new only after much questioning did they eventually admit a link with Alien. I reckon this was done to please the financiers and broaden the fan base. Scott has always hinted at something completely new something thought provoking, so my take on this is that the link to Alien is tenuous and will not answer all questions. There was even talk of a second prequel last year. So we may learn little. I also I dont completely buy the fact that WYC are looking for a weapon. I always believed that there was something good in Bishop. Lets face it he seemed to be the only 'friend' Ripley had. If he is the face of WYC then I reckon WYC set out on the mission with terraforming in mind but somewhere down the line this all changes. Androids can be simply reprogrammed. Can someone please explain how WYC know so much about what is on lv426 in Alien. Enough to load up Ash 30 years after Prometheus happens unless of course, if you recall it took Ripley many years to get back to earth after Alien, it is Ash who is rescued and brought back to earth only to be repaired, his memory bank dissected and reprogrammed just in time to be signed on to the Nostormo. Someone has to get back from the Prometheus mission and I reckon its not a human. This thing is carrying info about the jockey ship on lv426 and whats on it so it must have witnessed the last events. In general I dont think lv426 will be significant here its just where the infected jockey crashes its ship and dies. Possibly it was carrying the eggs and one got loose. All conjecture of course.

~Frantz, ...part of the crew belive them as "gods" the other as "pervs" LMFAO.. Your whole post made good sense but cutting it to the point the way I think exactly had me laughing put loud. ~Spartacus, Ridley doesn't care about the other 3 movies. What happened in them weren't in thought when puting this together in my opinion. Ridley only cares about his baby...Alien, and he didn't even want to call this a prequel. Also my friend, in other posts you keep falling off the map about Weyland and time travel. The time travel deal is about the Jockeys Technology, not Weyland. Come back to earth my friend, your half way to Zeta on your way to an overdose.

Someone mentioned the transmission in the beginning of the trailer; i think its pretty clearly Noomi Rapace aka Elizabeth Shaw saying those lines. On a different note, im going to a Live interviewing of Charlize Theron next weekend, cant wait!! Vickers will be right in front of me, I should wear my Weyland shirt and have her autograph it lol :))

Some good thoughts there Spartacus. I think the slave theory is plausible. It has been hinted that this would be a gruesome movie and we know Scott is having trouble with the cert rating. Alien had an 18s rating but that probably wouldnt apply today. Consider this. The breeding of humans as fodder for the xenos or possibly to develope the ultimate xeno. Maybe inter breeding. Look at Gigers work some pretty mad stuff there and a lot of it sexually based. So the urns are in fact the basis for human production. On lv426 I reckon its just a last second shot of the jockey ship crashing on the planet and the xeno coming out of the pilot. The trailer seems to show well formed planets with even blue skies. Any terraforming on lv426 would have been found in Alien or Aliens. There was mention of a second prequel last year so we may be left with some questions still when this is all done.

loved what you all wrote. not saying that we will see a queen just that there had to have been one on whatever ship it was that crashed on LV-426. it is the suggestion and integrity of it that should be maintained IMO. they could just end the film with the ship crashing and that would be fine. Also, Scott is in fact using the Spaiths script and applied changes to it suggested by Damon Lindelof and himself to create a new story with a broader view of the Alien universe and including an ending in which the last 8 minutes will be familiar to fans of the Alien Franchise and contain "Strands of "Alien" DNA. I believe Scott cares very much about all 4 of the other films and that they're integrity is important to him as well. I also think their are countless other people who surrounded those 4 films and are surrounding this one that care very much about these things as well...in fact...I believe Scott himself stayed away from the idea of doing this project or any similar project before it because of how upset he was that the "AVP" films got made at all, That Fox got involved the way they did and that He, they, all want to restore some of the old glory of the original ALIEN film. I believe the ideas you all came up with are fantastic and I like most of them better than mine... ..all the same I think it will be a lot simpler and have more to do with the same old "Stop The Xenos" idea than it will anything completely new. ..and in Spaiths' script... ... one of the things I do not see them changing, Is the Growers Planet, and the discovery of human beings being exploited as slaves for HARVESTING this world and the uncovering of the first incantation of the "Xenomorph" species on it. To me this is more than likely where Scott went.

Before I continue, I need to take a moment to say I really enjoy this community forum and specifically this conversation. Its nice to be able to come to a site and talk with people who are as moved/excited by these movies as I am. OK back on topic... On Ridley and sequels: I have no doubt that Ridley values and appreciates the sequels. (Even if he didn't he probably wouldn't admit to it publicly out of respect/professionalism for everyone involved in making those movies.) What I (and I think others) am/are saying is that while Ridley may respect the other sequels, he may not have the same conceptual/artistic/story-telling views as those that created the sequels. Just as, for example, Cameron expanded, and in a way, steered away from some one the concepts originated by Ridley in the original film, I think Ridley will do the same with Prometheus. But heck, I could be wrong and for all I know he may work the "Queen" into the story in an intelligent way that makes the Alien species less insect-like and more "ALIEN". On the Spaiths Script: I know it has been confirmed (fact) that the final script IS a modified/re-written version of AN original script by Spaiths. I am just saying that there is no way we fans (at this time) can prove that the "LEAKED - HARVEST SCRIPT" was indeed the actual script that was first written by Spaiths and then modified/rewritten by Lindelof. For all we know that "Leaked Harvest Script" was written by a fan and passed off as "THE" original Spaiths script. While I do not like the Harvest Script, I have to specify that I do not like it for an "ALIEN" movie as directed by Ridley. I do, however, think the Harvest script would make for a decent "Twilight Zone/Outer Limits-like" TV episode or mini series. I just personally don't want to see that script as the Prometheus script or as any script related to Ridley's original Alien.

" Yes, and I wondered if he'd even release a 2D R cut and 3D PG-ish cut. There's a brief shot in the trailer where a lady is undergoing something horrendous, screaming "PLEEEASE!" - I wonder if this will be this film's equivalent of the chestburster "audience shocker" moment.
