Prometheus trailer

i also saw waterfalls, a guy in a space helmet shooting a hand gun, a ship blowing up, and other stuff. if you go to the trailer i first posted and go to the 1:06 mark, you can see one of the characters looking at the derelict standing and then in the next shot it starts to fall.

well yeah the obvious things i saw, but things like the jockey emerging and the ship crashing.. nope.. i mean i can see the ship, but whether it's crashing or not i'm not sure, as for the emerging jockey, nope, not even vaguely (this is what i can see though, some will have better eyes than me). I see the girl dropping to her knees, but not sure about the mutating thing. I see the group f people firing pistols (or the future space equivalent).

really??? i thought that the things you are seeing are the harder to see things and the ship and the jockey were the really easy to spot "oh my god!" things in the trailer.

For my money, the slowed down trailer posted on 12/3 by Biomechanic is very good. And it's sound seems spookier to me. One question that just occurred to me - if that's the derelict crashing at the end and the humans are running away, how did they happen to be right where it was going to crash?

thats is a very good question and i would say "suspension of disbelief" or "magic" but this is Scott we are talking about so idk.

maybe the saw the ship and determined where it was going to land or something like that. well the movie is about Terraforming or something like that right? what if the science team went there to start setting stuff up to do that and the space jockeys (who from romers are life engineers that start life) were observing our evolutionary progress when shit broke out on the ship and it crashed. i might be over thinking it there but i like that idea.

I have a feeling the mercenaries working on their own got desperate and sabotaged the craft to prevent them leaving with something important. The unsuspecting science team working around it watch it ascending not knowing and then it explodes and crashes on them like the Hindenberg.

or maybe are those famous last 8 minutes ...someone sacrificed himself and destroy the alien ship that was going to destroy earth ... two survivors try to avoid the crash ...and we are on lv 426 ... :p

That could be possible Frantz although personally I don't like the idea of a hero. I want people to die from greed or hubris. All except Elizabeth that is and I think she is going to be the downfall of the Nostromo because of her nativity and faith.

Story wise they should all die in the end but knowing movie studios these days they will probably have the main character live in the end like in "the thing"

Alright this movie is going to be something good. IT'S RIDLEY SCOTT!!!!! The trailer is amazing! If the Space Jockey is a suit that would be pretty cool! If it is the way we know the Space Jockey that we know in the Dark Horse comics EVEN COOLER!! THE ONLY WAY THIS MOVIE CAN FAIL IS IF WE GET DANCES WITH WOLVES IN SPACE! By the way was it me or did I see a guy get acid splashed in his face in the trailer? I am gonna have to agree with Spartacus the negativity should just ease up a little about this.

What negativity? We have not said one bad thing about it :(

That's my whole point, it cannot miss. If we cannot have faith in these 2 guys that are like heroes to all of US... One that created and directed Alien and the other that designed the art work used for it and created the book that contained the painting which inspired all of this to begin with, than who the hell are we gonna have faith in? I hope it is completely different from what we all, even me expect and we all are stunned, but no matter what, I could not expect anything than but a TOP NOTCH solid 2 hours of complete Joy...just knowing I am getting "them 2 more hours" of this from them. I do not care, and it's not like we're gonna see another "Jar-Jar-Binks", come on people, this is SCOTT and GIGER !!! They are the real gods here !!! And I believe 100% in both of them !!! This is a GIFT !!!

Once again, what are you talking about? There has been no negativity said about the movie this entire time, did I miss something?

evidently.

What I love about Ridley with this movie is he is quoted saying If Alien was a souped-up B-Movie, then Prometheus is a biblical epic. “Alien felt epic,” says Scott “, but this one is Epic.” I love this enthusiasm that Ridley has about this movie and to top it all off....Its a Sci Fi movie he is talking about!

Give an example.

No one said YOU were being that way but if you read the thread back to yourself you will see that it seems headed in that direction, with tons of speculation about what might work and might not work, what I am learning to do is just let it happen...I believe in these 2 guys, not sure about how everyone else feels but there really is no reason at all to worry about any of this...these are 2 Master Painter Story Tellers at the Top of their crafts!!! One paints on canvas and with exotic materials and the other with a camera and projection screens. Plus, the more we see of this film the more we destroy the intended effect for all of us, which is to see it the way Scott and Giger intend for us to!!! At the same time if we speculate and worry about the suits and how they might or might not do stuff or restrict the creative process it does not really accomplish much because in the end we are going to get what we get, and if anything got cut out it'll show up on the dvd's after. I am positive you would all just love for this film to have it's maximum possible effect on you in the theater whether that be good or bad, but you would also want it to be natural and truthful and not compromised by Knowing anything of it's content beforehand !!!

"Alien" really was just an extremely well-crafted haunted-house story......in space. The story doesn't really have all that much weight, and relied on shock-value imagery to stick with the audience, after they walked out of the theater. Perhaps this movie will be significantly more thought provoking............. but Kubrick understood that when it comes to an impossibly advanced alien intelligence, less is almost certainly, [i]more[/i]. Getting up-close and personal with a putative "God" can only diminish it's implicit power, because our imaginations are much more fertile than any concrete realization on film will ever be.

I think Scott himself said some of that exact same thing "artyoh".

Thanks. That makes me more hopeful.

Look Spartacus, the entire point of forums like this is to discuss and examine what we know. If you think that this is a bad thing then fine that's your opinion, but if that is the case then why are you reading? If you don't like people speculating what we know then just do something else Prometheus related. Talking about what the function of the hose on the space jockeys face is is not going to take you out of the film or make you experience it any less, its just something for us geeks to talk about. I am not trying to be mean or anything but come on, no one is saying anything negaitive about the movie here, negative talk would look more like this-"this movie is going to suck really bad"-what we are saying is not that so.......chilax

dude I am not interested in arguing you asked I answered forget it knock yourself out do as you wish.

Sorry :( Did not mean any offense

.....…………I feel like a dick now. Well anyways I think I see a xenomporph in there, I am probably wrong but it looks like it's turning it's head. Anybody else see it?

No Xenos definitely. That name was invented by Cameron anyway. We will see the fresh spin these two, quote Spartacus, "master painters" will bring to this universe. Ridley is NOT INTERESTED IN good old "XENOS" anymore, he was hinting to that pretty clearly. And it is good this way. They are creating something original now, which will also be ripped off and sucked dry later on by much less talented filmmakers.

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!
