MemberOvomorph12/20/2011I have a feeling there will be some very creepy creatures in this movie, but likely [i]not[/i] those we're used to seeing in "Alien" flicks. Haven't the traditional xemomorphs been done to death already?

MemberOvomorph12/21/2011There were so many different versions of the original zeno. All of them after Alien were good, but less sinister and scary to me. It's hard to imagine that at least some form of the original won't appear in this film. There has to at least be some explanation for them ending up on the SJ ship. They may not appear in the original form, but SOMETHING similar to them has to be revealed, or at least some explanation for the existence of the facehugger.
The trailer clearly shows the derelict crashing after some kind of explosion. I think the primary plot of this movie will be that after we discover whatever the thing is that David is pulling from the ampule, that it infects the crew and the SJ ship is dispatched to clean up and contain the mess we made on LV426, not to go to earth as has been discussed previously. I'm also wondering if there are more than one derelict, as the one in the trailer appears to have more extensive damage than the original in Alien did.
Scott's continual use of the "original DNA" comment sounds more like a disclaimer to me than anything else. I can't imagine the original zeno being topped by any other creature in terms of scariness or originality, but I guess we'll see.
The bad thing now is that after we see this trailer, that's gonna be just about it until summer. What a let down!!!!!!

MemberOvomorph12/22/2011No, there will not be any xenomorphs according to what we know. I hope you're not disappointed.
Even if there were, it would not be the kind of movie where the aliens are loose on the ship, picking the crew off one by one, like we've seen for the past 30 years. There may be something xenomorph-shaped at some point, but it won't be the main attraction.
