- a spaceship getting close to a planet... - a spaceship ( that can be or not can be the same ) flyng over a snowy landscape ( i wonder if that is iceland ...so must be the beginning of the movie ).. it can be the first trip that the scientists do to reach some archeological site . I dont think is an alien planet ( because it conflict with later images ) - a crew getting ready to some exploration ..we dont know if the flamethrowers are kept to defence or to melt ice . - the get out on a big vehicle ( there were some shots of the interior with noomi ) and 2 4x4 recon vehicles - classic alien corridor - the ampule room with the giant head - the guy with the "acid" or whatever in the helmet ..there is another person of the left ...can be that they discover that they can breathe there with this incident because we have shoots in the ampule room with and without helmets . - ship arriving on an alien planet ( if its in chronological order that explain alot of things ) - lab analysis of the SJ head or helmet ( hard to think is an egg because is very similar to the SJ head of alien )..we have Vickers overwatching ..Davind sitting .. Noomi writing and one that can be everyone on the other site. -two guys in a suit exploring ( one can be guy pearce , he have the same glasses as in the preview ) - someone sitting on the bed reflecting ...he have someone near sleeping ( after sex between noomi e green ? ) ..the leg of her seems a bit bruised ... it was said that the two have a troubled relactionship . hes more a scientist , she is more a beliver. - David extacting something alien ...that have much in common with the facehuggers texture but look very "metallic" very rigid behind the green goo - Vickers running and stripping ...the spaceship look inclined ( falling ? )..i think is an emergency action and a fast change of suit .. hower the suit is so adherent that i dont see the point ...got infected ?? -noomi manouvering probably the big truck - the expedition from the beginning returning ( fast ) to the spaceship ( with an injuried guy ? ) ..the planet is barren so i dont think it have the same snowy landscapes of the start of the trailer - a fall with something big hovering over it ( barren planet ? ) - 5 people entering a room ...2 shooting ..to me the one on the right is that stuntman named "furdo" furdik ..i dont know the other .. maybe are the mercenaries ? or the magellan crew ? -Vickers entering some escape pod or cryogenic chamber , she is clearly in stress or scared in the following sequence - dude in big pain for acid or biological attack ( can be the one of the beginning ? ) ...to me the name of the helment is halloway ... - the star map chamber ( or atom chamber ) ..there is someone standing in the middle ( human to me ) ..is an alien hall - important image ...a woman falling on her knees full of blood ( look rapace to me ) ..in the room there is David , someone else and an injuried person (bald , can be the same near the raising SJs chair ?? ) on a weelchair ..very interesting sequence that deserve more study -explosion on a space jockeys ship in mid air -the mutant jumping on someone else in the hangar ( that other person is burning something or someone ) - the SJs trasmitter ( or whatever its ) ..bald guy watching it ( the same on the weelchair ? ) - vickers doing pushups ( i dont see nothing strange with her face ..is the same one have when tired ) - Janek watching something going bad ... - a giant cloud of debris clashing into Noomi while the others are doing normally their work ( she was getting something from the ground ? ) - someone being sucked up in the air ( by wind or something else ) ..he have a bag ... - noomi in deep pain - noomi watching the SJ ship ( i think this shoot is at the end of the following ones ) - panoramic of the SJs ship .... ( is vertical ... ) - 2 people escaping from the falling spaceship .. -the 2 running ..something is falling ( base of the spaceship ? ) but there is another alien construction behind -vickers and noomi running ( i think that at the end of this sequence noomi turn and watch the spaceship ..i can be wrong of course )

I wouldn't mind If we see something in passing in her ultrasound that looks like a facehugger but the movie ends before it is shown. Kinda think that last scene would be neat. They may be forcing her to bring it to term and some nefarious persons may be telling her to push and then it fades to black and you hear an unearthly scream of a mother terrified of the abomination she has given birth to. Credits roll. We are left to assume because of the next movie that the survivors didn't get to bring it back to Earth but instead it killed them all.

snorkelbottom, do you think that they will show scenes from the final 8 minutes in the trailer or that the whole sequence(ship blowing up, crashing, characters running for their life, plus denouncement will take place in only 8 minutes? (i don't say this with sarcasm and hostility, only disagreement) i think maybe scott was being vague. maybe related to alien as in the actual alien/facehugger shows up. maybe as someone else pointed out, a chest busting finale.

@ Snorkelbottom seriously?.... would u be disappointed if a zeno popped up it's nasty head somewhere in the movie? ....i won't be...but it has to look different from the xeno's we know....some kinda earlier link in their chain of evolution...something that at least resembles a zeno...but in the end... it's fine by me if they don't show up....tho Ridley better make up for it.....i don't necessarily want another monster movie....but just at least some element of that!

i dont think he will leave a finale " up in the air" ...it is not ridley scott ...he always gave a definitive endings to his movies ... otherwise we will have an ending just to feed a few geeks for years while the other 95% of viewers would remain with a "meh" on the face . I think he will give a good or bad ending ( but with some reward ) but with a motivation and a solid link to alien

Do trailers show footage from the finale of their films, of course they do - Fassbender wearing "the" helmet in xmen first class, the lead factory finale of Alien 3, the Ripley vs Queen in Aliens, the Alien getting up aboard the Narcissus in Alien, a battered Arnie on a cog shooting the grenade launcher from T2 etc. etc. I'll elaborate what I said before - Ridley Scott has stated that Prometheus, while being set in the same universe is not directly related to Alien and the story of Prometheus heads in a whole other direction, he later added, very clearly at Comic-Con that the only link to Alien will be in the final 8 minutes of the film - Derelict is from Alien, there is your link.

No i wont be disappointed if an Alien appears in Prometheus, I just think the likelyhood is low, thats all.

But the derilict is where the creature from alien is from (i'm also getting tired of saying Xenomorph....it sounds tacky)....anyhoo...I hope it is not just the derelict ship that ties in with Alien....hopefully their will be more....but whatever this movie is about...i will see it and I think I will very much enjoy it....tho I am just gonna pretend that I am not at all familiar with the alien franchise.....if it is gonna succeed then it has to work on it's own....so that someone whom is not even mildly interested in the alien franchise or whom has never even seen any of those movies will still enjoy the story and movie..etc.

exactly my thinking - Alien fans would go "oh its the same ship as in Alien", whereas none Alien fans would go "oh look a crashing ship".

@Snorkelbottom-Maybe they should add this additional tag line to the Prometheus Movie poster. "You Should Really See Alien before You See this!" That should make the non-Alien fans appreciate it more. lol

I'm just saying come on what is this our space jockey's brother in law's ride and we care about him why? Even if his brother in law was the real brains of the family and made us humans I don't care. I care about the actual space jockey and his ship and to hell with his in laws and their hoopties. His ship was a custom job as he is.... I hope.

Reverse you logic and you get the marketing idea of fox... Joe sees Prometheus, wonders what happens to the ship and watches Alien.

The 'Prometheus" crashes into the Alien ship as we see, there are parts of the Prometheus in the ground as we see Theron and rapace running...

i think the only marketing idea beyond that is "we get ridley scott returning to sci fi " i think that what we want is Prometheus to be an equally good experience like Alien ( prequel or not ) ..what we dont want is Prometheus ruining our alien experience ( like some sequels have done ) because is clear that if this movie show that there is something "human" inside the SJs suit many of us will throw up in the theatres .

Concerned about the bald humanoid in the space jockey room. To me that points to this thing being the pilot. Also intriqued by the saucer shaped thing above the waterfall. What is that?! Who's the bald dude in the wheel chair in the scene with woman collapsing in door way? Space jockey head/helmet on the operating table? Looks to me like we're not getting space jockey but space jockey suit ..... With big bald guy wearing it. Bah!!! :-(

I just read an interview with Scott where he states that the Alien it's self will NOT be in the film, feeling it has become too commercialized and lost it's scare. And honestly, judging by the SJ head on the table and the fact that this seems to take place on LV426, and that the derelict appears to be a derelict even during this film, there's a good chance we may never see a living SJ or alien at all, and the antagonists are the very crew that was sent there, possibly infected by some sort of virus or something that rewires DNA...
