What am I

lol....seriously...i never thought of myself as a geek?....but reading threw this.....the mere fact that i got this far...i guess I am one!...if so much as one pixel changed on any frame of the trailer it will promote some thread or speculation!....I am not immune to this....but still....very funny!

Maybe the ship crashing is the result of an accident then...only 6 months 15 Days 3.5 Hours 37 minutes and 8.4 seconds until we find out for sure though.

once again I feel compelled to point out that the weather, atmospheric conditions, and the landscape, all may have been drastically altered in the 30 years between Prometheus and Alien.

it's 5 months...one week and 3 days!...get it right sparky..;)

To Ridley Scott, the concept of continuity is Very Important Deal !!!

My apologies I was not being confrontational but rather wrote what i did Because of your questioning it all at the end of your post...And of course, because despite how much we all beat it over the head, in a nice way I mean, the odds are drastically in favor of that planet being nothing other than LV-426.

IMO Ridley Scott is the kind of director that will watch every scene in this thing over and over and over again for just that, continuity errors and will order that several editing changes are made as he finds such anomolies, and would never, ever, allow this thing to go public until he was absolutely convinced it Works !!! I bet he is waking up at 4 a.m. these days in a cold sweat after realizing in his dreams what needs to be adjusted. In a way, his reputation IS HINGING on all of this and should he end up making some massive mistake no one is ever going to let him forget it and he is reluctantly tuned into this and focused on it's massive implications for his own career, or what's left of it, I am quite positive.

I would just love that Bio, that's a fantastic idea, but at the same time I fear that as someone else mentioned, the events in the trailer have got to be part of that "Last 8 minutes" Ridley was referring to. For what it's worth I really hope we see a lot more happening on LV-426 than just the film coming together at the end on itself there.

I've heard that before and wondered the same thing...He must have been drunk. I hear he likes scotch a lot !!!

Have to be a subscriber to see it.

"I am toying with a two planet scenario" Must be: the waterfall with the saucer over it looks Earthlike, and the party testing its flamethrowers appears to be setting out onto somewhere harsh but habitable (Iceland!) whilst the crash scenes look like an airless Moon. I still don't get the significance of the shots of conventional centre-line-marked asphalt road though...unless this is movie people's code for "A journey takes place".

Why does everyone assume that the crashed ship in the trailer will be the derelict from Alien? It could be a completely different ship and planet. Remember, it's not a prequel per se--it doesn't have to directly lead into Alien, it just involves elements from that universe. BTW, does anyone have a screen shot from that flicker of static with the end credits during the trailer? I grabbed it but I don't know how to post it here. Anyone have any idea what it could possibly be?
