MemberOvomorph01/26/2012I always wondered why the egg on the official film poster looks nothing like the actual alien egg. Maybe I'll find the answer by rewatching these Making-Of films. Great effort Ripley Clone 8.

imseti
MemberOvomorph01/26/2012I think they didnt use the actual egg in the poster cause nobody would know what they were looking at

Starbeast
MemberOvomorph01/26/2012Yep, I buy that. But kinda contradictory the fact that they juxtaposed the word Alien with the familiar shape of an egg. But I'm splitting hairs now!

MemberOvomorph01/26/2012Maybe the did not use it because they thought that a leathery egg would hold the moisture for the facehugger better than a fragile thin egg? In the trailer of Alien it is shown cracking rather easily. Plus you wouldn't have the dramatic opening of the egg either.

MemberOvomorph01/26/2012the egg or the facehugger would NOT be as cool without the dramatic opening. little things like that make it much more awsome

MemberOvomorph01/26/2012which makes me think, some of the original Alien trailer was misleading (i.e. the cracking hard-surface egg, with green glow etc), in fact, the trailer for Predators recently was misleading too (remember the multiple predator laser crosshairs on the lead character). So I wonder how much of the Prometheus trailer is going to be completely not show up in the actual film.

MemberOvomorph01/26/2012It is a common studio practice to include scenes in trailers that are not in the actual movie. You may be on to something there as far as misinformation goes.

MemberOvomorph01/26/2012The scene in Spielberg's War of the World with them in a mini van and the freeway/bridge collapsing behind them was filmed just for the trailer and wasn't going to be in the movie, but was later added to the film.

MemberOvomorph01/27/2012if you've got the Anthology box set they explain why they didn't use the egg on the posters etc I'll have to have another look and let you know
