February 26, 2012To be honest, I was looking forward to the Prometheus trailer having the exact same atmosphere and music from the Alien trailer ([url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjLamj-b0I8]this one, of course[/url]). It would be nice, but times have changed from 1979 to 2012, and movie trailers are templated at this point, and a more unique movie trailer probably wouldn't be "acceptable" to whoever's in charge......but I don't know how that behind-the-scenes political stuff works.
It was a smart move of them to put in that Alien siren noise, though. At least they did that, and I can live with that.

Well, we'll know if it changes the genre once we see the movie.....but I do like where this movie is going, and I'm particularly attracted to some parts of the storyline, dealing with the whole "ancient astronauts" theory for one. Human history, despite everything we know, is still full of secrets; religiously-speaking, the Hebrew scriptures have tons of grey spots when detailing humanity's progress, and it's possible that some visions seen by various people could have been extraterrestrial entities (such as Ezekiel's vision). The Nephilim, a race of giants prior to the Flood, could have been extraterrestrials.
I'll stop there. As I said, this stuff fascinates me, hence my attraction to that one part of the storyline.
