MemberOvomorphFeb-24-2012 8:00 PMat this point i think everyone knows about the eastern island head looking rock formation in the trailer, and in the same shot i was talking about before with the trucks coming back, you can see TONES of them all over the landscape. i am starting to think that the face is just a strange anomaly that has nothing to do with the movie, BUT i think all of the rock formations end up becoming the strange rock formations we see on LV-426 in alien/aliens. here are all three pictures, what do you think???

MemberOvomorphFeb-24-2012 9:09 PMIf this is LV-426 (and I am confident that it is) it will have to undergo MAJOR changes to match the bleak, lifeless, dark, wind-driven planet we see in ALIEN.

MemberOvomorphFeb-24-2012 9:21 PMi had a cool idea in my head that the crust of the planet could be blown off all at once by some kind of super explosion, then the mantle touching space that quickly would cause it to harden as it was exploding out into the formations we see in the sketch (i think that's James Cameron's sketch for aliens) and then all of the atmosphere gets pulled back to the planet and all of the crust is now dust (no rhyme intended) and that's what makes so many clouds and what makes the planet so dark. i had that in my head for long time, but then i realized that the derelict would have been destroyed in that process, so it cant be true, but that would make an awesome scene would it not? lol :D

MemberOvomorphFeb-24-2012 9:29 PMAs I already said in an older thread, or this isn´t LV-426, or the planet sustained major modifications that rule out a time lapse of only 30 years between "Prometheus" and "Alien".
The problem with the second idea is that it is very unlikely that the crust could change like that without destroying the Derelict. That´s why I believe that the planet isn´t LV-426 _ what means that the alien ship we can see exploding isn´t the same that appears in Alien...

MemberOvomorphFeb-24-2012 9:34 PMunless it has a force field. nah just kidding, i heard someone say that on an earlier post, but i could not imagine something like a force field in the alien universe. what if the explosion starts from a devise in or on the bottom of the derelict and it spreads out around the planet, that would explain why the landscape is all melted against the derelict.

Co-AdminMemberOvomorphFeb-25-2012 1:34 AMI think it's the Engineer's homeworld. Not LV-426. That comes later.
Damn why can't June hurry up and be here already?!?!?!?

MemberOvomorphFeb-25-2012 4:28 AMIf you look at a cloud and want to see a face in it, you will.
Jeez, reflections in helmets, boat-races on rocks, lol, this is
examination and speculation at a sub-atomic level!
Not to worry, just three more months and we're out of the woods.

Co-AdminMemberOvomorphFeb-25-2012 4:59 AMIt'd be nice if a little more info were released. Something. Anything. The original release date is rapidly approaching, so they would just about have to have a fairly good cut of it done by now.

MemberTrilobiteFeb-25-2012 8:12 AMI'm sure I've said this in another thread but IMO the strange rock formations you are on about could be part of a terraforming process initiated by the Space Jockeys that super-accelerates the nature of the planet from a dead dust bowl to a primordial landscape, much in the same way as project genesis did in Star Trek II/III.

MemberOvomorphFeb-25-2012 8:15 PMShilliam Watner here. I have a major in Geology and what you are looking at is 'Pumice Rocks' caused by high explosive volcanic eruptions spewing rock fragments ( pyroclasts) and then created by the ash and gases leaving tuff deposits due to high gaseous pressure and cooling. They are then shaped in their cone style by millions of years of water and wind erosion. We have them here on earth today. I commend Ridley doing his geological homework on this film.

MemberOvomorphFeb-25-2012 11:23 PMthe first picture may be lvj but why the hell would there be a paved road on the planet

MemberOvomorphFeb-26-2012 6:56 AMIt's not LV-426, it's not the same Derelict class ship for a start. The ship seen in Alien was only seen from a distance but it is different from the one in Prometheus in quite a few details. Scott would not allow those noticeable changes if it was the same ship.

MemberTrilobiteFeb-26-2012 9:11 AMOr maybe scott wanted to update the look of the derelict, he was never happy with the way the one in Alien looked. We wont know either way until the film comes out.

MemberOvomorphFeb-27-2012 12:06 PMI'm almost positive that it is LV-426 as well. The condition of the planet as seen in the first film can be easily explained. For one thing the surface of the planet has a very volcanic look to it, as if it's very geologically active, so we can get many and varied landscapes in only a small area (assuming this is true). The crew in the original could have landed during a "small" storm, explaining why the weather in ALIEN seems harsher than what we saw in the trailer. Remember that in the teaser we do see Shaw get picked up by what looks like a windstorm.
Also, regarding the derelict, I looked up original drawings of the derelict and compared them to what's in the teaser, and I see hardly any differences. I really think its the same ship, and I'll be really surprised if it isn't.
