Yep, there are definitely some new things in this, but. I can't think of anything but that music. It was SO POORLY chosen, oh my god.

Personally, I'm not fussed about the music as it's only a 'teaser' for the actual trailer which may have a different tone to it. Still sounds pretty enticing overall. Regardless, I'm loving the grand vista shots of the landscapes in this, and it's pretty neat to see a spacecraft that looks like a Chris Foss painting come to life. The red 'laserlight' balls look neat too, and I wonder what their purpose is? And I wonder if that distant 'derelict'-style craft is in the middle of 'taking off' or 'landing' in that vertical position...or if it will actually fly through the air like that in general? (by the way, did you get that message I sent you recently Ripley Clone 8?)

Oh my God! I surely expected Prometheus be very very epic masterpiece, but this showed that will also be something definitely new and great! ilove those shots and the ship flying to the direction of the derelict, that seems to come out of a wormhole or something like that...

Very interesting ....so the scene of the two guys firing is connected to the scene of the "mutant" that go wild in the hangar ( i see also a burned body in the background )...also we see a spaceship dropping something ( an escape pod ? maybe connected to the scene of vicker escaping ?? ) while chasing the derelict ( going to ram it ? )

Well guys, I see how the (new) derelict crashes they rammed it with the ship. Right at 13 seconds an escape pod is jettisoned and the ship is aligned up with the (new) derelict in the sky. It also explains why they're on the ground right when its crashing.

the video wont play for some reason, but i saw the stills. in the frame with the derelict hovering in the air, isnt there a round ship hovering above it? and could that be the "UFO-like" craft we saw over the waterfall in the original trailer? if so, could we have a airbattle between the derelict and the so called "UFO"? is this the reason for the derelict to crash? I havent seen the video yet so i might just be shouting in the dark here. But still. Any toughts?

And by the way, Ridley said that most of the movie would be set in space, but almost all of the footage we have seen so far is set on a planet of som sort. He could just be pulling our leg. Just a tought.....

Korpen, hope you've seen it now, but I'm not entirely sure that the 'escape pod'(?) emerging from the spaceship is the same rounded-looking object above the waterfalls in the original trailer, as it seems to be an irregular shape when I paused the video. But as Rick speculates, it sure looks like the spaceship itself could be on course to collide with the 'derelict'-style craft ahead of it... As far as being 'set in space', I'm guessing there's a bit of space-travel involved to get to that planet in the first place, and reckon Ridley just meant that events wouldn't be set on 'Earth' for very long.

So happy from that teaser, they did not show much that's new at all. All I want from any new trailer is a shot of FRANTZ standing in line for the Premier.

I just posted in the news thread calling the alleged script fake, and presenting evidence as to why and then this is released with more evidence that the leaked script is fake (the red laser orbs). Interestingly from what I can see it looks like the Derelict is flying forward in the upright "U" position, bizarre.

Appears the temple theory is gathering evidence... Instead of a dust storm, does anyone else think that it might be the collapse or destruction of the Temple?. (sorry if its been discussed before....)

Temple theory? Its fact my friend, you can see it clear as day when the cargo door opens in the first trailer.

Well its not exactly clear as day. I dont doubt that there is a temple or cavernous mountain of some sort... But we wont know for sure until the trailer or film comes out...

the electronic piece on the far right side looks just ike an Apple G4 LMAO. I guess it's the Wallmart Version of that! At least Vickers can listen to her tunes while she waits to come back from space and marry me.

I agree what a poor choice of music. It sounds like Two Steps From Hell....which they used in one of the Twilight films. The music, like in the first teaser needs to be creepy....to get your heart racing. this did not do that!

I agree the music stands out...badly...but not all that entirely bad, just no where near as excitng as in the first batch of stuff.

Well @snorkelbottom we will have to see how it pans out, but I somehow doubt that HR Giger's design for the Harkonnen castle that he did for Dune will be used... I wouldnt say its fact though, unless you have a mate down the pub who just happens to work for Fox that says otherwise...

I'll go on record and say that the music is what would be expected for this; a "preview to a trailer". (Is there such a thing as a teaser to a preview to a trailer?) The original trailer was meant to do exactly what it did. Mirror in sound and visuals the mood for the original ALIEN film (watch them side-by-side if you doubt that). This "preview" has racheted up the music with the epic-sounding "rising choir vocals", etc... while still incorporating the orginal audio elements from the original trailer. I've done some soundtrack work and would expect Saturday's trailer to be complete balls-to-the-walls epic visuals and audio, with an expanded version of what we've just heard, or perhaps something even larger in its aural scope.

as far as I am concerened the Blueray DVD of this is the REAL FILM, and NOT the ONE THE SUITS and their GREED are shoving down our throats on June 8th. If I were Scott, here's what i would have done. i would havbe mede this thing as dark and horrible as possible at 18+ with an R rating...and told Giger to "Go Nutz" make 'em as sexualy deviant as you want...and then told the SUITS...screw you, I'll use 250 Million of my own money and make you all look like fools, PLUS I will take constant shots at you through the film for destroying or trying to destroy or unintionally trying to destroy the credibility of this entire franchise with your stupidity.

I love it that they show more but still withholding the best for June cinematic presentation. Ridley did exaggerate when he said most of the film will be shot with physical effects. The shot of the ATVs speeding off is all digital, as is the drop ship landing And I wager there will be all digital shots in the movie. They look fantastic though. Lotsa Dutch angles that Scott is not known for. I really miss the physical effects in older movies like STAR WARS, 2001, and EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. I think those days are really truly truly gone. The digital look is still too mushy for my taste.

I think what he said was he was going to "never go back to regular cameras and shoots, and that everything done from this point on would be done using 3D technology". I do not recall him saying anything other than that but if you say he did he must have so can you find the quote you are referring to please so i can follow you here? Tx.
