The Planet In The Trailer is NOT LV-426...IMO

1. The featured alien planet is NOT LV426/Acheron/the original planetoid.
a. No adjacent ringed planet.
b. Different atmosphere.
c. The landscape features do not match up.
d. The new ship does not seem to be crashing onto a mountainous perch as in the original.
2. The extra-terrestrial/Space Jockey vessel is not the same one as in the ’79 ALIEN film.
a. Its outside appearance is different.
b. Its inside appearance is different.
c. The “chair” and “chair chamber” is different.
d. The platform/disk/turntable has very different features.
This is some of what I think may be going on:
Prometheus and crew are led to an as yet unexplored (by mankind) alien world.
They follow the clues left on Earth ages ago.
They discover a seemingly abandon or long deserted Space Jockey outpost.
They poke around in the dark.
Bad genetic shite starts to happen with some of the crew.
One way or another, the SJ’s come on the scene or are alerted by the human presence and or tampering.
The SJ outpost turns out to much more massive (deeper underground) than originally assumed by the humans.
Near the end of the film, the SJ(s) attempt to disembark a vessel bound for Earth.
The captain crashes Prometheus ship into the SJ vessel, effectively bringing it crashing down. But not before Shaw and Vickers escape on an EEV, stranding them on the planet surface.
Perhaps just in time to see yet another SJ vessel launched from below the planet surface.
Perhaps it’s a more familiar vessel…carrying familiar egg shapes, bound for planet Earth…but never gets there…due to an infestation.
I think that it is also possible that the SJ/humanoid figure seen in the trailer could be a sort of android…or cybernetic organism…since much else seems to be bio-mechanical…why not him or them too. He or it, looks fairly “biomech”…to me anyway.
Anyway…just some thoughts.
