@ Snorkelbottom - I don't know. In a recent interview (and the link is somewhere on this community), Lindelof said that there would in fact be a tie in that would satisfy the fans. I agree with you to a point - this is not a "xenomorph" movie, but Prometheus will tie into Alien in a way that shouldn't leave all the fan boys frustrated. He also made the point that this is not a prequel in that it does not lead up to the events of Alien like a traditional prequel would. In essence, this film could easily spawn it's own sequels rather.

Well my thinking would be this ... You will only see a RESEMBLANCE of the (future) Xeno creature ... NOT the Xeno itself ... because it doesn't actually exist or get 'created' (born, evolved whatever you want to call it) until we get to the ALIEN movie ... So I reckon there will be some sort of NOD at the end of the movie that would suggest that if THAT creature gets into a human then THAT will develop into the Xeno ... you won't need more than that to be honest ... just some form of continuity ... that will be near the very end of the movie so it doesn't end up in a human ... and so continues onto ALIEN ... That's my theory :) ...

Seems like with each release of a new clip more fans are being disappointed. I dont understand. For me each clip intensifies the anticipation i have for the movie. I do believe that some of the clips, video, and gifs recently release shed new light that there is a possiblity that the two stories of the indiviuals who claim to have seen advance screenings may be true. I think that may be a good thing. This movie will rock. no doubt about it. its going to knock our socks off.

I think the dispointment is from all the fanboys hoping for an Alien based movie and they now know they are not going to get it. Samll few no worries. True sci-fi fans will love this movie either way and I for one am looking ofrward to it now more than ever.

I would have thought the SJ or engineer would not have fit at that height through that door. He does look similar to the blue man. Could that be just David 8 mutated?

Bottom line....it's gonna destroy 90% of the bullshit SciFi put out to date, whether or not the Engineer is to scale or that the imagery has been used before at somepoint! I don't give a FU*K...got that BigDave and Didley etc...

@ dopelganger - I agree and disagree. I agree with you that this will not be a traditional Alien film with "xenomorphs" running around all over the place. I don't want to see that. No body wants to. It's been overdone. However, I believe that this film will tie into the original 'Alien' film in a way that will sufficiently satisfy most fans. Unfortunately, there will be some that just can't be satisfied. Those will be the ones who will want to see the face buggers, chestbursters, acid blood, and everything in between. That's why every new trailer becomes more and more of a disappointment for these folks.

[u]Let me give you an example[/u]: In Star Trek: The Next Generation, they rarely discussed the originally series, though there were a large number of fans that wanted every episode to somehow tie in with the original series. TNG producers never pandered to the fans (until Generations), and they worked hard to make it a stand alone series that could exist without TOS as its crutch. And it worked! However, there was one episode where Picard meets Spock on Romulus. Spock says that Picard reminds him of another Starship Captain he once knew. Of course, all the fan boys got an erection and shouted gleefully at their television screens, "He's talking about Kirk! HE'S TALKING ABOUT KIRK!!!!!" The reference that Spock made was stupid, lame, and unnecessary. He really should have just said, "Damn it, Jean Luc! You're too much like Captain Kirk!" [u]My point is this[/u]: Some fans want to see all the stupid, lame, tie-ins. You know, dumb references to "Aunt Ripley" or Weyland's "in progress" construction of the ore freighter, Nostromo. Or better yet, at the very end of the film, a xenomorph peeks around the corner and goes "Grrrr!!!" We don't need to see that. We're smarter than that, and honestly I believe Ridley Scott is too!

Could be also there are no beings to meet, and we get to "know" them by representations of them thorough their technology of genetic manipulation (by infecting us). All living things conform to DNA coding as far as we know right?

The being in the Prometheus is a Space Jockey. I think they can change size. They are bio mechanical. They can adapt to any situation.

It seems like the TV spots before were more tame, now that it is a definite R-rating they seem to be trying to get that across more

@ Macs - good point! And why does everything [i]have[/i] to enter through the mouth? It's the standard modus operandi in Sci-Fi nowadays. A creature that large would just give the average person a massive 'tummy ache,' and/or eat him from the inside out. Ewww!!! It makes more sense to me that the creature would either enter through the ear, if it was small enough, or simply bite you and deliver it's potent gene re-sequencing venom directly into your bloodstream.

lol at most of what i've read on here, i thought ther'd be fanboys muttering discontent. Its a tv spot. They aren't going to give the farm away in a tv spot. i really can't believe there are still people hankering after a bug that was old in 79. It was a one shot thing and it worked great in Alien. It would be a sure fire way to lose a shedload of money if there are xeno's in this. Am sure they'll make an AVP3, just for the fanboys, like the first two. Me, i'd rather see some great ideas played with and have something to think about, as well as a good story and action. Fuck the xeno's!! p.s. i imagine they couldn't show every orifice being raped in a trailer, so you'll have to settle for the mouthole and cornea for now haha (hentai freaks!!) lol
