I think Ridley Scot and Fox have royally f****d everyone with the continuous stream of teasers and trailers, they have really messed around with the continuity so much that we don't know if we are coming or going. The speculation will all come to nothing , they aren't going to give anything away, nor should they. They have deliberately fanned the flames of speculation so much, the rumour-mill has now started working mega-overtime. It's a fantastic marketing campaign which will possibly be, due to the stupid priority system we sign up to, remarked upon more than the actual film. I have no doubt this film will be a milestone, 2012's "2001"! Will it be remembered for the film or the campaign? Ridley's legacy does not deserve to be skating on the, potentially, thin ice of marketing , it should be judged on his fantastic "eye", how. every frame is a picture of texture and lighting., each scene with a tight narrative, nothing wasted. He's the real-deal a true genius of the film world offering a visual banquet with every frame for gorging. But, the company men from Weyland, oops sorry I meant Fox, will have their day before his, unless there is a sequel to the prequel.

I am fine with all of the speculation coming to nothing, and I've done a ton of speculating! The marketing has hit a pretty good balance between tantalizing and revealing without ruining the plot.

Safe? Of course he isn't safe, but he's good!

you do realise that Ridley and his Brother Tony and His son run a massive advertising company, you do realise that Ridley did over 2000 commercials before the Dualist, in England hes a legendary Advertising Director. All of this marketing is his idea its what he does best.

What an ignoramus up there, I mean can I get some back-up on this guys. Since when has anybody seen the likes of preparation and publicity campaign that has been planned months ahead for a movie of this magnitude?!!! Not even the mighty James Cameron with his world box-office breaking records Avatar, and the ad campaign for that doesn't even come close.

@ Craigamore you'r right dude it's just that I'am so passionate about this stuff that ignorant comments like that get me pissed-off. One of the greatest directors in Sci-Fi history makes his return to the universe he helped create in what is sure to be and epic film that could very possibly kickstart the franchise with a trilogy of films and someone wants to put him down cause he has some good business sense?!!

who cares we are just excited to have a real sc fi film on the big screen. the media campaign is not minimising the impact of a sc fi world that was introduced to me in 1979 as an 8 year old and has haunted me since. RS is a good director even on a bad day. you know what too its nice to read the posts from so many other fans from around the world. its a cross generational film that is just gonna blow us all away.

Oh, is this where we come to fellate Ridley Scott? Try watching Robin Hood before you strap on your kneepads, He's not infallible.
