Prometheus

One day early peak at the trailer! SPACE JOCKEY!!!!!

Looks pretty incredible. :)

I get a definite Alien vibe from it.  A scary, dangerous take on space exploration.  :)  I swear I caught a glimpse of the derelict from Alien there.

You did. The ship, the Space Jockey, even what looks like a Space Jockey skull.

I have a link to what is "supposedly" a synopsis of the film. I read it and it looks pretty legit. If anyone wants to read it PM me and I will send it. Otherwise I will keep this thread a bit more spoiler free.

Hit me with a PM, dude. :)

I guess it's extremely likely that this takes place in the Aliens universe.  I wonder what time frame we're looking at?  The tech level looks similar to what we saw in the first film.  Same time-frame?  Years & years earlier? Distant future?

PM sent! Let's take any more chat into spoiler tags but after reading what I sent, all we be clear. :)

I so don't want to be spoiled for this. I am very curious about some of the particulars though, and knowing there's answers...very tempting.

I checked the article out (thanks Bryan).  It seems there's now some question as to whether or not the information contained in it is legit.   A lot of elements ring true, and would be awesome to see onscreen.  One story element actually gave me the good kind of goosebumps when I read it.  A few story elements feel a little too far-out for my taste, but would still probably turn out cool if executed properly.

[spoiler]  I really, REALLY hope the Weyland-Yutani connection is there.  Even if nothing else from the Alien universe is there, having The Company involved would be a perfect, tidy way to tie things together. [/spoiler]

Yeah, I have read that as well. As far as your hope above, 100% yes, it's in there.

Cool teaser trailer.  Love the feeling it invokes.  I'm going to try pretty spoiler free, except for what is shown in the trailers themselves.  Glad to see Ridley going back to this universe.

If you are ok with Spoilers and some amazing in depth analysis of all this, there is a great thread over at the RPF on this:

Personally, I don't care about spoilers. Part of the fun is trying to learn all that I can before watching the movie. Been that way since The Empire Strikes Back storybook revealed Vader as Luke's father a month before the film came out. It made my anticipation even greater. I WANT to know! That's part of entertainment for me.

I'm fine with waiting for the movie.  Knowing too much to me is like knowing what's inside your Christmas gifts before you open them up.  I want the movie to surprise and impress me when I first see it on opening day.

Yeah, I agree. I used to be spoiler-heavy years ago. Now I just enjoy seeing the story unfold. I get angry if there's too many trailers of a movie I want to see.

Someone did an edit of a trailer for Alien done in the style of Prometheus...it's pretty cool!
