It was on Aintitcool.com. I'm not sure if it's in the film or not, but Guy Pearce is in the movie. It does kinda feel like a promotional piece but it's a cool speech.

Yes indeed. The time frame of the movie can't be 2023 like he says in that video though. I hate when stuff is too close to now.

The movie takes place in like 2050-something. This is what leads to that.

There was a recent interview with Ridley where he said that the only ALIEN connection is Weyland Yutani. I just have a hard time believing that. I bet we see some kind of xenomorph in this film. The amount of attempts at distancing itself from ALIEN makes me think that old dog put a lot of ALIEN in this film.

I think maybe the distancing is from being identified with those awful Alien vs Predator movies than Alien and Aliens, both classics.

Personally I'd rather just pretend AvP doesn't exist.

I don't think Ridely even acknowledges those films existing and having anything to do with what he created. I have gotten the impression he liked the Cameron film. He's being very sly, he's pee'ing on my leg but telling me it's raining!

Well what's so great about Alien and Aliens together is they are so good in the universe, but also very different in feel. Alien3 just fell flat, and I'm in the same state of mind for the last one as I am for AvP. Prometheus gives me hope because it's Ridley back in charge and I hope like Alien and Aliens it take the universe and really adds to it, while being different in feel too. While not being generic monster movie of the week like Alien 4, and the AvPs into, just banking on the Alien franchise and some shiny action. The clip posted makes it look deeper than just generic monster movie, so I hope I'm not wrong in assuming and hoping this to be epic.

^ Well said. I can't wait to see what he has up his sleeve. I think Alien3 was in universe, they got that part right, it felt like it belonged in the Aliens universe. It was just a curious part of it.

Yeah, I didn't put Alien3 in the generic monster movie category, but it just feel kinda flat. And one of my biggest dislikes for it is right off the bat...
[spoiler]Newt and Hicks being killed. It makes all the efforts of Aliens pointless. All the work to survive and to save Newt just ends like that.[/spoiler]
I don't consider it bad, just when I think about watching through the Alien movies I almost always just watch the first two and don't really care when it comes to 3. Occasionally though I do still though, it's an alright trilogy (yeah it's just a trilogy in my book).

Yeah, that was unfortunate, they invested a lot of the audience emotional energy in that and then just tossed it out. I just got a kick out of the inmates and their performances.

I think they teased the last trailer with a shorter one too, didn't they?  Oh that Ridley!  Such a tease!  ;)
