That would also explain the opening line; "A king has his reign and then he dies..." "It's inevitable" Implying the rule of mankind and it's downfall/end.
Managing expectations. Attach the title of arguably the greatest sci-fi movie ever to this project and it will be guaranteed to disappoint.
Since when do Hollywood companies care about expectations?

What's the mystery? They've been featuring the ship from the start of Alien (and the space jockey) for a while now. Anybody who's seen the movie can make the connection.

I'm going dark on Prometheus from now on until I see it on the big screen.
I think Ridley is calling the shots with this one, not the company. At least it seems like it.
except for the rating
Also it'll probably help with reviews to keep expectations as low as possible.

Watched the trailer.
Looks great but I think that most of the time Charlize Theron is a terrible actress, so she de-hypes it for me.
I'm like... "why are you in this budding masterpiece"?

Jesus Christ. That thing pushed all my nerd switches and then gave a wedgie.
I'm now in full blackout mode. See you on the premiere, GAF.

So GAF, there is this chick that completely turns me off but always shows constant interest in me. She has been working on Prometheus and will no doubt be attending a cast and crew screening which may or may not include a +1. They normally do include a plus one, though.
Do I take one for Ridley?

I fucking hate that this movie is coming out in August in Germany. Seriously 20th Century fox?
Are you asking if you should sleep with a girl you're not attracted to for a chance to interact with perhaps the greatest living visual director of our time?
Because I think the answer is clear.

No, probably just a screening a couple weeks in advance. Crew all around the world working on this baby.
Oh.
Exactly how not-attracted to her are you? Is she really ugly or is it just a case of average person who for whatever reason doesn't press your buttons?

It was more a hypothetical. She's not ugly, but her personality is grating to the point where the fallout probably wouldn't be worth it.
It also seems to fit with a (supposed) synopsis I've seen elsewhere, and that's not good...
Just most of it, then?
Nah.
If you have to ask, don't do it. Lol. If there is any chance of something like this working out, you wouldn't even have to ask, based on the circumstances.

Duckroll let me just say that you look fabulous in that avatar.
What Duckroll said. Had it been for a chance to meet Sir Scott, you would have no only tapped that, but gone down on her after.
But just for an early screening?
Nope. Don't do it.

It is so full of spoilers >_<
I'll say District 9 was a truly great sci-fi film.
And Moon a better one
Shit, still need to watch that.

I guess I was thinking about sci-fi in a more restricted sense. Like, space exploration with a dash of drama, in the vein of 2001 or the first half of Sunshine. Or you know, Alien.
But yeah, District 9 is great. In a different way and for different reasons than I expect Prometheus to be.
Honestly I thought these two were high-quality genre 'B' movies, but I wouldn't call either Great with the upper-case G.And Moon a better one

What about the Predators?
That's because great isn't a proper noun, you stupid duck! Though I'd largely agree with your assessment. Highly watchable, very well made, very clever, but not on the highest tier.
Prometheus is easily my most anticipated movie of the year.
Oh, saved for future use.

Fox wants a PG-13 theatrical cut. They have told Ridley he can release his uncut/director's cut to Blu-Ray so no worries there.
Before anyone gets too crazy about the PG-13 rating, ALIEN would most likely get a PG-13 rating if released today. There really wasn't much blood(well except the chestburster scene) and little swearing.
This trailer is so epic. Real sets! Real vehicles! Model work! Very little cgi from what I can see. Ridley said he wanted old school big sets and practical effects, it looks like it from here.
I'm so in theaters at the first showings June 8th!!
I do too, think we'd like Green Lantern more if it had more robots?

Prequel doesn't have a good association. And the name Alien is associated heavily with Sigourney Weaver. And there are a lot of obsessed fans that recognize the Space Jockey but most people will think of the Xenomorph when it comes to the first film. They probably thought a lot of people wouldn't understand how this is a prequel to Alien and to explain it would give away too much of the film.

I hope this trailer works on people that aren't already going to see the film, nothing so far have got my friends interested in going and I'd hate to have to go and watch this on my own.
I made one of them watch Alien and he said "it was ok, but
was better."
