First trailer in years that's given me chills.

Same here, seriously. The last part of the trailer is so fucking intense.

[Ether_Snake]

Time to go full out detective-mode on this trailer

It's basically all ancient-astronaut stuff. The second one is this:

[Snake]

I intended not to watch this originally. I have now seen the trailer already 4 times.

This x2.

[strafer]

I can't stop watching it.

And as a proud swede I can't wait to see Noomi.

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

British people speak with southern accents?

Clearly never met someone from the West Country.

[Dax01]

Kinda wish I hadn't watched that. Probably revealed a character death and gave away a lot of the film.

[Suairyu]

Whatever happened to all the footage of American Gangster concerning the trial and post-release from jail? I swear I read in an Empire article (yeah, I know) that Scott ultimately had to excise an entire fourth act to the film in order to make it more focused. It has such a rushed ending.

[MorisUkunRasik]

He's British. Pretty sure that's his normal accent. He fakes his American one.

I'm aware. I was speaking of his southern accent. He did an amazing job with his accent on The Wire. The guy is quite talented.

[MyEpitomeCliché]

Hype slashed.

It being rated R does not mean it will be a better film. This goes for any movie, ever, as well. I just don't understand the logic. In Ridley we trust.

[SunhiLegend]

Fucking insane

[Kellen]

Hell Yeah! I'm so psyched for this!

[Gala]

Oh my god! Fucking amazing!!

[Spire]

The original Alien would probably be PG-13 if it weren't for the language. It's not gory at all.

[BigJonsson]

TERRIFYING

[Lafiel]

Hype slashed.

They'll be a R-rated version on blu-ray though IIRC.

WTF is going on here. Who is doing that?

I feel like someone, perhaps fassbender, becomes the space jokey

that's how u do a trailer

chestburster.

[laaame]

I'm going to assume that is the beginning of the xenomorphs or at least their first form that the space jockeys drop on planets.

Hasn't it been confirmed that xenomorphs will not appear in the movie? The trailer does show a lot of Alien-ish stuff though so maybe a face hugger at most.

[Dead]

oh my god

[Simo]

We were talking about in the other thread but at 2:03 in the trailer...
...what if it is a chest burster but it's been extracted from Shaw? You cans see the device is holding it in the pod and there's some kind of umbilical cord looking thing going from "it" to her abdomen...


Thoughts?

You're a fool. Tell me that Schindler's List would have been just as powerful rated PG13. How about Apocalypse Now? A Clockwork Orange?

?

[DerZuhälter]

Holy shitballs. Just seen the Teaser Trailer 60 minutes ago and my jaw dropped watching that. No seriously my mouth was open in shock and amazement and turned into a "grin & open jaw look".
And then that cristal clear 1080p trailer was dropped like a bomb on me and just showed me that Cameron can crawl back into a hole.
How does Ridley Scott's CG look so damn amazing without turning into somekind of Final Fantasy CGI cutscene looking videogame, as in Avatar? And whoever is editing these teasers and trailers is a GODTIER trailer creator. Or the source material is just completely over the top good.

I am stunned. Just stunned.

[Nappuccino]

chestburster.

could have pretty easily been done and kept a pg-13 rating.

i think the undertones of the movie and language push it into a R more than anything else.

chestburster.

Is PG-13 material by today's standards. Watch that scene again, there is some blood and that's about it. You don't ever see it actually coming out of his skin, just eventually poking through his shirt, looking around and then running. It's also extremely brief. It's horrifying but it's not particularly gory.

[Taco_Human]

Looks great. So what is it? A sequel or prequel to Alien?

[Rayven]

great trailer. gonna be a long wait.

I swear that a human. But like an "infected" form or something

[Dead]

Im guessing Giorgio Tsoukalos will cream his pants when he sees this movie

[S1kkZ]

nope. they would have to tone it down so much, that it would lose all impact.

[$hawty]

Yes it does. The more bloody, the more thrilling. Blood everywhere doesn't inherently make it better...but the suspense of someone getting gruesomely killed adds value. Easily logical.

[BertramCooper]

I just started watching the live Q&A with Scott and Lindelof.

http://www.livestream.com/prometheus

Not sure how much longer it's lasting.

EDIT: Oh, it's just a replay.

[strafer]

Would.

[MyEpitomeCliché]

Yes, they wouldn't exist as we know them. It all depends on how the director wants to convey his vision. When excessive violence is used effectively and with purpose, it should be implemented as need be, and if it further progresses narrative scope and character development, all the better. When it's just there because, whoa, shock value, it's meaningless and trivial. This film will be fine at PG-13. I know it, and you know it, Sculli.

[Napoleonthechimp]

Hasn't it been confirmed that xenomorphs will not appear in the movie? The trailer does show a lot of Alien-ish stuff though so maybe a face hugger at most.

I didn't say they would be appearing, just that is one of (perhaps THE) method the space jockeys use to eradicate life on planets. Maybe what he's looking at is the initial stage and we won't see anything beyond the threat of it being unleashed on earth.

[a secret-boss]

John Carter needs to take note on how to do a trailer

[StudioTan]

Looks incredible. It's going to kick ass in 3D.

[strafer]

Wait, that is not Tom Hardy..the fuck? :(

Lost twin brother? http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1334869/

I'd be more concerned with what the android is doing.

No, I don't know it. PG13 means that a director's vision is being compromised if the rating is being catered towards. Scott's initial comments about making this a hard R, nasty affair directly tells us that his original vision has been at least somewhat compromised. It means pulling your punches and making specific cuts, shooting specific angles and approaching scenes differently not because they are better options, but because they are the options available if you want to get it in at a PG13 rating.

[Snaku]

hmm

Oh my fuck.

Calm down. Avatar was a visual masterpiece on the big screen. This takes nothing away from it.

[Incendiary]

This looks amazing. Will see it in theaters for sure.

It's all Espielbergo's fault, if it wasn't for him PG-13 wouldn't exist!
