ITT: People acting surprised that a movie inspired by a Space Jockey in a chair contains a
Space Jockey in a chair.

Still, it's a great way to tease audiences.

It's not surprising it's just so nerd boner inspiring that it's inclusion can't be overstated.

One of the fansites has a low-quality look at the poster (well, I'd take it with a grain of salt, but this looks legit):

Poster is probably a bit too cryptic for normal movie goers. I guess you could say the same about Alien however. We will probably see final cover a couple of months from release.

You'd never know that was a giant face if you hadn't seen the publicity shots.

I really want to be excited for this, but damn, I really don't feel good about it being tied into Alien. I just don't foresee what this movie is about being complimentary to what Alien was about.

Please please have good dialogue. Where most sci-fi's suck at crafting believable characters, Alien was perfect, not only in screen play, but how the conversations were directed and shot.

Kind of crazy how Alien's poster is still one of the best ever.

There's nothing crazy about that.

I can live with it on its own terms, but yeah, I just don't like how it meshes with canon. I don't know that the Space Jockeys and xenomorphs need an origin, and I really don't care for the thought of them interacting with humans even before the first movie takes place.

(Don't get me started on the idea that humans might somehow be responsible for the creation of the xenomorphs, too).


The above is all speculation, though.

Looks pretty good, don't get the odd angle on the statue though. Anyways....

...less poster, more trailer! Start promoting this movie, idiot execs.

Haha the typo. Still wish they had finalized the egg design before the poster/trailer.

I thought that was intentional, in that the poster egg is a mix of an egg and the cratered surface of LV-426 rather than an exact copy of the egg design in the film.
