March 2013 release, eh? Maybe it can help in the fight against the bastardization of Ender's Game.
Yeah, I noticed the heavy use of on-set lighting effects. Which is great, because that was one of the strongest aspects of the original Alien as well. It feels futuristic yet believable.

I still dont get how this movie links into the Alien ones.
I mean by the time of Alien they got that message which stopped them going back to Earth or whatever to check out the planet from this Prometheus movie.
All the discoveries they make there in this new movie shouldnt they then already be known in the Alien trilogy?

Not if everyone died.
I think it was hinted that they do know about the existence of the ship in Alien, Weyland put Ash on board of the Nostromo to make sure that they bring back the xenomorph, which means they have knowledge of the lifeform to some degree (the crew on board don't)
What I don't know is if whether or not they went back to this planet after the event of Prometheus (assuming it's a different planet than the one in alien), since I don't see why not, it seems like an official mission exploring a planet, if they lost contact with the crew, they would probably send a rescue team, or at least investigate.

Yeah, I wish they just had him use his normal (English) accent.
In Alien the ship is at an angle in the ground crashed into the surface. If its the same ship it's probably what happens to it after it gets blown out of the sky.
Hell I've even come around on the suits, and I was hating on them before. They fit in with the rest of the tech designs very well.
I remember reading a comment from someone a while before the trailer came out, saying the actors are much more grounded to the sets compared to a lot of current special effects films, and it's true. There's a level of reality to the compositions that stands out these days (probably in part from using actual sets).
But even then, one of the best shots in the trailer is the Prometheus landing. The billowing dirt and dust, the way the thrusters look; there's just a heft and bulk to it that looks great.
We know enough about LV-426 such that I don't see how there can be much confusion even early in the movie if it is indeed the same moon. They seem to be putting a lot of attention and detail into the pre-mission parts of the movie, so it'll be really odd if we don't know exactly where they are going and what they land on.
Perhaps the planetoid will be as yet undesignated.
Yes but it doesn't matter. They will definitely show their destination, and if they land on one of three moons surrounding a planet, that should be a pretty big give away. If they land on a planet itself or something completely different, then we know for sure that it's not the same place.

I don't think so. She looks like Famke Jansen's grandmother who has been made to put on craploads of make up to make her look younger. I apologise for the fact that anybody reading this can't unsee that now.

Michael Fassbender looks like Charlton Heston reborn in here. How appropriate that he's coming in a biblical epic now.

Of course it doesn't matter. It's one of the things I liked about Sunshine as well. I just don't think Noomi is attractive.
We're talking about Charlize Theron now, right?

glad I jumped on the Alien train before this hit cinemas.
Has this been posted yet?
Weyland Industries website updated with timeline.
It's really great because we can assume this is canon info and sheds light on the Company's origins and motivations.

It is something you really have to see. It looks amazing even in rough rendered form. It is played out very well.

Fassbender knows women! They sometimes ask for him by name. He know all about women. About as much as there is to know. No two are ever alike, and after they've met him, no two are ever the same!
Sorry, I could not keep up.
It answers who the old man in the trailers were - Weyland himself was aboard.
Yeah, I love how it's particularly noteworthy.
And decades after stuff like terraforming, FTL travel and androids, too. "Now, we can actually lift and move heavy objects!" Science, fuck yeah!
Well the only way we are going to know if this planet is indeed LV-426 if the Space Jockey HQ blows up and causes the the atmosphere to go crazy (terraforming perhaps?)
I think it's neat and likely on purpose. There's something strangely artificial about blonde Fassbender.
No surprise there

Lawl. Yes, I'm the mad one for not believing that Noomi Rapace is more attractive than Eva Green.

I don't know why. But these gifs you post always make me chuckle a little.
The US one is pretty bad and shows several fairly important looking bits. The UK one is less so.

why would one even go into the OT, if worried about spoilers?
I hope this film explains the Alien Queen and Predators....... NAH Im just fucking with ya. The only film Prometheus needs to aknowledge even losely is Alien. All the BS after it is just ridiculous should not exist in Ridley's vision of the film.
And Im going on a black out now, this trailer was truly astonishing and wept my appetite till release day.

The viral campaign already acknowledges the Power Loader. Clearly Alien and Aliens are the only cemented lore!
Don't forget that back in 2001 Cameron and Scott were talking about doing another Alien together.
Tech is one thing, the understanding of the creatures and world is completey another. I am glad Cameron is busy with Avatar sequels because quite frankly I don't want him near the Alien/Prometheus movies again. Not hating, I think his a fantastic director, but his strengths are something which don't mesh with Alien.
