Weren't there rumors this was supposed to be two movies? Or has that idea passed by now?
That is the ship Dallas, Kane, and Lambert find and wander into in Alien. Except not crashed, but the trailer also more or less shows that happening.

Confused. But I thought it had crashed.
Also, I cant remember, but in Alien, was Ripleys team the first humans on LV 426?

Not anymore apparently.
In the picture that shadyspace quoted, I took the dark area behind/around the ship to be 'outer space'. I could be wrong and it crashed vertically, and that is soil/dirt.
Obviously not. The team in Prometheus might have been expunged from the records so a certain company could bring back some of the treasure with less paperwork.

It's Tony Gilroy. Plus, you have Robert Elswit doing the cinematography (There Will Be Blood, Michael Clayton, Magnolia), and James Newton Howard doing the score. You can't go wrong.
Javier Bardem is in Skyfall. That already makes it insta-fail.

Oh, we need a Bourne/Bond Garbage thread.
Bourne will make up most of the garbage. Ba-ding!!
The ship appears intact in some shots in the trailer, the same-type ship we saw crashed in Alien and Aliens on LV-426. However near the end of the trailer you can see what look like that ship crashing.
I think one of the humans set off the beacon before the ship crashes. Prometheus will end with a shot of the crashed ship, and the beacon live. That leads to decades later when the Notromo is sent to check on that signal and Alien begins. I feel that will be the only clear and present link between the movies. There will be other links, but just universe ties, artwork and places. But I feel the ship, the beacon will be the bridge between Prometheus and Alien.
It's going to depend a bit on whether Tony Gilroy gave a shit while writing the script.
I've been saying that since the early days of the now-closed Prometheus thread, and people have been scoffing at me. Though I have my own theories about where the beacon itself is located.

Thats cheating and bad writing if true.

Hmm, do we have any indication from the trailer that the humans were
onboard the alien ship at any point before the crash? Couldn't it be just as possible that the ship crashes earlier on/halfway through the movie and they have to search it?
Well I don't know that it's true, like everything else I have with this film, it's only a possible theory. I'm just saying, as of the first Alien, it was basically uncharted and the company knew about the signal, so it fits.

I actually disagree with him on that point as well. My theory was just that
someone from the Prometheus crew sets/turns on the beacon the Nostromo is sent to find, but not before the ship hits the planet.

Yet very characteristic of an evil megacompany. Even in Alien, it was clear the company knew that something worth having was on that planet.
I forget, are there even other alien races (besides the xenomorphs and Jockey) in the Alien(s) universe? Are any of them even sentient, or is it just Earthlings running the galaxy?

More like out-Mass Effect Mass Effect.
He's trying to out-Avatar and out-Aliens him simultaneously. While retaining the atmosphere and tension of Alien. I'm going to love this movie so goddamn much.
In Alien we aren't told of any other species besides the three we see in the film (depending on what Space Jockeys actually are). It's not until the marines in Aliens start reminiscing about Arcturian poontang that the series brings it up, and then doesn't really mention it again.

I feel bad that I don't know/remember most of the terms/background mythology people are throwing around so I can't feel as emotionally attached to the trailer.
I don't know what space jockey ship people are talking about, or any allusions made to the first Alien. I haven't watched it in a LONG time so I can't remember much. I guess I'll have to re-watch and then I can hop on board.

Space Jockey ship = the ship the Nostromo crew finds in Alien, in which the facehugger attaches itself to Kane.

Nah, dunno about this movie. I don't really like the horror genre in a science fiction way.
But I guess is good stuff for Alien fans.

So Prometheus is a romantic comedy?
lol, this is what made me think. But maybe Arcturia is just Space-Thailand
Hell, it might be some Thai-tranny Earth colony, but I always thought of it as meaning some other species.

So if the space jockeys are just bigger humans, does that mean they chestburst giant xenos?

Ha. Probably not. Just so we're all clear, I was referring to the holographic multi-touch star map and the space suit designs which seem to have taken inspiration from Mass Effect.

I spit out my poontang.
Predators exist in the Alien universe as well.

main thing I've been thinking about.
If standard 'human' (i.e. us) DNA produces the horrifying xenomorph we see in Alien (and Aliens), what in the fuck would come from a space jockey and its DNA? :{
I'm also interested in what exactly are in the ampoules.
We already know the derelict jockey craft was housing hundreds/thousands of facehugger eggs... but I'm really curious to see what's in the more 'manufactured' looking ampoule containers.
I've always wondered what happened to the xeno that burst out of the original Space Jockey.

I'm going to be very upset if the SJ just turns out to be some kind of Humanoid ancestor of us. I am hoping they turn out to be as menacing as the xenomorphs. Ever since the reveal of it in Alien it seemed so freakish. They at least need to retain the size of it, since that is a big part of what makes it horrific. And the Scott quote saying its a suit? I mean yeah I guess parts of it look like a suit and the "nose" or "hose" always confused me. But damnit it better be some nasty looking creature and not just like a human.
I think everything to do with the space jockeys boils down to 'biomechanical'. What a 'suit' is for them is not what it is for us. That's my guess.
