Comment RSS3 New Prometheus Trailers (US, Imax, UK)
18.03.12 # Trailers # 7 Comments
There’s a new Prometheus trailer. Three, actually. Similar to each other, but very different to the first. And containing enough spoilers to piece together a significant part of the movie.
US trailer 2 -
Now the IMAX trailer -
And the UK version of trailer 2 -
It looks like they land on the planet seen in the original Alien (where John Hurt gets facehugged), discover a chamber of spores that turn them into the Space Jockeys glimpsed in the first movie. The Space Jockeys, we’re now told, wear a suit, which (sort of) explains the size and face-trunk of the creature glimpsed in the first movie.
Did the story really have to use the old aliens-were-on-earth-and-left-us-cave-paintings idea again? Alien vs. Predator told us the Predators were doing that, and the Transformers did too. Why does everything that happens in the universe have to be so human-centric, what happened to the creepy random encounters of the first Alien? No species on earth is that bothered about us, apart from dogs, so why would species from space care?
Anyway, terrific tension on display here and these are great trailers, especially the US one. Performances, music, and visuals are all top notch. I like how Michael Fassbender is doing an Ian Holm vocal impression. Can’t wait to watch the movie on 1st June in the UK (it’s out a week later in the US). If you haven’t seen the first Alien recently it’s worth doing so before this comes out, as Prometheus is very much based around what you witness in the first thirty minutes.
P.S. That thing below sure looks familiar.
Oh, and there’s a new viral too -
What do you think? Does this make you more or less interested in Ridley Scott’s return to sci-fi?
It looks good, but yet again it’s another entry that dilutes how alien the alien was in the original concept and you just know it will end with the alien bursting out of the space jockey. And the ancient ancestors stuff is tiresome.
Agreed.
If people get disappointed than it is really their own fault for having too high expectations. To Ridley Scott’s defence I think that AVP is to be separated from the real Alien universe. I however am greateful that Fox agreed to make this thing happen. ( I am greateful. )
Regarding your comment your about movies depicting random first contact, I agree those are awesome movies, but that has already been done in the alien universe. I do hope they make some more orriginl horror sci-fi first contact style movies in the future though. Nothing has topped alien since it came out.
it was kinda odd. A few months ago..I was entertaining ideas about THIS film..without knowing of its existance. It was an idea…revisit the homeworld of THE creature….and make a film around that! I dont know if I would have gone for the Prequel” ideas…maybe more like…”We know they,re out there..lets go get em”…and mayhem ensues. Bring the artist back into the mix. Make something NO ONE has ever seen before. THAT was Ridleys true artistic brilliance. The creature itself.
Maybe Ridley missed his real mark. I dunno..Ill wait and see.
*sigh*
Just watched the new international extended trailer.
Here’s the deal. Whenever the loud music is blaring and we see shots of people screaming, it looks awesome. Whenever anyone talks, the dialog is the stuff of bargain-barrel B-movies.
I haven’t watched or posted the new trailer because I heard it spoils too much. It’s out in 4 weeks here, why ruin it now.
