Prometheus: More Promos!

More Prometheus promos! I'm getting super excited for this next installment in the Alien series. After watching all these trailers and comparing the designs to the art found on the Specials Disc in the Alien Quadrilogy Set, it seems as though modern special effects technology has caught up to HR Geiger's vision. Please Prometheus don't suck!

First, we have the UK version of the full trailer that came out this weekend:



Then, we got a tie in to the original Alien movie with Guy Pearce:




Next, we have a Michael Fassbender being built:

Prometheus Full Trailer

The full trailer for Prometheus is out and it reveals a bit of the plot. We find out that the crew of the Prometheus ends up on the "Space Jockey" planet because of an interstellar invitation. These invitations never end up being a  friendly hang out of drunken Wii Tournaments. They tend to be as chummy as a Hannibal Lecter dinner invitation. Wait... didn't Ridley Scott direct Hannibal? Truth be told, if there was a real interstellar invitation, I'd want to be on that first expedition.


I'm loving the HR Geiger imagery in the Prometheus trailers.

Prometheus International Trailer and Rumor

As far back as the mid 80's there were rumors that Blade Runner took place in the Alien universe. The off planet colonization the Replicants were talking about could be the same as the ones being infected by the Xenomorphs. Recently, this rumor has resurfaced since the prequel to Alien (Prometheus) is coming out soon and, the side-story/prequel to Blade Runner is in production. But according to an article on the Film School Rejects website, the producers of Prometheus and the next Blade Runner are denying the connection:

Producers Deny ‘Blade Runner’ Will Be ‘Alien’ Prequel

Won't it be cool though? What DID Roy Batty experience to inspire the "Tears in rain" soliloquy?

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tanhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. [pause] Time to die."

Was Bishop a Replicant?

Oh right! I almost forgot the point of this post. There is an international trailer for Prometheus with some new footage:

Prometheus Trailer

I got to admit, I was tentative when I first heard about a prequel to the Alien Series. I still enjoyed the hell out of Alien 3 and Alien: Resurrection despite their problems. Not so much the The Alien vs. Predator movies. They were pretty bad. After hearing that Ridley Scott will be directing the prequel, I was still iffy about the idea. His last few movies since American Gangster were not that good. But the recently released trailer for Prometheus got me excited. I take back all my complaints about Prometheus' trailers for the official trailer. I need to save up money for all these great movies coming out in 2012. Prometheus might still be bad but, I'm sold by the imagery in the trailer. Prometheus also stars a couple of actors whom I like:
  • Charlize Theron
  • Michael Fassenbender
  • Patrick Wilson
  • Idris Elba
  • Guy Pearce

What is that noise in the background?

Is that the Space Jockey to the far right at 0:44?!

Does the Prometheus trailer look familiar?
