Trailer for Ridley Scott's Alien prequel leaked

[Branden Albert's Huge Balls]

Terrible footage but here is a good description:

• The trailer starts with the 20th Century FOX logo. You hear a transmission. A woman (which I assume to be Rapace) is saying "...got to stop... was wrong.. so wrong...I'm so sorry...". You can hear the last part very clearly.
• The first scene shows a spaceship (similar to the one seen in the first leaked trailer) flying towards a planet on the background.
• Next you see is the surface of a planet and some sort of facility. It kinda looks like a Lunar base to me.
• Now they show this scene from the Comic-con footage.
• You can see the film's title forming in the background during most of the trailer. Pretty much like in the introductory scene of Alien.
• Next is the Ampule room. They show it off from all different angles and finally a close up of the ampules. Suddenly you hear a high pitch scream. It's not human. It sounds like if it was from a facehugger. Then there's a lot of smoke from what seems to be acid corrosion. They show a guy in a spacesuit. He's alone. Screaming and putting his hands over his helmet. It looks just like the Kane/derelict scene in Alien.
• Now they show the same spaceship from earlier. Same shot as in the first leaked trailer. Flying towards what seems to be a different planet in the background.
• The next 2 scenes are from the comic-con footage. 1, 2.
• Now they show Vickers running across a hallway. Same scene as in the first leaked trailer.
• Next seems to me someone in a spacesuit. Driving a futuristic vehicle in some desert like surface. Heading towards some structure or facility in the middle of nowhere at full speed.
• Impressive shot of the Iceland waterfalls.
• Next is this scene from the comic-con footage. They seem to be shooting at something or someone but they don't show it.
• Next you see is some grey-black serpent like creature. Jumping ala facehugger from some sort of grey-goo cavity. Now they show the whole scene. There's two guys in their spacesuits. One lying on the ground (it seems to be the impregnated guy from earlier) and another one checking on him. The creature jumps from what seems to be the insides of the previous impregnated guy to the other one.
• Now they show someone with a expression of pain. The guy is still in his spacesuit and someone appears to be holding him in their arms.
• Now you can see a device or hologram of some sort. It looks like an atom or a planet. I'm not sure if it's a planet or just some molecular structure tbh. The center of the hologram is a single sphere so it should be a planet system. Probably the coordinates to some other world.
• Now this shot from comic-con.
• Next is a spaceship being destroyed while in the air.
• One guy in a spacesuit pouncing at someone else while holding something. It looks like it's going to hurt.
• Next is the space jockey room. Same as in the Comic-con footage. The center piece of the plate opens and the space jockey chair rotates out of the ground.
• Next scene shows off a very inflated belly. Like if the person was pregnant but there's something bigger than a chestbuster moving inside. Seems to be Rapace's.
• Idris Elba yells while aboard of what seems to be the Prometheus.
• The sandstorm + Rapace spacesuit scene. Same as in the first leaked trailer. Close up of Rapace. She gets hit by the storm and she falls down a pit. It's the scene depicted in the official still released around comic-con.
• Now you can clearly read Prometheus. The whole title has formed in the background. They show it for a few seconds.
• Now a close up of Rapace's face. She's in pain. It seems to be the same scene as in the first leaked trailer. The one with the green lasers scanning her belly.
• Now they show someone in a spacesuit looking at the derelict in the surface of a planet with clear skies.
• The words "They went looking"
• The derelict again. It's vertical to the ground. It would be impossible to enter it from the same place as in Alien.
• The words "for earth's beginning"
• Still on the same planet. The derelict (or something really big) seems to be falling down from above. The guy in the spacesuit is running away now. Trying not to get crushed.
• The words "what they found"
• They now show two guys running away.
• The words "could be its the end"
• They show the same guys again. Running away from what appears to be a huge gigerish structure (it feels like it's moving but it's hard to tell). Perhaps the derelict in flight. There's a lot of smoke. What appears to be debris on fire are falling from above. They keep running away from it.
• The trailer ends.
• The music reminded me a lot of the one from Inception (the 'horns sounds'). But mixed with what appears to be the music from the original trailer for Alien. Same music during all the trailer.

Brain not good work coffee enough maybe perhaps.

My bad... I didn't remember that for some odd reason.

Yes, it was the very last scene. Actually, the vid you posted looks sort of rough, like it has unfinished makeup and special effects.

No worries KC Fish. As for the second mouth/thing/wtf, it is different than the original Alien. Additionally, it has human teeth. Other than that, idk what the thing is shooting out of its mouth. Second human mouth?

Thanks. I guess I was a lot more inebriated than I thought when I initially watched it.....

It looked to me like a xenomorph ancestor so to speak. A less evolved version of what we see in the Alien movies.

Either ancestor or different strain from the jars/vases.

Or the same, because aliens always look different from what they chestburst from. Predaliens from predators. Maybe that octopus was a giant face hugger?

^^^Pretty sure that is what it was.

I saw Prometheus in the theater, and was thoroughly unimpressed. I decided to pick it up on blue-ray to give it another chance. I even watched Alien from the blue ray quadrology, which I highly recommend.

After watching Promo for a second time, I'm convinced that this is not a prequel to Alien.. and to go one step further, its best to watch this movie not knowing ANYTHING about the original Alien.

In original Alien the Jockey thing was straight up attached to the chair, and had a elephant trunk looking bone from its nose/mouth. Not a damn mask/helmet like Prometheus. Not to mention the helmet in promo has eye holes on the side of the helmet.. how can the jockeys see out if there eyes are in the front, not sides.

Straight garbage Ridley.

Finally got around to this on dvd and yeah, totally unimpressed... the effects of course were outstanding, but sadly they were the highlight of the whole affair.

I hated the characters & their dialogue, most of which was horrible... so this trillion dollar corporation just sent up a bunch of slapdicks that didnt know each other & act like a bunch of ****in tourists? they were acting like the people from jurassic park or something, just terrible characters & dialogue, too much of it also seemed like a straight up rehash of Aliens. The scene where they roll out of the ship for the first time, lol, they just take off at 50mph like some kind of race... he really did a shit job of portraying these people as credible scientists & the like.

The alien astronauts? wtf? i dont even know where to begin, none of it made any sense at all, nor was it explained, so i wont try to do it either. So yeah its some kind of weaponized crap they made, for what purpose & motive only ridley knows... he also really aped 2001 in several scenes, trying to evoke the same mood with certain shots & music.

This movie sucked balls, right up there with gigantomongous & profoundly empty Avatar, all cool effects & nothing else. I was really expecting some kind of deep meaning to it all, cutting edge, thought provoking sci-fi... boy was i in for a surprise, sooo glad i didnt waste $8 plus snacks on this piece of junk. Ridley Scott should be ashamed, probably his worst movie ever.

I loved it, too. Sure it had stupid parts to it - IT'S A HORROR MOVIE. If everybody in a horror movie was smart, nobody would die.

I'll pick up the blu-ray at some point and look forward to the next one.

And I hated Avatar.

Funny. I thought the highlight of the whole affair were the scenes in which Noomi Rapace and Charlize Theron wore mummy-wraps as bikinis.

Thanks munkey, thats a solid list of possible explanations, it made more sense out of it than i could for myself.

But potential meanings of the story aside, i still hated the characters, they just didnt have any depth imo... "we're on this far distant planet, about to discover mankinds origins and we're going to act like a bunch of petulant, shallow morons"... it just wasnt what i expected from a carefully chosen group of experts, not to mention the huge ship itself, replete with crystal chandeliers & staterooms that would be the envy of Donald Trumps highrise apartment, maybe 80 years from now a breakthrough making that possible happens, but its hard to fathom.

Anyway, i appreciate that article, it really does help.

Yeah, he had to have a nod to the old films with some nice shots of hotties in white linen.

Did you see Avatar in real IMAX 3D? Because that was the best amusement park ride of my life.
