"Prometheus" Trailer

After much talk and 3 trailers for the trailer, Ridley Scott's "Prometheus" trailer arrives. Thoughts after the embed.



Seriously, enough with the "Inception" styled music beats. Also, I thought the way PROMETHEUS slowly appeared on the screen was distracting.

However, the film looks awesome. I was expecting a bit more than just a teaser, but this definitely whetted the appetite. It's got a great cast, pretty fantastic atmosphere, and I'm very interested to see how this leads into, if at all, the Alien saga.

Which leads me to a personal note. Originally, this was supposed to be an Alien prequel. Then, during the writing process, Ridley Scott said that it evolved into something new, but that "strands" of the Alien DNA are within the film. What does this mean? That's been the question for a lot of people. Is it just a way to separate it from the Alien saga marketing-wise? Due to how bad it became? Possibly. But, look at the 44 second mark. There's a shot of some sort of chair rising out of the floor. That's where they found the Space Jockey in the original "Alien".
