That's an...ummmm...interesting poster...




Somehow I get the vibe someone asked for an image that conveyed action...

Not just action but that poster also makes the connection between Prometheus and Alien unmistakably clear. The fact that the crashing ship is the derelict ship that the crew in Alien finds and it also establishes that planet LV426 in "Aliens" is also the same planet that the Prometheus crew will be visiting.

Not to mention Ridley Scott turns into "that guy that directed Alien and Gladiator".

LOL Meh, it's the typical, standard Hollywood studio advertising crap that is done on movie posters now. As if most people pay attention to or care what other movies a director has made before when they are thinking about whether or not to watch an upcoming movie.

So.
What do you guys think the real link to Alien will be in the end? Besides the alien ship, planet etc.
I'll throw this out: the eggs are shown already, but not in an organic form. I think that the Alien we know will take it's shape due to something that happens in this movie, somehow getting mixed with roughly humanoid appearance, but not carbon based. The aliens are silicon based or something, since clearly their own acid blood doesn't affect them. The host determines what form the alien chest popper takes. Nothing has ever been said about them feeding off of the host though, just incubating. I wonder if they could come from one of the synthetics and if that would change them? Somehow the eggs are going to have to change from the metal pods into what we know. There's bound to be an "aha!" moment at the end.

I have no doubt about that. You just know there are some vital things that we haven't seen in any of the trailers. smile

I hope so, I'm getting sick of seeing key movie set pieces in trailers I'm not quick enough to avoid.

I mean that massive spaceship explosion would, presumably, have been a real wow moment.

haha
Yeah, I want to know nothing in advance of the film, but then I cannot stop myself from watching and reading about any new Prometheus discoveries! I need to put myself into solitary confinement for the next 3 weeks! LOL
