Wanna bet that slick blonde guy is an android, and he will facilitate things for whatever nasty critters are out there? (Ash liked the Alien a bit too much!) After checking out Weyland's speech trailer, and these 2 last trailers, I wouldn't be surprised.
And if this movie is supposed to be a prequel to the Alien series, nobody from this crew will make it alive. But curiously enough, the Nostromo will wake its crew after picking up the alien ship's beacon signal.

Just saw that newer trailer. I'm getting pretty stoked.

Michael Fassbender (I can't remember his character's name) is the android in this one.

That's not the Alien because it has no tail or pipe-things on its back. However, I think we're supposed to infer a resemblance/lineage between them based on the bio-mechanoid design.
The ship is like the Nostromo, yes, and in fact I think it safe to say this film will feel a lot like Alien without it being Alien because it's meant as a prequel. If you're looking for something TOTALLY different, don't see it.

I wonder what that is that's infecting them? I've seen 3 people with something black rushing around their veins?
Does anyone know how far before Alien this is supposed to be set as the pilot was fossilised when they found it there wasn't it?
