Finally, The Prometheus Trailer: Welcome To The Beginning And The End

By TK | Posted Under Trailers | Comments (30)

Not much to say — it’s a crazy melange of flashing imagery, space ships, things crashing, and Charlize Theron. And one big goddamn derelict space ship, that will house the space jockey.

I’m so there.

Well, I'm hopeful...I guess. Forgive my cynicism -- I just remember that the trailer for Event Horizon was great, too.

In a universe that has Predators, Xenomorphs, and now whatever the hell this is, it's a wonder that humans are still kicking at all.

That couldn't have been more Alien than the original Alien. I'm guessing they want to downplay the lack, or apparent lack, of the Xenomorphs so as to disappoint anybody, but this is very clearly an Alien movie. And, frankly, that's radass. I can't wait for this.

I mean, I can because I have to, but I'd rather not. Oh, first world problems. What would we do without you?

Oh I'll face hug Michael Fassbender. No problemo.

my future-self is already wishing these lights would dim so i can open up my candy.

So Charlize Theron is the Sigourney Weaver we've been waiting for all these years? Please.

But everything else is looking great though.

The Dark Knight Rises trailer 2 is out and I'm itching to start the hating on the Hathaway.

The original Alien trailer's soundtrack features a repetitive high pitched scream/squeal as it's main sound.

Having that same sound alone here in this trailer would have been a nice enough touch, if only they hadn't forcibly married it to the symphonic hit from Inception.

It's so nice to see those Inception bass beats getting more work. Soon they'll be able to afford that nice split-level in the suburbs.

Theron plays the inevitable "corporate figurehead" characte, and Fassbender plays the inevitable "android" character.

That's a lot of inevitables.

spoilers (maybe) ahead
rumored synopsis
Earth was seeded by aliens (space jockeys)
Man works his way back to his creator (space jockeys)
(space jockeys rejoice)
Man attempts to steal fire of creation from aliens\(space jockeys not so happy anymore)
Aliens (space jockeys) send a lone ship with a very deadly cargo back to earth (flown by a space jockey)
you know the rest

My enthusiasm remains undampened! Here's hoping that Scott uses a restrained score like he did in the original.

Posted by: Jast at December 22, 2011 4:48 PM

Also of note: The way the movie title appears line-by-line is exactly like the opening sequence of Alien.

I'm fucking tingly and I assure you it's not the cocaine!

Posted by: admin at December 22, 2011 4:58 PM

Run! It's a giant space donut and it's on the loose!

There is too much awesome next year in theaters. If this is the last year for our planet*, at least we are going out in style.

*The world absolutely will not end on Dec 21, 2012. Which is good, because then I can go see The Hobbit again on Dec 22.

Posted by: TylerDFC at December 22, 2011 5:26 PM

It totally remind me Mass Effect. Logan Marshall-Green could play Commander Shepard

Posted by: Sara h at December 22, 2011 5:50 PM

I thought I saw Leelo Dallas Mutlipass in the trailer. Or just another lady wrapped in ace bandages.

Posted by: dsoup at December 22, 2011 5:54 PM

As much as I enjoyed the trailer, I enjoyed RobP and admin's comments more. And I assure you, it's not just the whiskey talking!

Posted by: Melissa at December 22, 2011 8:03 PM

OK, two words of advice for people in movies running from stuff: Turn right.

Or left.

Doesn't matter, the thing you're running from is going straight and will continue to do so, so will you just fucking go sideways already?

SERPENTINE!!!

Posted by: Jay at December 22, 2011 8:31 PM

Do people really not like Event Horizon? Is that a thing?

Posted by: Smokin at December 22, 2011 8:39 PM

Serpentine Shelly!!

Goddamn physics people!! There's no way a thing that large is gonna roll nowhere without crumbling under it's own mass.

Posted by: Protoguy at December 22, 2011 9:11 PM

@haplo- actually I think Noomi Rapace is the Ripley character- they're misdirecting us a little. And as always, Evil Corporate is going to bite it.

Posted by: pkitte at December 22, 2011 9:39 PM

thanks pkitte. now noomi rapace, that's an actress I can get behind. *wink*

hope Theron is the female Reiser in this one.

Posted by: haplo at December 22, 2011 9:50 PM

and no-one has mentioned that we get a proper glimpse of a live "Space Jockey" at 44secs (pause and look to the right)..... it's the only part of the trailer that excites me

"Do people really not like Event Horizon? Is that a thing?"

I personally liked it well enough. It flopped at the theater, but gained a cult following after its release on DVD, and is generally well-regarded by horror fans. Compared to the rest of Paul W. S. Anderson's movies, Event Horizon is a classic for the ages.

Posted by: Craig at December 23, 2011 10:32 AM

Why don't you guys just admit it: You don't care how Noomi looks or acts, you just like saying "Noomi."

Like, I admit I couldn't pick her out of a lineup if she were the only woman, but I sure like saying "Poots."

Posted by: , at December 23, 2011 11:20 AM

I fucking love Event Horizon.

Also...I thought this movie wasn't supposed to have Alien-Aliens in it.

Why did it look like someone just got facehugged?

Posted by: DeistBrawler at December 23, 2011 3:10 PM

@DeistBrawler-

After playing and pausing several times (NO, I'm not obsessed), what looks like face-hugging is actually the helmet melting from the top and the guy grasping his helmet.

Not obsessed, not one bit.

Posted by: pkittie at December 24, 2011 11:32 AM

Seeing the space jockey chair/cannon rising out of the floor of the ship made me cream my jeans! I have watched the trailer 20 or more times a day all week! And, no! I'm not obsessed either! I just can't wait to see more, know more, and I'm on edge with suspense at wondering how Ridley will WOW us this time!
