Trailer came out the other day, Ridley Scott common! Can't wait for the movie, one of the few things I'm genuinely excited for in the coming year. More information on the Space Jockeys is welcome here. And it looks like it's setting up the original Alien movie.

Although, it makes me wonder how early this movie takes place, as it's the same ship from the first movie, and in that he's begun to petrify, which takes millions of years, doesn't it?

I just came.

My apologies SS, I didn't think to look in this board but I will happily support your thread with an additional post.
So it's unfortunate that we don't know an awful lot about the plot, but then again at least we don't have to wait an entire 12 months like with The Hobbit (seriously, what's with that?)
And on another positive note, it makes me feel much like the audience of Alien in the 70s, who would have had NO idea what they were in for from seeing the trailer. For those who haven't seen it, check out the original Alien trailer to get an idea of what I mean... They would've been scared shitless. I hope we may experience Ridley Scott's genius decades later, and I'm hopeful he hasn't lost his touch.

Merry Christmas to all and a happy (safe) New Year

WOW...Thanks for posting this.I been searching for a 'real' trailer for a while.
This looks like it is gonna be a good movie.And it does look like it is setting up the first ALIEN which is what I had heard may happen in rumors but now it looks like thats what it is.
Thanks again,I had almost given up looking for a trailer but now I don't have to look anymore.
Can't wait to see it either!

Also,Merry Christmas to all of you guys!!!

I read on Wikipedia It's not a "direct" prequel to the original Alien.
Obviously there's connections, but apparently It doesn't set up the events immediately preceding Alien. And It's supposed to take place in the late 21st century.

Yay! looks like a promising film! I hope they release more trailers soon. ;D

It looks good! I hope they manage to keep the tension of Alien but keep the action of Aliens.
