Found a low res teaser
Found a low res teaser
I found these over at AVPgalaxy.net
Storyline
Jon Spaihts was hired to write the prequel. In July 2010, it was reported that LOST’s Damon Lindelof had been hired to do rewrites on Spaihts’ script.
There’s been mixed reports on whether Prometheus is part of the Alien Universe or not. After all it started out as a direct prequel to Alien and transformed into a standalone film. According to Ridley Scott, the last 8 minutes of Prometheus will lead off to the events in Alien. Not specifically with how the Derelict came to crash on LV-426.
The film will focus on the Space Jockey race we saw in Alien. They’re referred to as Engineers in the film
The story doesn’t take place on Earth but Earth maybe featured in the characters’ flashbacks.
Prometheus is the name of the characters’ spacecraft.
The film will reportedly feature early versions of the creatures seen in the Alien series. How the xenomorph creature came to be created in the first place.
Ridley Scott originally said that the Space Jockey isn’t a creature in itself… it’s a suit with another creature inside.
Michael Fassbender’s character is an android. There maybe another android in the film.
In the recently released production stills, we can see the characters exploring the Ampule room which has a large humanoid face in the room.
Brilliant observation there, 'tard. 😛
At Comic Con, Damon Lindelof stated that the film is keeping as many practical effects as possible. The only mention of CGI used was for on-set pre-visualization of external space visuals.
I was pleased to read that on the Wikipedia page. Thank almighty Dafoe Christ.

We'll see. Steven Spielberg said much the same thing for Indiana Jones 4, and that wasn't really true. But I'm not as anti-CG as others here. Just so long as it looks like an Alien film, and we don't get what we saw in Alien Resurrection, where we got CG creatures running around like the raptors from Jurassic Park.

When I say Alien Resurrection, I'm not saying Alien 3.
Remember when they were chasing them underwater, and up ladders? They were using CG just because they could, as Jurassic Park had perfected it four years earlier. But it totally took away from the mystery, having them run around in the light rather than the shadowy corridors. At the time, that's what made me think of the raptors in Jurassic Park, them doing FX like that.

Ah, fair enough. Well, I guess you can't make all those ants out of practical effects. They did have one or two straight car chases that didn't have much/any CGI. But I don't think it was CGI alone that ruined Indy IV.. but anyway. I don't see Ridley Scott throwing a bunch of CGI aliens all over the place. He understands mood a bit better than Mr. Frenchie, director of Alien: Resurrection. I hope he doesn't prove me wrong, though.

Resurrection was the 4th movie.
After the 4th I would imagine the viewer would be fed up by the aliens STILL hiding in shadow & only still showing a glimpse of teeth, tail or claw.
The 1st was suspense & that's why the mystery worked. The sequels that followed were action/adventure so revealing them in their true glory is a must.

Of course Alien Resurrection is the fourth movie. That's why I don't understand people thinking I'm talking about Alien 3.
So they had the Xenomorphs running around in brightly lit corridors in the fourth, like a pack of wolves. And how did that work out? It didn't.
First trailer comes in three days!
