well, I got no problem with the Thing prequel, but that just popped up in my mind as a latest prequel and I thought it connected quite well with the original film.
Concerning the planet: I haven't read anything specific but nothing against it either. Since the ship (as long as there is just one) seems to crash on that volcanic looking surface I suspect it must be LV-426 from "Alien".

Or it's a ship from a fleet.

Apparently, yes. But not like we've seen before.

I'm more convinced that the planet can't be LV-426. The "parked" orientation of the ship doesn't match the one found on LV-426, and the terrain is similar, but sufficiently different IMHO (roads!)

Im convinced it is LV-426 and that something fucked up happens to its eco system.
The trailer does show somekind of sandstorm afterall.
Theres also some talk of that maybe the Prometheus crashes into the alien ship to stop it leaving LV-426 and that the upturned position we see it in in the trailer is not its final resting place.

After looking through some of Giger's books the other day I really can't wait to see IF and HOW they incorporate the Alien in some kind of form. There's lots of conceptual designs and ideas in his works that only from one of his paintings a filmmaker could develop a whole movie. I doubt that Scott & Co. will draw a lot from his paintings, but it sure would be amazing to see more of Gigers stuff in the movie.
The idea of a whole space jockey fleet is also more than amazing to me!
My only concern about this movie is this deformed guy that is leaping from the top in the teaser trailer. Looks too much like Event Horizon for my taste... Anyway, can't wait!

It reminded me of Sunshine.

Same thing I thought, and Sunshine reminded me of Event Horizon.

It reminded me of Space Madness. Someone probably stole his beloved ice-cream bar, with its creamy center and oh so nutty chocolate covering. Someone probably likes the same things he does..... wax paper, boiled football leather, dog breath. They're not hitchhiking anymore. They're riding.

Ah, Event Horizon.

Scott talks Prometheus 2 and Blade Runner (Prequel/Sequel/DNAquel)
and on the new Blade Runner"I just thought Prometheus was so enjoyable — returning to the world of science fiction was so fun — that I wanted to [go back to Blade Runner, too]. I’m also thinking about what the hell I might do for a Prometheus 2."
Also hints at Aliens Colonial Marines link to Prometheus"We’re still in discussions about whether it should be a prequel or sequel," says Scott. "It’s an interesting conversation. I’m meeting with writers and I’ve also gone back to Hampton Fancher and he still speaks the speak. He’s right there. I spoke with him this week. But we don’t even have a script yet."
"I’m not sure that that’s going to be a story point," he says concerning Deckard's possible return. "so I don’t know. But if it were, nothing would please me more. Honestly."

Seems like the viral campaign is slowly gearing up for this and it makes me even more excited for the movie!
EDIT: too late.
Stubby Member
Looks like more shall bee revealed if we start hash tagging #weylandinvestors

New teaser trailer!

Full length trailer in 5 days.

"Prepare to experience the new trailer"? I hope the humor of that was intentional.
The Enhancer
Probably wasn't, unfortunately. We're jazzed enough for the movie as it is, we don't need teaser trailers for longer trailers. That said, there's a couple cool shots in there.
Active Member
It's just funny to me that we've gone from "prepare for the movie event of the summer" to "prepare for the event that will prepare you for the movie event of the summer."
Stubby Member
I scanned over the supposed leaked script and I call fake.
Why someone would bother putting so much time into something that lazily connects together points from the trailer and photos is beyond me.
Hairy Member
Ever wonder where those knock-off films from competing studios come from each year? The Deep Impact for every Armageddon, etc.
Now you know one factor in internet era.

I haven't been following that closely, but wasn't the script leaked before the trailer? I remember reading the plot to Alien:Ressurection ages before the film (or trailers) came out. It was also denounced as a fake at the time, but aside from some changes in the ending, turned out to be the real deal.
Active Member
Really hope the movie is not as hammy and cheesy as that Guy Pierce clip.
The Enhancer
And we can blame The Asylum for a lot of them. They brought out a version of War of the Worlds a week before the Tom Cruise one!Ever wonder where those knock-off films from competing studios come from each year? The Deep Impact for every Armageddon, etc.
Now you know one factor in internet era.

I haven't seen it, but I'd be willing to bet that the Asylum version is better.
The Enhancer
I'm willing to bet you'd be right.
