"Prometheus" trailer released!

It's been a very good week for trailers to say the least. Just when Chris and I were thinking it couldn't get any better when Peter Jackson released the trailer for "The Hobbit" along comes Ridley Scott with the first trailer for "Prometheus". Chris is still in shock and unable to type so I'm posting this one.

While Scott has been insistent in his press releases that Prometheus will only contain some Alien "DNA" this trailer seems to contradict him pretty profoundly. Maybe he's just been playing his cards close to his vest to keep us guessing but it seems the guessing game is over. The trailer not only uses some of the audio from the original "Alien" trailer from 1979 it also prominently parades the "space jockey" cockpit along with a slightly altered version of Giger's original derelict spaceship design and utilizes the same graphic style as Alien to introduce the title. If that's just a bit of Alien "DNA" then I'm Santa Claus.

So here it is. Enjoy.
