I´m looking forward to it, I guess they can pull off something really good with todays special effects

Bought all four aliens on VCR, back in the day... I was a fan from a young age. One of my favourite series. IMO the original ALIEN was the most scariest and maybe even the best.

I do hope that Ridley Scott hasn't lost his touch.

Alien did better than a lot of movies after it and it basically had all handmade FX. FX is cheap nowadays...what lacks in modern times is a story that is not told 1000 times like "aliens are coming to eat you alive".

Yum yum! Looking forward to this.....

[dmarkwick 261]

Charlize Theron is always worth watching.

[Deathstruck 375]

Wait, is it really confirmed by Scott himself that this is a prequel?

It's a bit strange to have a prequel for a prequel that was all new and groundbreaking in 1979.

[Devil Dogs SF 13]

Ridley doesn't have to confirm it's a prequel, the Derelict spacecraft from Alien is clearly seen, and the biomechanical architecture can be seen on all of the Alien tech, not to mention the Pilot chair, also inside the Derelict spacecraft in Alien.

[max power 21]

I think it's *a* (not so) derelict spacecraft because that definitely wasn't LV426.

[dmarkwick 261]

Perhaps it should be viewed as a Spiderman/Superman/Batman/Star Trek type of reboot. Don't know until I see it :) but IMO I currently view it as a prequel with some rather unfeasible insertions :)

really interested in finding out what that thing is.

The Space jockey appears in the movie alive and standing

If you go through the trailer you'll see him, it's barely a second long though.

It's supposed to start 30 years or so before the crash of the Space jockeys ship.

The Aliens are just a tiny part of a much bigger story, thats what this is supposed to be about.

This is not technically a prequel but a story set in the same ALIEN universe. Scott started with the intention of it being a prequel, but he also wanted like 250 million and a badass R-Rating.

That said, it's still more a prequel than anything else! :)

I just compared the Derelict ships and they both look a bit different especially in the upper part (but still share the same shape)

That being said, I am willing to believe that this is in the same Alien universe.:D

That's the chap on the right? Weren't they supposed to have this elephant-like trunk on their face?

I don't think that's one. I think it's too small to be one and, as said doesn't have a trunk.

Though, @0:34 of the trailer, there does appear to be a space jockey skull.

[Devil Dogs SF 13]

Ridley said the Jockey in the chair in the original is actually just a suit for the Jockeys themselves.

[jblackrupert 14]

The Space jockey in Alien was Fossilized.

I'm pretty sure it's a suit.

[froggyluv 2136]

Alien...first R Rated film I was allowed to actual go to with my folks at 9 years old. Thank God my mother had the good sense to cover my eyes when Sigourney gets undressed into panties -wouldn't want to have any nightmares ya know :rolleyes:

Very much looking foward to Scott being back in action on this.

[max power 21]

Well, in HR Giger's concept and aesthetic, the suit, the machine, and the organism ought not to be separable. His biomechanical style is a fusion of flesh and machine, beauty and ugliness, sex and death. I would vomit with rage if the 'space jockeys' turned out to be palid, anthropomorphic, star-trek like aliens wearing cool spacesuits. I will bring a barf bag with me opening night... but seriously if the space jockeys are wearing blue leotard I will shout at the screen and maybe get thrown out. I can't handle another disillusioning prequel 'explanation' of something that worked better as a mystery after that 'The Thing' trash.

[Devil Dogs SF 13]

HR Giger was involved from things I've heard, I would highly doubt Giger and Scott would allow the Space Jockeys to be generic spacemen.

HR Giger died all the work desingning the whole xenomorph lifecycle and all alien styles in Alien. Alien was pratically a H.R. Giger show.

[jblackrupert 14]

Giger ain't dead

Edit:.....never mind... DID... not dead..

I know, that's why I said he and Scott won't let the Space Jockeys be some generic 'Star Trek' species of alien.

[dremon 1]

i am really curious, but nothing is going to scare me as much as the first 2 alien movies when i saw them the first time!!
