speaking of redonkulous retcons/franchises filling in details that didn't need explicating, in Star Trek Enterprise they actually explained why the Kirk-era Klingons didn't have forehead ridges while the later ones did: A VIRUS!

New full trailer sometime tonight and a sneak's been seen:

the opening of that looked just like the first Alien vs Predator movie

looks cool though

Erich von Daniken has a lot to answer for

holy shit the sound in that trailer!

& is that benedict wong? don't let him work out the calculations for the spaceship trajectory! he'll fuck it up!

This looks good! I will regret anticipating it tho I'm almost sure

Yeah I loved the screaming sound towards the end.

But can we be done with the Inception-ish low-horn blasts now, christ I'm so sick of hearing that in every actiony trailer.

Yeah I loved the screaming sound towards the end.

i know, what is it about that sound thats really appealing here? i'm slowly getting more excited than i should about this. damn trailers.

whoa ^_^

Okay, that was pretty damn good.

thats the siren noise from the original Alien trailer (probably the greatest trailer ever cut)

feel like that trailer gave away TOO MUCH

Stringer Bell's accent sounds a little off. Or is it just me?

xpost H4A: ohhh fuck you genius thank you

Whomever is making these trailers deserves an award for making trailers.

Trailys 2012

Goddamm that og trailer is so good

I'm gonna be so goddam sad when they stop using film to make movies

Does ALIEN have the greatest cast ever?

I was thinking that exact thing watching the trailer. If it's not the greatest it's damn close.

has there ever been a movie that was part of a franchise where the audience didn't know for sure until actually seeing the film?

The screaming alarm in that Prom. trailer reminds me of Clare Torry's screaming at the end of "Speak to Me", right before "Breathe" kicks in.

guys go to 2:37 in the trailer

1:37, sorry

While I'm still a bit meh re: 3D and wasn't planning on even checking out this silly prequel stuff (even though I've bought some kind of Alien quadrology box thig twice now, first as DVDs and later BluRay) I have to admit that trailer kinda - aw hell, yeah, I want to see it now.

thig->thing

at least the movie was shot in 3D, not post-converted, and what we've seen so far looks fantastic in 2D, so no one should complain about that aspect at least.

This and The Dark Knight Rises both coming out in 2012 will make the end of the world in December a little more bearable, I guess.

this was shot in 3d?

can i just watch it in 2d?

Of course. Has there been a 3D release that wasn't generally available in 2D also?

so tonight my friend told me that the yoga festival she's organizing starts on june 8 and i said "that's the day Prometheus comes out!!" [blank stare] "The new aliens movie!!"
she laughed
but i was serious

i <3 u rrrobyn

:)

wait so this is in 3D+IMAXZ too?! whoa

Yeah, I don't know what day of the week June 8 is, but I'll be pulling a sickie if it's a weekday

if only there was a way we could find out...

Re:3-D, while it's the last thing I want to see, 1) This is the first Ridley Scott joint in 3-D, and the man knows how to make a movie, 2) It's actually shot in 3-D, rather than retrofitted and 3) Scott is one of those rare directors so thrilled with the 3-D results that he's sworn (ha) never to make another 2-D movie.

Of course, the question should be, have you ever seen a 2-D version of a recent 3-D movie and wished it was in 3-D? I would answer no, and I've seen a bunch of them "flat," from Captain American and Harry Potter to recent Pixars. Not a one had me leaving the theatre wishing things were jumping at my face. A few that I saw in 3-D - Up, TS3, Hugo - might as well have been in 2-D, bar a scene or two. So who knows what Ridley has up his sleeves.

And then there's Avatar, which I could not have at through were it not in 3-D, which is its own sort of novelty category.

Yeah wow this is badass. Amazing trailer. Had no idea Charlize Theron was in this.

3D, who cares. I've never really had an unpleasant 3D experience with RealD, the worst that happened was that bits didn't look 3D enough. Which, hey, puts you back in the same spot you were already in.

thing is im not super convinced 'the man knows how to make a movie' anymore
