Wasn't accusing him of such. Just saying, if I was the one who wrote the thing, I would be a little annoyed that I wouldn't at least get to be on the stage with Lindelof and Scott.

How many screenwriters are part of the publicity for movies though? What about the composer? Or the director of photography? Is it a realistic expectation?

Realistic? Maybe, maybe not. Depends on the profile of the writer, on the context of the panel and the questions. Is it realistic for this guy? Probably not, no. But I can't make myself believe that the writer is holding his expectations within the realm of rationality, and I don't think that most other people in his shoes would either. This is kind of a non-issue though.

A little over 1 more hour left until I can get home and watch the UK trailer. :(

Looking fucking awesome.

Please don't let me down. Please don't somehow ruin Alien.

Even if this disappoints, I hope it kills at the box office, just to encourage more movies like this.

Just watched the trailer, had a "WTF?" moment when I saw that. So this is looking like it may have more to do with Alien than Scott was leading us to believe? I thought he'd pretty well made it sound like it didn't really have shit to do with Alien?

Man the marketing is actually working on some people.

I really hope Idris Elba's accent doesn't take me out of the film. I really like him but I think i've heard three different accents from him in the trailers so far.

In the teaser clips, it sounded like he was talking in his normal English accent. The UK trailer shows he's affected a full Texas drawl. I had no idea he was British when he was in The Wire, so I'm just hoping my exposure to the real him in Luther won't color my perception.

This cannot, and will not disappoint. At least not in any way that isn't minor quibbles. There is far too much good readily apparent in the trailer to not walk out of the theater at least satisfied.

i.e. Everyone! Thank you.

The download on this 1080p file is 3.8 times the size of the 1080p .mp4 that's up on AMC's YouTube channel.

The film just looks good too. As a baseline, it will be a gorgeous film to put on i nthe background when doing other things, which is a hurdle most films can't manage.

This might be a bit far fetched but I remember someone pointing out the ship has a similar shape as the alien cycle concept art, and the egg chamber is coincidentally is in the center of it (I think?)
Click to expand...
But I believe the egg chamber was initially supposed to be found in the pyramid, not the ship (then again, you did say "coincidentally" ^^).

I didn't know Jockey's were bad guys

I seem to remember they were initially meant to be benevolent, but cheap drama gotta cheap...

One thing I'm worried about is that the dialogue seems like your average dramatic Hollywood stilted type. Not that it's bad, but it doesn't seem to compare at all to that wonderfully realistic chit chat that takes place in Alien.
Click to expand...
Definitely. Not that we've heard much, but it's Lindelof, so...
And then there would be the story: if it's anything like the supposed synopsis out there (and boy do the trailers seem to fit), it's pretty damn terrible.

Er... What about the story? Kinda important, in science fiction...
 
US trailer is way more intense.

I do like the Alien-like forming of the logo at the end of the UK trailer though.

You know, something's been bugging me about all of this.
We know we're going to see something about the Space Jockey. We know there's a gigantic mid-air crash, which will cause the Space Jockey ship to plummet back to the planet. There's a lot here leading up to Alien, right?

Here's the thing.

Where does the following image from Alien...fit in?

http://www.fmtaccess.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Ridley-reveals-Space-Jockey.jpg

Clearly, there's a large, gaping hole in the Space Jockey's ribcage, where something had to have punched outward. Chestburster, obviously.

So if this is the same Space Jockey, it has to survive the crash. If it doesn't, then it cannot be the Space Jockey in Alien, since a chestburster requires a living host.

And if this Jockey survives the crash, then it's rather appropriate for a Jockey to become impregnated. It'd fit rather nicely within the series' fatalistic irony.

So yeah. It's going to be interesting...

someone can possibly transform into that jockey and the chest burst scene can be one of the last shots of the movie tying it into alien possibly
 
It is easily my most anticipated film of the year, though there are still some things that irk me. For one, I have not seen any indication that Woola is in this movie. And I've poured over those high res screens of the murals on the wall.

It will have Woola DNA in it, but it's not necessarily a Woola origin story.

Ridley for a long time, if not always, thought the Space Jockeys we're creating biological weapons. So I don't think he thought they were benevolent.

The most recent trailers prove a large chunk of that old synopsis wrong. Right of the bat it doesn't identify Pearce's character as Peter Weyland. It seems pretty clear that it was fan speculation based off what little information had leaked.

In his own words

The derelict ship contains several thousand Alien eggs. It is suggested by Ridley Scott in the director commentary to the film that the Space Jockey's ship was an "aircraft carrier or battlewagon of a civilization, and the eggs were a cargo which were essentially weapons. Like a large form of bacterialogical/biomechanoid warfare." The eggs, which are kept in the ship's hold, could presumably be dropped on an enemy planet, and the Aliens would proceed to kill the population as they spawned. "The Space Jockey was...the driver of the craft who is now, after many ages...has started to look like a perfect example of...where does biology end and technology begin, because he seems to have grafted...into what essentially was...a pilot's seat. But clearly from here, this is where the transmission would emanate from probably in an automatic transmission. So this creature obviously had experienced, maybe one of the eggs had been disturbed and a creature had got out, had attacked the rest of the crew...but let's say he was a part of the civilization he came from and now had melded into his seat." The Nostromo's computer, Mother, starts to translate the Space Jockey's transmission and it appears to Ripley to be a warning.

It was bad, but it paled in comparison to how horrible Stranger in a Strange Land was.
Click to expand...

Well Stranger in a Strange Land was literally the only episode in six seasons that I thought had zero redeeming qualities. It was bad for an episode of TV. The other "bad" Lost episodes are just bad compared to all the greatest Lost episodes. Even Exposé was enjoyable as a contained little story.

But I'll get back on topic...
 
People actually think this looks good?

Awful trailer. Especially that seizure inducing quick cuts that seem to be mandatory in trailers these days.
