Looked really similar to me, It'd be cool if they reused the set.

That covers some of the stuff in the trailer and some other cool little bits.

so this sci fi corridor thing already exist even before i was born .. TIME PARADOX!
I think it might be that he's using yah know.....sets and not green screen all over the place.
Slipsuis: you dissapoint me
The music is right out of the earliest trailers for Alien too. Brilliant.
It's weird to NOT be.
Interesting to see how much the Prometheus Trailer actually pays hommage to the original Alien Trailer.
made by much ancient civilization?
Fixed
I really wish this existed outside the Alien canon/universe. Oh well.
Nah, I've always wanted to know what the space jockey was. Hopefully the writers come up with an adequate explanation that maybe retains some of the mystery but answers a few questions. That image alone was a great premise for a movie.
Agreed. It was a great callback to Alien for people who remember, but that trailer had the text up at the top and out of the action. I had trouble concentrating on the Prometheus trailer (well, until I went full-on nerd and downloaded the 1080p version to go through frame-by-frame
That's exactly why I am worried about it. It just has that weird Star Wars prequels / Matrix sequels feel now - forcing explainations 'making sense' out of things left delightfully open in the original movies. Not everything needs to be explained, and leaving the space jockey alone would be best, I think. To me it gave that eerie feeling that even badass otherworldy species can be taken down by the aliens. It was awesome!
Anyways - there's also the possibility that the space jockey part will be just a nice little background touch in Prometeus too, with the trailer making it more important than it really is in the actual movie
It's like being on a paper ship in the bottom of a bucket. They fill the bucket up with water, and you start floating to the top. Only when you actually get there you see that you were inside another bucket all along. Then that one gets filled with water, and sure enough, when you get to the top you find out you're in yet another bucket... and so it continues.
Or they may just not do anything and simply explain everything until the franchise is lucas'd.
