Prometheus trailer

It's the end of the year, and we've been treated to not one, not two, but three trailers for The Dark Knight Rises, The Hobbit, and Prometheus.

This is one of several links to the upcoming Ridley Scott Alien prequel, Prometheus http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIBiimdaj3A

After hearing about Prometheus a while ago, and the rumours flying around as to the subject of the film -knowing it to be a prequel but what angle it will take - I was thrilled to hear that the giant pilot from the first of the quadrilogy would play a role. From the trailer, this looks to be true, as we see it's skull being (presumably) scanned, and the chair rising out of the floor.

One aspect of the trailer that I love, is the use of the same appearance of the title Prometheus as is used in the first Alien film.This is a definite nod in the direction, for anyone who was in doubt, that this is indeed a prequel.

The tagline "They wenmt looking for our beginning, what they found could be our end" is another hint at the Xenomorph (hark at me with my fancy knowledge). One thing that is odd, are the scenes from 28 seconds into the trailer, to 31 seconds, with the giant statue of a human face, and what look to be jars which are arranged similarly to the eggs, and ends with a similar situation of a man with something on his face screaming. 

So many questions are raised by the trailer that it will be interesting to see whether or not Scott will be able to answer them all. How come humans have found the crashed ship before? Will we finally learn about the mysterious pilot? What is the link to "our beginning"? And, perhaps most importantly, is the date at the end of the trailer Americanised (month before day) or British (day before month)? Either way, June 8 or August 6, we'll know!
