I am convinced the planetoid LV-426 as described in Alien is the same planetoid the Prometheus lands on in the Prometheus movie. There is a slim possibility that they land on one of the other two smaller planetoids orbiting the ringed gas giant. The ringed gas giant can be clearly seen in the Prometheus trailers and the opening scenes of the Alien movie.
It might be in the same system, but look at this picture. The ships landed differently (vertically instead of horizontally), and unless the temple gets destroyed in the process, there was no evidence of it anywhere in Alien.
Could have easily fallen over..high winds, ground movement, etc.
Devil's advocate.
The shots of Shaw/Vickers running away, they're running from the slip which is rolling over after that crash, IMO
I agree... the ancient ship has attempted to take off... either they have tried to stop it and succeeded or perhaps what is attacking the humans has attacked the awakened ancient astronaut and causes the crash.
Well we do see in the trailer that the Prometheus crashes into the derelict, and no it's probably not at the end because the editors were given the full film apart from the final 11 minutes (the rumoured Alien DNA bit)

Yes, but if you see the last pic in the attachment, you'll notice the coloring is darker than the previous one and the ship "cooled off", indicating a time difference between both scenes.

To be honest, I think that's an interesting spin on the things, because people won't be expecting that. Sexual preferences aside and all, I think Hollywood is extremely conservative when it comes to same-sex relationships (even if there's no sex on screen involved), and in turn moviegoers consider it shocking and off-putting. If it was more common (in a respectful way, of course), more people would be tolerant towards it. It's all about prejudices, and mind you, I'm not judging you at all while saying this, but I do think this shouldn't be much of an issue.
I don't think it's the case because of Shaw/Holloway's relationship, I can't imagine Holloway cheating her with an android, of all things. I'd cheat her with Vickers, maybe

to clarify, the grid is a css layer overlaying the video. either the mp4 or ogv sphere video plays under it.
This is an old piece of speculation btw, but it's curious how nothing so far has proven it wrong.

Its possible this was sourced alongside one of the bunk scripts, too. I'm looking for proof that production commented on it, till I find it, do not regard as more than rumor patrol.

Been lurking for a while. This is probably nothing, and I apologise if it has been mentioned before, but I was playing with the images in the blue flashes posted earlier and saw what looks to be an arm and a shoulder of someone (with the black smear at the top their head) on the right of the image looking at ...something in the centre. I put a few yellow dots around what looks to me to be a head. Is that an eye on the left of it?
Meh...

Found the Pearce quote:
Quote:
Even though Guy Pearce was confirmed for a role in Ridley Scott's Prometheus, there's been little to no mention of him. He spoke with MTV today and explained, "I'm only [in the film] for a minute, but it was a real honor to work with Ridley [Scott], to see what was going on," he said. "I think Michael Fassbender, Noomi Rapace and Charlize Theron and everybody will do a really spectacular job."
While I don't think Guy was speaking in quantitative terms here and will appear for more than 60 seconds, its intriguing to consider how his role in the plot will be encapsulated in so compressed a period..
This was the root item which led me to ponder whether a brain transplant/imprint onto a David model was a possibility.

Seems suggestive of what some others have speculated on; Holloway is infected, has sex with Shaw, and the parasite metabolizes inside her, then once its removed, all hell breaks loose.
And I am certain that while we chase our tails on all this, that there is some whopping plot chunks Scott has kept a clamp down on.
No one wanted to cross him with outing plot details for this production, that much has been obvious from Day One.
You're probably talking about this (courtesy of my folks at /tv/).
And yes, it's a very plausible story. He probably slipped that into Shaw, then the whatever-squid-kinda-thing-is escapes, slips into suits, chases Shaw to rape her (again, wink wink), hell breaks loose. It's a bit blurry from here, since we don't know the role of those creatures with the Space Jockey/Engineer, nor how exactly the infection happens, since it's a small sperm-like infection at first, and nothing to do with the green thing David is holding in this picture. This is an old piece of speculation btw, but it's curious how nothing so far has proven it wrong.
Edit: Actually there IS one obvious discrepancy: David wouldn't fuck Shaw, since Holloway and her are a couple. This pic was made with info from the 1st trailer after all.

One way to find out is to compare the derelict ship's damage from Alien to the damaged one we see in these current trailers..
If this is the same planet, there must have been a huge atmospherical change tho since the weather on LV-426 was hurricane force fog and now it seems to be sunny and nice..
