Holy shit, this came out in 1979... before I was even born.
This movie was meant for someone to see. It was metaphores kinda. WEYLAND always knew who Ripley was. Thats why she got selected? Shes an IMBRED in one of the movies.
James Cameron made this?
You have to combined Alien, Aliens, Aliens 3 and Aliens Resurection. Predator, Predator 2 and AVP and AVP2 to understand these movies. Did James Cameron even make PREDATORS movie?
Ridley Scott made this movie. James Cameron made the sequel. And you definitely don't have to combine the Alien and Predator movies to understand what's going on.
Saw a clip of this in another movie and had to come back and say how awesome both films were in here. That other film I was talking about is Finding Joe, I really learned a lot about the story of hero's from it. //bitly com /tRidaq

As awesome as the trailer is in its entirety for getting across the feeling of the movie without giving much away, it could totally end at 0:50 because the title reveal followed by just a glimpse of the ship is that awesome.
should be a comedy version, they're only part way to destination and an onboard alien opens all the cryopods. then over the course of the film they all get cabin fever and kill each other, except one or some who end up in a monolith ending.
i watched this movie and i was fine.. until that dam alien breaks out of that guys chest.. freaked me the hell out. Then after that alll chaos breaks lose... love the alien franchise, first two by far are the BEST in the series and Sigourney Weaver kicks a** as Ripley
HOLY SHIT, I dont usually comment on youtube, but I must say that this trailer REALLY scared the shit out of me... holy shit I even had to turn the lights on
@PhantomoftheMusical The creator of Alien and Blade Runner returns to the genre after 30 years and makes an Alien prequel with a Blade Runner sequel already in the works? Nah.
@BeyondTheMonolith To each his own. I didn't care for The Omen (I didn't hate it but I'm not crazy about it either). The Fog would've been a lot better if Carpenter hadn't put his then-wife in it. But that's opinion.
@PKrising24 I like the original Predator, and didn't bother seeing any of its sequels/spinoffs. I stopped watching big effects movies after 1991-1992. The computer-generated effects in T2 basically spoiled the whole industry...it's made filmmakers lazy. Each week I see advertising for another POS 'horror' film or comic book/video game adaptation filled with ridiculous CGI and I laugh at how bad it looks. Yet kids keep throwing their money away on it...
The Alien film series is a science fiction horror film franchise, focusing on Lieutenant Ellen Ripley (played by Sigourney Weaver) and her battle with an extraterrestrial lifeform, commonly referred to as "the Alien". Produced by 20th Century Fox, the series started with the 1979 film Alien, which led to three movie sequels, as well as numerous books, comics and video game spinoffs.
Related to the franchise are the "Alien vs. Predator" films (Alien vs. Predator and Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem), based on the related franchise which combine the Aliens with the Predators from the Predator film series.
30 years later, and this is STILL an awesome trailer! Suspenseful, frightening, chilling This is how a trailer should be done. Build up the suspense but don't tell too much of what is happening like today's trailers do...they tell way too much of the story before you ever hit the theater. Make the viewer actually want to see the movie to understand what is going on in the trailer. That trailer makes me want to see the film when I've already seen it several times.
This trailer gives me goosebumps. Both the creepiness as well as the epicness. I honestly find the Aliens fascinating, and love all the games/movies. Even the bad ones.
if you look closely at this trailer and the prometheus trailer, youll notice something EXTREMELY similar in both movies. and not just the title sequence.
why cant trailers be more like this, you dont know what the phuck is going on. todays standards, we would have already seen the alien and gotten the whole story minus a few insignificant details.
This trailer set the tone for all horror trailers. What a lot of people fail to realize is that Ridley Scott wasn't making a sci do movie. This was straight up horror, fine tuned to a chilling degree. The fact that the xenomorph is never shown in the trailers (much less hinted at), the lack of voice, the cryptic showing of the egg. I know people who saw the trailer and have been too crawled out to see the movie.
The tradition of the "ship's cat" goes back a long way (in fact, to when Ridley Scott himself was Botswain on HMS Bounty under Captain William Bligh - which is how he got the idea). Back in those days. the cat was "employed" to catch rats in the food rations - but they're so cute that all military vessels, even tanks, now have one - standard issue - in the British Armed Services.
Why do people believe the Space jockeys created the Xenomorphs?? Nobody has officially said they did, they just saw the eggs in the crashed ship and put two and two together and came up with 7. Maybe the face huggers have lived on LV-426 for millions of years and when they attacked the SJ it produced a Xeno queen!!
Exactly. I've never read anything that officially says ( from any of the directors or writers ) that the Space Jockeys created the xenOs. That's like saying because some other alien race found a bird cage with birds in it from one of our abandoned spaceships then humans must have created birds ...
@robocong7420 Watch Alien and compare it to either of the Alien Vs. Predator movies. Special effects have improved, but Ridley Scott did rely on special effects as much as great lighting, great writing and great acting.
ummm... if you like movies that are slower, less exciting, take longer to get going, have less action, then the first alien was definitely better. but i'm not really into "suspense" movies. i mean... suspense is good. but too much suspense and not enough action is not
I don't think Prometheus is going to ignore Aliens but I think the official chronology is going to be Prometheus, Alien and Aliens. Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection will be ignored. Oh well both of the last movies sucked.
@Mike19737 I absolutely agree 4,3, even 2 sucked and don't hold a candle to the original. It stands alone. From all I have read Prometheus IS a prequel to Alien, but don't expect to see any of those creatures. This is not about them at all, but the movie finally answers where the derelict ship and pilot came from, and why it crashed on LV-436. I already know why.
except that the only thing is that aleinS (the part 2) was so much better than any of the others. the artwork, the look of the aliens, the queen alien. no other sci fi movie to date has ever come close to alienS. i dont expect prometheus to either but i'm still gonna enjoy it
@neosoc Certainly didn't help. I always hated on Aliens 3 for a long time (and not just because of the screwed up name) until I picked up the Quadrilogy set and rewatched it. It's surprisingly good and more like Alien than Aliens. The "director's cut" also helps a little, even if the added footage is pretty rough.
Alien Resurrection still sucked, even after rewatching, though. That film's just crap.
@flickflack I like Resurrection because it highlights Joss Whedon's annoying-ness as a writer and a team player. Apparently, Jean-Pierre Jeunet wanted to make a film more like the original Alien, but Joss stupidly wanted it to be over-the-top and campy.
@Mike19737 I think its very bold wot Ridley is attempting to do, and this thing hasnt been done alot in movie franchises at all. The Starwar saga was probably the first of this thing with origins, but then again Lucas bieng the perfectionist he is counted on technology to bump up a notch over decades that he wud do wot no other film-maker wud do especially bk then. So Im very intrigued by Prometheus. And atleast Alien 3 tried to end one part of the franchise instead of keep cashingin
@Mike19737 Not ignored as such, just that this is adding to the lore about the Alien origins not the Alien itself but the race who brought it into being, Prometheus does feature the space jockey and those who remember Alien will remember that the space jockey was found dead with its chest burst. Will this be explained in Prometheus as to how the space jockey died? maybe.. but its a good chance it will.
@mariodubbz It's a prequel only because it's happening before Alien 1, but it's a new stand alone story that has nothing to do with Ripley. They should have done the same about the new Terminator, a new story in the same world, and stop milking Arnold's nippels.
@kdudesmyth Serriosly,they should spend the night together(no homo shit) with a good bottle, and brainstorm the most terrifying and action packed original sci-fi/action movie ever known to man.You could even add Speilberg to the mix if he's in for (minimum)a PG-13 movie.Leave the kids with the babysitter.
@James1803 Yeah this trailer doesn't have inception music though, where as the Promethius one does, so you aren't accomplishing anything by saying that dumbshit.
@James1803 If you are musically inclined, it is very obvious that the Prometheus trailer has a very similar theme. the "thumps" that you hear are in tune with the inception orchestrative rhythm and have the same pitch and bass, that being said, people have every right to say that the Prometheus trailer's soundtrack is similar to inception, AND it has no similarity to this trailer. Whether or not the producers of Prometheus had the purpose of re-creating the inception music.
@TheMadAdder if you remember watching Alien (Ridley Scott) and then Aliens (James Cameron) then you should notice that the aliens are very much different especially in the directors cut they even reproduce differently (scene with the cocoons)
Also the Official Prometheus trailer came out yesturday and it shows Facehuggers and the Space Jockey ship
People that are fans of the series including the first film will not be disappointed over getting to see something new I'm sure the creatures will
DAMN so he following the trailer template for this and its a fucking incredible template for a trailer, I am guessing they patented it considering no one else just jacked it. But damn that was amazing amazing trailer. Wasnt just BAM BAM BAM it was more intelligent, if I had been in a cinema at this time period and seen this trailer would of been sold striaght away. Loved how you didnt see the alien once either!
the first Alien movie is still terrifying to this day. I watched it with the lights off this year, and was scared out of my wits. It's so suspenseful and intense.
after seeing the trailer for Ridley Scott's prequel Prometheus, it seems very reminiscent of this one. I think both are great trailers. They give you brief, tantalising, horri

@Mike19737 I absolutely agree 4,3, even 2 sucked and don't hold a candle to the original. It stands alone. From all I have read Prometheus IS a prequel to Alien, but don't expect to see any of those creatures. This is not about them at all, but the movie finally answers where the derelict ship and pilot came from, and why it crashed on LV-436. I already know why.

@enisorian
except that the only thing is that aleinS (the part 2) was so much better than any of the others. the artwork, the look of the aliens, the queen alien. no other sci fi movie to date has ever come close to alienS. i dont expect prometheus to either but i'm still gonna enjoy it

@Mike19737 No, not exactly. Rewatch Alien 3. It's horribly underrated.

@flickflack I heard that the chief problems with Alien 3 were caused by low budget and interference from the studio in the filming process.

@neosoc Certainly didn't help. I always hated on Aliens 3 for a long time (and not just because of the screwed up name) until I picked up the Quadrilogy set and rewatched it. It's surprisingly good and more like Alien than Aliens. The "director's cut" also helps a little, even if the added footage is pretty rough.
Alien Resurrection still sucked, even after rewatching, though. That film's just crap.

@flickflack I like Resurrection because it highlights Joss Whedon's annoying-ness as a writer and a team player. Apparently, Jean-Pierre Jeunet wanted to make a film more like the original Alien, but Joss stupidly wanted it to be over-the-top and campy.

@Mike19737 I think its very bold wot Ridley is attempting to do, and this thing hasnt been done alot in movie franchises at all. The Starwar saga was probably the first of this thing with origins, but then again Lucas bieng the perfectionist he is counted on technology to bump up a notch over decades that he wud do wot no other film-maker wud do especially bk then. So Im very intrigued by Prometheus. And atleast Alien 3 tried to end one part of the franchise instead of keep cashingin

@Mike19737 Not ignored as such, just that this is adding to the lore about the Alien origins not the Alien itself but the race who brought it into being, Prometheus does feature the space jockey and those who remember Alien will remember that the space jockey was found dead with its chest burst. Will this be explained in Prometheus as to how the space jockey died? maybe.. but its a good chance it will.

Why is Ridley Scott saying this Prometheus has nothing to do with the original ? Looks like a prequel to me...
mariodubbz 1 month ago
@mariodubbz It's a prequel only because it's happening before Alien 1, but it's a new stand alone story that has nothing to do with Ripley. They should have done the same about the new Terminator, a new story in the same world, and stop milking Arnold's nippels.

@kdudesmyth Serriosly,they should spend the night together(no homo shit) with a good bottle, and brainstorm the most terrifying and action packed original sci-fi/action movie ever known to man.You could even add Speilberg to the mix if he's in for (minimum)a PG-13 movie.Leave the kids with the babysitter.

James1803 3 weeks ago
@James1803 If you are musically inclined, it is very obvious that the Prometheus trailer has a very similar theme. the "thumps" that you hear are in tune with the inception orchestrative rhythm and have the same pitch and bass, that being said, people have every right to say that the Prometheus trailer's soundtrack is similar to inception, AND it has no similarity to this trailer. Whether or not the producers of Prometheus had the purpose of re-creating the inception music.
conman2317 3 weeks ago
@conman2317 Well, the score is done by the same guy. And to be honest, they just sound like a prolonged violin strum to me.
Actually, the fact that people point to Inception with the Prometheus trailer music annoys me. Like they're obsessed or something.
FlyingFocs 3 weeks ago
@conman2317 Actually, scratch that, the scores for Inception and Prometheus weren't done by the same guy.
But the violin strum theory still stands.

@TheMadAdder if you remember watching Alien (Ridley Scott) and then Aliens (James Cameron) then you should notice that the aliens are very much different especially in the directors cut they even reproduce differently (scene with the cocoons)
Also the Official Prometheus trailer came out yesturday and it shows Facehuggers and the Space Jockey ship
People that are fans of the series including the first film will not be disappointed over getting to see something new I'm sure the creatures will
