He did say no Xenomorphs not no Aliens.

Yes he did say that, I think this Prometheus is something that create first-born of Xenomorphs (with that chest-burn of Space Jockey in Alien?

And sorry if I says Alien again as this image below as you see in middle of long text as you can see it nearly spelling into ALIEN?

It's definitely a alien prequel, but no xenomorphs as quoted before. But maybe xenos in a form we have never seen them before, like not mixed with human or a dog.  But I think we will find out more about them then we ever have before.

The trailer is amazing!!!!

Original Alien Trailer 1979 - Similarities aplenty. :)

Just been looking at the poster again, and thought a few things (that may have already been mentioned):
Look closely at the eye socket, seemingly in complete shadow on the giant statue thing. Maybe enlarge it a bit. You can see in the socket, the white bit of the eye as well as the pupil, for some reason I found this really creepy. Also, enlarge it, take a step back, apparently it's been designed to be like the egg with the light cracking through it like in the original alien trailer, I can see it. also, look at the fog around the character at the bottom, the light just catches some egg shaped things...
They say you need to spend money to make money, well I've never made any money so by that logic I've never spent any.

The LA Times has an interview with Prometheus writer Damon Lindelof. Of interest though is the new production still of Noomi Rapace in a very Gigeresque looking corridor - http://herocomplex.latimes.com/2012/01/14/prometheus-damon-lindelof-ridley-scott-photos-alien-prequel/

Mmm, now what are those "things" in the background?

There's a fair amount of crap spouted in that interview.  Since when were the crew of the space-tractor Nostromo "scientists who encounter extraterrestrials while exploring an alien planet".  The only 'scientist' on board was a [spoiler]company-planted synthetic[/spoiler], .  And saying "...the universe in which each takes place shares a similar aesthetic".  Well indeed, prequel or not, it's plainly the same bloody universe.  Doesn't inspire confidence when this is the writer talking.

Added to the fact that Prometheus appears to be about[spoiler] the alien origins of human civilisation[/spoiler], a topic I hate with a passion, and [spoiler]the wonderfully enigmatic trunked space jockeys are just big near-humans in suits[/spoiler], and I'm just not feeling it here.

In fairness it's the 'interviewer' -if you can even call it an interview or even an article- who calls the Nostromo crew, 'scientitsts', and Lindelof's isolated quote on shared aesthetics is only one short line plucked from a larger conversation. I blame the editorial for this waste of non-informative pixel-space.

This film getting more and more curious!

As could be statues of Space Jockeys in background?
