Trailer's here:

At every step of this marketing campaign a bootleg version has beaten the official releases.

[MR. ELIMINATOR]

This film is gonna rock!

[Colin YNWA]

That trailer just keeps getting better and better with each new look we get.

[Mardroid]

Yeah, it's great. And I actually find it quite disquieting (yeah, I'm a big girl's blouse) which isn't a bad thing for this kind of film.

Finally  . It all felt a little bit anti-climatic, as there's been many differant trailers/preview's leaked/released and all of varying quality, but one look at the HD version and all is forgiven - http://www.prometheusnews.net/movie/official-trailer/
Nice to be able to actually see the images clearly, instead of squinting and thinking your seeing stuff that wasnt there. Been much talk on various forum sites of Serpant like things, and Alien Zenomorphs jumping onto Space Jockeys etc in the trailer, 
Counting down the days now............

Head of a space-jockey:





There'll be no Xenomorphs in this film though.

[Proudhuff]

There'll be no Xenomorphs in this film though.

you can be sure ?

Scott said it himself:

No. Absolutely not. They squeezed it dry. He (the xenomorph) did very well. (He laughs) He survived, he's now in Disneyland in Orlando, and no way am I going back there. How did he end up in Disneyland? I saw him in Disneyland, Jesus Christ!

There's a quote I did, a pretty good quote: By the end of the third act you start to realize there's a DNA of the very first Alien, but none of the subsequent aliens. To tell you what that is is a pity, and I'm not going to tell you, because it's actually pretty good, pretty organic to the process and to the original. But we go back, we don't go forward.

Thats a pretty definite NO from Ridley regarding the Alien, thank grud. Unless, after a test screening when 20th Century Fox reads the comment cards and finds that they all say "boring! why isnt the Alien in it" (because thats what'll happen), and are panicked into cut n pasting one in.

Mind you im not against other elements from previous Alien films returning

That's why it's not sold as part of the Alien franchise.

[locustsofdeath!]

The only problem being is that we know how it ends. Of course we don't know details, but a certain amount of suspense is lifted because we know the Space Jockeys end up fossilized. I do hope that very few Space Jockey elements carried over from the 'Paradise" (I think that was what it was called) Alien Prequel script, as I found them a bit like pervy old men in that one.

Knowing how the ship sank in Titanic didn't stop it being suspenseful. All depends on the story not the end.

[locustsofdeath!]

Knowing how the ship sank in Titanic didn't stop it being suspenseful.

Um...I missed all the suspense in Titanic, sorry.

or United 93.

[locustsofdeath!]

Never saw United 93...well, I hope you're right. And maybe the fact that I don't have extremely high hopes for this film will allow me to enjoy it. It certainly looks great - but outside of Kingdom of Heaven (the director's cut, I feel I have to add) I haven't really enjoyed a Ridley Scott film in some time.

EDIT: I have to say, it is refreshing to see an R-rated science fiction blockbuster getting so much positive hype.
