So after all the defending Ridley did for Prometheus and the potential plot holes it looks like he's just ignoring that bigger story he started and remaking Alien but for this generation. I liked Prometheus but it looks like Ridley was making it all up on the job.

Could still be strands of Prometheus in there. We know David and Shaw are so thats a connection there. Plus this is only a teaser. The next trailer could give us a better idea of who and what we are dealing with here.
Anything Scott directs is worth a look- he's made far more great films than most directors can even hope to dream of....even his "failures" are pretty darn interesting
I agree. I think it's because he's very much a "thinking man's" director. Not to put anyone down that doesn't like his flicks as "non-thinking" (lord knows I enjoy brainless action as much if not more than the next man), it's just he always puts a lot of detailed thought into his films, rather than "I thought this would be really cool to include". Everything serves a specific purpose. He's not always successful with it IMO, bit I do appreciate that he's an enormous talent.
I like the look of the movie (considering it's pretty much Alien with a hint of Aliens in there) but it just renders Prometheus irrelevant now. That's not even David in the movie right? Just another model?
Is this Prometheus II or jus a alien reboot. Prometheus pissed me off the first time I saw it, but realized it was jus a slow burn of what's to come from the next two movies. This trailer looks like a huge leap forward. I don't know about this. At least it isn't the "let's forget about 3&4" blomkomp crap people at ranting about. I like blomkomp jus fine, but forgetting past movies is jus stupid.
Oohhh boy... I was jus watching YouTube videos of people being pissed about force awakens, and I couldn't agree any more! **** these unoriginal remakes! I mean cmon people, let's get something original going again. Or else, what's gonna be the next big thing??? Oh wait....a remake....

Agreed. I love the concept of Prometheus but thought the execution was horrendous. This is just going through the same troupes we've gotten numb to for 30 years of the series.
Also, Hollywood needs to stop giving away character deaths in trailers.
Spoilers were posted 12/18/16. Was from those who was at the test screenings and saw a rough cut of the film. There are also people "in the know" over at AvPGalaxy. They were the one who broke the news about James Franco and they also claim these leaks are legit. The trailer footage pretty much confirms it all.
HUGE SPOILERS for the entire movie:
Waterston, Danny McBride and Michael Fassbender are all good in it and that the central characters of the film are good
However the side-cast is your typical cannon fodder material and the film has some editing/pacing issues
David is the villain of the film. Aside from the Xenomorphs, he's the main bad guy. He's obsessed with creating the perfect organism.
He's the sole inhabanet of the planet the crew land on, which is called "Paradise"
It's the home world of the Engineers but David killed off all of them with the black goo
You hardly see any Engineers outside of the corpses scattered around the planet
Shaw is seen only in flashbacks. She's dead before the movie begins and she's the one who sent the beacon to the Covenant ship to help them find the planet
When David first tells the crew of Covenant what happened to Shaw, he claims she died when the Jockey ship crashed on the planet.
Later we find out David killed her or exposed her to black goo for testing
New type of Xeno: The Neomorphs are a new type of Xeno's and they burst out of a guys back and another ones throat
They run on all fours at first like the dog alien from Alien 3, then stand upright later on. They also have fang teeth and spike things on their back/tail that they can shoot.
Airbourne black spores infecting the crew is what creates these Neomorphs
David has a creepy shop of horrors underneath the Engineer citadel set up. Brownish looking room with failed experiments.
Basically he ****s over the Covenant crew when he finds them so he can use them for Xeno experiments.
David is also pretty much the one who creates the first facehugger and Xeno that we know and love.
He's responsible for creating the proto eggs and facehugger because he's been experimenting with the black goo since they arrived on the Planet.
David is able to lure a character into his egg room and exposes them to a classic facehugger.
This spawns the Proto-Xenomorph. It's not the classic one we know, but the closest to it. It is more animal in nature.
David can also communicate with the Neomorphs and he tries to protect them since he's the "father"
Movie ends in a way that's open to a sequel but has no tie to Alien.

Thank you for that. Exactly What i expected.
Basically Scott and co ditched the whole engineer, epic angle for this rehash of alien/aliens and unused story points of alien engineers the original Prometheus script.
They could have had the best of both worlds... Damn What a wasted opportunity to make something really original and new with alien.
Well this is gonna look very cool tho.
