Yet another Prometheus trailer arrives, and this international one has some new footage in it. Including a glimpse of something rather wriggly...
Accepting that we’re a little late to the party with this one, we thought we’d share the latest international trailer for Prometheus with you for completeness’ sake. The weekend saw a veritable meteor shower of Prometheus-related trailers and information, including Q&As with Ridley Scott and Damon Lindeloff, as well as Michael Fassbender and Charlize Theron, but of all promotional stuff we’ve been treated to over the last few days, the latest trailer enclosed below is our favourite.
The pace, atmosphere and shiny lights of the first full trailer released on Friday night (and dissected for your reading pleasure here) made us anxious to see the finished film, but the international trailer is more deliberately paced and subtle.
There are some new snippets of footage in here, too - lots more from the first act, where a map to the stars is found, Erich von Daniken-like, among ancient artefacts - but the bit that intrigued us the most arrives at the two minute mark: a pale, slippery and Lovecraftian tail wriggles its way into an unknown victim’s space suit.
During Ridley Scott’s Friday night Q&A at WonderCon, someone asked if Prometheus would contain anything as shocking as the chestburster sequence in Alien. Scott’s reply was a casual, “Oh yeah. I’m embarrassed about it. It’s pretty shocking.” Could pale wriggly things burrowing into space suits be one of these shocking moments he’s talking about? And if it is as unpleasant as Alien, does that mean Prometheus won’t be a PG-13 after all?
