Dammit...Alot of spoilers, like who dies, what is there, who does what...How can a spoiler be so detailed? Aren't they still shooting this thing?

Principle photography has wrapped on Prometheus, but in any case the linked synopsis appears to be a gag. Gag or not, it bears practically ZERO resemblance to the final shooting script.
BTW, FWIW, the recently "leaked" trailer wasn't leaked (unless studio viral marketing strategy constitutes a leak).
The boys and girls in the Fox marketing department are obviously having a lot of fun with this one).
:lol

That's exactly what I thought when I saw that the "leaked" trailer survived more than a few hours on the Web...

Actually, it was leaked and not a viral campaign.

That's fan made, it was posted on imdb 3 months ago.

Looks like the androids are named alphabetically: Ash, Bishop, Call and now David. But shouldn't the one on Prometheus, which predates the ones in the Alien movies, be Aaron or Aadvark or something?
Ha, I never realized that! Should start with a Z. It then resets to A (Ash) with ALIEN.

I love the shot of Fassbender in the helmet. That is right out of heavy metal magazine.

Glad to see these suits:
...because the LiS wetsuits look lacking.

Seems to be alot of comment worthy info being released at the moment. Looks like an Alien corpse on the floor to me, a very large Alien. The hips ,rib cage and thighs look like a combination of the Queen and the original Alien but much larger. The "egg" looks more like a eyeless skull on the floor to me, rather than an egg knocked over unopenned. The "vibe" in the first shot is great though ,spot on Ridley.
There is also a lot of fuss being made now about it "NOT" being an Alien prequel. I think the main reason for this is that FOX is trying to sell this as a complete stand alone picture with much less horror in it than the original. The reason being I guess is that they want to pull more people across the age groups into see it. This is a very expensive movie, may be Ridleys costliest, so I think its a dead cert this will be very mainstream, with Fox looking for Avatar type returns off it. Still, if they don't go with the gore, I'm guessing there will be a Ridley Directors Cut DVD out with plenty of it in. That would be very wise marketing indeed.

^I gave out points for the trailer but I'm docking one for the big head, which isn't as cool as I was hoping. It could've been mindblowing, but it's just ho-hum, sadly. Exactly as I feared it would be.
