Well here we go. It’s been online in SD for a few hours, but we like to keep things nice and high-res around here as much as possible, especially for something like this. The trailer is live at Apple, though not every person on the planet can see it apparently. I’m still not sure if it’s a region thing or what, but the site is not updating for me and many others (a problem I had for several hours with The Hobbit debut) though it’s definitely out there for most.
I’ve embedded a fresh, HD YouTube upload, but I assure you it will be yanked sooner rather than later, so hopefully Apple is working for you…
No two ways about it: that’s a pretty fucking glorious trailer. Huge, scary, familiar and yet fresh, this is undoubtedly an Alien prequel, even if there won’t ultimately be familiar xenomorphs (which is likely why they keep trying to distance the obviously related films). It’s tough to pick out which chilling shot or epic vista is most impressive, but this might be it for me:
…and who doesn’t love the title treatment and sound design that alludes back to the trailer for Scott’s original masterpiece?
