Prometheus: So it is an Alien prequel

Remember how the tubes where glowing red hot with news about the upcoming Alien prequel by Ridley Scott? Remember how it all died down and was almost forgotten when Ridley Scott stated that the project went completely of course and developed into something different and that it's no-longer a prequel?
Yea whell, turns out that it is a prequel after all, just watch the newish trailer.

That looks awesome! 
Still, I wonder why every single trailer in hollywood has that sound in it now. That re-accuring sound, I think I heard it (or noticed it) First in the inception trailer song, mindheist, that sound that's like a big mechanical horn that goes off every two and a half seconds? Do they have a name for it so I can avoid these long explanations?
Anyway, it looks great.

See, I've watched that trailer numerous times over the last few days and I'm yet to see how it will work as an Alien prequel.
IF it is it's going to be VERY loosely tied. I think he's just thrown in a few nods here and there.

Back when the prequel was announced the description for it was that it will tell the story of the ship from Alien that had the eggs and how the crew fell victim to the xenomorphs.
And if you look at the trailer you'll see the following:
She ship
She "Space jokey" cannon
A room that looks a heck of a lot like the egg chamber
And the creepy "spine" tunnel
And the ship crashing with the two "horns" taking the positions they had in Alien

Like I said, LOOSELY tied.
The egg chamber? The "eggs" look far too smooth and clean. If anything he might just be adding a few nods and leaving it up to people whether they want to accept it as a prequel or not.

The trailer still looks pretty close to the originally announced prequel, who said a prequel has to be the exact same as the thing that follows? Prequels are there to lead into the main story, which automatically makes them loose.

Yea the eggs are weird, it does look like something comes out of them though. Maybe these are prototypes and the xenomorphs kinda evolved from that, after all it's been hinted at that they are a synthetic organism.
Buuuuut we'll learn soon enough. So all we really can do is

Someone who thinks reissues are KO's, lol
But yeah, I should probably go watch the Alien quartet, always bits and pieces but never an entire movie.

The "space jockey" clip seals the deal. There would be no reason for this set to be included in the movie, unless it is a direct prequel to Alien.
