This week a trailer has been released of Prometheus - the Ridley Scott Alien universe movie coming out this summer - which shows more than its fair share of terrifying elements thus far kept under heavy wraps by the company.

Prometheus Analyzed: Space Jockeys
Our week of Prometheus continues here with the alien race we’ll be seeing here in the blockbuster of the summer: The Space Jockey. What we’ll be doing here is moving through several of the most pointed scenes and tips we’ve received on the movie and hypothesizing on what we’ll end up seeing here in the actual full-length film. The race of beings you’ll see here that’ve thus far been called Space Jockeys will be appearing on the planet in the Zeta II Reticuli system we saw in the original Alien movie and Aliens, and their presence will be made clear not through some dormant mummy-like situation, but through the humans that visit the environment themselves.
Prometheus Analyzed: Facehuggers
This week we’re dropping a selection of analyzations of the upcoming blockbuster science fiction of the summer Prometheus, and it all starts with the demon spawn that always comes first in an Alien film: the facehugger. This creature was the last being expected to pop up by fans of the original Alien as Ridley Scott himself several times noted that this film would be an entirely different entity, but lo and behold the newest trailer has revealed a new iteration of that animal once more. Let’s have a look at what we can infer from what we’ve seen so far.

This week we sat down with 3D rig and software company 3ality Technica’s Stephen Pizzo to discuss their newest products and how they played a part in the filming of recent giant Hollywood films as Prometheus.
