Alien prequel? I can't find anything about that.
Inside joke I'm not aware of?

Started out as a direct prequel. Subsequently, it became more about creating the universe that the original takes place in rather than being about specifics from it. Save, at least, for the origin of the Xenomorph(s).
Still, Ridley has been very coy about how much it ties in so who knows.

Stop the trailer at the 45 second mark, and I believe you'll see the machine that 'the pilot' from Alien was on.

I swear she looks like Liz Sladen.
BTW, why is everyone getting so wet over this? I guess I'd have to be an ALIEN/S fan, huh? Who will be playing a young Paul Reiser?

Noomie Rapace from the original Girl with the Dragon Tattoo movies and the new Sherlock Holmes movie.
And, yes, you'd have to be an Alien fan (or just have good taste in sci-fi). It doesn't hurt that not only is it a return for Scott to the franchise (in a round-about way), but his return to a genre he does so very well: sci-fi.

but his return to a genre he does so very well: sci-fi. Yeah, I've never seen any of the sequels (not even Aliens) but that's what's got me excited here. I thought he'd keep doing shit like Robin Hood forever.

Nice trailer. I like how it doesn't make it obvious that it's an 'Alien' prequel but has enough clues there that fans can tell if they look closely.

I'm guessing the film does have the Aliens but they are going to great lengths to avoid making that obvious. Probably because Scott doesn't want the stench of the non-Cameron sequels on it.

They've got another one of Weyland talking at the TED conference in like 2023 or something.

so what's it about if it doesn't have the Aliens? The original creative team (Scott, O'Bannon, etc.) have long dropped hints that the aliens are genetically engineered weapons and that the ship with the egg chamber in the first one was a crashed deployment ship. Might have a lot to do with that race and, from the viral marketing, the androids from the franchise.

So the aliens in Aliens weren't really aliens, just a case of past human genetic engineering gone wrong... I don't know what to think now...

Where did you get the 'past human genetic engineering gone wrong' bit? Have you not seen the original 'Alien' movie? The ship they found was obviously alien in origin.

I think they're still aliens, but genetically engineered ones from some ancient alien race.

Now if you're saying the aliens in Aliens were genetically engineered weapons created by other ancient aliens then I get what you're saying now.
