A video-editing whiz has remade the new Prometheus trailer using footage from director Ridley Scott's Alien.
"Alien Teaser Trailer -- Prometheus Style," by Joel Walden (aka YouTube user heresjohnny1991), takes all the tropes of the buzz-worthy trailer for Scott's upcoming sort-of prequel -- ominous music, smash-cuts of big-action moments, compelling fonts -- and applies them to footage from 1979's Alien. It's interesting to see how easily the pieces fit together, a sign that even after 30-plus years, the director's eye for sci-fi style remains impressively consistent.
This was bound to happen sooner or later, but thank goodness it ended up being sooner. Check out Walden's awesome mashup below, then for kicks check out the original Alien trailer as well as the new Prometheus teaser.
Prometheus opens June 8, 2012, in 3-D.
