Also, when they showed the engineer being standing outside of the weird space craft at the beginning of Prometheus, and he chugs the black sauce, convulses, speed rots and dies. Is that on the Prometheus planet? Or is that on the engineer home world that they were heading to at the end of Prometheus?

Prepare yourself for a bloodbath. When asked about Ridley’s love for practical effects, Huffam said, “We’re ordering the blood in the 40-gallon drums rather than the 5-gallon drums.” O’Sullivan said, “I think I’ve used more blood on this than I did on Saving Private Ryan.”

What's the point of that scene?
His drinking the stuff and croaking?

If that the same alien poison found on the Prometheus world?

When they step on that egg and the black powder stuff flies up, that's the same little speck that's in the water the person drinks in Prometheus right ?

The engineer drinks the black fluid because he is "seeding" the planet.

In this case, earth.

His DNA breaks down and plants the seed for what will be human beings. They were responsible for the first single celled organisms on our planet.

Shaw confirms this later in the movie when she discovers that humans and engineers share the same DNA. It was a "match".

They better still have live engineers to explain wtf they were doing on the planet from Prometheus and why they wanted to kill the humans.

The xenomorph is called "the perfect organism" by ash in alien - 1979.

We even see the xenomorph figure in the temple in prometheus in a "christ like" pose on the wall.

The engineers were trying to create this "perfect organism". I believe it was very much revered by these beings and their society.

In the planet seeding scene in prometheus, there is a deleted scene that shows many engineers on earth in robes performing a religious type ceremony during the planet seeding process.

The pursuit of the perfect organism by the engineers is paramount.

David even says in prometheus "to create one must destroy."

Perhaps the engineers were out to "destroy" humanity to create something greater - the xenomorph or an early iteration of one.

Have no idea how the movie will be but that was one of the worst trailers ever.

Pathetic...

You are Alien - you have maybe the best trailer ever...

And you put out this garbage mess trailer mish-mash?

Prometheus lost a lot of continuity of story in editing if you believe the interviews given by the filmmakers afterwards. my understanding is that the P planet was an outpost of sorts where they stored the black goo knowing how dangerous it was when in contact with other living organisms. It destroys in order to create

as to why the engineers were going to go back to earth and do a reset I do not know. that was what Shaw was intending to find out

They were upset at how violent we were, so 2000 years ago they sent an emissary to teach us peace, who we promptly killed. After that they were like frick the humans. Yes, the emissary was Jesus.
