There are clues in the Prometheus trailer that connect with "Alien," primarily the unmistakable image of the so"Space Jockey" encountered by Lambert, Kane and Dallas. The jockey is perched in a command chair, controlling a telescope or weapon. These items are visible in the Prometheus trailer, as well as the Jockey's ship taking off and crashing. (no spoliers; it's all in the trailer).

The most fun i've had watching an action movie since Die Hard came out in 1988. Shoot 'Em Up should have been a major hit. Incredibly, this picture lost money. Do not let that stop you from checking it out. A helluva lot of fun in the way only wildly preposterous guilty pleasures can be. So gleefully over-the-top it makes John Woo look like a sissy.
