I thought you'd be interested in seeing a couple of shorts directed by Niall Blomkamp who is apparently going to be directing the feature length version. These shorts have been put together with the help of WETA, the sfx company behind Lord of the Rings and King Kong.
I got the shivers when I saw the chaps assembling their iconic helmets. Ooh.
Yeah!
(Thanks Dragon!)
Just to clarify, they're not really movie teasers in the traditional sense. It's basically a case of, "Hey, we started making a lot of this stuff for the movie, but the movie got cancelled. May as well do something with it!" They're also probably trying to create buzz so Hollywood will bite at it, since the project is dead without a studio.
Sorry, I'm a nerd. I had to clarify. :)

The only thing that really lets it down is the bit at the end, where the marine is stood there when the purple shot hits next to him... Just looks a bit out of place after all the cool looking atmospheric stuff.
