They at least had better not join the Wilhelm Scream trendy bandwagon here-yes I am sure it will show up in both of the Hobbit films (as it did in all 3 LOTR movies-thank you PJ), temporarily upsetting my willing sense of disbelief in the process.

> I think the reason it’s not an _Alien_ film is because there’s no Xenomorph. Instead it appears to be exclusively about the Space Jockey.
