"Right" ! [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/LT.HIGHTIMES/1a1bret.gif[/img]

now u can actually see the head....glad they changed it!....wonder if they might come up with more alternative posters?

What of a 'widescreen' one to fit on those big roadside posters - what do you call them? There'll be more poster promotional material no doubt. This is slow, drip-feed pleasure.

billboards

WOW not bad at all. the temperature for this is building

Much more defined than U.S. poster. You can see more of the head which now resembles the mysterious figure standing at the far right of the Space Jockey bridge in the teaser trailer.

Could the stone head be a nod to Rodin's The Thinker?

could also be a nod to dark city ?

(reposting from another thread) ahhh...! such a cool and great image! like they cleaned it up a bit to reveal all the Giger-esque detail on the walls in the back round. really diggin' this! still giving me a young "Liam Neeson" vibe. ha! okay, i'm gonna nitpick here a bit.... in the one of those mini-teaser trailers that were released a while back, there is an all too brief shot of Shaw turning her face away from what seems to be pressurized air / steam being released from an opening she seemed to have discovered at the base of some structure (perhaps this head) she was cowering down a bit from the unexpected release of said air / steam now, if you look towards the right facing area of this poster, you can make out what appears to be a disc-like object, like the door that i saw in the teaser trailer, that when opened, released that pressurized air it's quite subtle in this poster, am i alone is guessing this is yet another hidden clue to some of the plot of PROMETHEUS? i think i am on to something....either that, or i am reading too much into ANYTHING and EVERYTHING image related to this film thoughts..... GREAT image Bughunter! thanks for posting this...

also, you may notice, Shaw may have a lantern, but that light source in the poster is emanating FROM the head, rather than the lantern projecting that entire illumination nitpicking i know...

Has anyone come up with a conclusion as to why "David" is shown in the poster?

Good question. *scratches my head*

I am hoping it's this dude right here [img]http://images.wikia.com/lovecraft/images/1/1b/Kraken-cthulhu.jpg[/img]

Also a nice relative of his... [img]http://www.pathguy.com/cthulhu6_s.jpg[/img]

Space Jockeys gone genetically wrong... [img]http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RNrl2Gr0VwI/Sooj2Hq6a8I/AAAAAAAABVA/5d7PwAPfM7g/s400/bag+of+cthulhu+repaint.jpg[/img]

No Giger, Got Lovecraft [img]http://www.summeroflovecraft.com/images/Cthulhu-4.jpg[/img]

Engineer/Jockey DNA mutated humans. possibly a proto xeno offspring from shaw. Perhaps the white parasite we saw on another leaked trailer somewhere on here. My guess is that David gets infected by jockey DNA, rapes shaw, he continues to mutate into Jockey pilot blue guy, shaw gives birth, half transforming herself into something only vaguely human, to white parasite creature. parasite creature slithers away and hides out near pilot chambers. now transformed david walks into chamber to join up with Jockey chair, parasite attacks. xeno's him up, he wakes up and cant remember what happened so continues into jockey chair where he will later chestbursts the progenitor to xeno we know. shaw and liz, with some of david's mutant qualities, strength, speed etc, sabotage ship and escape, perhaps have battle, robo vs mutant xeno woman to determine if evil tech gets back to earth. or That group of mercs or rival company(yutani) get there ahead of them and get Jock DNA'd up into skeletal monsters that attack crew 28 mins into movie, lol

mosst of those creatures look like the 'OOD' from the new Dr Who

@perfectorgansim2 Your ideas are wild & intriguing but lay off that coffee for a while

just adding to the speculation, dude This is going to be a movie for an entirely different generation than the alien lovers we know. The Company(fox) are involved, and Damon Lindelof, who is hugely influenced b Stephen King, who writes for mass audience, lol, not a select few like us. I don't even think he's actually written any scripts for a film before. IMO, they should have got Abrams to write it. He didn't do a bad job with the star trek reboot. I know that synopsis sounds more like Cameron than Ridley, but this isn't 1979, unfortunately, and this movie has to be for a completely different audience, to fans of the original, whilst trying to get the hardcore fans attention too. I don't want it to be so, but I think a lot is going to be sacrificed in order to bring in younger and mainstream audiences. I really hope the Riddler can prove me wrong

Yep, that's Cthulhu. “Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn.”

bless you

er Snork, you're the Joker, lol I think the Jim Carrey Riddler was far better than Heath Ledgers Joker, lol Just kidding, I have taste

Heath Ledger was the best Joker EVER, period. Jim Carrey was a good riddler tho, they kinda copied him in the new batman games

Yep. love em Jack Nicholson didnt do a bad job back then either, but Heath is definitely the best. I hope the new batman can top the villain, have my doubts though, lol He was just born for that role

As long as it isn't a jar jar binks look a like I don't mind what the threat is as long as it gives people really bad nightmares.

Guys, Lets get back on topic. I think there is something behind the scenes manipulating the Engineers thus bringing about the xeno's. This was briefly covered in another thread can't remember which one. Anyways, I would consider something higher up the food chain than an Jockey/Engineer really scary. Regards, Rick

no, the more intelligent, the less scary. it needs to be animalistic and completely deaf to reason. super intelligent dude=someone you can talk to and reason with. not scary.

how about a mixture of the thing, with the mentality of the archetecht of the matrix.

I think they're running security for the mission during a time when Weyland doesn't have a weapons division of their own. See how uncreative I can be? LOL!

Well, you never know. You don't see much of them in the trailer though so there's not much to go on. It killing me to find out though. for every possibility that occurs, there's another hundred waiting to spring out at you, lol. I do love the suspense Ridley has built here. In some respect he is a true genius, lol.

I think they use exactly the same spacesuit than the rest of the crew. So they must be in the same team. If the "Prometheus" mission is a cover mission, but is also a very "big" thing, it´s comprehensible that the firm send some security in _ to protect but also to guarantee that nobody starts to have funny ideas like to try to sell the discoveries to rival firms.

actually we see them ...the 2 with pistols firing are quite surely mercenaries ...

nice. a theory thread that isn't retarded. that totally makes sense. though it's possible they might be pmc type running security detail. scott liked exploring how current events might translate to the future. pmc certainly will have a place in the future when warfare possibly becomes totally corporate.

You can't beat the Alien 3 soundtrack. Aliens was good. Frizzel's...not really. To me it sounded too over dramatic, which, with the way the movie turned out, pushed the whole endeavor over the edge. (Leading the franchise further down the toilet and into things like AVPR). But the Alien 3 soundtrack was brooding during times, and then was utterly chaotic, and then launched into a real honest to god classical score. To date (at least in terms of sci-fi music scores) it is one of the best I've ever heard. I think it's only out maneuvered by the sheer insanity of 2001's score. IMHO. Hate me if you like.

I think just like each director from each one of the films achieved their own unique style, so did the composers. Jerry Goldsmith's style was dark, dissonant and angelic. James Honer's score was done in almost a mere 10 days but he was able to achieve some of the greatest music in the series with those 10 days. Very militaristic and heart pounding. It was intense and on a more action driven plane than Goldsmith's very slow yet dark and terrifying score. Elliot Goldenthal's score was just incredibly powerful and deep. Many argue Goldenthal achieved the best score in the series. It was emotional and violent yet deep with its approach. John Frizzell's score was very creepy and erotic just like much of the film itself. It was dark and melodic yet intense and fast-paced. It was almost inspiring with the input of the choir leading into "Ripley's Theme". He gave Ripley her own theme in the series and a very powerful one yes. I loved every score because they followed the directors vision and created something very different for each film. I appreciate and love all of them.

each score was unique to the genre they were going for. alien and alien 3 were more of the creep up terror that was made for the gothic horror. aliens was an action packed combat movie and the score represented that. im still a little more sided with alien's score though. it made you feel more claustrophobic.

The Paris Event I got but it seemed to easy to be an Egg, never the less it is one and I was wrong, I learned just now that nothing small should be written off as insignificant without thinking long and hard about it first. I will try on that last one and get back to ya!!! Tx.

dont forget the 500 years comment as well, what does it mean?

Cool art!
