I think the third guy in that seen, crouched next to the wheelchair bound "old bald guy" character is the character closest to the camera in the other scene with the "old bald guy" [img]http://www.avpgalaxy.net/gallery/albums/movies/prometheus/trailers/normal_20111222_teasertrailer28.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.avpgalaxy.net/gallery/albums/movies/prometheus/trailers/normal_20111222_teasertrailer23.jpg[/img] Would be easier to compare if someone could get a close up of the guy in question from both images above. Frantz, you up for it?

Four bets going now! LOL I think Frantz is in the lead. His guy has good stubble profile (which matches the unknown kneeling soldier), while my guy doesn't :( And snorkel, your guy has a teeny weeny bit more hair than army boy. Unless he shaves in the movie, your odds are blowing out! edit: [url=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1415490/]Embree[/url] is another great guess.

can be of course ...but one is so far away ..and in the other he have an extreme facial expression so is really hard to say ..biomechanic agree with you ... i will hold the judgement for a little more :p

my take is that [img]http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/2843/evidenceb.jpg[/img]

btw i dont want to influence anyway ..becuase its the worst we can do ..we risk to make errors ... anyway Bio i think you should do a new WHO AM I 2 ...with all the refined theories about who is who ..

Jockey2016 Only........."slightly more intelligent" ...........conversation about the franchise here compared to what I've seen on other forums. Thanks for the compliment........apprecriated!

Fascinating questions many have thought but with nothing known about what call the SJ/Pilot. We see what appears to be a star chart room, are absolutely sure that this is indeed where it is navigated? What's throwing me off is the fact that the alien ship in the teaser looks more mechanical than the original seen in ALIEN. I'm of the thought the ship itself is a bio-mech life form, but not so much after seeing the new vessel. Was the SJ fate mission a suicide bomber mission gone awry?

Let's just say, if the person in the seat wasn't familiar with what the engineering nanites were doing to their body, the infection/pregnancy would not be noticed until it was too late. I didn't say that the pilot was a natural born SJ. The ship's been on Archeron for a very long time, but that doesn't mean that the pilot in all actuallity was indigenous to the SHIPS origin world.

I was the one who posted that what sounds like the whipping sound of a Facehugger attacking can be heard during the playback of the signal the Nostromo plays back. Whether it is or not I would suggest listening to that signal before refuting the possibility off hand. It can be heard on the 2003 directors cut on DVD

@Snorkelbottom ~ I wasn't refuting what you said as false. I am saying if indeed the SJ was attacked by a facehugger and it was caught on the recording, then it did not come from the current seat the SJ is sitting in. The recording would have had to happen earlier while the SJ did not have its Bio-suit on. Correct?

Makes sense

So if the space jockey makes the recording, and during the recording gets attacked, and thus incapacitated, I assume they entered the seat/suit after this. Why would they do that?

Good question...thats why I asked. :) The transmission that was recorded came from that ship at sometime before the SJ got to the pilot chair. Assuming what we hear was a facehugger attack in the recording. Also after being embryoed how long does it take before bursting out of the chest. Seems from movie to movie that time differs. So for all we know after being attacked the SJ piloted the ship for another couple days. Now here is where you and another poster argued over the beacon being an SOS or a Warning. Like I said the SJ was attacked prior to taking the pilots seat and must have had his/her bio-suit off as well. And back to what i was saying regarding piloting the ship for at least a couple more days after the hugger attack. This leads me to believe the SJ sent an SOS out to lure beings to the craft to suffer his same fate. If the SJ would have had any compassion knowing his own fate, he would have found a way to crash the direlect ship to be sure no other being suffered the same feat as him. What do you think?

i will jump on the couch screaming " sparky get this !!! yeahhh " and i will watch the movie with popcorns , coke , spaghetti , beer , omelette with onions and free burps . Then i will start to spread absurd theories on the forum that will drive people far away from reality ...BUT a few hours before the movie i will send everyone a private message ( will be implemented huh ? ) with the real synopsis to destroy all the surprises ..

Frantz........ I like your style

I'd watch it without hesitation. But I wouldn't tell a soul!! Honest :D

I would watch it, then seed it on torrent sites lolololo joke, I would watch it and laught at you guys on the forums with your crazy xenomorphs images inside of fire :D

Releasing the disc to the pirating public wouldn't depend so much on whether I was holding something exclusive but rather what I thought of the film. If it was six minutes long with Scott and Giger behind a desk playing with sock puppets (without any kissing involved), it would be my civil duty to destroy any potential "quick buck" earnings that such an abomination could ever dream to fetch. Though I think it will be longer than six minutes, so in reality I would default to my usual course of action with any acquired high-expectation film; Retire to the basement, turn off the lights, and tell the gremlin to get the hell out before I barricade the door.

I agree ..it is nice to sit at home and drink ,smoke and fart and pause when ever u feel like it....rewind and re-watch a scene or whatever. I often wait for the dvd release instead of watching the movie at a cinema. With a monumental release like Prometheus I would definitely prefer to see it at a cinema...especially in 3d! The only movie I have seen in 3d is Avatar....I loved it...not just the 3d but also the movie...so much so that i watched it again in 3d a week later! I don't get people's hatred for Avatar...I thought it was great...not the best movie I ever saw...but certainly in the top 10!.....so why do so many people view it so negatively?

i didnt love much avatar ... i just dont like the overused cliches ... at the end i rooted for the military !! To make you like the "switch" of the character from one world to another it had to go much deeper ( a better try was made with dance with the wolves ) ... the new age things , stereotypes and the continue winks to a teen audience have irritated me ( like Jurassic Park 2 ). Of course it deserve to be view but honestly i watched it only one time . It lacks to me true sensibility , moral decisions , depth and the needed romanticism to be a great movie .

@ Frantz mmmmh...yeay I guess the story could have been a whole lot deeper...but I did not find it as shallow as some make it out to be...certainly not Cameron's best achievement...(not as good as Aliens)...it did offer tuns of excitement and amazing special effects...I suppose I was'nt really expecting much more?...besides the story and acting was'nt that bad! ...as far as 3d is concerned...at the time it was released it was by far the most amazing 3d out their...so the fact that Prometheus is gonna use post avatar 3d technology gets me very excited!

juxta, I will be at the first sceening of Prometheus, even at mid-night, and I have brided my wife-o to be with me to watch it .......she reakons she hates it, (too dark, neative) though she watched it with me last week on Blu-Ray...........can you believe this ......it's true .....my first date with my now wife was in China Town, Little Bourke St. Melbourne at a Chinese Restaurant in1979, where we had Beef in Black Bean Sauce and then we went to the pictures to see Alien at it's opening weekend!!!! I can still remember the scene where Ripley and Dallas are slowly searching the medical room after the face-hugger has disappeared from who-ever........and that bastard (though brilliant) Scott does the ulitmate scare..........he trips over a jerry can for no other reason.......than to scare the shit out of the whole auidence..........the whole fucking auduice screams and sreacres........and EVERYONE pops out of there seats........into the next........and that's how I found my dear lady wife! I love Alien I love Blade Runner I Love The Duellist I Love The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo And who has seen "Tree of Life".....and what do you think?

dont jack the movie and watch it in your living room... support Sir Ridley, get your arses out there and snag some tickets.. round up all the boys/girls and buy them tickets. I dunno about you but I hope it does well enough to grip Mr Scott into another film... Prometheus 2 (without Cameron ;-) and without turning it into a "popcorn" teenage attraction with poor follow up films. like ressurection or the avp crappolas)

I for one will be at the first screening of Prometheus, even at mid-night, and I have bribed my wife-o to come with me June the 8th .......she reckons she hates it, (too dark, negative and horrid, which I like) though she did watch it again with me last week on Blu-Ray and thought Ripley was great. Can you believe this ......it's true .....my first date with my now wife was in China Town, Little Bourke St. Melbourne at a Chinese Restaurant in1979, where we had Beef in Black Bean Sauce and then we went to the pictures to see Alien on it's opening night!!!! I can still remember the scene where Ripley and Dallas are slowly searching the medical room for the face-hugger after it had disappeared from Kane’s face........and that bastard (I say affectionately) Scott does the ultimate scare..........he has a jerry can fall over for no reason.......other than to scare the shit out of the whole audience..........the whole fucking theatre screams and screeches........and EVERYONE lifts out of their seats in shock........into the next.....that was heart attack material.....suspense plus..... my missus ended up in my lap despite the arm rest between us ...and that's how I found my dear lady wife!........and she’s never forgiven me! Scott’s best films IMO are Alien, Blade Runner and The Duellists

This is a difficult scene to judge. It could be on the SJ spacecraft. We know those ships are huge and the only part of it that we've ever really seen is the main cockpit, but I'm with you and think it's in some temple. I think the corpse is the suit. If it's an actual body, we then have a decapitation and that doesn't sit right with me. To me an Engineer wearing the suit walked into the room, took off his helmet and set it down, climbed out of the suit, and left it laying where he got out of it. They must not have hangars in SJ land. Purpose of the suit - I think the suit it mutifunctional. 1) It's an environment suit. When your running around teraforming planets you are going to run into a wide variety of atmospheres. No matter how "tough" the engineers are, they are going to run into environments that are inhospitable. 2) It's a biohazard suit. We are pretty sure that the Engineers like to play with organic goo and make stuff. The suit could be engineered to be organically neutral and allow then to handle the goo safely. 3) Weapon/Computer system/augmentation. Perhaps it has additional abilities such as increasing strength, adding a tactical display in the helment, and computer functions? IMO they wear the suit for a reason, not just because it looks cool!

I agree with Jeff that I think this scene takes place within the temple, that can be seen in the trailer. I also agree that I think it is a bio-mechanical suit that is lying there in the scene, but I don't think the Jockey in question left the suit behind. IMO the Jockey, for reasons unknown, removed his helmet and for some reason died, where the suit now lays. But I believe that this happened a long time ago, and its body has since decomposed causing its skull to roll away from the rest of its body still held within the suit.

@Jeff & Snorkelbottom I would agree about what you think about the Space Jockey suit. Was thinking also? We can see that the head/ helmet is not on the body. What about if the Jockey was killed or died and the reason for examining/ scanning the head is because inside is still another skull??? I know there are loads of ideas about how this suit! But could it be a possibility do we think?

I like the idea about the crew of the Prometheus finding the SJ's world and after meeting them discover their sinister and/or malevolent nature. I have also read where Ridley Scott stated that the Space Jockies do very "perverse" things in the movie. My bet is they capture and study/torment the Prometheus crew.........The crew retaliates and the SJ decide mankind is too savage........

@Sherlock I know what your mean. Showing them heading out to space, come across the temple and what not and then all of a sudden ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE and they realise they are messing with the wrong people. Can't wait!!!!

[i]The crew retaliates and the SJ decide mankind is too savage........[/i] Or maybe the SJ decides we are too much of a threat? SJ creates humanity for some unknown reason, but more or less thinks of us as cattle. Except these cattle fight back, and have developed pretty lethal technology of our own. What's more lethal.. A xeno or a marine with a pulse rifle, flame thrower, and grenade launcher? Take that a step further.. Tactical nuke. Add to that a population of many billions..

In all honesty not to quell anyone's enthusiasm, but just give it some thought. In just over two hundred years we've advanced so far beyond calvary and canons a conflict between our current military and even that of a century ago would be a hands down fiasco. Do you really think that if you extended the evolution of your enemy over a million years into the future that any of your weapons would be useful? A hive of unarmed xenomorphs all but took out a battalion of state of the art combat troops over a century after the events in Prometheus took place. The explosion of the atmospheric processors in Hadley's Hope dealt with them. Ultimately though a few little eggs took care of the Sulaco and the rest of the survivors. This franchise has a track record of taking any gung ho attitude and just crushing it, end of the line. It's usually a case of the person who maintains their calm, and thinks get's through it, until the sequel. As for the fate of this suit. Combining technology with decapitation is merging both the high tech with the primative. I'd hate to think that if the suit has sensor feeds and enhancements for the wearer that he simply didn't see "IT" coming. That's if he was decapitated and didn't merely succomb to something and decay resulting in the head seperating from the body. Hopefully the examination of the skull can give the expedition some clues as to what might have happened. Anoxia will take most organisms out pretty rapidly. If the SJ is similar to a xenomorph though that would not be the case. So as a slice of time, that scene leaves you with as many questions as it does the characters in the film.

I agree with Ghost Solitaire. That´s why I never liked the idea that the Xenomorphs are weapons. Because if this what they are, it speaks volumes about the Engineers _ and what it speaks is not good. See, I have just seen Aliens again last night. What happens in Alien is plausible because Nostromo was a commercial ship and it´s crew lacked appropriate equipment and training. But what happens with the "marines" in Aliens is pathetic EVEN to the standards of actual XXI century marines. Realize that: today, we have robotic drones, flying and crawling, that can do a lot of lethal tricks. But in Aliens, mankind, for some reason, master the art of artificial intelligence but hasn´t the imagination to put robots to do the dirt job. This is totally unaceptable. That´s why the "Xenomorph as weapon" is really a joke. I bet that even today if we were bombed with xeno´s eggs mankind would have a non-zero probability of defeating them (ok, I concede that if the xenos could be able to infest the rest of Earth biosphere _ as Alien 3 strongly suggests _ that would be hell). Besides that: if mankind mastered AI, we should be a post-singularity civilization when we encounter the Engineers. I can´t imagine that the Engineers realizations in the field of biology would be so esotherical to such an human civilization. So: suspension of disbelief is the essence of modern cinematography. But it seems to me that "Prometheus" will close the "Alien" franchise cycle displaying a lack of imagination. Notwithstanding that, I will surely love the movie.

yeah at first i felt that it was obviously an infestation...i mean we clearly see a dead jockey who was killed by the alien and the ship became infested with eggs... then there is the idea that they are weapons and that perhaps they got out of control ...the thin blue laser layer supports this..if it was an infestation and all those eggs were planted by the aliens then why would there be that layer of light over the eggs...they seem to be being contained..maybe the space jockeys were doing research on the aliens and werent exactly using them as weapons and then the xenomorphs got out of control and killed the crew and the rest fled..leaving the contained eggs behind

I think that Space Jockeys there isn't there anymore. Maybe only the space suits still there and the alien DNA infect the humans of prometheus ship. This infection change human DNA and tranform them in a taller humanoid that are showing in the trailer ( with space jockey DNA ? I dont know). But there aren' t one alien DNA. There are many tipes of alien DNA (the space jockey are gods of creation). Then one alien DNA is that of alien franchiese. This dna infected man too and tranform them in one agressive being. The human that are tranformed kill others of tripulation and the only survivors are naomi (maybe there are others) and the taller humanoids. The taller humanoids help the god humans against the bad humans. The space jockey that is show in alien (the first film) maybe is a human transformed by the alien DNA with space suit. I don't know. I don't know This is only a idea . I'm sorry with I make mistakes to wrote this. I'm from another country and my english is not so god.

Good question, I suppose some of it depends on the eventual rating given to the film. Apparently, there is to be two cuts but the suits will no doubt opt for the PG13 cut. A PG13 Alien movie??? Is that even possible??? Given that 20CF have moved it from a spring to summer release, they're expecting big things and therefore the Superbowl will be fitting. However, me being stuck in the UK, I still have to wait for the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) to rate even the first trailer let alone the next extended one. But I do want to go see even just the trailer in IMAX 3D - love the trailer.

I read it also...because I wrote it. The "David turning into a human thing" was my trying to reconcile the supposed shot from the Comic-Con sizzle reel where David cuts his finger and bleeds "human" blood, and another shot where he's apparently "crying" (is it in Fassbender's contract that he has to do that in every film he's in?)...I figured that the androids of the Alien universe seemed partially organic, and I was trying to play up the "Birth of Man/2001" angle...but yeah, you're right, it probably doesn't make a lot of sense. But obviously, it's fan-fic...some schmuck(s) ripped it off from my original post, and posted it elsewhere claiming it was the real thing...despite my very CLEAR disclaimer pointing out that it was in fact fan fic. It's since gone viral. Go figure.

lolwell nice work ...it was verydecent....but the worm hole time travel to ancient earth pissed me off. but still pretty good if you actually did make it
