MemberOvomorph11/30/2011Well, it would appear in a high res official photo posted over Promethues News would reveal more than thought, perhaps?

First, our two female characters are touching and looking to what appears to be an iconic Egg...pan right and there you will see on his side, legs, torso and chest visible, a Jockey who got careless with the egg possibly? Take a look friends and lets hash it out...

MemberOvomorph11/30/2011I know...they show more this time like that one photo of the Egg and deader than life jockey perhaps, not a prequel huh? lol

MemberOvomorph11/30/2011Lmao, after seeing that egg, I think of Tom "wiseass" Rothman saying its not a prequel. What a Greedy douche.

Mr.J
MemberOvomorph11/30/2011I know..it is like holding you finger in the hole of a dam that is leaking and cracking, there is no point, the dam is going to break just get out of the way and let it go...

Mr.J
MemberOvomorph11/30/2011and that's an EGG, there is no argument about that...neither the Dead Creature on the right of the frame is a space jockey that careless..so this tells us, there are eggs and urns...

MemberOvomorph12/1/2011I think it looks more like a helmet aswell.
The way the light reflects on it make it seem like its very tramslucent.
Could be an egg in progress, or culd be an empty egg breaking down.
Maybe they see traces of weird happenings in an empty helmet?

MemberOvomorph12/1/2011I think we can see the back of the space jockey's head or space helmet.

MemberOvomorph12/1/2011Look at that boddddy on the right, so most definatly that is a jocky that was beheaded

MemberOvomorph12/1/2011What if the space jockeys are a race dead from centuries ( and that explain the dead body here and in alien ) and the crew have to deal with the "cause" that now can menace earth too ?
plus that photo remove any kind of credibility of every fake plot we had to read..no one did talk of a dead space jockey at the entrance of the cave ( something so important that would have be written in a plot since its the first enconter with them )

Neurion
Veteran MemberMemberOvomorph12/1/2011Hey Guys,
I’m pretty sure I remember reading both Ridley Scott and HR Giger discussing the possibility of the Space Jockey body or form being a kind of biomechanical suit…or outer shell…for a host being that resides within. I suppose that this would be sort of like the case in “Independence Day”, and more recently “Cowboys and Aliens.” So, this SJ carcass…and the possibly severed or discarded head/helmet object, could be just a previously shed exoskeleton or bio-suit. If this is true…there could be at least one physically smaller SJ creature cruising around this Ampoule Room…depending on how long this SJ body has been laying there. Whatever the case may be…I think that this SJ corpse or cadaver…or whatever it is…is just the tip of this mysterious iceberg. Whatta ya think folks?

MemberOvomorph12/1/2011i think your right Neurion, i doubt ridley would allow a picture of the actually new creature to be seen in a promotional pic... I think the space jockey we are familiar with is a space suit for something else!!!
(You can also see someone else standing at the very right of the pic, you can mainly see the bag there carrying, probably Logan Marshall Green)

MemberOvomorph12/1/2011Juts my opinion but I believe it is NOT an egg but rather what they are referring to as an ampule, and although it looks like an Egg because it is oval shaped and transparent what that is, what is actually being Investigated in that pic, is one of the "urns", and as per the earlier leaked plot synopsis that looks more and more real each day that goes by and with each new bit of info we receive...in which...David discovers that they contain the genetic material for thousands of species within a viscous liquid called BIOFORMER which can rewrite any living organism on a cellular level. Basically, possession of the substance gives its owner the power to create life.
It appears to be a green like liquid goo and it is present inside each and every one of the ampules.

Spartacus
MemberOvomorph12/1/2011As for the body it looks 100% like a keeled over and either dead or injured "Engineer" or "Grower" if you will.
Simply a Guardian of that Ampule Room.
As a "long shot" I'd go as far as to say perhaps, if not a "Grower", from another species we haven't seen yet or been made aware of that is all the same, a simple guardian of the Ampule Room/area.

Scot
MemberOvomorph12/1/2011Looking at the pic of the egg it looks more like a head with the two eyes on each side without the nose/hose in front like it got ripped off when it was beheaded or maybe you guys are right and that its just an old egg that opened up and decayed.

Frantz
MemberOvomorph12/1/2011yup ..sometimes i see the "eyebrows" ...some others it really look as an egg ...
btw dear Ridley Scott " someone will see some traces of Alien DNA ..expecially in the last 8 minutes " my axx !!!!! Everything here is impregnated with alien DNA !!!! Maybe a different story ok ... and not a prequel ok ... but i dont think we must be geeks to see "some Alien DNA" in this movie !! And i dont think all the things we see are from the last 8 minutes !!!

MemberOvomorph12/1/2011Ok, time to come out of retirement and comment. I'm leaning toward head/helmet - the back of the head/helmet specifically. The larger black shadowy hole closer to the right looks like it would connect to the body/suit. The small black hole on the far left of the head/helmet might be the auditory opening. I compared this pic to one of the stills from Alien (where Dallas is standing on the chair/platform looking down on the head of the SJ -where the face is well lit). Another two cent thought to add to the mix: Am I the only one who is going to be a bit disappointed if the SJ we know and love turns out to be a suit? OH, it just occurred to me...there was a clip posted earlier of something sinuous and moist exiting a small hole or orifice... could it be a SJ we are seeing in that clip, not one of the xenos?

MemberOvomorph12/4/2011My own take on this preview shot is that we are seeing the 2 females shining the torch on the severed 'Spacejockey's' head, which is facing towards us, although we are only seeing the TOP HALF of it...due to the rest of it being somewhat hidden by the 'dip' in the set that it and the 2 females are positioned in.
[i]I reckon the 2 dark areas I've pointed to here in the link below, are the 'shadowed' eyesockets of the head, which are similarly 'shadowed' in the eyesockets of the giant head behind -[/i] http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/8918/ewprompics1.jpg

MemberOvomorph12/5/2011Defenitely the SJ head or helmet you can determine the shape. If it's an egg who is laying the egg. This thing is not suppost to be Alien driven until the last 8 minutes. So no xenos or eggs till very late in the movie and by then you would expect most of the crew to be history.

Theusprom
MemberOvomorph12/8/2011I'm going with the theory that it is a statue.
With all the secrecy surrounding this movie, there is absolutely no way they are going to reveal a creature in a still.Don't forget these pics are strategic and are designed to make us think more.
Anyway, the size is all wrong to be a Jockey.

MemberOvomorph12/8/2011I love the look of set and the dark gritty feel to it.

MemberOvomorph12/10/2011I believe the torso has been put in the pic as a curve ball and plays no part in the movie at all...............

MemberOvomorph12/20/2011lol spartacus, where'd you get the bioformer theory from? it's not bad.

MemberOvomorph01/16/2012In the teaser trailer they somewhat
took something back to their ship
on a scan table whick looks like
A skull of the jockey. But like ridley
stated, the space jockey we know
is actually a biomechanic suit.
the question is, who or what is
inside? Could it be much smaller?
and who knows how intelligent
the aliens are supposed to be.
remember, the aliem in the original
movie was only a day old.
