The Mysterious Figure?

mmmm ... can be that the guy that is hit by the "acid/goo" ( halloway ) slowly trasform himself in a monster/Sj/mutant ? that would explain the other shoot ( with him on a weelchair ) and him thinking desperate on the bed near noomi

yip...i agree...at least close up he does seem a bit more...scary ominous or whatever....tho their is some serious detail on his back ....looks like a bi o-mechanical type of spacesuit he is wearing....still he is a bit 2 humanoid for my liking.....will see in 5 and a half months from now......omg it's gonna drive me nuts!

With all this talk of the humanoid space jockey everyone seems to have forgotten about the huge human head thing in the ampule room.

Guys, go to itunes and watch the trailer in 1080p. Stop at 0:44. You can clearly see the "creature" which I bet my balls is the infamous SP. Why I am so sure? Compare the size of the thing with the scale of the chair, and how is relative to humans, in ALIEN. They had to climb the chair to get to the top. So this, I am afraid, is what the SJ's look like. Even the suit matches the lines on the arm that go with the chair... This could be also matched with the fact that the giant head could be indeed just a representation of that race, which is human-like. That would sort of explain too how is that these aliens terraformed and created the human race, off their own bio-engineering. A bit disappointed to me though, I loved the Giger design better without being just a "suit". :(

I've got it - just watching Sherlock Holmes on Sky. The tall bald guy is the huge French dude with the axe that Holmes and Watson have a great deal of trouble taking down. Same dude. So, Prometheus has as much in common with Sherlock Holmes as it does Alien :-)

Humanoid space jockeys would certainly be unexpected, that's for sure. It's probably about the[i] last[/i] thing I would have thought of. Whether or not it works will depend on just how creepy/terrifying they and their technology turn out to be, I suppose.....but the idea that monsters created us, definitely has a certain twisted appeal.

Also remember that this movie is themed with the origin of man, Scott refers them to as "gods" several times so it would be no surprise if the Jockey race created us in their own image. Things can be changed all the time, and I have no problem with that. Take Alien as en example. Did you know? The original title was "Star Beast". The original name for the spaceship was Snark. This was later changed to Leviathan before they finally settled for Nostromo. According to Ridley Scott in the DVD commentary, he had envisioned a moment in the ending scenes of Ripley and the alien in the space shuttle in which the alien would be sexually aroused by Ripley. Scott says that in the scene, after Ripley hides in the closet, the alien would find her and would be staring at her through the glass door. The alien would then start touching itself as if comparing its body to Ripley's. The idea was eventually scrapped. Ridley Scott reportedly said that originally he wanted a much darker ending. He planned on having the alien bite off Ripley's head in the escape shuttle, sit in her chair, and then start speaking with her voice in a message to Earth. Apparently, 20th Century Fox wasn't too pleased with such a dark ending. Share this ---- Some of my favorite Alien trivia bits. So what if the jockey is humanoid? It is an established fact that it was inside a suit. Even LOOK at the original painting by hr giger and you can see that the alleged "trunk" is actually a breathing tube fused to the skull, and that a small glass helmet surrounds the head. http://www.blogodisea.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/alien-space-jockey-hr-giger.jpg The jockey is wearing a suit, so what is underneath is completely up to Scott now. I have 100% faith that this movie will be amazing, and I am simply flattered that they decided to show us the Jockey...if that even is him.

This is a tough call. I am not sure what to say since we have seen the decapitated head in two pictures. The first in the incubation chamber where Shaw and David are examining it and possibly running tests and then there is the still from entertainment weekly where Noomi and Katie are holding on to the head in the ampule room. I hope that if this neanderthal is going to be an engineer that the space jockey suit is a sentient itself. Thats what I got. I am sure whatever it is Ridley will make this something that makes sense and this is going to be a fabulous movie like something we have never seen.

Have a look at his hands, guys. He only has 4 fingers...No matter what he is, he can't be human or a crew member.

btw to me is him ...maybe halloway that become slowly a space jockey ...but are too similar ...near to him fassbender and maybe guy pearce . [img]http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/112/interestingone.jpg[/img]

Slenderman. Nuff said.

I have it! It's Lord Voldemort in a space suit! 'In Hogwarts everyone can hear you scream'

Can anyone make out who this is? It looks like David: [url=http://i.imgur.com/wcdKC.png]http://i.imgur.com/wcdKC.png[/url] [img]http://i.imgur.com/wcdKC.png[/img]

seems like he is controlling the map by moving his arms

Yeah he is, I'll make a gif later. So much speculation, not enough clues haha.

It's Fassbender. For sure.

OK since I can't post a picture, I'll just tell you guys what I think. I'm pretty good at placing things together with very little info. First, look at the picture of the ampule room where they are looking at the head, near the dead body. Increase the size of the dead body, and pay particular attention to the hips and chest of the dead body. Next, put it next to one of the pictures of the humanoid in the map/chair room, and rotate it so that it looks like it's standing. Again, pay attention to the hips and chest. From what I can see, it looks like the 2 are the same species. Those hips and the chest (look at all similar to the original in Alien? Without a hole in it?) I think it does. Now, look at the star chart picture. The person in the center of it is smaller than the humanoid. You can tell by looking at the 2 doorways either side of the star chart bit, then look at the humanoid when the chair is coming up. The humanoid is as big as if not bigger than those doors. The person in the middle of the star chart is TINY compared to that guy. Again, the doors are what you should use for size reference. Third: the mutant looking guy that's leaping off the vehicle at the other crew member? Look at the 3 people in the medical room when the woman comes in and falls to her knees. The guy kneeling to the right of the guy in the wheelchair has a mohawk-style haircut. So does the guy leaping off the vehicle. So, if that's Holloway, which by the way I personally don't think it is but rather another member of the crew, then it must take awhile for him to start changing..... I think that the humanoid is in fact the Space Jockey. But, has anyone ever thought that there may be ANOTHER alien race that the Space Jockeys themselves report to? ie, the "Higher "Power" Scott has referenced a few times now? I think we haven't seen those beings yet, and I'm starting to become convinced that there is in fact another race involved here somewhere. Just from my own Batman-ing of everything I've seen/read/heard. Who knows, I might be completely wrong this time...... But past experience has shown me that I'm not too shabby at picking stuff like this in movies...... First time I saw The Empire Strikes Back, I was about 7 or 8, and I turned to my Dad who was watching it with me in case I got scared and said about half way through, just before the scene with the cave fight between Luke and Vader, "Dad, is Darth Vader Luke's Daddy?" You should have seen the look on his face. I'll never forget it, and was really proud of myself for having been right...... There are other examples, but too many to list here. Pisses people off when I do it too, and get it right. No-one wants to talk to me about upcoming movies because I usually get it right about the plots and such...... Just my 2 cents :-D
