Just watched the Prometheus trailer for the millionth time and noticed a familiar shape in the background when the Prometheus' garage doors open... [img]http://www.avpgalaxy.net/gallery/albums/movies/prometheus/trailers/normal_20111222_teasertrailer06.jpg[/img] See for yourself, when the door lowers a familiar shape can be seen with two high walls on either side. After a tiny bit of searching I found the images of that familiar shape...

[img]http://www.avpgalaxy.net/gallery/albums/movies/prometheus/trailers/normal_20111222_teasertrailer15.jpg[/img] That leads to the tunnels...

if you take the frame after ...with the door more open ..you see a sort of rectangular shape under the "temple head" so yes are probably not rocks ...

The question remains however, what style of head is atop the temple? Human, Xeno or other?

Thats the one, looks like the temple dome is situated dead centre, probably surrounded by a circular wall from the definition seen in Frantz's image.

My Lord, if you'll excuse the expression, is that ever a beautiful structure. I would dearly love to see that conceptual artwork right there above me translated and converted and presented and inserted and on Dashin' and on Dixon Into The Film !!! HoHoHo !

If you scan the leaked trailer you will see the hanger scene showed more of the temple walls not to mention that leaping WTF that is reminiscent of the facehugger. ALIEN has been an addiction since 1985-86 and seems like I wont be able to kick the habit! OMG, summer 2012 is too far away! In my brain, no one can hear me scream!!!

there is a pretty compelling comparison to the shape of the structure in these vintage Giger paintings, and the shape of the terrain in the Prometheus trailer as the hatch of that vessel opens revealing the landscape it would be fantastic if in fact, Scott used that particular Giger painting as the basis for the Engineer's long lost citadel that was left and buried on Earth over time. i do hope that is the case here the MORE now classic Giger - - the BETTER.

Can anyone give my factual opinions... I believe we are the shells for the xenomorph species... It only makes sense.

Sorry to burst the enthusiasm guys but...... the "temple" painting, the large outside structure with the gun looking thing, was actually a piece of concept art for an unmade version of Dune that Giger was working on with O'Bannon before je wrote the original Alien script, i believe it was supposed to be Baron Harkonnen. I that film had been made it would have been great as i believe that as well as Giger that Dali was going to be involved as well.

I think you're right. The design for House Harkonnen, the floating fat man.
