MemberOvomorph01/2/2012Got this from another site.
In the original leaked trailer there was a glimpse of a creature (this didn't appear in the official trailer).
Somebody over at AvP Galaxy has made a GIF and here it is.

MemberOvomorph01/2/2012You guys are right on with that I agree, even the last part, could be it never looks ANYTHING AT ALL like a Xenomorph or is something else all together and I agree until we see it it is all speculation BUT I am going with probabilities here and in the teaser trailer there is that line Ridley says that I cannot get out of my head...
"Little Things Doing Great Big Things"!
or something like that anyways, I posted it somewhere for ya!!!

MemberOvomorph01/2/2012I think the idea of the slow transformation of the classic Alien throughout the movie and in front of ours faces would make for brilliant viewing.

MemberTrilobite01/2/2012"Little Things Doing Great Big Things"
Such as what i posted about a creature evolving during the course of the movie from a basic life form into the tall guy at the end.
But that said, it is such a cryptic statement it could mean anything, which is why Ridley said it.

Spartacus
MemberOvomorph01/2/2012That, I really really like, the idea of a slow transformation....sorry for posting my comment so fast but "I am here, I am here, I am here, I am heeeeeere"....{spoken like "The Who's" in "Horton Hears a Who"}

MemberOvomorph01/2/2012wow read this one again you guys that I posted yesterday I think it puts to rest what Ridley has in mind regarding my idea about this all being about Terraforming and making a bio-mechanical weapon but I W E L C O M E-W I T H-O P E N-A R M S any thoughts and twists and other slants on itor things you want to throw at me regarding it...
Ridley Scott:
"I think the Space Jockey is actually the pilot, and he’s part of this military operation – if that’s the word you can apply to his world, and therefore this is probably some kind of carrier, a weapon carrier, a biological or biomechanoid carrier of lethal eggs, inside of which are these small creatures which will actually fundamentally integrate in a very aggressive way into any society or any place they’re dropped."
–Commentary from Alien DVD of Quadrilogy Set (2003)

MemberOvomorph01/2/2012and also, didn't Biomechanic already suggest it was spring loaded thingy for his contraption he designed that represents what that was ???????????????
You must remember that SNORKY...right...?...
Could it be possible come to think of that now that this isn't a living thing per se but rather a mechanism as he suggested?

Just, as with anything regarding Prometheus is open to interpretation. It even supports the theory i posted [url=http://www.prometheus-movie.com/community/forums/topic/913]Here[/url].
Regards BM's diagram of the thing in the urn possibly having a spring loaded tail doesn't make sense to me, as their doesn't seem to be enough room within the ampules for such a coiled tail.

DinosaurRaghhh
MemberOvomorph01/2/2012Perhaps what is seen in this GIP is as Scott has stated "the alien will be reenvisioned as a progenitor of the received form of the Xenomorph". I'm wandering if anyone could get a longer clip of the creature jumping from the original leaked trailer???

Frantz
MemberOvomorph01/2/2012i think was more something like "things that appear to be insignificant ( at the start of the movie ) will become enormous at the end "

Rick
MemberXenomorph01/2/2012Its really hard to see. During the entire gif it over lays the big head as you can see the nose and that is followed by the ship crashing at the very end. To me it looks more like a partially submerged baby xeno. Being that they are born white, have a smooth domed head, and only turn black as they age. This theory works for me.

Rick
MemberXenomorph01/2/2012The only thing that sticks out weird to me is the dolphin style blowhole at the top (or actually facing you) when you watch the GIF.
It could also be the CGI Base of the Derelict crashing. Since there is a bit of overlay at the end ofthe GIF

artyoh
MemberOvomorph01/2/2012There's a shot of people in the vehicle "hanger" using flamethrowers. They could be simply testing them, but I wonder if they might be using fire to rid themselves of some kind of small, but troublesome, parasitic vermin indigenous to the planet/moon where they landed.....something which they don't want infesting the ship....something that might come into accidental contact with green morphing-goo when the humans inadvertently provide access for them upon entering the "temple"......maybe the squirmy object that's visible in that clip.....something that seems small and insignificant, but ends up being neither. :p

Rick
MemberXenomorph01/2/2012That image is a dolphin or porpoise type animal diving in time lapse video. You an see the blow hole, followed by a small dorsal fin at the end. LOL Could it be from dolphin tale?

Thank you Frantz, Yes, that is exactly what it was.
Here's the exact quotes of his on the 3 Teasers.
Yours is the Last one on the list Frantz, again Thanks man.
From The 3rd Teaser Trailer
#1-"The surprise is in the story"
#2-"It's All About Everything"
#3-"I come form the All About Everything school, so simply thinking, of some good dialogue and there fore terrific actors.
From The 2nd Teaser Trailer
#1-"The cast finds an establishment which is not what they expected it to be"
#2-"What we do find, Dangerous elements that are capable of eviscerating all of them in a heart beat."
From The First Teaser Trailer
#1-"So here we are, I'm back again."
#2-"It's Epic."
#3- "Not just by definition of the scale set".
[b]#4-"It's about the very grand idea, of notions, The surprising things that appear to be small, yet, will be enormous."[/b]

Rick
MemberXenomorph01/2/2012LOL Sparky,
Its hidden in #2, #2. Dangerous Elements capable of EVISCERATING all of them in a heart beat. If you think of the definition of that word it means to remove someones entrails or completely gutting someone. Think about it for a second that is really fricken harsh, and what do we know that is that harsh? Only one thing I can think of and thats my PET.

MemberOvomorph01/3/2012Alright. My two bits. A bit of interpreting evidence, a bit of rational thought and a bit of playing with ideas.
To begin with I think the GIF quality is terrible and it makes me side with Juxtapose´s earlier comment:
[quote]...is it just me that can't see the serpent?....I see a white thing with the word..."CARD" on it?...and that's about it....[/quote]
However somebody on the forum (thanks!) had posted this link:[url=http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc389/bongobat/Fun%20on%20the%20Internet/?action=view¤t=10percent.mp4]Slow motion footage[/url] At the 2:03 mark you will see a bit better quality (more frames, sharper, brighter). Still terrible quality but an improvement.
[b]
Okay. just the facts/evidence first (light interpretation on what is visible)[/b]
Now looking at this version I think it could be the opened sarcophagus (read on why I think it could be) in the SJ chair room. The solid metallic top becoming like plastic or cloth sheet and flowing/pulling to the side like a curtain. Vapour and light ensues. This is the evidence my eyes see and mind interpret. No story behind it that I want to verify.
[b]
Then some rational thought/connecting the dots:(heavy interpretation with help of other footage)[/b]
Looking at picture from [url=http://www.avpgalaxy.net/alien-movies/prometheus/teaser-trailer-analysis/]AVP Galaxy[/url] trailer analysis below the sarcophagus on the left has opened:
[img]http://www.avpgalaxy.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/engineer1.jpg[/img]
It seems to have the top cover missing that we see on the sarcophagus on the right. My first thought was that where has the cover been placed ?But seeing the footage tells me that it has not been raised off but it was pulled to the side like a thin cloth. And I think we can be pretty confident it is a sarcophagus as there is the window on the right and space for arms on the side (see pic below). Also the movie seems to be referencing Egyptian artefacts (the ampules and the giant head) so makes sense.
[img]http://www.avpgalaxy.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/engineer4.jpg[/img]
[b]Then some playing with ideas (no need to take seriously)[/b]
Something/somebody might come out/go in but the scene stops before it. Could be one of the infected Magellan/Prometheus crew going in to get final transformations done. Could be the tall guy getting out that was there just waiting to get out and active. There is total of 3-4 sarcophagus (the 4th looks different from the other 3). IF the sarcophagus are found in the SJ space craft then the craft needs crew of 3-4 to do what it needs to do. But this all is hypothetical.
What happens to sarcophagus is not necessarily organic transformation. It could be sci-fi nano memory metal shape shifting. Maybe the difference between the Alien and SpaceJockey is that A is totally organic (and perfect at that as Ash stated) but SJ uses nanotech. They use it in their technology but incorporating it in their physiology would improve interfacing that technology. This would give other cool cyborg features to SJ (e.g. growing a shoulder gun when needed). Imagination is starting to get out of hand here. :-)
[b]And a disclaimer:[/b]
What do I learn from this? Absolutely nothing useful as to me it reveals nothing of the plot (probably reason why it is in the trailer). It was a fun detective work though but time consuming.

Gavin
MemberTrilobite01/3/2012People really do need to not read too much into Ridleys comments, especially when he uses words like EVISCERATING and VISCERAL. Personally I think Ridley just likes the sounds of the words, because he usually uses them out of context.
If you want a visual definition of VISCERAL think Hellraisers 1-4 (after that they get really lame), thats VISCERAL.

MemberOvomorph01/3/2012OMG!.....i know what it is on that gif....that's the floating head of Zsa Zsa Gabor!....lol..I mean geez!....what's wrong with u guys...I can see it clearly!!!..;)
