Here's the .gif :

In the GIF we can see 3 main things.
A kind of white fish or worm jumping into water.
Writing on what looks like to be a glass cage, the writing says : Wild Card
And I can clearly see a Xenomorph!!! Passing right INFRONT of the writing, that's why the writing becomes dark, because something is passing infront of it.
Here's a classic Xeno model :

So look again, don't look for the white thing, concentrate on the black form that pass infront of the writing. We can clearly see the back of the head of a Xenomorph at the start of the GIF on the left. After we can see the kind of spikes that are on the Alien's tail, then it goes off the image. So the Xenomorph would going from right to left on the gift and in some kind of crawling movement.
So what I think we actually see in this GIF is a Xenomorph passing infront of some kind of cage made of glass in wich there's a big white worm diving in water. Also to those that say it's not yet textured, why would it show reflection then?
What do you guys think? It was more or less mentioned that the movie might figure Xenomorphs at the end or during a really quick moment.

I know some of you guys don't like the word Xenomorph, but whatever.
It's just so obvious, it's there, a Xenomorph going from right to left, we can clearly see it'S head and the spikes on his tail at the bottom of the image.

FrantzJanuary 04, 2012
i think " Wild card " is a script over the leaken trailer film ..is not part of the scene ...
the xenomorph .. i dont see it ....
LHeureuxJanuary 04, 2012
Ok yeah maybe you're right on the WIld Card thing.
For the xenomorph, just look the black form that pass infront of the rest, on the left at the start of the gif we can see the back of the head of a xeno, and after we can see it's tail with the kind of spikes and gaps in it. Going from right to left.
If I can get my hand on some sort of programs to highlight things in the gif...
Once you'll see it it will be way too obvious :P

FrantzJanuary 04, 2012
can you just take one frame and make clear ( highligth with a red pencil tool ) the contours of the alien shape ?

visualizerJanuary 04, 2012
I clearly see the taillike structures in front of the wormshape, but I am still having trouble seeing the Xenomorph head. But is this actually from Prometheus and not some blurry, distorted close-up from one of the AVP-disasters...?
LHeureuxJanuary 04, 2012
Ok I highligted some details, I upped the contrast and luminosity so we see more of the details, look the head is pretty obvious and I circled the tail gaps.

Now watch the orignial .gif with those details in mind.

I know it still can be hard to figure out, it might just be a really weird shadow..

db73January 04, 2012
I don't see this at all. Besides, there are no Usual Xenomorphs in this film. I'll stake my left maple but on it.
LHeureuxJanuary 04, 2012
I don't remind any weird white creatures in any of the AvPs lol, even if Requiem had weird stuff...
Also, I heard/read that the movie might contain a xenormorphs near the like 8 last minutes of the movie.

visualizerJanuary 04, 2012
@LHeurex Assuming that it is in fact a white creature. Well, it was Just a thought - it all looks a little blurry and jagged. Maybe its a composite of scenes from different movies.

visualizerJanuary 04, 2012
I see the head shape now, it actually looks like a Xenomorph from a distance.
LHeureuxJanuary 04, 2012
So maybe it's just a fake leaked scene with some scenes from other movies being mashed together, but that still doesn't explain that weird white thing lol.
I'm gonna be happy if we see this scene anyway ^_^

FrantzJanuary 04, 2012
There are no indications that there is something fake in this trailer ... basically it show 95% of the trailer that was aired one month later ...they just trimmed a couple of scenes that were showing a bit too much ...maybe we will see this version in a couple of months
still i really dont see that xenomorph :D and to be honest can be everything ..ranging from a fart to a coffee stain .

JuxtaposeJanuary 04, 2012
...i don't see it either...I desperately wanne see it tho....but it simply ain't there....

visualizerJanuary 04, 2012
Looks like some kind of shiny eel, maybe it´s from a nature documentary lol Well, personally I hope Prometheus won´t be filled with all kinds of creepy creatures. We´ll see :-)

The different cards may be referenced by a a poll asking what scene impressed you and why.

danraldJanuary 04, 2012
@LHeureux,
YOU ARE RIGHT!!!!!! I thought at first you were talking about the last frame.. there is a xeno in the last frame of the gif.. and its right there! There are 2 xenos.. I'm trying to spruce up the image and I'll post it!
WOW, that is all I have to say!

SpartacusJanuary 04, 2012
lmfao
you guys will never admit that the reason you don't see it is because you have already made up your minds that it is not there AND cannot or will not grasp the theory behind it and that is totally alright and O.K. and I respect your opinion.
I know in my heart one day you'll be sitting around and maybe even while on the john and you will think to yourself, "wait a tic", "what if that is some kind of creature that at some point later on it's life becomes subjected to just ONE human being?"
"What form would it take?" "
"Maybe at that point it would look ...not just like, but "prolly" exactly like..."A Xenomorph".
oooooooooooooooooooooooh...I get it now !!!


BiomechanicJanuary 04, 2012
Danrald what you just labeled XENO Head 2 is the fade in of the next shot of a person jumping:
Look at it here from 2:02 on and you can see what I mean:

FrantzJanuary 04, 2012
ty rick :D autoban yourself for that :D :D :D
i dont see a Giger penis of nothing !!!!

SpartacusJanuary 04, 2012
It bothers me a lot that it says "MakeAGif" at the bottom right can you airbrush that out by any chance?
lmfao.



RickJanuary 04, 2012
Ok,
I don't hav a clean still to work with so I used yours.
I'm seeing something different

SpartacusJanuary 04, 2012
Nice work Rick !
but again, it would be much more credible if it didn't say "MakeAGif" at the bottom right hand corner...LMFAO x 50 Gazillion Billion !!!!
I Love Uze Guys...hahahahahaha !!!

SpartacusJanuary 04, 2012
wow what an amazingly different perspective BIomechanic you are so gooooood...
You Monkey Man !!!
You just threw a total Monkey Wrench into the whole "enchalada"

RickJanuary 04, 2012
LOL SParky,
I didn't use it I just stole the still. But I do see what he is getting at by the way.
HEY BM when I go to 2:08 and stop the video. All you see is from the waist down of the person jumping the ravine until you hit 2:09. Here I did another edit of the still with a little bit better of an outline of what he's talking about. I can partly see a xeno but its so damn blurry.
[img]http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z137/Caillera_Mondaer/couldbeaxeno.jpg[/img]



BiomechanicJanuary 04, 2012
2:08 contains information from both scenes, I can see the full figure earlier in it's leap.
I went over the possibilities to myself when I first posted the slow video in November. I deliberately left out mention of it in the Video Recap post because I could not figure out exactly what is going on. The closest I have come is that it is some sort of tentacle maybe on the side of the head of one of these serpent like structures.
[img]http://www.heroesandhellions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Prometheus-Space-Jockey-Cockpit.jpg[/img]
Notice the one on the right has the white grayish color that resembles the tentacle.

RickJanuary 04, 2012
Sparky,
I did I stopped it right at 2:07-2:08. Right above the person's waist is a different screen as it transitions to the jump shot. I sectioned it out blew it up til it was blocks and did a half assed outline in Paint. I can see what he is talking about its jsut hard to work over what he did with the bulky red outline. It was a good attempt, tho. But I think you'll see more of what he is talking about with my adjustment that I got in place from BM's video. Now I can't get into photobucket to upload the new screenshot.
Rick


RickJanuary 04, 2012
To me it looks like a xeno half emersed in a flame. Makes sense with the flame thrower shots in the trailer and the leaked video just prior.


SpartacusJanuary 04, 2012
I am still in such deep thought looking at the new image and the entire platform on that side of where the Jockey would be if popped up.

RickJanuary 04, 2012
Sparky did you notice how the center hatch (for lack of a better word) looks more like clay than the rest of the platform? Its a completely different pattern.


FrantzJanuary 04, 2012
we deeeeeply need that other trailer version ... they left out the most juicy shoots
1) the tentacle scene ...one of the most horrifyng things everrrr
2) the face emerging from darkness ... a cat ? a monster ? a protoalien ???? PAris Hilton ??
3) the guy flaming an advancig thing ... a xeno ??? shaw's son ?? a queen ????a predator ??
jokes apart ..that 3 scenes would be greatly appreciated ...
