Ok so this Beardyman guy is absolutely key to the film I bet - but who is he and why does he look so bizarre? Here he is in one of the teaser trailers: [img]http://garrick.lesniakswann.com/beardyman1.png[/img] You can see his odd mohican style hair - and someone's trying to kill him with a flamethrower… so he scrambles up one of the APC in an in-human manner if you watch the trailer. Here he is, i presume only a second or two after the last screenshot - he's leaping off the APC he's just climbed up seconds before: [img]http://garrick.lesniakswann.com/beardyman2.png[/img] Here he is with fire damage BUT minus the helmet and chest/back carapace of his space suit. The top portion of his head is swollen and possibly mutating. this is taken from another of the teaser trailers: [img]http://garrick.lesniakswann.com/beardyman3.png[/img] I did think at first that the mutant was Holloway mutating after he'd been sprayed in the face with the substance as per the main trailer: [img]http://garrick.lesniakswann.com/halloway.png[/img] - but then i noticed the beard… so who is the mutant? I'm pretty sure he's gonna be the main protagonist here. The 'Engineer' seen in the below shot could still be a mutated human (Holloway). But I don't think 'Beardyman' and the 'Engineer' are the same creature at different points of mutation, like i once thought till i saw the beard - cuz the beard seems an odd addition to the mix….unsightly even. [img]http://garrick.lesniakswann.com/whodis.png[/img] I think a few theories on the origin/identity of the Beardyman are needed to get to the bottom of who/what he is…..

You know if you look at the [url=http://www4.picturepush.com/photo/a/7324067/img/prometheus/agonyman.png]high resolution image[/url] of Holloway he looks like he is rapidly growing some strange peach fuzz.

i dont think he will be a key role ... he also appear in the RED LASERS scene ...getting something from a bag ..still normal .

I think there is a relationship between this role and alien because his action is quite fast and similar to alien's. Maybe it's the punishment by Space Jockey to the crews .

Hey why is there no hair in that part of space? The biomechanoid doesn't have hair, The facehugger doesn't have hair, the bald guy when the chair rises doesn't have hair, I think the key to the movie is the foreign introduction of human hair into the their genetics lab.

With all those ampules, can we assume that they're not all full of the same stuff? There's the green goo (the maybe-proto-facehugger) we see in the trailer, but what if the ampules contain various biological matter? The bearded guy might well be exposed to something other than what Holloway is exposed to. Perhaps several characters meet several unique, grotesque fates. For all we know, someone could be exposed to some substance and (painfully?) mutate into a carnivorous plant. (Unlikely, I know, but you get what I mean.) If the engineers are bioformers, it doesn't necessarily make sense that every ampule would contain the same stuff.

Who says that only one of the prometheus crew Will be infected and mutating? i believe there will be many becoming something else after the exposure with the green goo. and it is not clear whethee tge bold guy is a mutated human crew member or a space jockey.

I agree Jones. Look at some of the Ampule room photos and you can see that there are different size urns. If you find a hi rez version, you can also see that there is writing on the side of the urns. Be very interesting to be able to read that writing, heh.

Biomechanic

MemberOvomorph01/13/2012
I don't remember seeing any writing on the urns anywhere. Can you point me to where to look?

Im pretty much on board withe whole more than one kind of mutant/more than one kind of bioform in the ampules. But the question remains - if the Beardyman ain't Holloway, then who is he and how did he come to be able to breath without a helmet (in the leaping from the APC shot, the guy he's jumping on is one of the crew wearing a helmet, indicating that a normal human cannot breath at that location without his suit. But Beardyman can! Cuz he's double hard!! ) .. If he can breath without space suit then it goes to show he is mutating into something alien and at home in the atmosphere of that particular planet

Beardman seems like he'd be one of the mercenaries (not necessarily Holloway) judging from his haircut, unless the hair has fallen out as part of the mutation. One thing I'm thinking is that not everyone who's exposed to one of these substances mutates and goes aggro like Beardman. I could see someone mutating and dying (horribly/painfully) due to crossed genetic wires. The resulting lifeform simply hits a genetic brick wall. Yet another might mutate into some "purer" (than human) form. The horror doesn't have to come from being attacked or chased, but from seeing someone who was once human have that humanity disrupted and stripped away through the mutation process.

I'm with you 100% there jones. But does one of them mutate in to a forty foot unicorn that farts pure gold? I BET one does!!

Here you go Bio http://www.avpgalaxy.net/gallery/albums/movies/prometheus/trailers/20111221_firstlook3-06.jpg Zoom in and you'll see the writing.

This guy from the trailer kind looks like he could have a mohawk, hard to tell from all the smoking goop on the helmet, either he has a mohawk or a very oddly shaped head.

MemberOvomorph01/13/2012
Thanks, that is weird. It looks like more of the alien cuneiform.

bio ..watch the haircut of Rafe Spall

Biomechanic

MemberOvomorph01/13/2012
Is it going to attack?

Frantz

MemberOvomorph01/13/2012
nah first rape and then attack :D

Biomechanic

MemberOvomorph01/13/2012
His hair does look like it might have that attitude. You got me thinking though about the red laser guy. [img]http://www2.picturepush.com/photo/a/7324060/img/prometheus/scanman.png[/img] This guy looks like he has skinny weird legs. I never thought I'd say this but does anyone have a good picture of Rafe Spall's legs? [img]http://www.stayfe.com/photo/Rafe-Spall55156.jpg[/img] Is this a WHO AM I breakthrough? P.S What is up with him here? Do girls make Rafe nervous?

Frantz

MemberOvomorph01/13/2012
Can be can be ! but we have to keep in mind another scenario : -two or three guys in the red laser scene -shit happen -rafe spall >>> screaming with the helmet Mohawk guy ( but which actor hes ? thats your job )>>> become mutated maybe all three become mutated ....( another is approching in the corridor ) can this be the second APC crew ? you did discover that the second APC was moving too ...and it dont return with the others ...

Biomechanic

MemberOvomorph01/13/2012
Yeah so maybe we have Stannison and Milburn in the red laser crew. Makes sense since we don't see them with David and his posse. Have no idea though who mutates and into what though.

Biomechanic

MemberOvomorph01/13/2012
Ugh but also this guy looks kind of like James Embree. His head is similarly shaped. [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Zwj7Lr66Ac]James Embree Martial Arts[/url] I think that video is very interesting. If you wanted an actor who was going to mutate into something that can jump around like a maniac Embree might be a good choice. EDIT: His [url=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1415490/]IMDb[/url] page has hims listed as a stunt double on Prometheus

Also, take a look at him in the air jumping off the APC. Specifically his right hand (left from our point of view) and count the fingers. Granted they could be curled, but it looks like it matches the hand on the SJ/human hybrid in the SJ chamber.

YEs he look very much Embree , you are right , and the other Spall to me ..more than Pearce and Spall ...Pearce can be connected cos the glasses but in a frame for frame review the said that the guy watching the red lasers near the mohawk one is Spall ... Spall + Embree ... Pearce + Spall ...Spall + Embree ....Spall +Spall ....ugh ....

Biomechanic

MemberOvomorph01/13/2012
Need more hard evidence on this Guy but I still think the glasses guy is Guy Pearce. [img]http://www3.picturepush.com/photo/a/7324061/img/prometheus/Glasses.png[/img] [img]http://image.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/564025/564025,1295322286,2/stock-photo-beverly-hills-jan-guy-pearce-arrives-at-the-weinstein-company-and-relativity-media-s-69218989.jpg[/img] Big similarities I see are the bags under the eyes, nose and the lower lip.

After looking at Biomechanics larger pic of the mutated human jumping off the APC it looks more like a balled fist than anything else.

I'm starting to think the guy in the wheel chair and the beardman look the same
