BRIGHTER/CLEARER IMAGE OF THE SPACE JOCKEYS AND NOOMI RAPACE

Is that another SJ you can just see above her head, or am I seeing things??

I don't think you're seeing things... I saw the same thing and asked the same question in the thread that BugHunter started. [url=http://www.prometheus-movie.com/news/98]http://www.prometheus-movie.com/news/98[/url]

As did you, I see. :-)

If there is another two SJ behind her then it could mean that they are statue's.

If there is another two SJ behind her then it could mean that they are statue's and the hallway that she is standing in could be the room with the telescope!

Thanks for posting!

It looks like An actual face above her head to me? Lol

kinda looks like a shoulder, rib parts and the head, but then again it does look sorta like a face lol :)

Nope, i think you are right. I also see them. And somehow i have a feeling that those are rather statues and not suits.

Now that I can see them on both sides of the hallway I'm convinced they are statue's, and the hall either leads to the telescope room or the big head room if its in the temple

Wow, I never noticed that. Now that I know what to look for I can see it in this slightly lower angle shot as well. Light is peaking through the space under the SJ trunk and you can just make out the eye socket shadow.

That def looks like another Jockey behind her, nice find drogie

Synthetic you are so right :) Are you able to lighten the picture to see if we can get a better look?

I tried to enhance it but the original picture quality is very poor and I wasn't able to do much with it.

No worries, I for sure am convinced there statue's now

Space Jockey's on Space Jockey Segways

I don't get it - why would there be statues of space jockeys in the movie? They do look like statues, on those pedestals.

pjr - Would you say there suites? well if they do go to a temple in the movie then they might be there, I mean there is the room with the huge head, why not have some statue's?

I wonder if this is the same tunnel/hall because it appears that Rapace is on a ramp in the older pic and it's hard to tell if she is on a ramp in the new one. Or, is the picture just taken at different points in the tunnel/hall?

awesome shot

@Membrane I think this is the same opening. The older picture has the SJ's cropped out, and the shadow behind her is so dark that we can't make out any detail. She also looks further into the room on the old picture. The camera view has also shifted down and left some. I'm guessing the is the entrance to the starmap/SJ pilot room.

This discussion got me thinking. If these are statues...why would a species (I acknowledge the fact that it may be difficult to understand the thinking processes of an alien species) make statues of their bio-mech suits and not themselves?

that sj above her head is just a trick of light and shadow IMO....don't stone me tho...I might be wrong.....i just don't see what is the point of a hidden sj head lurking in the shadows...seriously!

Its not intentionally hidden, its just not the focus of the photograph. The obscured SJ (probably one of a pair) matches those on the opposite wall, so other than them being present, you aren't really missing anything by not being able to see them clearly.

they are space suits they aren't statues

I can´t help myself other than find this somewhat lame. Why would a technically motivated race put statues in such installation? Or, worse yet, a spaceship? We´re not in Paris. Or Washington DC. Looks like a b-movie plot trick to convey to the audience the feeling that they know something that the characters don´t know (there are SJ´s here!). Of course it could be some clever explanation to this, but I despair.

They look like the same place to me only in the second picture the focal length is longer compressing the distance. I think the scale is wrong like i said earlier it should be something like this: [img]http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc389/bongobat/Fun%20on%20the%20Internet/jockeysuit.jpg[/img] I think the possibilities are 1. Shaw is standing on something tall very close in the foreground but that seems unlikely because she should still be small compared to the archway. [img]http://www4.picturepush.com/photo/a/7351822/img/prometheus/cave.png[/img] 2. The Spacejockeys are closer to human sized but that doesn't quite make sense because the large hall is probably the same size as the caves we see in the trailer and the humans are pretty small in comparison to those. 3. The filmmakers were doing some camera tricks with miniature sets and they allowed her to stand in front of one for the publicity shot. 4. The two shots were combined together to make for a more interesting picture.

I'm with 4

BM it could possibly be that Shaw is shot from a high angle whilst on a raised platform. So the suits or statues are still much larger than her but is perspective based on the angle of the shot?......

I kind of lean toward 3. The photographer pulled her aside and got her and the set for these pictures not thinking about what it all meant.
