BRIGHTER/CLEARER IMAGE OF THE SPACE JOCKEYS AND NOOMI RAPACE

@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.

Ah sorry BM just read your comparison lols

If she was shot from a high angle I would expect the archway to be very large in the background.

that space suit should have been the x men suits..minus the helmet

I don't like that the jockeys are wearing boots....weather those are suits or statues....those boots....I dunno.....?......it just seems bizarre and so very wrong!

i suspect that the space jockey's as we know them are actually bio-mechanical space suits... the humanoid seen on the trailer; wears them...

those are definatly space suits..why would they have statues? that doesnt even make sense...those aren't suits of armor in a chateau/ definitely space suits that are not being used

but those boots.....dammit...they seem so man made!....all those jockeys need now is a fucking scarf and a cowboy hat!.....no no no!.....i am hoping this is fox throwing a red herring our way!.....

lol juxtapose absolutely right that is one of the first reactions i had..they look like my fuckin snowboarding boots or those rubber hunting boots duck hunters wear......lol a scarf..one of them has a wrist watch..i thought hollywood had more believable props these days

.....ha ha ha yeah.....lets hope it's a red herring.....or else i am starting to fear that Prometheus is gonna have a super bizarre plot!.....i seriously don't want that.....in the end the plot must seem plausible......not like something that was written by someone on an acid trip!

meh maybe the jockeys are humans..those are boots are very human...and again with the giant face being that of a humans....the annunaki are depicted as human..just larger than us..
