Just wondering... if the movie is going to be 2+ hrs... (the longer the better for me!) how are they going to deal with language... If the SJ's are featuring heavily and there is interaction between them and the human crew of the Prometheus, how is language going to be conveyed between the SJ's themselves as well as the SJ's and the Humans?? Would seem a massive cop out if the SJ's spoke English... Any thoughts?

If there is any "intelligent" interaction (other than the speculation of the SJ's using the humans for their purposes/experiments), I think it will be like when you go to a county where you don't speak the language... you communicate through gesturing. I agree that I would not want them to be able to speak our language or us theirs.

Good call, gesturing makes sense... if there's a lot of footage of them think there's going to have to be a lot of gesturing! Maybe they could do charades with the crew....Subject: book, 3 words, first word, sounds like.... Or what if Ridley throws us Alien/Prometheus nerds a massive wide ball, and the SJ's talk Hispanic gangsta... Yo homes, what you doin up in my crib essay, bust a cap in yo ass fool... No disrespect to my hispanic brothers...got nothing but love for ya.... ;-)

Ugh, there's always the telepathy cop-out.
Fall down seven times, get up eight.

F--- it - lets go for it!

hopefully there wont be any cheesy voice over dialogue, or as per CSI...where the viewer is spoon fed the info through running commentary ( we have deductive reasoning you know!!!!!). no, scott credits his audience with a bit more intelligence, i dont see much need for comms as the visuals will speak for themselves, the actions of the aliens will see to that

Well there is the idea I had a while back, that the tall guy is a messenger of sorts created in our image.

could be through metaphor like the classic trek episode or decipher like alien Hieroglyphics or some kind of technology that allows thought to be transcribed into images, its interesting to know how it will be tackled if at all.

there will be no communication. use the aesthetic filter in your head please. do you really want to see a comical scene of jockey and humans communicating through gestures? please...

im using the aesthetic filter in my head and guys if ripley can make a bug understand her intentions made with a flame thrower gesture by threating the queens offspring i'm sure the engineers in alien can get a grasp on sign language or any other form of non verbal communication i mean after all theres never been communication between alien species and humans in adult sc fi before has there lol
