Is the "Please" from the trailer a voiceover?

Obligatory disclaimer: I am sorry if this topic has been discussed already Seems to me like Dr. Shaws mouth doesn´t really scream "Please!" in the trailer. I don´t really know where to go with this, just curious if anyone else has the same impression...

It was probably dubbed in just for the trailer. She may just be grimacing in pain.

What she really said was, "can you pass the bacon please?" but they cut the first part out for dramatic effect. They're just trying to mislead you, I'm sure the actual scene in the movie will play out completely different than you expect.

i still think there is a chance that the voice we are hearng in the scream scene with Naoomi Rapace is actually Charlene Theron's voice. Sure sounds like it to me.

That's what the 'horror' of this film will be - a badly dubbed sci-fi film similar to those awful 70s kung fu movies. Cue shot of a tight-lipped burly man smiling laviciously dubbed with a feminine, squeaky and plaintive "PLEASE!!!!" A Space Jockey in a roundhouse kick giggling hysterically, lol.

Yes of course Snorky, she said "she loved me" when I showed her the $400,000 gift card for Debeers and I am most familiar with that voice now...it's the same one screaming "Plllleeeeaase" while Rapace is in pain.

Funny that I heard her scream PLEASE the other night, but was a little too preoccupied with what she was doing to compare it with the trailer!

i can dig it visualizer, excuse us, for some of us, we've gone through this very idea about 126,000 times in the last 5 months and completely feel your pain. Back on Topic I have been very stubborn and still maintain after all this time that we are hearing Theron's voice and not Rapace's, most people, including all of the country of "FRANTZ" lol, thinks I am NUTZ

What idea have you been going through 126,000 times in the last 5 months? Not sure I understand (I am playing my "not at native english speaking guy" here). Showing Noomi Rapaces face with Charlize Therons voice in the trailer for one of this years most anticipated movies?! Not happening.

SORRY IF I WASN'T CLEAR...THE IDEA THAT THE VOICES IN THE TRAILER ARE DUBBED AND FROM OTHER SCENES OTHER THAN THE ONES YOU ARE SEEING IN IT, I TOUGHT THAT WAS PRETTY OBVIOUS, MY BAD IF IT WASN'T.

Thank you for clearing that up, now I understand. I wasn´t aware that the dubbing in this exact part of the trailer had been discussed before. Apparantly my punishment was watching my topic getting "vulgarized" :) Do you really think, that Ridley would take his smokescreening so far that he would play the voice of one actress on top of another?

@visualizer Its not really a smokescreen. Trailers commonly have voice overs. This one isn't that jarring as the scream is replacing silence or a "sigh" during a visual of a woman in obvious pain. Its was probably done just for dramatic effect by the trailer editors.

i think that everything Ridley has done so far has been deliberately done and said with the sole purpose of protecting as much of the plot as is possible and to mislead us all as much as he can...this is his baby...and imo he'll be damned if anyone is gonna be anythng less than utterly amazed when it finaly hits!!! He's waited 33 years to do thisd and has thought about it constantly. I can almost guarentee everyone right now, that at the 2013 oscars, Ridley takes the 2nd biggest prize of all and the very thing that has eluded him his entire career. I said it once before and I will say it again, this is NOT just some movie. What this is, is a Master Director and his Master Conceptual artist going back to the very subject matter they Mastered 33 years ago. this is an EVENT...not a movie! this is an Artistic parade. this is The Science Fiction Film finally being taken seriously once again!

I am pretty sure that Ridley is doing his best to smokescreen details in the promotion of Prometheus to avoid the plot being figured out to soon - since "the surprise is in the story". I am aware of the dramatic effect of breaking the silence with the "please" in the trailer, but the timing of the clip and the sound, kind of suggest that they belong together - even if not in sync. I am fully aware that voiceovers are commonly used in trailers, but that doesn´t really prove that Charlize is the person screaming "please!", which is what I disagreed with in the first place.
