MemberOvomorphFebruary 14, 20122494 Views53 Repliesi just figured it out..there was another topic about this
he appears to be going through some sort of transformation and the close up reveals his face
get this i just took a look at the trailer again and his face is weird because it was burne d by some sort of acid vapor..you clearly see a person gripping their face as its being burned..its gotta be the same guy. i mean his face..it looks all swollen like from a burn
as for that protrusion near the top of his head..he is not transformng nto a xenomorphs its the top part of his space helmet..the glass has been smashed out
we see another human acting like a vicous rabid zombie again in the trailer..its some woman in white...they arent transformng into anything but they are vicous for some reason..like i said the guys face is puffy and swolen from that acid vapor that hits him in the face during the second trailer

yeah but that bio former stuff came from a guys made up script leak..the fatc that it changes and mutates things was completely made up by some guy. so that isnt even an official part of the story....and i wasnt talkng about the guy in the explosion but this

Looks like same guy Ridley is giving direction to in teaser 2. He has no helmet on but could be last bits of burnt hair remaining, or protrusion from head. His space suit has a bunch of holes in it which also may be from getting torched, and is probably same guy getting lit up in teaser 1 and climbing up the side of transport vehicle.?

You're missing the point.....It is believed that the "acid vapor", as you call it, is what the forum has come to call bio-former. Sure it burns like an acid, as you said, but it's a substance that is designed for genetic mutation, manipulation and transformation......based on the little info we have, it is an educated guess, and based on the way he climbs up the side of that vehicle, here:

...and the fact that he jumps off the vehicle here like no human I've seen:

...it follows that whatever acid compound that is, whatever it is intended to do, whether it is the bio-former many suggest or just an acid that horribly burns him and drives him insane enough to attack his fellow crew.......it does something to him that gives him the ability to climb up that vehicle like a spider and jump off it like a howler monkey......He doesn't look human in either shot when played at full speed and that's the ultimate point....isn't it?

I doubt Charlize goes zombie, it seams like her and Rapace are last survivors (judging by trailer), she is just doing some intense pushups.
February 14, 2012
You're right about the bio-former, forgot about that, but the point still stands....that stuff does something to him and he displays characteristics, abillities that cannot be labeled as human....
February 14, 2012
Ok.....this guy:
[img]http://www.empireonline.com/images/uploaded/prometheus10.jpg[/img]
...is believed to be the same guy.
And she is not going all zombie:
[img]http://www.empireonline.com/images/uploaded/prometheus30.jpg[/img]
...she's doing push-ups for cryin' out loud.....

@craigeamore, could you post a screenshot from teaser 2 that I was taliking about in this thread (Ridley directing actor). That would be nice!
February 14, 2012
thats the guy..anybody remember how the russian looked in the punisher movie after he gets the water thrown in his face....but yeah the guy has a big swollen burnt boiled face and its definatly from that acid...and i do believe that bump over his head is apart of the space suit
she isnt doing pushups..she falls to her knees a few frames before that..it looks like she is like crouching like a hunting animal..i guarantee whatever is happening to that guy that is making him attack other members of the crew is happening with her as well.
theyve clearly become rabid from exposure to somthng but nothing in any of the trailers suggests that they are transforming into xenomorphs from a bioformer that was MADE UP by another poster. it has no validity whatsoever
February 14, 2012
looks like Rapace who collapses, all bloody. Is that also her in bed with Halloway ?
,,,and thought PUNISHER 2 was much better.
February 15, 2012
punisher-war zone, way more violent, more guns, action and way better villain than Travolta . BTW Charlize is also supposedly the villain, or "Burke", in this film. I understand what you are saying about the image above, she dose look possessed, or evil. could she be the second robot?
February 15, 2012
i know it looks right out of the excorsist...but im guessing whatever is happening with her is the same thing happening to acid face guy..
February 15, 2012
Maybe he can pounce / jump because he's an android like David. Maybe there's a few I. The ship acting as a military detachment, but with secret orders to bring back the evidence... Crew expendable...
February 15, 2012
Im sorry but I have to agree with Craigamore....Charlize is not transforming in that pic...she might go threw some sort of transformation during the course of the movie, but that pic is her doing her push-ups and the push up scene she mentioned herself back at comic con already....she does have a rather intense look on her face...but that's all I can make of it...I think people get payed good money to look intense in this type of movie...lol
Besides the woman falling to her knees are covered in blood or some black shit...Vickers looks clean as a whistle and it is also a much darker scene..

@20thcenturybuick
You are taking the trailer scenes out of context.
The scene of the girl falling to her knees is a brunette so it is definately not Vickers (Therone) it could be Repace or Dickie, the general opinion is that it is Shaw (Repace) as she is in the medical tube and is believed to be unatturally pregnant or infected with somesort of unattural birth/ creature birth; after which you see the scene of her dropping to her knees near the doorway.
Therone did 'joke' at the Comicon press conference about doing 'naked pushups'; it has been suggested that she is either hiding or waiting to attack someone. I can not see how much can be 'assumed' from the few seconds of this shot. Remember the trailer is not in chrologocal order.
As for the guy that has been burnt by acid/bioform, etc. I have to agree with @Caigamore. If you watch the official countdown trailer (there were 3 of them, not sure which one it was in) there is footage as @Craigamore has said; he crawls up a 7-8 foot vehicle as if it was a toy car, so he is definately displaying superhuman strength. Also judging by the extent of the burns, if he was 'only human' he would be hospilatised by the injuries not climbing up and jumping off of tall vehicles attacking his fellow crew members.................
Hope you don't take this the wrong way :)

I thought long and hard about all this over the weekend and here is what I came up with.
I now believe that Viscous Liquid contained in the containers which we have been calling for want of a better terme..."Bio-Former"... is actually Pre-programmed for certain species condusive to Terra Forming.
The Liquid itself, when from a URN pre-programmed for XENOMORPH creation, if not handled properly, will grow and grow and grow and grow and grow until it consumes every single living thing it touches.
That guy, has been touched by Bio-Former Liquid and is mutating into something so big we cannot even imagine it...YET !!!
Something along these lines above is what I am thinking is really really going on there...we are ONLY seeing the benign begginnings of something so HORRIBLE half of us will not be able to grasp what we are seeing in the end.

Spartacus it could also be to de-evolve a species.
The mutant guy could be de-evolving into an early stage of human existance and the xeno could come from the Engineer de-evoling both through contact of the bio-form liquid.
February 15, 2012
I like that idea a lot. good one, whomever was first with that. I remember saying this before as well, someone mentioned this idea already and I do in fact like it a lot.
Again, I think the best part of all of this is how much fun it is going to be to revisit all these ideas after the film comes out.

Ridley Scott has stated over and over again, THERE WILL BE NO XENOMORPHS IN PROMETHEUS! Whenever I see someone use that word to describe an alien in the movie Prometheus all can think of is desperate wish fulfillment for the original Alien to return to this movie. Please think of something else to call whatever the crew of the Prometheus is transforming into.
The suffix "Xeno" is from the Greek which means "stranger, alien". The word morph means " a visual or behavioral difference between organisms of distinct populations in a species". Xenomorph is a portmanteau word which only appears in the movies "Aliens" which refers to the original Alien created by H.R. Giger.
