Ford freezing - potential spolier

She is convulsing NOT trembling. Something else happens to her. There is some hints of telepathy in the leaked script, and so far there is more than a few things in that leaked script ends up in the movie. EDIT: One leaked script contains a scene where a crew convulses before he/she is transformed into a mutated hybrid...

The hand doesn't appear to come from above I think that's just the camera angle. I think they're looking right at the jockey and ford shits it moves it's hand and maybe starts to walk towards ford and that's why the guy on the left looks like he's diving right maybe getting a clearer shot? I just think that it's not a huge giant hand it's the camera being right beside him.

Unless that's not what anyone was thinking haha in that case nevermind

I'd like to chime in my two cents. I've read the supposed leaked second draft script and there is a scene where Shaw is frozen in fear because she is under mind control of the engineer. It states she looks into his eyes and cannot move. Looking at this capture in slow motion I think this is the scene in question. If you don't like spoilers then don't read the script but the more I watch the trailers, look at pictures and read about all the details people are finding it leads me to believe that this script is pretty much the real deal plus or minus a few scenes during filming. If you google it you can read it for yourself. Despite having read this script I still can't wait to see the film. Oh, and if it's the real deal the whole thing with Shaw in that medical scanner and why she's in there is gonna make a lot of people cringe and maybe throw up. Ridley scared the crap out of us with Alien in 79 with the chestburster but it's been a long time since then so he probably has to step it up a few notches now...

Well, it's gonna have to be something really bad in that medical scanner to make me puke. The "Maternity Ward Scene" from the last AvP movie was about the closest i've come to barfing over anything in an Alien movie.

I don't think it's what happens inside the medical scanner, albeit I think it will be scary, it's what happened to her prior to her being in there. According to the script I'd say rape is not the right word but it's close...

The 120 A/2 always were a bit twitchy (ash,alien). It's look to be one of the space jockeys and obviously has her scared out of her mind or has telepathically put her into shock. This is likely the same dude who kicks the crap out of everyone in the loading bay of the prometheus and likely the same dude who activated the deralict spaceships gun or telecope or whatever object that is. Likely 9-12 ft tall and obviously stronger and smarter than the crew. It seems the guy on the left is raising a weapon to shoot the SJ. perhaps a flame thrower or one the pulse rifles shown in other post. Good find, I dont remember seeing this clip

looks like this is leading up to "Hulk smash"...poor Ford. I noticed she was drinking coffee during Holloways ancient civ speech...maybe the caffeine had her too twitchy to execute her exit strategy...

The camera is barely moving, if at all, but she is clearly moving [i]towards[/i] the Sj figure. Quivering while paralyzed, could be a natural reaction, but moving directly towards a percieved threat? I think it's probably mind control.
