MemberOvomorphMar-23-2012 5:05 AMIn one of the trailers we see the SJ sitting in its chair fully armoured when we notice its ribcage moving in a strange way, almost as if something is about to burst out from the inside just like it happened to the SJ from the original Alien. Just thought this was worth mentioning and what are your thoughts on this?

MemberOvomorphMar-23-2012 5:13 AMLooks more like the chair/suit is detaching from the SJ than exploding outwards. It seems the chair encases the wearer, like a harness of some sort. There are also parts moving away from the shoulders and arms. My thoughts anyway.

MemberOvomorphMar-23-2012 5:17 AMMy thought was that it was the big blue guy sitting in the chair with the suit wrapping around him. Ridley has said in an interview that the thing in the chair was a suit. From what we've seen it seems highly likely that big blue guy is the thing that's in the suit.

MemberOvomorphMar-23-2012 5:17 AMI agree it appears more like a mechanised movement than an exploding ribcage.
I don't think we will see the death of the SJ in Prometheus.

MemberOvomorphMar-23-2012 6:00 AMthe suit seems to be conforming the wearer. also it looks different than the ones that are behind shaw in one of the earlier pictures. not just in size but also in texture

MemberOvomorphMar-23-2012 6:30 AMYes I agree with db73 I think the blue guy is the space Jockey
That whole metallic structure around him looks like a suit and it could very well be that the blue guy is underneath. The eyes of the space jockeys seem to have kind of a human quality?

MemberOvomorphMar-23-2012 7:35 AMThat sequence appears in two different trailers, and the funny thing is one shows it closing up, but the others direction is reversed. It appears to be opening.
I think it's a rough and unfinished scene. Many trailers have such things in them.

MemberOvomorphMar-23-2012 7:48 AMI hate to burst your bubble, but there's probably not going to be any chest-bursting in this movie.
