Patrick Wilson, my little idea.

Hmmm....very interesting. According to Wikipedia, he's only labeled as "Cocooned Man."

Now that you mention it, its not just you. It definitely looks like him IMO too.

I just tried some different photos of Patrick in Photoshop using grayscale, and then contrast I found the outcome is uncanny. I could post the photos, but I'd rather you all go down this path on your own. After all, this may not be accurate. Parker had it right.

Cyber_Clone, IMDB states that he is Shaw's "father" now. Interesting to say the least!

Freeze him - the cheekbones, the 'classic' nose - you just could be right on the money there......

Thanks Zeta! Aside of the nose, cheeks and eyebrowline... consider the dimples!

Yeah, I'm thinking of his face in 'Watchmen' - quite handsome (from my blokey point of view y'know, lol). God, world's away from his character in 'Hard Candy' eh?

He should be shaw's father in flashbacks ...but who knows .. Biomechanic had a theory about him being the "old" man aboard .

IMDB recently changed his listing from shaws father to coccoon man back to shaws father. He stated early on his role was small but had some importance. The Weyland timeline does mention the ablity to bring back a dead persons memory - or something along that line. Link them if you so choose.

Or perhaps the head hasnt always been there.....perhaps it only forms when the adventure party turn up and the living ship clocks one of them like....Patrick Wilson.

I dont know..if you compare.. more similar to weyland? [URL=http://www.imagebanana.com/view/e012jv0a/headweyland.jpg][IMG]http://img6.imagebanana.com/img/e012jv0a/thumb/headweyland.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

Love it. I have seen some HD versions of the big head, and I swear that I can see an eyeball inside those dark sockets. Gives the punishment of the Prometheus character a whole different perspective doesn't it?

I still stand by my idea. I love your ideas, except for the one about it being Weyland. Patrick just has this face that stands out and matches.

Keeping this alive. I still think that Patrick has a huge role to play!

I do too, especially if he has at times been listed as "Shaw's father"...imagine that...a genetic similarity?

Right. Something of an idea to hold on to....?

Biehn... I saw the tear too. Must be something alarming!

"It's changing" a tear streams down Shaw's face while looking up at something. Something...familiar. [img]http://dailygrindhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/prometheus-image.jpg[/img]

Shaw's crying: That's just an anthropologist geeking out on the most awesome and significant find she's ever encountered. It's a very valid human response, but I wouldn't look into it more deeply than that.

I was just thinking about this ; I believe Patrick Wilson will have a part in Prometheus 2, maybe in flashback scenes. But it would be good if the engineers home planet was actually Heaven, and the dead/Angels lived there. Shaws Dad helping with experiments of Goo. Doubt that would ever happen, but Patrick Wilson cant be settling for 30 seconds screen-time, unless he just jumped at the opportunity to work with Ridley Scott.
