Shaw's massive C-section wound...

In the trailers its been altered. I agree with you though... I can't see this film being PG13.

altered you say...probably why I never noticed it before...I hope they don't water anything else down on another note, dark knight rises confirmed as PG...no surprises there tho Batman movies are not exactly gore

Holy cow! I never noticed that on the international trailer...

I think when we see Shaw towards the end of the trailer trying to defend herself against that Space Jockey, she loses. She gets beaten up pretty bad and thats the result of all the bloody scars and what not. Than the Space Jockey takes her and encases her in that machine where that facehugger looking thing is being held above her head thus implanting something possibly inside her. As a result we have her in the second pic scuddling away trying to keep her balance. Or. Shaw loses and that facehugger looking thing ends up lashing her out pretty bad. Maybe its entering through her vagina. I mean Ridley mentioned how some of the scenes were quite embarrassing to him. I wouldn't doubt in the least. We see a snid bit in the trailer where Shaw is looking down towards her body in pain. That would be pretty gruesome if the squid/facehugger looking thing entered through the vaginal cavity.

I kinda think Ridley is deliberately misleading us with some aspects of the trailer. Erm, isn't the author of that article in this group?? They even mention this website. O_O

RC8, So why do you think that she has staples in one shot trailer and a gash in another shot trailer?

That might make a PG-13...IMHO...

BubbaChubbs, Well, that is not the only discrepancy. The trailers are littered with them.

I think Ridley made the trailers deliberately misleading.

Svanya, Lol... you sure about that.. lol

phallic worm ...thats require alot of fantasy ... i go to cook some phallic mushrooms ...

I've wondered for a ahile what she's holding in her hand. I thought maybe some sort of electronic key fob to open/lock doors between passageways. But I suppose it could be a hand held medical stapler. Notice in some shots the wound is closed and you can visibly see staples holding it shut. So maybe, she was in such a hurry to get away from the birthing chamber, she decided to seal herself up on the go. Of course, another distinct possibility is that this shot is unfinished and the staples have not yet been digitally added.

Outlander, One image is with a gash, bloody.. the other is with staples and looks like mud on her. hmmmmmmmm, I wonder why... [img]http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/3695/shawstaples.jpg[/img]

interesting and cool article, thanx for posting it personally, i am hoping against all hope, that Scott with this new film, does his best to obliterate the predictable "insect like" direction that Cameron had defaulted on for his shallow take on what Scott worked so hard to convey in ALIEN i am well aware that Scott himself has said that of all the "Alien films" he himself only recognizes "Aliens" to be an ALIEN film and not the rest in spite of that fact, i wish that Scott would establish a entirely new thought process into how and what the aliens are, and how they are created, and once and for all do away with the grade-school tenants that Cameron tried, yet failed to establish with dyed-in-the-wool ALIEN loyalists like myself in any case, something to look forward to

@danrald, Eh who knows. This is his baby, I don't think he would give so much away on purpose.

You give Ridley Scott way too much credit.

@Xenotron; possibly. :P

I think a lot of your guesses based on the footage we have so far are likely to be pretty accurate, fellas. It would be great if we turned out not to be even close and the film is a complete shocker. But I doubt it. Nobody is that brilliant. Looks to me as though he's sticking to the formula he used in Alien. We got our expectations way too high. We're asking Ridley to be a magician.

All I know, is that if Shaw ends up stapling herself on the run, that would be absolutely crazy and cringe inducing in the best way. I'm sensing a pretty epic sequence of film--and by epic, I mean [i]epic[/i]: the way it was when it used to mean something. Rapace is going to devour the scenery in this film.

If you look closely, you can see staples in the international trailer too..its not gash, its all the red throwing you guys off. You can also see the staples when she is in front of the mirror doing the power prayer.
