Waterfall saucer speculations.

It's all going to depend on the position of that sequence in the film. What if that is not the beginning of the film. What if it's the end? Ha the maps were saying, um done here, we're going here next seeya!

[quote]agreed sparty i love that film just thought the aliens could of been a bit less cheesy lol[/quote] I hate admitting they were...But They Were.

yup it's swamp gas

@Constealltion88 - Yeah, I noticed that too. Looks like a little chunk has been taken out of his head and scarred over or something. I cant help thinking that the blue guy and space jockeys are different species(even though theres no evidence) and that the saucer is the blue guys ship and the derelict is the space jockeys ship. The 'style' of the two match that way. Space jockeys = good Blue guys = bad

@ whydontThey freeze him....If that is the case that would be very cool indeed and may account for the promise by ridley of showing something we haven't seen before . Another thing i cant help thinking about is this special project ridley has had Giger working on adding to the fact of the statement made that he is locking the best stuff away, or is the head design's his work / the interior of the head room and jockey chair is based on gigers work but what is this special project ? . i am positive that's what he has elaborated on sometime ago regarding gigers involvement but since that statement was made no one when given the opportunity has pulled him up on it.

The SJs are Prometheus, the blue guy is the Gods and humans are the eagle sent to annoy SJs and kill xenos using only our female warriors (as a token of disrespect).

[b]Grindolf said on the previous page[/b] - Some of the other shots from the trailer of an under lit SJ ship suggest that this saucer houses the space jockey ship, other shots also seem to be them standing on it, shaw says "We wont have a home to go back to" on top of it I believe as it opens, at the same time the space jockey ship starts up its flying process, then the Prometheus flies into it and it comes crashing back down...from there who knows Grindolf, I'm guessing you've only seen the quick cutting trailer, rather than the 'slowed down' version or stills from it? If that's the case, then I can see how you may have thought this might be the 'saucer' opening up...but it's actually the GROUND in front of the 'pyramid' (or one of them anyway) that is opening up beneath Shaw in the trailer. And the 'space jockey' ship is below Shaw it seems as the opening serated 'plates' match the shape of the ones in the shot of the underlit shot of it. Personally, I'm hoping the 'saucer' ISN'T supposed to be the 'mothership' of the 'space jockey' ship(s?)...as it's derivitive round shape just doesn't seem as organically 'alien'-looking as the weird 'horseshoe'-shaped 'derelict'. So I'm hoping the 'saucer' belongs to a totally different race... [i]By the way, when I first heard this movie was going to focus on the 'space jockey', I hoped we'd end up seeing several 'derelict'-style ships in this eventually. And I'm convinced certain things point to there being more than one in this... Either way, one of the things I've always wanted to see was the 'derelict' in flight, so that will be a real highlight for me. By the way, I once imagined the 'mothership' for these looking like a gigantic, gnarly 'sea urchin' without the spines...and the 'derelicts' would exit out of the hole in the bottom of it, lol. However, I'm equally satisfied with the notion of the 'derelict'(s?) being hidden underground![/i]

Personally, I'm hoping that the 'saucer' ISNT some kind of 'mothership'...as it's familiar rounded design seems at odds with the very weird, organic-looking 'derelict' ship design. I'm hoping that they were created by 2 totally different races... When I first heard that this movie was going to focus on the 'space jockey', I hoped that we'd end up seeing more than one 'derelict'-style craft in this. One of the highlights for me will be seeing this unusually-shaped craft in flight! [i]I also recall imagining that a gigantic, gnarly, spineless 'sea-urchin'-shaped 'mothership' would look good...with the 'derelict(s?)' emerging out from an opening in the bottom of it...but I'm equally satisfied with them being hidden underground![/i]

i thought it would be funny if the saucer fit in the cranny of the SJ ship since its kind of a horse shoe shape. with their powers combined.... it creates captain planet! explains the blue-ish colored guy, captain planet just went bald is all.

@Cervantes ... I think we'll see more of the SJ's in the 2nd Prometheus movie ... Ridders said he'll be concentrating on the SJ's homeworld for the one ... I also thought that the saucer belonged to another race too ... I posted this a while back to show at least 2 species/race ...

@ Gem]n[ - Man, the thought of this return to sci-fi surroundings by Ridley is exciting enough...but it would indeed be awesome if he DOES end up returning to this in a sequel too! Interesting that you think the 'ampule' urns may be linked to the 'saucer' originally. I'm not so sure about that, but that's an interesting possibility.

Thanks for all your thoughts and comments and @ bella love your sense of humour long may it continue.

Pay attention people . . . to Ridley. Do any of you happen to recall the live interview he did on location in Iceland? You know, the place where this water fall exists? He was there on the final day of filming, but actually filming the opening sequence of the film, per his words. So what we see with the waterfall and the saucer is in the opening sequence of the film. Let the speculations continue . . .
