MemberOvomorphApr-15-2012 7:13 PMAt least not in english anyway.
I hope the space jockeys don't even attempt to communicate with humans at all. I would find that much more frightening. I hope they are completely indifferent to us, they just use us for their experiments and stuff. Trying to communicate with the crew of the Prometheus would be like us talking to an intruding family of chipmunks. I find it would be unrealistic.
It could be cool if they had their own alien language though, as long as it is clearly non-human sounding.

MemberOvomorphApr-16-2012 8:37 AMThe Key to this entire film is the Space Jockey.
and as someone in the media said recently...
"Scott’s playing with the yin and yang that comes with seeking immortality or making contact with a higher life form - thinking that we’re the only superior creature in the universe - and winding opening Pandora’s box. Somethings shouldn’t be investigated, but human curiosity won’t allow it. Our nature is discover and explore - perhaps it’s a kismet, alien part of our DNA that leads us back to our original ancestor? Was the Space Jockey also a hominid alien explorer seeking truths of the universe?"
With respect to them, The Space Jockeys talking, In the Extended edition of Alien we do hear a communication in their voices that is what we could consider talking but it is completely indiscernible to humans and almost certainly a communication meant for his associates...so if there is "talking" done by the Jockeys, i feel it would only be done between each other.
But that aside, I think it will not be something we see in this film and I also think this...It is Insulting...with all due respect to the OP, IMO, to even ask this question because it pre assumes that Scott and Giger and even the Suits at Fox haven't already thought this all through.

MemberOvomorphApr-16-2012 8:43 AMi don't mind the idea of comunication with that weyland timeline device. but if because of that when the spacejockeys talk (if they do so) we hear it in english, well thought of or not, i'll dislike that little fact.

MemberOvomorphApr-16-2012 5:00 PMInsulting? Spartacus...why is hoping for this concept insulting?....It's no different than any other wishlist thread where someone hopes for something to be in the film because they like the idea.....let's not be harsh now...

Totally agree! Not in English, maybe in Sumerian...but in general I share your ideas

MemberOvomorphApr-21-2012 8:24 AMi would imagine David could easily be used as a mouthpiece for communication by any advanced civilisation
