In this shot from the Featurette (iTunes), the sarcophagus/Engineer stasis module is translucent and there is clearly a body still in there.
The translucent covering has been exploded from the inside. This implies that a 1979 xeno (or similar) was born from this individual.
I assume that this means that the Prometheus crew can likely see that one of them (without a hole) is either in there still or that it is empty and infer that there may be a 4th "somewhere else on the premises.” This seems quite important to me.

Do you think that this translucence has been intentionally obscured in post-production in the other trailers, and that this was an oversight (including this shot in the featurette)? Or, is the lighting just very different in all the rest of the shots.
Keep in mind that this is just the actors moving around on set during down time. The cameras don't appear to be rolling.
PS: David is kind of cute in the oversized chair.

MemberOvomorphApr-26-2012 4:57 PMI think those modules aren't sarcophagus, but a place where the engineers keep their suits.
Have you heard of phoenix asteroids?
They glow in every color of the rainbow...they travel endlessly through space...

MemberOvomorphApr-26-2012 5:02 PMi vote cryo chamber, or some kind of sleepy place, smack bang in the nerve centre of the ship by the looks of it, ready for action as soon as some pink-skinned devils arrive unannounced.

MemberOvomorphApr-26-2012 5:33 PMI agree with Windood , if you zoom in you can clearly see a pretty good shot of the suits standing in the entrance.

MemberOvomorphApr-26-2012 9:56 PM@sukkal,
Great post!! Yes, so based on prior posts Gem]n[ did, that would imply a living fourth, somewhere. As someone else noted, we may have arrived on a very old crime scene.

Or a very old scene of the arrival to the ship of 3 xeno newborn cousins. I'm not sure what kind of court would classify that a "crime" unless the impregnating were done by another Engineer intentionally. What is that? Esophageal penetration in the first degree?

MemberOvomorphApr-27-2012 2:17 AMhmmm... whats odd is the "baby" that burst our should have been in cryo too if those are cryo pods right?
i wonder why the parasite would still be awake i thought being frozen in a chamber stopped the progression of most things growth like parasites, diseases, and aging.

MemberOvomorphApr-27-2012 2:26 AMSomeone has made the observation that the upper portion (around the chest) of 3 of the 4 cryo-tubes hints at the exit of "chestbursters". Out of their chest and right through the glass cover.

MemberOvomorphApr-27-2012 2:49 AMthats what i was sayin, if they were in cryo sleep the chest bursters shouldnt have been awake to pop out of the 3 tubes.

I really hope we get some outtakes after release showing them goofing around the sets. Would love to see a shot of Fassbender sitting in the big chair swinging his feet like a toddler.
