The "Red suit" is in Ridley´s office LOL

"LOL", is right. I couldn't work that thing out. It can't be for a human unless as a sick joke. I pity the human being who'd be able to wear that thing, or move in it if they ever got inside - the proportions are all wrong and look at the hips/legs region!...Ridiculous.

A suit for Tyrion Lannister?? LOL

@Zedwardson You mustn't go there...

Maybe it's just a special suit with extra space for Sir Peter Weyland's nappies... [IMG]http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/1750/redsuit1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/4500/redsuit2.jpg[/IMG]

It's Holloway's deep sea diving suit. Check out the script shot in the latest featurette. Holloway is arguing with Vickers about having to alter the manifest to get it onboard Prometheus and she is asking him why he really thought he would be deep sea diving in the first place. Figuratively, in the film, since it's behind Shaw as she flees from her C-section, it represents Holloway, who likely got Shaw pregnant with the creature. Literally, I think, it's a nod or inside joke reference to James Cameron, since he's such a huge fan of the deep blue sea.

@Outlander OK, "prop", only makes sense - but it seems a quite elaborate prop. You'd think, if they went that far, they'd make it look a little more like it was actually useable...unless the plain idiocy of it is part of the little joke - Meeow! *scratches for eyes*

"It can't be for a human unless as a sick joke. I pity the human being who'd be able to wear that thing, or move in it if they ever got inside - the proportions are all wrong and look at the hips/legs region!...Ridiculous." Have you ever seen a modern atmospheric diving suit or a hard-shell space suit? They look just like that. And since they're designed to maintain a constant volume of air at a pressure of one atmosphere on the inside they're apparently quite comfortable and maneuverable, despite their appearances to the contrary. It's precisely the requirement of constant air pressure that necessitates the weird, circular joints.

@juston And if I [i]had[/i] seen a modern atmospheric diving suit or hard-shell spacesuit? What then? What do you imagine the value in your terrible presumption would be? I have seen modern atmospheric diving suit or hard-shell spacesuits. You took the trouble to copy it, but did you, in fact, read what I said? This item is obviously intended to be suggestive of the principle of atmospheric diving suit or hard-shell spacesuits - but they do [i]not[/i] look, "just like that" - hence the element of comedy that you appear to have missed. You are, clearly, a person who knows great deal about modern atmospheric diving suit and hard-shell spacesuits - with that, I must confess a little surprise at your position. I'd like to suggest that you take another look at it - observe it's proportions and the relative distances between such features as its waist and crotch and also the distance between the legs... I'd be obliged if you could then enlighten me as to which of the Worlds contortionists or Rickets sufferers you think most likely to be comfortable in it.

@ allinamberclad Google newtsuit Yes it is quite elaborate for just a background piece. Perhaps Shaw ends up having to wear it like Ripley did at the end of Alien, as a means of escape.

Ouch, did I really deserve all that? I honestly thought I was introducing you to something cool. I wasn't implying you're ignorant or stupid or anything. And I am legitimately sorry if you thought I meant it that way. "I'd be obliged if you could then enlighten me as to which of the Worlds contortionists or Rickets sufferers you think most likely to be comfortable in it." Probably the same ones that could fit into these... [img]http://i47.tinypic.com/30maahc.png[/img] I know they don't look [i]identical[/i], this is a fictional hard suit after all. So you didn't have to get over-literal with me there. I was referring to the ungainly, circular joints that don't always line up one-for-one with human joints that both employ. Anyways, sorry again for upsetting you to the point of flaming me. I didn't mean anything by it. We always seemed cool with each other in other threads, I really hope this doesn't become the way we communicate from now on.

@Outlander I'm familiar with the Hardsuit - (observe it's proportions....). Anyhow: I wouldn't like that at all - for a start it would be too much like Alien. Plus, I'm starting to like the idea of it just being a little "Director" joke.

@juston No - they [i]don't[/i] look identical; and that [i]is[/i] the point. And it didn't read as if you were trying to be generous in the least bit - not to me: so let's not do that. Lets do this: whatever it is, it's done - and it is now forgotten.

How did it read? What I wrote was a series of facts about atmospheric diving suits with special attention paid to how weird they look, for you and anyone else who cared to read it. Yet again I'm sorry for that seeming like I was jumping on you but I refuse to feel sorry about whatever this is we're doing right now. You're treating me like shit for no reason. I'm not going to just give you a pass on that because you said it's forgotten right after you tried to get your last digs in on me. Screw that.

"Literally, I think, it's a nod or inside joke reference to James Cameron, since he's such a huge fan of the deep blue sea." That's a neat idea!
