Hello everyone. I just recently signed up and look forward to many great discussions about this fascinating film! Thought I'd start off with an interesting piece of information about a certain day of shooting in Iceland from the recent issue of Entertainment Weekly. The interviewer asked Ridley Scott about the scene that was being filmed, one apparently involving Theron and Rapace running from some kind of "monster that will be conjured on a hard drive later". Hard to say exactly what this means, of course, but I'd say it's worthy of further discussion.

Is that perhaps the scene they would have shot there of them both running away from the alien ship that is crashing over on top of them? That would have been an out door Iceland shot with both of them running that we have seen in the trailers. I remember going to an Iron Maiden gig in Iceland and thinking as soon as we saw the landscape that the place just looks like another planet..so barren and, well....reminiscent of the moon or similar.... great choice (for a second choice apparently)

@Spartacus - You're very welcome. I picked it up on a whim last night and was somewhat surprised to read that, despite the obvious snakelike creature revealed in the International Trailer recently. I can't help but think that old Ridley has more aces hidden in his sleeve than he's letting on. Nice avatar, by the way. :) @Mithra - Yes, it very well could be. The author of the article mentions the fact that this was during the outdoor shoot in Iceland, with Ridley admitting that the scene was the one where "all hell's about to break loose". Having admittedly never been to Iceland and relying only on images for my opinion, I agree wholeheartedly.

....yeah it's the scene where they both running from the juggernaut as it crushes down.....I so hope Vickers does not die.....but it seems like it may be her exit..............noooooooooooo!......i mean just from those images where she is lying on her back in the sand and she has both her arms crossed like she is trying to fend of something....that image is a major spoiler....tho maybe the ship bounces over her or something or perhaps it's from a different scene....not that I ever expected her character to survive.......it's just sad still.....the only character besides Shaw that i actually care about!

You're probably right, Juxtapose. The word 'monster' might just be Ridley Code for that very scene. I'm hesitant to say at this point that I hope Vickers doesn't bite the big one. She seems very icy and shadowy in her motives. I've often thought--given Weyland and his industry's penchant for replication--that she might an android, programmed to accomplish whatever task is given to her. Just a theory, of course. I don't truly know.

I'd love to see something resembling a cthulhu old one chasing them across an alien landscape, wouldnt want it in detail, just something terrifying, unlike a rickety xeno
