Holloway fried

centrosphere... I think that the space jockey head is found on trip #2. Because they seem to have the head with them right in the same scene above where Vickers torches Holloway. And yes... I may be wrong, SO wrong... as none of us have actually seen the film yet. It will be fun to look at these predictions after the film's release! :)

@RabidChinchilla...BINGO

OrganicLife... there is a clip about Vickers just released a day or two ago (there are soooo many trailers and videos now that you will just have to find i yourself)... but we actually see Vickers torch Holloway. YES we actually see it. No clever cuts that mean it might be someone else... we see Vickers torch Halloway. Trust me... it's gonna happen. In the trailers Holloway is visibly mutated and while Vickers and Ford hold him, he screams out with a non-human moan. My guess (yes a guess... haven't seen film yet afterall) is that after the first trip where David takes back some moving alien goo from an urn, he asks Holloway on Prometheus "What would you be willing to do to get your answers?", and Holloway responds "Anything and everything." that David is a naughty android and somehow infects Holloway with that little micro worm we see in Holloway's eye. Big things have small beginnings.

Ohhh... I didn't see that just a few comments above.... gameover man.... has added the scene I referred to where we see Holloway is burned. Does he die? I guess we shall see. The other thing... does this happen before or after the Fifield attack? If it happens after... then yes it seems very reasonable for Vickers to torch first and ask questions later.

Nope I'm not having it ... I don't reckon that's Holloway getting a suntan ... lol ... I reckon it's the mutated person (whoever it is ... Fifield? ... maybe even Millburn?) who rises up in front of the Mechanic, that Vickers is torching ... ;) ... There IS a scene change ... in the video ... that's all it takes ... so it can be ANYONE ;) ... you're ruling out people too quickly ...

After David sees the cobrahugger, he unpacks another David robot and sends him back in his place while he hides in the closet. When David2 encounters a live Engineer, we see David1 starts to quickly unpack David3....

@gameover man, Nice take. This has to be the scene following that one I posted...I think Vickers and Shaw develops some antagonism after that. I think it´s possible that David actually infects Holloway just out of scientific curiosity. @Gem]n[ I really don´t believe so. If you observe, there is ample space behind Vickers. This means that she is at the entrance of the ship´s hangar _ the same place were we can see her menacing Holloway. It would be a little too much to see her torching two guys in the same place...like her is the gatekeeper from Hell...

I don't have any doubt that this is where Holloway gets taken out, but I think the other guy is shot, not burned.

Fried.

@gemini...to be fair, with the evidence found, its really not "ruling people out too quickly", its just VERY convincing evidence. at this point, the burden is really on someone to show some proof of why thats NOT holloway getting toasted.

Ok ... I do hear you guys ... BUT ... who, then, is the bloke (or woman) who rises up in front of the mechanic, in the hangar (near outside)? ... :) ... if THAT ain't Holloway then there's your TWO people :) ... It's OK ... I'm on and off the fence on this one trying to gather evidence lol ... so I'm in two minds ;) ... As an observation ... where's the TRUCK (in the background) gone while Holloway is holding out his arms ??? ... :) ...

@gemini...I actually think that IS holloway rising up in front of the mechanic. i think he gets burned, collapses...a mechanic comes rushing out, calling Vickers every name under the sun, and running over to holloway. the rest of them get into a huge argument, mainly vickers and shaw, but you have to imagine that everyone is going to have something to say about this. meanwhile, while no ones paying attention, holloway turns into whatever it is we see, the mechanic turns around, and crunch, or splat, or rip, whatever this things preference is for slaughtering insignificant, naive characters. so i think holloway gets torched...not killed.

Are we sure that's Holloway? Throughout all the trailers and teasers he has quite noticeable stubble and I can't make any out from the clip or stills. Could it not be Emun Elliot's character "Chance" or someone else?

@diddley... It COULD be just about anybody, but the only thing backing up that its not Holloway is that "we cant be absolutely sure". but we [i]definately[/i] see holloway start turning that grey color down in the temple, then [i]definately[/i] see him getting worse after being helped off the rover(there is a shot of that where we can see his namecap somewhere in this jungle of threads), and we [i]definately[/i] see shaw seemingly concerned about whats about to happen to that person, and all of that points at that person right there being Holloway.

Shaw´s despair is the key. I believe the scenario traced by gameover man is credible. Vickers torches Holloway, he falls burning, altercation ensues and in a classic horror movie trick the bad guy literally resumes from the ashes and attacks. The something confronting the mechanic seems burned; it´s helmet is broken; and his face seems definitely not human anymore.

It's Holloway. When the first trailer with that scene of the weird looking gentleman with his hands outstretched came out, the image was blown up. The skull cap clearly said "Holloway" on it. I think that thread is on this board somewhere. Way, way back.... Fried Holloway, sounds delicious!

@gameover ... Yeah you got me so far mate ;) ... but I'm soldiering on :) ... @centrosphere ... Yes Shaw's despair gives it away too ... in THAT scene (only) for sure ;) ... I am NOT disputing that the scene with the guy with his arms wide open is not Holloway ... that is obvious (maybe lol) ... I can see his name plate fine on a hi-res image ... so I believe in THAT scene (or shot) it is Holloway ... simples ... It's the scene with Vickers TORCHING someone and the THING rising up to the MECHANIC that I'm working on :) ... I'm a bit dubious because like ALL of the scenes from ALL of the trailers they have ALL been chopped up (mashed up) to f*ck ... all out of sync and not in chronological order ... so I don't trust anything I see in the trailers anymore :/ ... until I see some sort of recognition on those 2 subjects, I just described, I'm not having it ... lol ... ;) ...

Gem]n[... I see your point with that scene with something/someone in front of the mechanic. Holloway? Fifield? Someone else? Evidence suggests Holloway, but you ae right... it's not 100% certain until we see the film.
