[url=http://www.prometheusnews.net/movie/daniel-twiss-engineer/]Prometheus News Net[/url] A great article about the actor playing an "Engineer"....he reveals his character, so be warned....has some SPOILERS in it. " We have seen the virals, the teasers and the trailers. We have seen the alien life forms and the spacecraft from Scott’s Alien. What information can you give us on your character as the ‘Space Engineer’? " In the original Alien, the crew encounter the ‘Space Jockey’, now known as an ‘Engineer’ (the name for the alien race) however, as this is a semi-prequel, the ‘Engineers’ have a much bigger part to play. My character is that of a fairly young ‘Engineer’ who ritualistically sacrifices himself in the opening scene. This sacrifice is very different to any others as I have to drink an ancient mix which causes my body to literally disintegrate into the water around me. This then provides the first building blocks for new life to form on the alien planet. There are two other ‘Engineers’ who are in the rest of the film and have fairly large parts, but you will have to wait for release to find out more."

This confirms that the tall blue/grey man are the engineers/space jockeys

Just as some dude in another thread claims the squid monster heralds the end of "new sci-fi", we have this tid-bit that basically confirms our suspicions regarding the Engineers. This is absolutely awesome. Some big, heady ideas and a great big monster to boot. Absolutely cannot wait now. 9 days...

Well that gives away the Sacrefice part... so he goes and decides to use himself to create life on Earth...... There goes the BS that some so called screeners claimed that the Engineers are not who created but Banana Head Gods ;) And it also looks like it answers that the Engineers did in this Story give this planet life.... but also not that the altered life but that they created it. The full cast list had Danny James as the Actor, he has had a number of small parts in movies etc and is known for Zoot from the Tribe.... [img]http://static.flickr.com/39/83625780_7cbfeb7035_o.jpg[/img] His face is near enough Spot on for the Satue Head... and the FX Magazine in France said the Specially Effects guys said they molded a cast off someones head and used that for face of Engineer and used a normal size Actor for the close ups and scenes when Engineer is not interacting with Humans.... So that all added up... But this interview above claims that Daniel Twiss (stage name: Daniel James) plays the Engineer... So i guess i was wrong in my connection i thought i made for who Daniel James was... [img]http://static.lookbooks.com/files/profile_media/4a73c74e-13d4-4850-94d3-19354b7db902/lg_4a73cf71-24d8-492b-8e26-2a4c4b7db902_1249103729_0.jpg[/img] To me though, the more well known Actor as opposed to Model, looks more like the Statue than the one who is apparently the Engineer... Oh well..... i think that the Zoot Actor would have fitted better, mind you my two links i would have given to explain Alien without making movie a prequel i feel would be better than what Lindelof's efforts or lack of will be.

I get it now, that huge head is a tribute to him then, now that makes sense. It was because of him they created life and now they remember him for what he has done....pretty cool...

Guess that made me a "sacrifice teenager"... I drank things back then that made me dissolve into my surroundings too. But seriously- BigDave this may prove the engineers do in fact answer to another race after all. I doubt the engineers would destroy one of their kind just to create something new without being made to do it?

True, I would see these guys as the workers, they are expendable and can be replaced. I mean if I had that power and I knew it was dangerous, I would have someone else do it. I can imagine that room is very dangerous where Shaw and Fifield gets deep throat, it is a rough environment, also, the top of the mountain has a skull shape on top....to me that means, stay away, dangerous! The skull and cross bones for poison, so this planet is a backwater planet, meant to be used as a storage facility, something happens, it is contained there. These Engineers that are there are like the custodians, the caretakers and this planet is their deployment, they are assigned to over look the facility.

That's awesome! It's also the LAST damn spoiler I'm reading. Too close now. Crazy that if that actor chooses, he can make a living for the rest of his life making convention appearances as the sacrafice engineer from Prometheus.

It's a re-imaging of the primordial soup idea The engineer is an additive to this, and we see all the life being created from it, which could be the black stuff

"Viscal" is a widely, well known troll, especially lately when it comes to [i]Prometheus[/i]... Even the 'Hitler Discovers Prometheus Is PG-13' video poked fun at him.... True, he does stumble upon some good stuff every now and then [b]BUT[/b] he's bull shitted a lot over the year also.... 'Twitter Girl' didn't mention anything about "melting", etc.... Besides, plenty of other things she said discredited her "viewing" also.... I'll see what I can find to back this up
