[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."

@ Kronik - I couldn't find anything in the Twitter girl's "leaks" posted by Viscal about the "engineer" drinking something and melting. If I'm wrong, then I definitely want to see a link. I am still skeptical of anything Viscal posts on the web. However, as more and more details are released, this does seem to corroborate certain aspects of Viscal's leaks. On the other hand, Viscal seems like the kind of guy who scours the web looking for bits and pieces of the Prometheus film, and then tries to assemble a storyline based on these fragments.

Who in their right mind is buying this shit? Non disclosure agreements aside, does this guy have a career after this if he is telling it straight? Game plan is still working, JESUS what a con !

Before saying something like ""So, one of the so called reviews WAS right? Can't remember who it was now... Twitter Girl? Didn't she/he/it say the bald man drank something and melted?"" you have to SEARCH , COPY and PASTE proofs of that ...otherwise you just generate confusion .

@dutch For arguments sake... He's revealing something that occurrs at the very beginning of the movie 9 days before it premiers, what makes you think RS/ Fox wouldn't allow that? The shot of the blue guy changing has been around for months and they told us the engineers create life months ago as well.

Yes, it all fits. This is a supply depot for raw DNA substrates for use else where. The engineers serve several purposes, donation of viable DNA, maintain the depot, and possibly seed other planets when necessary. But who orders these folks around? That is the bigger question now!!!!!!

Harry Knowles from Ain't It Cool News is pretty good about posting any spoilers, and he always cites his sources or provides links or video clips. If it's not mentioned directly by him, and he's the Spoiler King IMO, then I pretty much discount it. Like NateBlitz said, Viscal is a well known troll, and I've seen him on just about every Prometheus forum out there. However, I don't necessarily hold the topic creator at fault for posting this. We've all been duped by certain spoilers at least once in our lives, so I'll give him a pass on this one.

Also, knowing this info is no more spoiler than have watching the 'The Dark Knight' prologues when they came out.... It's how the movie starts.... And Ridley Scott even spoke of the beginning of time sequence....

I gotta say that seems like a great spoiler ... and a great story ... My main concern, with the SJ/Engineers (before all these spoilers) was ... ok so they created us HUMANS but what about all the other creatures on our planet? ... millions of them ... now that 'melting' into the water idea just goes BOOM!!! ... and solves all my questions in one go ... FFS ... I love it ... Also a NOD to Darwin I believe? ... he wasn't to know an Alien planted a seed in the water ... :) ... Maybe Ridders is covering all possible corners of how we got here to please all Religions and theories??? ... Now I'm starting to get this movie and loving it bigtime ... see spoilers work in the opposite way for me ... AND ... SO ... that brings us back to the saucer people controlling the SJs? ... Would it be possible that the Squid creature is on the side of the Saucer people? ... therefore the TWO battles that were said to be going on in the movie? ... maybe the battle was still going on and we turned up unannounced and in the middle of it all ... ok scrap that paragraph lol ... too much :/ ... But ... if the SJs are the 'slaves' then all those URNS belong to the Saucer People and that takes me back to my [url=http://www.prometheus-movie.com/community/forums/topic/2616]Hyroglyphics Markings[/url] post about the Glyphs on the Urns ... so it must be ALL their creation then and NOT the SJs? ... Damn I'm getting stoked up now ... :) ... Great find Cain ...

Show me some evidence that "Viscal" is a troll. If anything's bullshit that is. Viscal aka NightRiderLoveProvider has been a solid source since I started browsing various Prometheus related sites for info. Even if the twitter conversation is with a troll, that doesn't make Viscal a troll. Evidence please.

RS would personally go over this guys flat and shoot him for giving away something like this. No way this is true unless they told this actor he wasn't getting paid for his work and did this as a disgruntled former employee.
