Alternate Fifield headshot(new to me)

Yeah they all look pretty neat as far as Concept goes. Ridley did say they had to tone down the Xeno DNA a little in the movie, i forgot which interview that came from. But i think its a valid point and just as i said, and that is they decided to ditch the other more Xeno DNA Fifields so as that the movie does not contain too much Alien Xeno DNA apart from the process that creates the Deacon which starts with Shaws Baby.

How much of that mutation can be accredited to worm dna also coming with the xeno dna ?

@ xenomorph the original alien had ocular and nasal cavities like a human skull, but the "dome" was described by ridley as a jelly filled receptive organ similar to an eyeball.. but may/can have the sence of hearing, smell, taste, and sight.... and perhaps more. i notice in all of the sequels the "dome" has become a hard exoskeleton shell. i prefer the original jelly filled eye/ear/sinus organ myself. i think it is more unique. the whole hard dome idea makes me see the alien more as just a big bug rather than a unique alien species. they seemed to push that ides in aliens when they referred to them as a bug more than once.

I reckon that shot of the CGi mutated Fifield face on looked awesome - mutating and freaking out in a huge rage under his helmet/head would have really upped the tension of that scene. I think after all the other CGI magic etc, the prosthetics on Fifield in the movie just look a bit low-rent and very unfinished

Please, Mr Scott, explain, "What was the reason for axing all those 'alternate Fifield' shots?" was it a case of 'perceived misidentity' on behalf of THE VIEWER? was there a 'transform scene' that would have bridged the gap? was Fifield always envisioned in this EXTRA-DEFORMED state? why kill all those fx shots done before end of deadline? PS: where does that xeno-fifield shot come from? Are there others on the net?

WOW. I really love the look that they did not go with! I really wish that they went with it. And as almost everyone has said, I really hope that this is included in the "Directors cut". And I hope that it come's out with the main release of the film. I do not want to have to buy this a year later when the extended cut comes out.

I really want to see this now

Me too MVMNT...

This would have been really good. What a pity. In a "mars attacks" kinda disturbing way.
