Nice find buddy! 

@Fleshvessel; You're very welcome! Here is the link to Sergey's site again. It will make things a bit easier:

Tadaaaaaa !

Just saw the same thing as you, while having a real good time amongs the pics on the site ;)

Awesome! Thanks Granolaboy! That's the one.

Nice find. Where's his feet ??

Ok at the 54:27 mark of the film there is a huge pile of dead Engineers. The one Millburn is pointing at clearly has the chest busted wide open. So WEeeee Know what happened.

Well all righty then LOL. These engineers were running from a massive infestation of aliens. However, cause Scott did not want this movie in any way to have anything to do with another "Alien" film these overterly obvious scenes in the flight chamber were cut because I think Scott was trying to stay ture to his original intent with this new film. Plus I think there are still people in some part of the world without civilization that have not seen the other films yet so Scott wanted no spoilers on this film...I can't type this with a stright face LOL.

I want to add that this should have been a very hard "R" film and Scott had way more then enough money to film this to scare us so bad if we even read the word Engineer we would have to run out the room screaming!....I remember the first Alien movie gave me nightmares for weeks. There were grown people running out the theater that I saw it in when I was in the sixth grade. People were falling asleep in this film and when they woke up they looked refreshed and ready to go. LOL

these 'Engineers' are SO SMALL maybe they were just the Hitler Youth of their time period, kinder i.e. children.

Where's my twelve foot Engineers?

This is an interview with david fincher.

I quote from it the following when ridley asked fincher how it was going with the making of alien3:

'Ridley asked how it was going and I said ' really bad.'And he said 'it never goes well ....this is not the way to make movies, make sure you make a little film where you have some control whilst they are beating you up.
 I now wonder If fox just decided to make the engineers smaller to save money ?? Ridley perhaps wanted to go 12 feet and fox said no ?? From the above it seems Ridley actually had very little say in what prometheus turned out to be.

The concept art done for Prometheus, never ceases to blow me away. Why on earth they left most of those ideas out of the final film leaves me gobsmacked!

@Custodian, 12ft? Naw, 20-25 ft Ganeshas would surely have rocked! :-D

ps....and yes UGM!!!

@Oduodu.......Haha that Engineer's feet had a bad case of space cheese! The lone survivor chopped them off in anger, before going to cryo beddie-byes! 

Well all we can say is this movie has some colossal screw ups compared to the ideas and concepts and ideas from the scripts.....

The main disappointments for me was the lack of scale and also the contradictions, the movie in places just lacked coherent flow... and had many things going on with little connection well contradiction, i.e there was clues to a number of possible things going on and this is all Lindelofs style of Ambiguity he uses in Lost..

First of all lets look at the Chest Busted Engineers, as yes this image posted proves they was going for Chest Busted Engineers at the actual filming of the movie, and not just Script. Now the detail on the Engineer is lacking and has no feet lol, but its not needed as these Engineers will never been seen in detail ones the Cryo Pod lid is on and its broken glass, you will not clearly see the Engineers under it.

But this image does show they are indeed Chest Busted, which being as though this movie is in the Alien Franchise we can all safely assume means they was chest busted via some Organism related to the Xeno or the Deacon.

This adds a possibility to what could be chasing the Engineers, it could also mean some of the holes in the dead Engineers are puncture wounds caused by said Organisms....

But then we are left with a puzzle, that is why did the movie lead a lot of emphasis on an infection, and also the exploding head to send us down the route that maybe these Engineers suffered the same fate....

Yet we are also left with the what appeared to be Chest Busted Cryo Pods and that scream... that was like the Deacons....

While Lindeloff can pass this off as keeping the movie ambiguous and leaving us with no clear answer and only clues that can lead to more than one outcome... sometimes while i am a fan of ambiguity... (The Murals etc are Ambiguous) some things are just plain contradicting.

As it is now we can only guess that both a outbreak and a Chest Busting had occurred in what order who knows, and how the Last Engineer survived again, who knows...

Second onto the subject of Scale, this is my biggest gripe with the movie... and Ridley and Fox dropped a Bo Bo in Alien as well...

You see the idea was our Space Jockey was 26ft, and that by using a 16ft chair with a Space Jockey Prop and what up to 4ft tall Child Actors we would get the grand scale of a huge being, well the illusion would been 22-23ft tall not 26ft

When they switched to proper Adult actors up close we could see our Space Jockey was 15ft tops, and i recon he was about 13ft.

Switch to Prometheus the Drafts all went the way to show a 12-15ft race that coincide with the size of the Space Jockey, when they filmed the movie they could not get that sense of scale so revised the size and tried to create the Illusion of a 9-10ft tall Race of Engineers...

Sadly again this failed and all we was left with was 8ft Tops illusion...

In fact looking at the Chest Busted Engineer in that Cryo Pod we can clearly see those pods would never hold a 9ft being and the one lying dead is what 6.5ft Tops

IMO, this image answers the question of was and what was chasing the engineers down the tunnel. His upper torso is completely wide open, exactly like Bob's torso after he gives birth to the deacon. So, it appears that it was a deacon/s that was chasing them, NOT Giger Aliens, as a Giger Alien would have left a much smaller hole.

Maybe i'm getting a little ahead of myself here. Could it have been a Trilobite that burst from the deseased engineer?

WHY was this not filmed?

Hey Big Dave & Necro! ;)

We all understand why they left things out, not showing the Deacon in the hologram, just the sound of it. Burst cryo chambers etc. 

The logic was the audience will get it & we don't really want to show what has been done loads of times before. I think they just took this a bit too far & the end result is just messy!

Good point Necro!

But wouldn't it have been a Deacon bursting out of the cryo pods?

Ahhh wait.......i'm confused! :-D 

Good point Necro!

But wouldn't it have been a Deacon bursting out of the cryo pods?

Ahhh wait.......i'm confused! :-D 

@Lone; yeah, that does make more sense! I think that a trillobite would have a great deal of difficulty getting through the engineer's pressure suit. :)

But, where did the facehugger, that impregnated them, come from? Would it have been concieved like cuddles was? OR, did it come from an egg?
