AvP Galaxy staffer, Ikarop, recently discovered via the Worldwide Production Agency that Neville Page will be doing concept art and costume design for Prometheus.
Page has worked on more than a few big projects over the past years including Cloverfield, Star Trek, Tron: Legacy and Avatar to name a few. Page is also working on the upcoming creature-feature Super 8. You can find Neville Page’s résumé here which confirms his involvement with Prometheus.
I like the way the top picture has a bit of stubble on it's neck
I'm happy that Neville Page is on board as I've grown to appreciate his work but I'm hoping his designs are a little more (I'm not sure if this is the word I'm looking for) 'gritty' than he's used to.

Giger's visual style is indeed something original. It's what made the series so amazingly creepy. (Well at least the projects he was involved in) It would be clear that Ridley would want to keep what worked for the original, Don't fix what aint' broke. However if Neville Page was hired also, there must be significant reason for him to be even considered.
TEASER POSTER / IMAGE NOW!! hehe
This.
To tell you the truth some of the concepts were pretty damn sweet; the final result was cool indeed, though it was generic for the most part.
I still hold that Clover is a fantastic design but I agree. The Alien IS HR Giger's ultimate creation, and as much as I like Page I'm not sure his style blends with Giger's. He's amazing at taking real animal traits and looks and making something new with them, but Giger's style is completly alien. There's nothing on this earth that is simllar to it.
He did some slick stuff for Avatar - and I do mean slick, all the creatures looked like they had car chassis for skin. Very synthetic. I'm sure he'll do good work. As long as Giger's on board I'm happy.
Its hard to tell if someone is a good designer for an alien, because there really is nothing like it. If they haven't worked on a xenomorph before, we wont know if it would be biomech. I have faith this guy will follow Gigers designs, but I wonder about the costumes.
I am offened. Clover is offended. YOUR WORLD WILL BURN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I second this... what the hell is going on with this movie. Either the above info is old news (though I admit its news to me) OR the so called sightings of "guys in blue alien suites" were bogus from the start. Its possible filming could have started without some custumes, they did it with the original film, but now all sightings and rumours have thrown any hopes we had for this film into chaos! Somebody really needs to clear this up, I dont know what to believe any more!!
Wow this just keeps sounding better and better!
Its been too long for fox to get it right. This should have been done in 1990/1991 when we already had 2 great films.
Completely forgot about this article but he never states they were officially working together at this point like the resume does.
And don't worry about the tense in my wording, predxeno.
seems promising even though Cloverfeild wasn't that good as i expected but anyways im sure he will do fine with Prometheus...
