Fox has released a couple of new images today via the New York Times. The pictures aren’t very revealing but they are definitely worth a look.
In a more interesting note, Fox has also released a new ‘Audio Puzzle’ today. It’s a very intriguing audio which appears to feature one of the characters being attacked by some sort of Alien creature. According to the news site were Fox published the audio, “your assistance is needed” to decode the message. If you’re curious to know what the audio says, please check out the comments on this post. Be aware of spoilers.
You can listen to the audio and see the new images below:
There is no doubt that they think of us as inferior - but what the person route kind of caught my attention, because if they don't know who we are or what we are, and if would could be a potential threat left alone, then what are we to make of the starmaps on Earth? If it wasn't them, or no one of them that left behind the influence, then the visit is highly unexpected.
I highly doubt that. I think they think of us as very infearier and weak. But I'm sure they view us as a slight threat. Lol.
I'm a huge fan of Scott's work... and I think Prometheus will be a real great sci-fi flick...
But many things I've seen so far don't seem that groundbreaking and new as people say... especially when they're saying how original this take on von Däniken's theories are... or the cliché of the hardened "suit - person"...
Doon't get me wrong, I still have very high hope for this movie and since it's Ridley, I'm sure we'll get an amazing movie... but to see things like "...30 years in the making" and stuff like that just makes it seem so blown out of proportion...
that's another thing worrying me... so many current trends can be spotted in the movie... it's not bad per se, but since it's Ridley's first sci-fi movie in a long time, I want to see some fresh stuff... something that could rejuvenate sci-fi...fine: show us zombies, show us terraforming gods, show us facehugging creatures, show us acid, show us aliens coming out of humans... but please show me something that is as memorable as the chestburster was in 1979 as well...
Maybe that is the point -- Scott's take on some old archetypes (something Roland Emmerich knows about).
so it's true... they mutate after coming in contact with this biomechanic lifeform pattern... I'm not really liking this idea...
Kane lost consciousness because of the alien atmosphere getting to him once his suit was compromised, and he was overcome quickly, but if he'd had Dallas and Lambert with him in a breathable atmosphere his fate would have sounded a lot like that.
The panic and the near crying with pain and horror is what makes it so unnerving, especially raw and without music.
Thats whats left of his skull after he had it burnt off!
Totally making my friends who haven't been following this at all go with me.
"I don't wanna touch it!"

It sounds like a college fraternity hazing caught on tape.
isn't she only vomiting?
Yeah, i think to now.
Is that Shaw? Looks more like Ford to me. Note the Bob style haircut.
I'm fairly certain that Shaw is impregnated with an alien creature after having sex with Holloway.
I've got a feeling that after Holloway is infected, his health, somehow miraculously regenerates. His broken arm heals etc. This will more than likely will be the key which causes Vickers to revive Weyland from cryo.
What they are yet unaware of, is what is lurking deep inside Holloway's newly mutated DNA...
Shaw got the "baby". Probably from Millburn.Edit: That is not Shaw, but Ford.

Mutated Fifield. I think that guy, who is stand face to face with one of the Prometheus crew member, whos face is reflect on his helmet is Fifield, and after he back, he is start to slaughtering his mate.
Fifield, Milburn and Holloway rouse the Snakehugger from the black oily depths.
Milburn being the curious botanist, gets closer to it. Fifield is paranoid and scared to go near it. Holloway is a douche jock and reaches out to touch it. Snakehugger grabs onto his wrist and starts to slowly coil itself around his lower arm. Holloway is, at first, fascinated. He then tries to shake it loose. It won't budge. He then grabs at it. It gets tighter and tighter. He shouts for Fifield to try and prize it loose. He won't go anywhere near it. Milburn tries to help, but the creature gets tighter and tighter to the point where Holloway's arm breaks. Now its serious. Fifield has no choice but to help. He removes a knife from his belt and cuts the creature, acid blood spurts from the wound onto his helmet. Fifield stumbles back. Milburn panics. The creature, realising it is under attack, quickly reveals its head and, like a cobra, spits a huge glob of acid directly onto Milburn's helmet, which causes the glass to dissolve into his face. The Snakehugger then writhes its way into Holloway's suit and burrows itself into his skin...

If you look closely at the pixels, you can see a second mouth inside that mouth.

I am sure that it is both Milburn and Fifield (mohawk guy) in the same scene. Others have varying opinions - like that the two helmet melting scenes are from two different parts of the movie.
The person who gets severely burned is Milburn most likely, the guy with glasses. We say that because you can see he has a yellow name band above his head (something that Fifield doesn't have) and the person has glasses, something only Milburn wears.
Milburn is messing with Fifield tryin to coax him to come closer or something to check out the snake-thing, and Holloway comes by to check on them and gets grabbed. Milburn tries to keep Holloway calm, who's trying to get the others to help him get it off, with Fifield being adamant in not touching it. Finally he gets the courage to do it, and all hell breaks loose (literally).
Short and sweet- snake gets cut, acid hits Milburn full on (melting his face) while Fifield gets grazed or something(infecting him slowly), snake crawls into Holloway and the shock of it all they forget that its in him.
Idk thats just my opinion, i realize it has some loopholes but eh
Oh - thanks a lot! That makes a lot of sense actually if that is a skull. I was wondering anyways what the scene might be all about, and now a good possible explanation. Again, thanks!

Do you know who that is or where they say it, or a photo? I am just curious because I haven't seen anything like that.
You also notice his nose and his mouth has pretty much melted away. This thing gets cut gets into his helmet spraying acid and the poor guy gets his face burnt right off.
Someone said they saw a skull reflected in the helmet of another crewmember as a casulty is being handled near the Prometheus ramp. I think its Milburn alright he's not had a good death.
A virus doesn't sustain itself at all. It has no metabolism whatsoever. It is just a put of genetic info floating around in a capsule. In colder areas, with not light, where there is very little chemical interaction, viruses can last a very long time.
They are like tiny pieces of machinery that, via their physical nature, are able to gain entry into cells and their genetic material without any energy expenditure. Once there, they can insert themselves into that cell's genetic machinery whereby the cell will be granted new functions; primarily those are to produce additional copies of that virus, (and also, if you are into biological jargon, to reduce class I MHC surface receptors on the cell, receptors that let other cells of the immune system know that it is virally infected, and signal an antiviral state and subsequently apoptosis of that cell, but this has no possible link to Prometheus anways).
Because that snake/worm in Prometheus does move - it has a metabolism, and thus cannot be classified as a virus. Nevertheless, it can have other properties like a virus, in that it uses other living things' machinery to propagate its own offspring, at one cycle or another. In some rare cases, viruses have been known to mind control ants to walk around the tops of leaves, increasing their chances to be eaten by cattle. This is interesting because the virus need cells in the cattle's intestines to multiply. However, they can only last there for so long before being cast out in the cattle's feces. It is from the feces that the ants become infected in the first place. If you want, you can think about it in a way that the snake/worm can be a kind of parasite (all viruses are intracellular parasites anyways) that can lie perfectly dormant without a metabolism until primed by signs of life. This way they can inhabit a ship or whatever for essentially forever - until life comes by.
This is essentialy my theory on Alien being alive for very long time.

Also bearing in mind for the flow of the film, Shaw has a confrontation with the Engineer and the Big Tendril thing whilst seemingly on the Prometheus, or a possible second ship (Magellan?). If she was fighting the Engineer on the Prometheus, she had to leave and get dirtside somehow to be there when Janek rams the Juggernaut and strands Shaw and Vickers.
But, I guess if they were engineered to not to need to consume, food, so to speak. Then that could maybe work, with them only needing to absorb the nutrients out of the air like bacteria or VIRUS, or some stuff like that. Because a virus can sustain its self for long periods of time without a host, correct?
Damn, I just answered my own question.. Lol.
The only piece of dialogue we've heard from Milburn "errr come in Prometheus" is spoken in Rafe Spall's natural British accent in Featurette 2. We've already heard Sean Harris, whose is the American accent in the audio puzzle? It may just be a mess up from Spall but the character getting the squeeze definitely doesn't like Spall's usual voice.
Yes, good point.
I do think that Shaw, who returns to the Prometheus from two trips out then has to go back so that she's in position over the juggernaut when it launches.
[/quote]
I am assuming that she goes out there to stop the engineers, because she is on to what they are up to (kill earthlings one way or another). Prometheus goes up to go home, so Shaw takes the lifeboat down to the surface. Then as she tries to get to the alien structure, the alien bay doors open up below and she has to run around them. The ship rises and a debate arises as to what to do. Vickers says:"Take us home!"
Then Shaw, outside the ship radios in "If you don't stop it, there won't be any home to go back to!"
Captain Janek decides to do the right thing and kamikaze the ship into the Juggernaut. Vickers frantically runs to the escape pods. Both her and Shaw are on the surface when the Juggernaut falls to the ground. They run for their lives.
What happens next?

That sounds like a good flow. Seems to me there are two escapes from the Prometheus - the shuttle craft seen in trailers plus the smaller pod Vickers ejects in - looks like close to last minute possible before collision. Or am I mixing the two up?
Also - cut out the trail - it was getting long!
you love it to be spoiled?
after hearing this audiopost i guess, this movie belongs maybe to the horror-genre.
Nice.
What I would give to see those last few minutes.
You manually edit the text as you're responding. You can also click "insert quote" when you're posting a reply.
We do know that the last bunch of minutes of the film were not given to the editors of the trailers. So the climax is completely unspoiled.
There are two other events we need to account for - Shaw's "surgery" and her encounter with one of the alien beings (I'm not going anywhere near the mutated crewmember idea).
I see the surgery occurring after the second trip. Later she takes RTO1 (scene in trailers where she agressively reverses) and heads out again. But the ground opens up to allow the juggernaut to take off and she gets out. Prometheus takes off, Vickers escapes and the ships collide.
Now, the encounter with the alien being either occurs before the Prometheus takes off (why has this creature come aboard?) or it occurs in the wrecked lifeboat after the juggernaut crash - he comes after the folks who pranged his shiny spaceship.
I don't know either way. I think we need to have a climactic third act on the planet involving Shaw and Vickers and a possible survivor of the juggernaut crash, none of which has been seen in the trailers.

i'm actually going to take a bold opposition here and say it might actually be fifield, for two reasons, and Not milburn.
in the latter scenes of them returning to the ship, we see one helmet that is badly damaged, and that helmet from what we can tell consistently belongs to fifield, but clearly they remove the acid burned part later.

reason 2: everyone says they are glasses but are they?? LOOOK very very closely. notice two things: theres no sign of the metalic hat with the yellow name band across the head, it looks more like fifields bald tattoo'd head.
as far the glasses: Notice, at the bottom of the victims nose is another very dark equally strong 'line' which sort of strobe the bottom of the nose. i think the other line which is going accross the bridge of the nose, is being mistaken for glasses. look very carefully at the rest of the bur nmakes on the helmet, it matches theses lines and i think that dark line just happens to look similar to the bottom edges of glasses but one other thing worth noting, is that if it was caused by glasses, the impression would be more 'complete' but its not. its just the bottom area of the 'imaginary glasses' that we can make an impression of.
i also just don't think the alien creature would be fickle about a victim like this, i think it picks fifields and thats it (when it comes to going inside the suit i mean)
i think the 'cut it off' line sounds a bit more fifield to me too.
anyway, heres a photoshopped image ot make my case
perhaps it never goes into fifields suit and all his burns are just from acid.
i just realised though that im forgetting the scene with the mouth 'burster' maybe it is milburn.
