There’s a new interview with Charlize Theron who talks a little about her character. There’s some new footage involving her too. The video originated on a French website but has since been removed. You can watch it below:
You can also download it here. Thanks to seeeasea and Space Sweeper for the news.
Are you suggesting the second android is .. (dramatically takes glasses off) .. a replicant?
Yeah - at the end David asks if she wants some tea and she kind of pushes his head sideways with her hand. I think this was posted already.

Yeah with the new clips I am liking her a lot more now too. Before she just seemed like a regular suit - but now she has really come to life and looks like a really interesting character.
I don't think Vickers is an android. It wouldn't make sense to have 2 androids at different levels.
Not only that, Ridley has stated that he's not interested in rehashing a twist that's been done already. That's why David was revealed to be an android from the very beginning.
Charlize mentioned that her character starts opening up more towards the end. She's just somebody who wants to do her job and she's cold on the surface but she's ultimately very human underneath.
Spoiler
I watched the clip and enjoyed the parallels between Vickers and Ripley in Alien, with both of them trying to keep the ship free of contamination. Vickers, of course, seems to be colder and have much more authority than Ripley did, but Ripley was prepared to make the hard choices, even though, as insinuated, she may have been romantically linked to Dallas.
I think that the movie is going to be very good by not being a duplicate of Alien, but there will be "echoes" where we know the danger facing them, and watch them walk right into it anyway.
Alfred Hitchcock (I think) once said the difference between shock and suspense is that you can show a man on a bus, and suddenly the bus explodes, and that's shock. But if you show the man on the bus, then the bomb, then people boarding the bus, the suspense builds, the audience gets tense.
Since this is clearly an Alien prequel, but it appears that the biology of the alien is different and there's no classic face huggers to be seen as of yet, we know that they're walking into something. Something bad that's going to turn into Alien.
Also, I have a strange, far out theory that I don't think I've seen mentioned yet about Vickers:
Spoiler
She's an android. A prototype, like Ash, more advanced than David. Having David be the bad guy is just too damn obvious, since they've tried to make him very creepy with the Weyland Industries promotional video, and have succeeded I mean really, to be creepier than Lance Henriksen?! You win one Internets and a basket of kittens. David's been promoted as so eerie and creepy that you'll just be waiting for him to "pull an Ash" and betray everyone on behalf of the Company (and you know that train is never late). So I think Vickers is an android and will be the Ash/Burke and David will turn out to be the good guy.
Call me crazy.....my shrink does.
Spoiler
it would explain why Shaw is on the ground.
Probably because her lover hit her to the ground or something.
*Prepares to scratch out eyes*
But I don't want to put that much together, honestly.
Thinking like smart people, here, we have to first admit that Ridley isn't going to release jack shit that spoils jack shit. He's probably just having a blast with the little bits and pieces they've arranged and rearranged to permanently send inquisitive fans into fits of confusion.
We're all still apparently trying to make sense of the trips out and back, and how what we think we know can fit together in some sort of logical, and timely, progression...

Spoiler
So that was apparently on the first trip out, then everythings cool and they go bone, then he goes back out when more people get jacked up/infected, and Vickers gets all 'he's a creeper ass alien mutant spy, and he's gonna screw our entire ship' and lights him up?
No spoilers, please, just a general nod to whichever direction applies if you feel like replying.

Hmm, it appears that you're correct. My apologies.
I got this "news" from 'Ain't It Cool', who only just posted it a few hours ago. I should have known better, that site is a f**king joke!
Having said that, I honestly wasn't aware that

Yeah and ...
Spoiler
Interesting that they've changed the angle when she flames Holloway.
Spoiler
There may be be four trips to pyramid/ship.
Spoiler
1. Initial exploration
2. Second exploration (against Vickers wishes with Ford present and Holloway's infection)
3. Third exploration (possibly to ship with Ford's demise and the loss of David)
4. The final visit by Shaw to battle whatever is out there ( I am betting that Vickers perishing from the falling debris, kind of an ironic death for one proclaiming that Prometheus was her ship)

This is from the Origin featurette video, he is so wrong when he took off his helmet.

Yeah - that could be anybody. He doesn't have the typical scruff on his face.
BTW - there is a download link there with a download button if you wanted to snatch it. Othewise the IMDB player is best.

Question is at which time out is this ?
but before that there is another team with Holloway,Fifield,Milburn and some others like that woman Kate dicikie (or whats her name) and they left without Shaw for some devious reason.
But then shit happens in the temple and they get fck up.
Thats the only way i can see how Fifield is also infected that fast.
And the Ridley can have is moment of shock because Vickers will burn Holloway without remorse.
Something like that?
Just watched the trailer again.

Everything i said was complete crap according to these pictures,
i was soo wrong.
Im confused lol
Yeah, she should let whoever it is back on the ship so he can infect the others. It might be too late at that point but she doesn't know it yet.
Sacrifice one to save many?
or
Let person live and potentially have everyone die?
It must be the mohawk guy that is holding Shaw down.
Hope Shaw beheads that f**king bitch with that axe in the end after she "deals" with the engineer, or after the engineer deals with her...
That being said, we know the rest of the landing party is in that scene. I don't think they'd stand around letting Fifield bum rush Shaw.
I really have to stop watching all these videos. But seeing Vickers as such a badass burning some poor fella to protect her ship really excites me for her character, and what'll she be like.
Man, I'm going to spoil the whole damn movie at this rate
That's defnitely shaw being held down, but who is holding her down? David?
