Horror movie news website Bloody Disgusting has posted something very interesting. They claim that Ian Whyte (AvP, AvP Requiem) will be playing one of the Engineers in Prometheus. It is rumoured that we will see multiple Engineers and it’s no secret that the beings are massive. I’m just a bit surprised we didn’t hear about this sooner.
In Twentieth Century Fox’s Prometheus, arriving in theaters June 8, one of these Space Jockeys is referred to as “The Engineer”. While there are said to be multiple engineers, Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report that Ian Whyte will portray one of them. He will soon be referred to as our “creator” or “God”… Whyte also worked in costume as the Predator in both Alien vs. Predator films. We’ll hopefully have more soon as there are quite a bit of interesting rumors surrounding this casting. We’ll work on confirming before we report back.
In other news, there’s a new interview with Charlize Theron over on TotalFilm. She says she plays the villain in the film and you’ll find out she has an agenda in the third act. There’s another interview with writer Damon Lindelof on LA Times. He doesn’t give much away, unfortunately.
i know, i was just pointing out that the words can have a similar meaning and its this ambiguity that led to imdb and other sites listing two actors as playing space jockey/god engineers when in reality theyre playing human mechanic/engineers like brett and parker...
imdb since had to change the listing after realising the mistake but it has caused a lot of confusion among fans.
thanks

can be different and can also be one and the same if youre a mechanical engineer!.
all depends on the context of both words/jobs.
thanks
rich
engineer and mechanic are quite different jobs...excuse me if i'm wrong...
So are all these actors that have been labelled such, just another couple of blue-collar workers like Parker and Brett?
Space Jockeys and Giger spaceships. That's why it's on here.

A Ridley Scott film that returns to sci fi, and ties to A L I E N is a very big deal indeed. The sequels and the unrelated Predator franchise pale by comparison.
The cast is excellent, and they have all said how compelling they found the script. That is enough to convince me that this is the must see film of the year. It is not about visual effects, although clearly a film with the visual grandeur of A L I E N is going to be stunning to see.
Speculation is fun I guess, but when people start to dismiss a film based on speculation alone I find that a bit ridiculous. Citing all the films in the Alien and Predator franchises as well written compared to Prometheus is clearly odd, to say the least.
He was the only thing in that movie that make me give the movie 1 point from 10 instead of 0 from 10 on my personal scale.
why do people still think that space zombies are the basic premise of a ridley scott show? you guys are friggan idiots theyve already shown dead spacejockeys there are confirmed space jockeys why is that so hard to comprehend
Your point makes no sense though. Although this isn't a direct story prequel it is in fact related to the Alien universe. So it does have a place on this forum.
You have made your entire opinion based on the possibility that the space jockey is the bald guy. btw its 50/50 of it being the space jockey. Not 95% as you said in your post. The bald guy either is or isn't the space jockey. 95% from a very short 1 second clip of the bald guy standing in the chair room? (who may i add was also in the wheelchair in the medi room short with the woman collapsing). Thats no way a 95% indication that he is infact the space jockey.
P.S You kinda make out that predator has a well written script which i don't agree with to be honest
What makes you think that he will infect other people and turn them into his kind? Do you have anything that supports your claim?
I think it's going to be awesome. We are not in the position of judging it by a trailer, 1:10 minutes long.
I know right, Stupid Zombies.
But seriously, cool story bro!

I think so too. His face kind of reminds me of Ian's.

I took it as multiple engineers as multiple Jockey's. ?
Well we don't know that for sure. There could be multiple engineers for different purposes.
The Engineers are Space Jockey's.
Or use THE Force....
And use force if necessary
Take a case of beer and a Dictaphone.

And who is the guy IN the chair in Alien....
