A new still has been found on the Project Prometheus viral website. The password for the login page is DDM2DDM2DDM2AMAMAMBIGBIGBIGBMESMPP, aka Cosmic Call 2. A signal sent to HD 245409, Orion, and expected to arrive in August 2040. The picture shows the Prometheus crew as well as part of the ‘Pyramid‘ seen in the most recent trailers. Be sure to check it out below.
Thanks to Wolv1337 for the news.
Fracking LOL.
One can only hope
Thanks! That is what I was seeing. It can't be a coincidence. Ridley wanted to do this stuff in Alien, but was short on budget, so he can now do what he wanted to do, in regards to some of the concepts of Giger. I know the design was made after Alien, but Ridley is obviously still a big fan of his, and he is sneaking in this stuff for the fans!!! We haven't even seen the "monsters" yet.
Hopefully
You, Sir are just too fast
Wanted to post exactly the same pic compare.
Yep, it almost jumps to the eye. Hopefully there is more to this structure than pure rock.
Eitr is our maguffin then. we can make anything living from it!
Cvalda, just noticed your new Space Tapir image. Well done.
haha that was brilliant!
it looks very much like Ridley took Gigers design and added some Sphinx-style erosion - et voilà

Did Scott dig up Giger's old, unused designs? Giger worked on Alejandro Jodorowsky's version of Dune pre-Alien, and Ridley too worked on Dune after Alien, but left the project due to his brother Frank's death. Enter David Lynch. Anyhow, a return to Giger's old designs?
What does "Tell" stands for then?

...and, to boot, stipilated by the more large scope of information, rather than the one can find on Wikipedia!
About the temple's shape we can spot in the trailers, don't you count it's very similar in its exterior of early Giger's draft of Alien Eggs Silo, not to the Dune's structure design? I'm darn sure you have seen this picture before:

Will you exemplify it with screenshot?
i really hope the story will be something big, something really new and cool ...
i don´t want an event horizon, red planet, mission to mars or avp movie ..... I mean there is a lot of stuff in prometheus that reminds me of this movies ....
hope ridley won´t dissapoint us ..
Spoiler
Sir Ridley: The giant pygmies of Beckles?
Lindelof: Well, we could leave them out, if you want.
Sir Ridley: What about Old Testament stuff? We need Old Testament stuff...you know, Ezekiel and all that.
Lindelof: I thought we could save the Bible for the sequel. No sense in upsetting the Christians, Jews and quite probably the Muslims, at this point.
Sir Ridley: Hmm...not bad. I like your thinking. What about the Druid culture...you know, Stonehenge, standing stones, and all that?
Lindelof: Well, I thought that might be a bit to "English"...especially for the French market. As it is, they will be pissed I wasn't able to shoe-horn in the Carnac stones.
Sir Ridley: Well, what does Spaiht's think about the progress so far?
Lindelof: Ummm....well, I have been trying to get in touch with him, but apparently he has been on extended leave of absence, due to a serious flare-up of irritable bowel syndrome.
Sir Ridley: What...surely you can reach his secretary?
Lindelof: Err...umm...no, his secretary has suddenly come down with a slight case of hemorrhagic fever.
Sir Ridley: Well give me Spaiht's number.
Lindelof: It's unlisted...I mean, it has been disconnected. No, scratch that, I just remembered, he doesn't have a phone.
Sir Ridley: Well how the f**k to you communicate with him?
Lindelof: Carrier Pigeons.
Sir Ridley: But, you are keeping him completely in the loop, and encouraging his input and suggestions...right?
Lindelof: Oh, yes...yes...of course. Not to worry.
Sir Ridley: Okay, back to the topic at hand...what have we missed?
Lindelof: Can't think of anything...we have definitely covered it all, no question!
Sir Ridley: Well, what about Norse Mythology?
Lindelof: ..........................umm, yeah, well of course, Norse Mythology. Sure.
Sir Ridley: I don't see anything relating to Norse Mythology in the script?
Lindelof: Oh, well that was Spaiht's responsibility.
Sir Ridley: You are sure?
Lindelof: Umm, absolutely. As a matter of fact, he was supposed to send over a new draft with the Norse stuff, but the Carrier Pigeons all came down with West Nile, and are out of commission.
Sir Ridley: Did they?
Lindelof: Yes, very tragic, Sir.
Sir Ridley: All right, I want you to hit the books, and integrate all the important Norse myths into this story. And I mean really get into this research. I DO NOT want you relying on Wikipedia for any of this shit.
Lindelof: Perish the thought, sir. It would never even cross my mind.
Sir Ridley: Good, good. Let's meet together same time next week. I still want you to touch base with Spaiht's on this Norse stuff.
Lindelof: Yes sir, I will give him a call as soon as we are finished here.
Sir Ridley: I thought you said he didn't have a phone?
Lindelof: I meant I will send out a pigeon with the message.
Sir Ridley: I thought you said they all succumbed to West Nile?
Lindelof: No, no, no...I didn't mean pigeons, I meant I will use our ultra-secret backup.
Sir Ridley: And what is that?
Lindelof: We communicate via Ouija board.
Sir Ridley: Really...does it work?
Lindelof: Like a charm. Speaking of which...I think there might just be an idea for another movie with this.
Sir Ridley: f**king BRILLIANT !!!!
Thing is, it is missing organic components, and also missing the illogical/irrational part of his particular surrealist style.
Buuuut thats content for an entirely different topic that probably doesn't belong in these forums...
Onto the original point: yes it is reminiscent, and whoever devised it's concept was surely taking from his ideas in generality.
Also, anyone else notice the bowl reference in the Norse mythos, and the bowl holloway is looking at in Trailer #1?
Didn't mean you
It does look pretty interesting, yeah.
I was trying to be diplomatic
But yeah, eyes would do lol.
Or, y'know, eyes.
Yes, I agree. It has been potentially based off it, in general shape. But lets not confuse that with a true Giger design as some are
Plus, you people are mad for thinking that complex is giger-esque. If you have an understanding on fine art (i.e. have done courses, are a professional artist) I'm sure you will know what I mean.
http://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?topic=42492.msg1308242#msg1308242
To say that the complex looks giger-esque... well... I really don't think so. There is nothing bio-mech and illogical about it and that is after all his style. It simply looks like rock that has been crafted and eroded, with some interesting patterns here and there.
http://www.meridian.net.au/Art/Artists/HRGiger/Gallery/Images/giger-dune-ii-medium.jpg It looks like this but backwards, without the face and arms.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOL.
Just saying.
This all just made me think of the first trailer (not the International one), we see Holloway looking at a bowl.
LOL
There are way to many small references for this to be coincidences...
Jeeez it's late - gotta go to bed. Goodnight people!
yes, we can safely assume Wolverine is going to be in the movie
And sounds very close to what is inside Wolverine.
Thx and I second the praise.
Those stars are approx 40-70 lightyears from Earth so I guess they (and their potential systems) are all candidates.
Regarding Eitr - could it be the vital element needed to produce functioning androids? I mean, the mythic substance is also refeered to as 'creating life' or something like it? The white substance that flows in their veins wink wink..?
Love the connections to Norse mythology. Now why didn't I pay more attention in school...?! I live in Scandinavia for Christs sake...

and, yeah, of course
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adamantium
quote:
"Adamantine is also the metal used by Hephaestus to construct chains to hold Prometheus in the ancient greek play Prometheus Bound"
The question is how did they get it if the Prometheus Project has not yet launched? The page mentions that Weyland has received message from deep space, so maybe these messages contain instructions on how to formulate it?
Norse + aliens?
Very interesting... wonder if the venom dripping serpent has anything to do with our alien mural? There has got to be some significant link to that mural somewhere in the film, surely...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prometheus#Comparative_myths...
Nice find, 180924609 and Cavalorn!
In revenge, Weyland killed the king's sons when they visited him in secret, fashioned goblets from their skulls, jewels from their eyes, and a brooch from their teeth. He sent the goblets to the king, the jewels to the queen and the brooch to the king's daughter. When Bodvild took her ring to him to be mended, he took the ring and raped her, fathering a son and escaping on wings he made.
Welund tasted misery among snakes. The stout-hearted hero endured troubles had sorrow and longing as his companions cruelty cold as winter - he often found woe Once Nithad laid restraints on him
Below the forge is the headless body of Niðhad's son, who Wayland has killed, making a goblet from his skull; his head is probably the object held in the tongs in Wayland's hand. With his other hand Wayland offers the goblet, containing drugged beer, to Bodvild, Niðhad's daughter, who he then rapes when she is unconscious
Points bolded by me that could link to Prometheus.
Mind blown.
Norse mythology? Featuring the amazing craftsman, Weyland, who is unable to walk?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayland_Smith
Thx, just a matter of time until I'll bury that Swiss underachiever and his relativity nonsense...
Yeah, I noticed the 'Cosmic Call 2' detail as well, although I have no idea of the implications...
Love how much work and effort they are putting into this stuff, just for us the geeks.
