Update #2: A new batch of scans from the Prometheus artbook has arrived. This new batch includes a lot of imagery of the Engineers, pyramid and creatures shown in the film.
Update #1: New scans of the Prometheus: The Art of the Film book have been posted today. The new images show concept art pieces of the characters, prologue and unseen creatures from the film so be aware of spoilers as usual.
Original post 06/05/12: Several pictures from the upcoming Prometheus: The Art of the Film book have surfaced online. They show a number of different and mostly unused concept art pieces and props used in the film.
I do feel a little cheated in that I know there's so much more out done but hopefully the internet will prevail. I'll do a proper review on it soon enough.
Thanks for the preview of the book!!

OVERLOAD OF SEXY.
It's pretty coolbut i'ma bit disapointed.
You see no art leading to the prometheus as we know it.
Almost no Engineers concept art, some pics of the prop suit, but no actual artwook of the research they made for their look.
Nothing also about the inner suit the surviving engineer wears save for those horrid 3d images by Steve Messing...
Also nothing from the ideas and concepts leading to the deacon.
Well i guss i will have to hunt down each concept artist blog and website to get somejuicy stuff...
Still don't see why people take every opportunity to slam this film.
Has anyone watched alien recently? There are a lot of flaws with Alien. But we choose to believe. And thus, sci fi and fantasy is born.
My hero.
Hahahaha!
Yes, it always bothered me how David & Shaw end up going to another Juggernaught, giving the impression the downed ship, even though it remained in one piece was now totally useless, especially when you see what the Prometheus ship was capable of. But having seen these pictures of the baby xeno, you do get left wondering 'what if David leads Shaw to another ship on purpose!' 'What if the reason he never questions Shaw after he discovers she's pregnant is because he anticpates what she'll do because she's human!' leaving the creature free to do whatever, even fly a ship at some point, so why not leave it a ship that he really knew was still functional!! To be honest, as much as I enjoyed Prometheus as a piece of entertainment, what with Sir Riddles sounding like he's making things up as he goes along and the redicilousness of the plot of Prometheus which at times insults ALL the previous Alien films, I can really see this happening.
And i'm in France.
Knowing Amazon I wouldn't be suprised if it arrived tomorrow, I only ordered a few days ago, seeing that other post about August I decided to check anyway, but reading yours has arrived is great news
No it hasn't, I spoke to Amazon about this, recieved comformation yesterday (June 10th) my copy would be delivered no later than June 20th
It's a missed effect for sure, he looked like he was turning into a Drone-ish thing, rather than some sort of primal, zombie.

Oh man! I'm having such a geeky nerd moment right now! Feeling like a little kid on x-mas day!
Weyland's Holo-Entrance.

While I'll call them different names for the sake of... Differentiation... Ing... I cannot dispute this point.
'Point'.
Heh...
As unimpressive as it is, the new, proper Starbeast is better than that.

STARBEAST FOREVER!
Budget of 'Prometheus': Many, many millions.

f**k yeah!
STARBEAST!
And f**k "trilobite"--we shall call it the STARBEAST per ShadowPred's suggestion.
Not 100% sure if that's a definite match, but certainly looks like it... If it's the same thing, it's in-movie that these things shouldn't be counted as part of the Alien's history. More like an 'Alien Resurrection'-like genetic off-shoot (if they're even related).
Thank you, Giger!

A point of note worth mentioning here is that the 'alien hands' clasped around the egg have the distinctive webbed six fingers of the familiar xeno. But the proto-goblin-alien thing at the end of Prometheus appears to only have 5 fingers?
Not to mention having a fissure like that kind of defeats the purpose of a suit of protecting what is inside. Why should even a 'front-end' that connects like that to the breathing hose, which is what makes the guy breathe?
Thats what i tought you were aiming at
Well my take on this is simple.
You can already see big differences between the fuctionnal helmet and the one of the severed head.
The functionnal has more "flesh", the severed is dried, more skeletal, its dead.
The one from ALIEN is dead too, what you call a mouth is the front end of helmet that connects with the hose, the teeth could be the mechanisms inside that can be seen once the helmet is dead.
I guess this is what Scott goes for and i don't see it retconning design wise the one from ALIEN
ALIEN ISNT CANNON! ...lol.
