Has anyone received a copy yet? Any advanced copies for review?
It's been pushed back to August in the UK. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if they surprise us this week with the same.
Well it's a week before it releases here in the States, so I hope not. :(
And why is that quote of mine, your sig?

Even for Giger-class artist, not all stuff is used.. In almost every movie.
Giger wasn't hired to do creature designs, apparently. He wouldn't have been the one to do the concept art for them.
If Giger did anything it was (quite limited) consulting, and he designed 4-5 murals for the film (we see one or two?)
Honestly,
with the obvious poor and completely disappointing creature design in mind (the "proto-alien"-whatever-this-abomination-should-be), just thinking about to put the two words "Prometheus" and "Art" into one and the same sentence should be treated like an act of crime! >:(
Period.

The limited use of Giger in the film was quite disappointing. The Mural's aren't really shown in any kind of significant way, they are essentially throwaway. As for the set, they literally took the "Bio" out of "Biomechanical".
The only suitably Giger-esque imagery was when the Engineer's cryopod opened up. The image of this being, integrated with the suit, definitley gave off a strong Gigerian vibe.
I truly hope that Giger's minimal involvement with the picture had nothing to do with refusing to be a "subordinate" to Arthur Max. If the rumours were true, and there was a fallout, Hollywood can kiss goodbye to Giger. Again...
Yeah what was all that shit about Arthur Max and Giger having a falling out?

Rumour has it that Arthur Max wanted Giger, essentially on the payroll. Working along side Huante, Page etc. but under Max's supervision. Its his Art Department afterall. But Giger is his own artist, works the way he wants to.
Its probably all bullshit. Giger probably only had a limited window available, Ridley gave him a call, payed him as a "consultant" for a few pieces of work. End of.

I can totally believe that other parties wanted the lion's share of credit on the film over Giger. Jockeying for position is not new to this franchise, or to Hollywood; it dates back to the first film.
That being said, given Giger's advanced years I can also easily believe it's bullshit and just easy grist for the disgruntled fan mill. But I've heard it from more than one source elsewhere before, and Valaquen's always struck me as a level-headed guy, so for the moment I assume there's a grain of truth.

No, he's at the point in the set picture by the time we see him. It looks like he was supposed to be xeno-fied on paper but they dialled it back in execution.

Wow! Really?! What a missed opportunity!
Wishing he had went xeno or partially xeno, rather than what actually happened in film regarding the xeno.
I think the audience would have appreciated that so much more
That alternate protoxeno is... interesting... but i prefer the one they ended up with. (It's also way more similar to Giger's excellent mural.)
The xeno-fied fifield concept art is just soo silly looking though...

You know what people here would have said?
"But, we already know that the xenos come from facehuggers! Scott is contradicting himself!RUINED!!"
Fifield doing the whole 'xeno crouching infront of Lambert' stance when that merc found him before his rampage reminded me of a xeno and it is clear to see he was supposed to be in some sort of transformed state into a xeno in that. Early footage even had him with elongated arms and a slightly different face, so they seemed to have wanted to go down that road but pulled it back, or at least I didn't notice because the shots of him rampaging were so quick.
I would like to know exactly why he went xeno when Charlie seemed to go the way of the Sacrifice Engineer in the end, even if his sperm was infected with alien dna. I guess what I'm trying to actually say is how are the crew turning xeno, along with the worms, when the Engineer just crumbles away. I guess his dna does reconstitute into the primordial soup, so what the hell does that mean? Life evolved from xeno cells?
Gah!
it's really a correct choice for the filmmakers to finally give up the ridiculous :( xeno-fied fifield concept art design
NONONONONONONO!!
WE MUST HAVE THAT DIRECTOR's CUT!!
This is WHAT I WANTED TO SEE!!
I know there's a better film in there - and just seeing this makes me think Rothman is actually the guy we should be pointing fingers at for what was actually cut out. We've got "90120 in Space" instead of a true hard sc-fi horror I believe Ridley REALLY wanted to make.
PLEASE WRAP ANY SPOILER TEXT OR IMAGES IN *SPOILERS*!!!!!!

Apparently the 'proto-xeno' is known as 'The Deacon'...(or is the interweb translation service on the fritzzzz?)

I'm hoping to get an answer on precisely what 'hammerpede' refers to. There's been a lot of assumptions about it, but no definitive clarification.

Lindadolph!!!!
Oh mah gad, this is what I was expecting when first photo leaks came up ffs. The designs are brilliant.
The silvery eyed concept reminds me of the first trailer leak space cat.
According the Amazon the UK release date has shifted to June 15th.
Was going to post about this since i saw the book yesteday.
Basically FIFIELD was turning into a xeno, like it was hinted in the some trailers where he had a bulby head and elongated limbs...
WTF happened?????
Also the sacrifice engineer was not alone, an older one (elder engineer?) was giving him the bowl.
As for the rest of the book IT IS GORGEOUS.
Yeah, you can clearly see he has mutated into the model above in the later trailers (elongated arms, elongated head and the hint of those weird eyes) but whether or not the effect was lost in the edit or if they just decided to go with the zombie make up at the last minute is unknown. Maybe in a better edited version of the film he mutates throughout the scene.
Just for reference, here are the two versions of Fifield. Toxic Avenger and Half-Xeno.
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1225.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fee395%2FChrisPachi%2Fcompr.jpg&hash=9614fb61cdd5ab3ccc4fa84b9c1d1ebbcf85664e)
IMO if they had of gone for the Xeno mutation this scene might of fit, or at least felt less irrelevant.
If there's any action sequence to see extended/reedited its the fifield going mutant scene.....
Regarding fifield going xeno, this might be one worth petitioning gets put back into the film on dvd/b-ray

Also, if you pause it right you do get the glimpse of one of his eyes like in the model picture from the book. Clearly that scene was cut to absolute ribbons.
Once more it proves that LINDELOF (or Scott ) had no fcking idea what to do.
Show xeno or not?
What does the black go does?
If you add this to the worm it's just clear that the goo turn anything into xeno like creatures.
TSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS what a waste....
I had already come to a similar conclusion, that it turns them in to a xeno like creature capable of infecting others with the squid parasite which would lead to the Proto-Xeno. But having Fifield appear more xeno like in appearance would have helped with the consistency of this theory. Real shame.
I think the decision to revert back to zombie-Fifield was probably made once the scene was cut to shreds or else they wouldn't have bothered with the effects.

It would of made much more sense I agree, considering what it did to the worms. It transformed them into a completely new lifeform, whereas Fifield just got ugly.
Thanks for the gif.
What impress me is how the modifications are seamless.
Just like the black goo added around the ampules that David extracts from the urn.
Pretty seamless.

Could have been so much more consistant if they kept the fifield morphing into xeno scene....would have raised the cool factor too. I think everyone would have preferred the eyeless mouthless xeno too. But alas this is not what we received.
A lot of that artwork is really beautiful. The proto-Alien design in that concept art still sucks, but it's better than what's in the film.
What went wrong here? :-\
Simply that Scott went with the wrong designs.
More things points to one chain of event.
Fifield morphing into a xeno was maybe too obvious for mister mystery Lindelof so they decided to keep him in his first state.
Hope he will be back in the inevitable extended cut.
I'm might have access to some unseen images from the studio who made all the creatures and prosthetic work.
Hope i can share :)

That stuff is amazing. All of it.
The proto-alien has really grown on me Cvalda. Those hands are so human, and the spindly, wirey-ness of it I absolutely love. The texture is ADI barf, loopy, fleshy, etc... and dat mouth... but overall I think it's solid in a very unique way. Again, the behavior of the thing went a long way. I've been so jaded by every movie monster, including my favorite alien and predator, acting like idiotic animals in the past decade that any appeal to an intelligent-looking creature really melts my rage. :laugh:
Hey on a different note, has anyone gotten ahold of the Prometheus novelization? I've been wondering why no one is talking about it, as it could potentially show us much more that was cut from the film and flesh out the plot, maybe even fill some of the plot holes.
Anybody have an idea bout it?
Not too keen on that alternative Proto Alien design, it looks like something out of Hellboy 2.

There isn't one. :P
All of the marketing and hype, and not having something as simple as a Novelization?
wtf, Fox. Maybe they were worried it would address too many questions, like novelizations usually do, and make the film look bad. :laugh:
Novelizations are almost a thing of the past. It's not unusual.
What I wish they still did were the Movie Novels, where they basically publish the film almost frame for frame in book format. ALIEN had one, and it is a magnificent reference :)
That sounds awesome. I've been reading the Alan Dean Foster Alien novelization for the past few weeks now, re-reading the derelict parts and some other things. It's really fantastic.
That's odd, I remember novelizations for many modern movies. Transformers always seems to have them, and they still have the same sort of disposable feel as the rest of the film merchandise. That sucks, though.

If they went to the stage of art and being built, it's more likely that Scott was the one responsible for downgrading them, not writers. Especially in light of the recent interview revelation. The things probably wouldn't have got to that level if they weren't already in the story.

This would've been cool to see. According to on early trailer commentary there were two Engineers at the beginning, IIRC. Love the Elder.
I wonder how many of the half done ideas were shitcanned in the thought of a PG-13 rating?
Hopefully they will return them on DVD.
Does anyone remember if the music for the 'An Old Friend' track featured in the film? Might have been a reference to this, if so - which means that it could have been filmed.
I'm just waiting for the new Cinefex, TBH... ;D

That track apparently plays in the first act during Weyland's recorded speech.

Simply that Scott went with the wrong designs.
More things points to one chain of event.
Fifield morphing into a xeno was maybe too obvious for mister mystery Lindelof so they decided to keep him in his first state.
Hope he will be back in the inevitable extended cut.
If they went to the stage of art and being built, it's more likely that Scott was the one responsible for downgrading them, not writers. Especially in light of the recent interview revelation. The things probably wouldn't have got to that level if they weren't already in the story.
The movie has not just been reeditied it has to be rewrittent too even on set.
Spoiler
The whole thing with Weyland getting out while Fifield attacks and Shaw on their trails is not just edit work.
But yeah the last word came from SCOTT no doubt.

The head design's reminiscent of some ghoulish interpretation of a camel spider. It's difficult to make out when you see it. Much clearer on here.
Spoiler
Would have been preferable to see on the creature's shoulders in the final scene.
Not terribly crazy about whatever-that-is's design, but it's solid, and at least somewhat biomechanical.

Just a thought guys - what if the Engineer they woke up was infected? Like Fifield style infected rather than carrying a chestburster/hugger inside him?
It'd explain him going all Jason on the crew, plus he had that xeno-style suit... could have been a mutation.

This my theory for the original ending.
The 3 other sarcophagis were chestbursted.
He stayed in stasis hoping to be saved, he wakes up, realize that it not a rescue party but humans go berzerk tries to take off, get chestbursted in midair, xeno grows up fast and attacks the survivors.

That would be a very plausible explanation for all the things he did.

It's magnificent artwork. Again, I'm just distraught we only got alf the film it should have been. How do so many good ideas and creations get cut out? What on earth were they thinking when they were editing this film. Bring back the ELDER and the fully mutated-Filfield!!
Elder wouldn't have made any difference. It's just another Engineer. Just an older one.
I really need to get this book. Freaking fantastic designs!

Crazy idea but judging by that creatures biomechanical design and shoulders im guessing thats the creature that needs to be chestbursted to birth the xeno as we know and to the right is an engineer who probly had these creatures as slaves an did experiments on them and maybe these creatures lay eggs where the xeno gets it from lol idk first post

So those were indeed xeno hands in the mural. And now we can see they're holding an egg. Well at least this hopefully means the xeno is already perfectly existant and doesn't get "created" in some later prequel.
This artwork really is beautiful, even if the creature designs are nothing special. I know this film's story is quite disappointing, but I'm at least looking forward to the visuals.
From these pics it looks like the proto-alien gets on the other juggernaut with shaw and David! The sequel will be on the jockey planet with the proto f**king everything up! One of the jockeys gets infected tries to get away but crashes on LV426
So did they actually make full suited Engineers then? (space jockey suits)

Bri
Yeah there are actually 2 suits made. There is a skin tight "liner" we see the Jockey wearing and another suit as shown above that goes over it. We only see the outer suit during the hologram sequence and when the Jockey gets in the chair.
Spoiler
Whats irks me about it is in the first holo sequence, you see the jockeys totally suited up. In the second holo sequence, the "pilots" are just wearing their liners and one actually walks in carrying his helmet. The jockey we meet has to get into the chair to get the helmet and suit but once the ship is downed, he just walks out into open atmosphere in his liner. We never actually see a living jockey moving around in the full "regalia".
So in the art in the Book, the New Xeno gets outta the pod see's the ship and heads to it? while tubes are growing outta its shoulders? Seem's like they really wanted to f**k up our minds, into thinking LV-223 will alter be renamed LV-426 and this is how the eggs became....HMMMMM guess it didnt crash 2,000 years ago...Oh DAMON LINADOLPH

f**king cocktease
The concept art is immensely cool! Very talented people worked on that film.
I'm still not into the 'Trilobite' design though... BTW why is it called a Trilobite? In the book it says the Trilobites of the Cambrian were the sort of inspiration for this creature, but then this doesn't make any sense. The Trilobites were very ancient arthropods and they had three sections to their bodies: a front section, a middle section and a tail section.
The 'Prometheus-Trilobite' is certainly not an arthropod and it doesn't have three sections, it looks more like an octopus.
Apart from that, cool book, it makes me want to watch Prometheus 2, or whatever they'll call it.:)

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 ;)
Mechanisms that look precisely like teeth? Yeahhh...
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?
Just in case there is any doubt as to whether the Giger art of the 'alien hands' clasped around an 'alien egg' is Prometheus canon, check the following ampule room mural comparison shot:

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! ;D

I would have never seen the hands holding the egg if it weren't for that post. Shame they covered it up and passed it so quickly.
I think that the original idea for Fifield's transformation was way more interesting, dramatic and grotesque.
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.

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 :)
I believe I ordered mine roughly one month ago so that could explain the difference in delivery dates. I can't see any reason why you won't have it by the end of the week :) It's a great read. What struck me most was the image of the deacon heading towards the (now) derelict. You're left with the impression it has the intelligence to fly the ship.

I believe I ordered mine roughly one month ago so that could explain the difference in delivery dates. I can't see any reason why you won't have it by the end of the week :) It's a great read. What struck me most was the image of the deacon heading towards the (now) derelict. You're left with the impression it has the intelligence to fly the ship.
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.
Anyone else notice how Shaw can give the Engineer a BJ standing straight up? Just saying. Just saying.

My hero.
Just received the book in the post, ordered from Amazon. Really nice hardback book and over 190 pages . Really impressed :)
I pre-ordered my copy on Amazon yesterday, can't wait to get it!
Im considering pre-ordering it. 186 Pages. Should be a good viewing.
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.

Love the Jockey stuff.
Such good artwork for such a bad film.
Finally got time to check my book.
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...
Overload of sexy.

Just got my copy in the mail today, can't wait to be up all night reading through it, haha. Did a quick page-through and it looks goddamn awesome.

Is it me, or do some of the darker pictures in the book look a little too dark? Or is it my copy? I can't find another copy in town to compare it too.
Completely forgot I'd pre-ordered a copy and it showed up in the post on Monday. Read through it that night and Jesus Christ, what an absolutely fantastic book. To Prometheus what The Book of Alien is to Alien. Absolutely loved a lot of the artwork in it. The Deacon design is growing on me immensely and I loved seeing all those other designs.
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. :) Actually very excited and happy with a release for once, feel motivated lol
