International Prometheus Launch Trailer

[LarsVader]

My take on the "head":
(no pixel editing or "painting", just contrasts and curves)

[Kev Loaf]

The visitor... notice anything...?

Look at the helmet reflection - does it reveal the face outline of the visitor facing redshirt? Doesn't look human to me, but you be the judge...

I was just looking at that myself. Although it's not quite clear, I can definitely make out part of a skull.

OK, not the best diagram in the world but you get my drift.   

Doesn't look like that part of the reflection is of the figure in the foreground - it doesn't move along with it.

Anyone care to put this to music? ;-)

The reflection reminds me of this creature...

Its a freaking engineers head. so obvious.

The "part of the suit" on that alleged exploding human head is actually part of the jockey's mask, Eva.

...which would explain why I called it 'base of helmet' on my pic 

Besides, I believe that to be an engineer head - not a human head from inside the jockey helmet. I think I stated that from the beginning...

Davo1980 has a good point - the reflection doesn't seem to reflect the upwards movement of the visitor, so perhaps it will eventually prove to be nothing... or...

I wonder if the exploding head will pop out of the screen in a shower of 3D goo... 

No extra butter on my popcorn, please.

Sorry. I keep seeing that theory about a human head being in that shot. Makes me itch.

And the trailer overanalysis brigade have set off already. 

Anyway, this just makes me more and more excited!

I seem to recall an idea floating around early on, a rumor or something to do with the plot, that the temple was basically a cult worshiping this figure (The giant head) and partaking in some kind of twisted death/sacrificial experiments.

Could still have something to do with it. I rather like the idea of an alien death cult.

Interesting fact: a "Juggernaut" originally was a Hindu temple wagon.

I think the original jockey RAN AWAY (from who/what?) with his creations "humans" and the pictographs show where he brought us from.
hes warning us to stay away.

can't wait up to see that. I don't wanna know how many guys will throw off their popcorn when the head pops.

[FIRESTORM 496]

I have an idea about the snake creature... Maybe it is the trunk of the space jockey.

Just look at the shape. It's the same. Maybe it can fuse to it's victims mouth/nose and offer oxygen much like the face hugger did?

Can someone get a pic of the Jockey skull/helmet and a pic of the snake next to each other? I don't have any pics

Our ancient civilizations often had an obsessive fascination with death, in some instances their entire culture revolved around it, so yeah... an alien death cult works for me 

@Firestorm496 - if that comes to pass, Bat Chains head might just implode...

"...All bound for Morning Town...,
Many miles away..."

[Kev Loaf]

The exploding head is a jockey head. not human.

Here is a good look at the snake head both when it is folded up and also when it is opened but momentarily in someone's flashlight beam:
