Title: Possible Space Jockey Pictures
Post by: Corporal Hicks on Sep 29, 2011, 06:23:21 AM
I'd like to thanks the anonymous contributor that provided these pictures to the convention at weekend and that has just sent me some of them to put online:

[Images Removed At Request Of Fox]

As you can see it looks suspiciously like the Space Jockey chair without the telescope (or whatever it is) device attached. However, the 2nd picture looks like a telescope device.

Pretty much seals the deal. Thanks.

Probably just disassembled it. Also the top pic shows the chair torn apart slightly and thus you can see the foam.

Also no creature. Maybe he took a poo-poo break.

Looks incredibly similar to the original chair.

Excitement level just peaked back up from the drop in news recently.

EDIT: Only thing missing is the pipes up the side, leading to the "scope like" piece. Probably why the foam is visible in one spot I guess. Not applied yet / recently removed.

Recently removed would be my bet.

There are some very minor differences, but the similarity to the original is quite remarkable.

The fact the occupant is absent may point to them not being grown out of the chair as Dallas speculated.

Although one would assume that the animatronic suit would also need to adapt into it, if the "jockey" was to be portrayed by a person for speech, movement, etc.
So... could also be why "it's" missing.

The fact that the creature isn't sculpted with the chair rules out this pic coming from Alien (1979), as what some posters in that other thread would suggest otherwise.

I hope so. Different Jockey, different story, looser tie to Alien. Which means the film doesn't exist simply to set the derelict on the planetoid.

This instrument could be from a different jockey ship that we haven't seen, but the design looks very much like the one in the '79 movie minus the vertical pipes and ridges. I bet those vertical pipes were just yanked off during the dismantling process but they do exist somewhere- just not in those pics.

Just a thought, but what if it's not a telescope but some sort of cannon that launches the egg/cylinder shaped objects into new planets.

Basically it fires a cocktail of life....

If you look at the pilot photo, the area around the head and forearms is missing. We discussed at the Prometheus panel at the Aliens NSC 25th, that these areas were kept blank for either a digital or animatronic head and forearms.

I couldn't see the Jockey in the picture (I am badly sighted, though...) Maybe the chair is meant to be encountered empty? It would play on our expectations a bit.

Maybe the material is plaster, and the vertical tubes are aluminum (strong and light enough to support the scope which may or may not be a gigantic space penis)

Dallas said the original appeared fossilized.  I was always under the assumption that the derelict was an ancient thing.  So me it makes more sense that this is a different chair for a different jockey.  Prometheus takes place too closely in the timeline for anything else to make sense.

Lindelof's time travel tropes should address the fossilised aspect, if this movie is an actual prequel.

Hello everybody, I read that the Space Jockey was recreated to look like the original so basically we will be seing the Jockey on the ship alive, so its a pretty good chance this will be set within the original ship found in Alien. I'm pretty sure its the same Jockey we are just going to see it's back story, and yes as a sculptor and model maker I noticed the comparrison pics of the original Jockey and the replica that had some differences but when its on film no one would notice only us rivet counters  ;D.

from kev loaf: "Why can you guys not imagine it to be a telescope or a cannon, why does everything have to be turned into something erotic?!" ...because that's what it is. Look at all of Geiger's biomechanoid artwork and you will see constant thingly veiled allegories for genitals and intercourse. Nothing wrong with it. Why is that such a shock?

Also it is clearly a space jockey chair without the jockey. Literally all of the sculpture details other than the missing pipes along the base of the gun/phallus and the Jockey itself match either exactly or as small redesigns that no one but people on this board would notice. Unless this thing was home made (which I highly doubt), it is the definite confirmation of a SJ built for the film.

I always like to believe that the SJ was permanently fused to the chair and that it was some form of biomech pilot created by another, yet unseen, intelligent life form! Therefore, the SJ was a creation like the Xenos by some other mysterious race.

That would be awesome.

The picture was taken during the period the set was being destroyed. There did appear to be some sort of body within the suit but space for a head and arms which led us to believe they maybe CG.

Post by: Gash on Sep 29, 2011, 05:30:07 PM
Even if this only appears in the last minute of the film it's enough to bring a tear to my eye. The beauty of Giger's aesthetic is back, matched with Ridley's artistic eye. Gone is the greasy brown turd of what the alien had become by A:R. This is fantastic.
Title: Re: Possible Space Jockey Pictures
Post by: Kev Loaf on Sep 29, 2011, 05:31:26 PM
Makes sense that it is CG the SJ would need to move it head and body around smoothly.

I'm convinced it is fused to the chair!

I always like to believe that the SJ was permanently fused to the chair and that it was some form of biomech pilot created by another, yet unseen, intelligent life form! Therefore, the SJ was a creation like the Xenos by some other mysterious race.

That would be awesome. 
I had something similar in mind. But I guess that the SJs surgically attached themselves to different stuff, in Alien's case, the ship. So there could be those normal Jockeys that could, well walk around, while some others could be half-machines, that are restricted to the vicinity of the thing they are connected to.

Or they could attach and detach themselves from machines, whenever they wanted to.

I'm not sure SJs were organisms created by other organisms. Xenomorphs could be, but SJs, being the advanced race they are, seem to have altered their bodies to their needs.

Just a thought, but what if it's not a telescope but some sort of cannon that launches the egg/cylinder shaped objects into new planets.

Basically it fires a cocktail of life....
So it's a giant dick?

Not a far stretch, considering Alien.

Wait what?! A giant dick?! What is it doing, pumping the seed of life constantly into the universe. I bloody hope this is not the case.

Considering it was designed by Giger, I found it rather tame...though I find it difficult to rationalize that you've gone through life without realizing that the Space Jockey was actually staring up through a gigantic, erect, flayed penis...

...we won't talk about the split glans ('bell-end', for our younger viewers)

HUH?! Has someone who actually made the film or designed the creature actually come out and said it was a "gigantic, erect, flayed penis"?!

That is insane. Why can you guys not imagine it to be a telescope or a cannon, why does everything have to be turned into something erotic?!  :D

Its Space Jockey envy ;)

Daft as it might sound, and based on Gigars own wacky (to say the least) sense of surrealism, I wouldn't be supprised if the 'canon' thing actually fired Alien eggs  ;D

Or maybe those urns. They look like they can remain intact while they're being hurtled through space and time.

Actually yeah I take that back, probably won't be eggs in this movie as discussed some time back, those urns do seem perfect for it... maybe we are onto something and dont even know it!!

I've got a full-colour picture looking down the split glans of the telecope/whatever...it has multiple holes between the two flayed flaps, I took it for multiple lenses for this alien 'telescope' for a time...

The film,however, NEVER showed this aparatus from an angle we could SEE these holes...

Perhaps, Ridley is happy he had an artist that could enlarge his vision between canvas and full-sized sculpture...and it is serendipitous that something Giger added to a model on a sound-stage might have sparked Prometheus.

Ridley Scott (1978)..."I LOVE the Space Jockey...but it's going to be twice as expensive to build this telescope..."
HR Giger..."But you muzt!...Ozerwise Jockey make NO sense!...and iz OBVIUZLY not TELESCOPE!..Iz PLANET INZEMINATOR!!!"


...I'm pretty sure THAT's the way it went down.

That's what I meant.

Because if I remember from the other set leaks, the chamber with the urns sit's directly below the head, which again looked like where the Jockey ship would sit.

So going on my Penis theory......

One set of eggs to start life.

One set of eggs to destroy it.

IMDB is the equivalent of a nagging wife. If you say black, they say white.

If they are fake, someone deserves a medal. From memory the scale looked real to me. Although there was no reference in the pictures.

The fact they have been removed also suggests they are at least causing a concern.

Also with a product that size there would be some form of information in relation to it.

p.s its not the original as the design is different... slightly

Looking again at the original SJ....I can't help but believe that the chair and the jockey are both somewhat organic, as if, as Dallas put it 'grown out of the chair' of sorts. The entire design and execution of the creature seems like it comes from a culture that's completely organic which includes their technology.

Am I crazy?

That's the whole POINT of Giger's 'Biomechanic' pics...the fusing of the organic and inorganic to a point where you can't tell where one stops and the other starts.
