Looks like that set piece is confirmed to be part of the ship.

I think that prop is the one above the one you highlighted there on the official pic. The one that is hanging.

Could this be from the Iceland set/beginning of the movie? The ground kinda looks like the one from the leaked pics and so does that prop.

Heck, did not expect this today. Whole thing reminds me of (and probably is) LV-426.

Post by: 180924609 on Jul 21, 2011, 08:00:30 PM
I actually think that 'metallic foot' contraption from the Iceland shoot is the part hanging at an angle at the top-right part of the image. Looks like there is a matching part hanging at either side of the landing strut.

Great to finally see a real image from Prometheus. Good atmospheric blizzard effects again - similar to LV426...

Cool picture.
A little bit "old school sci-fi" style I think, which is good to the film. Reminds me to Alien and Moon 44.

Looks like the planet(oid) has lower than Earth gravity. That's something that you don't see too often in films. I like it. :)
Title: Re: First Official Photo
Post by: OmegaZilla on Jul 21, 2011, 08:37:32 PM
It's amazing how such a small and apparently insignificant picture can evoke such a strong emotion. It's an astronaut, but where is s/he? S/he is near a spaceship, but what kind of spaceship is it? S/he's holding something in his/her hand, but what is it?  And most importantly, where is s/he and why is s/he there? So many questions, so much greatness in there, I almost feel back to when I first watched Alien. I really can't wait for this film to finally come.

Interestin'. Suit seems a little slim for something predating the ones in Alien (not that I can even see it that clearly). Still, I'm digging the atmosphere.

Now let's see some of that footage, Riddles.
Title: Re: First Official Photo
Post by: MrSpaceJockey on Jul 21, 2011, 08:41:07 PM
This is classic Alien styled industrial goodness.  And shows off more of its realistic portrayal of more alien planets, like SpaceMarines said, with lower gravity.
Title: Re: First Official Photo

Looks like an old school Alien film, only Ridley himself could pull this off.

Post by: Cap. Fitzgerald on Jul 21, 2011, 09:13:35 PM
Just you I think, we know the stuff on the right is actual props.
And the stuff on the left probably is too.

I like this picture though, I really do.
Cant wait for more Comic Con news, as I sadly didnt get to go to it.

The images on the left look like a reflection, as if we are watching this through a glass screen.

And yes, in the bag she's carrying, that looks like an egg, or something.

Very clever marketing to show this - what's in the bag? Where is it? Who is she? Etc...
Title: Re: First Official Photo
Post by: CainsSon on Jul 21, 2011, 09:27:04 PM
It looks like a female in that suit, and like she is holding some kinda bag with maybe an egg in it? MAYBE... Also the low gravity is apparent, as is the landing gear from that Iceland photo, on the right. At least, it looks like its from the same ship, or maybe a smaller module/eev.

Looks like an egg to me. Its big enough to be knee-height which the ones in ALIEN looked. Also, if it is an egg, it'll be a proto-alien one, so it could be a different shape.

i almost couldn't say it better!

by the way: http://collider.com/prometheus-image/103937/ (http://collider.com/prometheus-image/103937/)

"It's a quasi-Alien prequel (hence the anticipation), but the only solid detail we know is Prometheus takes place in outer space.  The first image released by Warner Bros. confirms that much."

warner bros.?? did i missed something or just a mistake?

Title: Re: First Official Photo
Post by: MrSpaceJockey on Jul 22, 2011, 02:02:19 AM
Wrong thread, but then again, this might not be Alien related.  I certainly believe so, but Ridley will keep on saying it isn't, which gives him a reason to change the rating.

So there's been talk about the Space Jockey actually being somebody wearing a 'SUIT' by Ridley and Theron mentioned seeing her skin taken off and her bones revealed and having her suit taken off. She refers to her character as a suit, so I was thinking about er being a business woman AND AN ANDROID. Then others have mentioned, and I agree that IN THE FIRST PIC its obviously a woman in the outfit. Now I know this is a stretch, but does anybody else see the vague impression of an elephantine tube coming from the mouth part of the helmet in the first leaked photo?

So all that conjeture aside, apart from the fact that we can see a person in that pic, does anyone see what I mean about the helmet and tube looking similar to the Space Jockey?

Looks really nice. Does the suit look like the exact one from Alien (1979) I know it's a prequel but they do look really similar. I never watched the Alien (1979) movie because they don't sell them where I live.

I suppose by taking on genetic traits from it's host. I believe one of the original scripts for Alien stated that we were supposed to see a second petrified figure, at around 15ft tall, standing unnoticed in the shadows. It probably intended for this to be the alien which burst from the Space Jockey.

....what I'm wondering now is, are we seeing something from a distorted angle, someone who is 'maybe' falling... it's possible I guess.

Yup, I meant that one. It looks exactly the same to me.

As long as I can remember from the fooatge at the con, the guy is walking and then he starts to lose gravity, and he 'slowly' starts floating to the left in the position he is in that picture. An epic shot I have to remark.

The only thing people might question is the inset picture, which is clearly landing gear of some kind, is frayed at the top but not in the offical photo. This is why I believe the official photo is distorted, or angled, and the inset pic is of landing gear seperated after the vehicle 'crashed'  .... perhaps???

If there's a loss of gravity then where's the storm coming from??   Sorry but don't buy that one....yet!

I can't make you believe my words, that's for sure. I am just telling what I saw from the footage. ;)

You can be right here. In fact I remember seeing the Predators trailer where at the end the main character gets targeted by multiple lasers, while in the movie it was actually just one. That proves that the promotional material (even the video footage) can be altered to serve marketing purposes.

I have said in a previous post, that the planet's landscape in the picture doesn't seem to be LV-426. The way the terrain looks and the complete absence of the rock pillars and arches indicates that this is another planet. The absence of the rocky formations can also be seen in the leaked production/set photos.

Therefore, the "storm" can be just added to the promotional material for people to recognize and say "hey, this looks just like the planet back in the old days". I might be wrong here, and I wish I was, but I do not fully trust the promotional material. Images can be altered, so can videos, to give us a different impression.

I am not saying that the photo is bad in any shape or form, just that we should take into consideration the facts stated above.

Yeah I'd go along with that. To be honest the "storm" thing was just a passing thought, I was more focused on the idea this might be part of a crashed or damaged ship, based on the prop from an earlier spoiler looking frayed and like part of some landing gear or a clamp, but I'm convinced the prop and the area I indicated (previous page) are the same thing at least.

Maybe a ship is taking off... Maybe its a windy planet...Maybe its a wind storm...Could be a lot of things. And upon comparisson, that helmet's nose is still curious, but I agree the size doesnt make any sense unless she were to swell a LOT.

Sorry if I am like the hundreth bloke to tell you this...but you mispelled John Hurt's character's name.  His last name was spelled "Kane".  So, your username should be KanesSon.  Again, apologies if this has already been pointed out.

Unless, of course, you were going for a Biblical reference, in which case your username should be "Enoch".   ;)

are you serious? that's certainly NOT from the movie itself but a snapshot of the site that they're staying at for the time of filming. you will neither see any of these helicopters or people with security vests running around in the movie.

It is. But reading back over your post, then yes, it maybe. I mis-read it as to mean that's how you thought the scene would look with helicopters and security vested folk included. My apologies.

Post by: Bat Chain Puller on Jul 25, 2011, 03:03:31 PM
The helicopter looks too 'today' to be something in the Alien universe (even if this is only 80 or 90 some odd years in the future)

Plus those look like portable trailers ... on the left (again, looking very much 'today' in standards)

I thought the Iceland shoot was for the the Prologue to life on Earth sequence, and that the fossil dig scene was to take place somewhere else.

The film is called 'Prometheus'
'Prometheus' is about a theft from superior-beings/gods.
That picture is obviosly the theft in progress...

Ridley Scott is making a heist movie.

Apparently that scene (photo) also was included in the video montage at Comic-Con, and evoked the feeling of Ripley blasting the alien out the Narcissus' airlock...

I extrapolate (not always successfully) that the Jockey's are using rapid decompression or sudden total gravity loss to thwart the thief...

But, as you say, maybe not.
It's fun to fanticise, though...

"For all we know"...and seeing as we know sweet FA (apart from the Fox official description...and maybe that 'other synopsis') all we have is conjecture based on those leaked pics...I like to have fun with this sort of stuff.
