Closer look at a possible Space Jockey? (SPOILERS)

[Tough little S.O.B.]

Now this nullifies 70% of the EU that features this creature.

They're controlling the European Union too? That explains a lot.

jajajajaajaja Im having trouble understanding what EU stands for too....

[Never say no to Panda!]

The bald guy is a member of the crew, who have stolen fire from the gods. Do the math man.

So...he is Vin Diesel, right?

... Well yeah.

Hell yes baby, i knew it...this gonna be The Fasts & Furious in space! 

[Tough little S.O.B.]

i don't see why people are still talking about biomechanics. they're simply not there in any of the press stuff we've seen

It was stated in the Comic Con footage description:  "There will be biomechanoids."

Nothing scapes to JaaayDee.

He's also in the wheelchair:


And behind the armed men:

looks like he has to crouch in order to get in because he is so tall maybe?

Well i resized both images and put one on the top of another, angle of the platform and perspective of both images arent the same but close enough.

He doesn't look evolved but retarded.

Bald men are retarded??? Why he has to look retarded...

I was talking about the actor.

Is that better?

Nice work. The 'star map' shot is form further away. Gonna look at this for scale as well. Thanks.

ye its is, but the perspective isnt the same, so i was tryin to fit the scale by matching the size of these  big "engine tubes" on the platform.

I'll just expand on what I said here.

As said there, I might come straight as a whiny fanboy or someone along the lines thereof, but I will just state my thoughts on the matter. If what we are seeing in that screenshot is, indeed, one of the famed 'Space Jockeys', I am disappointed by this aspect of the film. Such a thing is, of course, an assumption, as that
I'll be honest in saying the suit aspect, since when it was just 'whispered', never convinced me... bar any comparison you want with Independence Day... that wasn't the first thing that popped in my mind. What holds that place is the thought of those ribs... those bent-out ribs, they were just part of a suit? That head we get a dramatic and eerie close-up of, with its empty and dead-for-aeons orbital holes... was not a head? Yeah... didn't excite me in the slightest when Scott confirmed it in an interview - quite the opposite in fact, but I could see why such a choice would be made, as it would allow for more artistic liberties to be taken, instead of being chained to what's already set up. From this point I was hoping either for something 'close but not the same as' this 'suit', or something fresh and not disappointing. At this point, the design possibilities were virtually endless - they could've brought up the worst pages of the Necronomicon to life, the ones that looked more alien, more otherwordly: the great beast with its writhing, tentacled head, that biomechanical dragon-thing ('Alien IV' to get specific), or what have you. Instead, what we actually get is a bald giant with biomechanical qualities... ohhh, that's great, with all the flying great f**k they could've come up with, that's what we get. The much-famed Space Jockey, the thing we've all been waiting to see alive and kicking onscreen, is a giant bald man. How unquestionably great.

"You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain"... I've never really realized how true this statement could be hahaha.

All of this, of course, in-keeping that Mr. Giger-Diesel up here being indeed the Jockey is nothing less or more than an assumption, since for all we know, that thing could be anything.

Agree. I want the SJ to be the SJ.

I'm watching Alien right now and the differences in size are far from negligable.

Just looked bigger in the original film. The set built for Prometheus honors the size of the original (the yellow lines are of the same length):

The Prometheus chair is not fully raised, and the people in the Alien shot are children.

-Chris

In Alien the people was children, because The chair needs to look bigger as it was. So the jockeys MUST be  bigger than human

The Jockey looks smaller in the shot of Dallas etc getting closer. It looks its biggest in the children stand-in shots.

[Mastes1]

Its obviously the jockey to me, he's getting ready to take off probably right before the ship gets shot down. Imo it looks terrible, Scott has really messed up this part of the film and destroyed the wonder of ALIEN. It also looks like that guy was right who said the huge head was a bust of the space jockeys head, they look identical to me.
I don't care what anyone says, the jockey in ALIEN was obviously a skeleton with bones, it was not a freaking suit. I blame Linderof for this, he's a complete dumbass.

Jockeys are quite at the same size as Predators, according to this picture.

The proportions are wrong.
According to the trailer when he's in the wheelchair he's human size.

i wouldn't blame lindelof for it, as far as i know scott had the suit idea years ago, not long after alien.

lindelof was basically there just to add some drama to the script rather than have anything to do with those sort of ideas and just did what he was told.

thanks

And if it's not the man in the wheelchair and it is really a Jockey?
