At 1:12 you can see the hand of the engineer just inside the frame and he's walking towards that 'extra' and she totally freezes while a merc is shooting at him, HE'S TOTALLY GONNA KILL 'ER I TELLS YA!!

I think engineers hate women.
Spoiler
The engineer race exterminated their own women in their demented quest for a perfect race, driven by the madness of their own religion. Now they don't procreate... they just cre-ate (themselves) via genetic engineering, they have perfect body's with unnaturally symetric faces and such features. Anyway... that's why he kills her I think. Could be wrong tho.... so.. don't bet too high.

It's not you. He's just there to attract a young female audience. The way he says 'anything and everything' especially doesn't impress me AT ALL. I bet he didn't even talk to 1 scientist to do research for this role.

The "extra" is Kate Dickie, actually. You can see the VFX guys make a 3D scan of her. What for ? Virtual mangling ? Wouldn't that be better done the Rob Bottin way ? Unless she dies in a very, very weird fashion.
Your speculations about the Engineers make sense.

Pffft. Who needs to research for roles and stuff? They can just wing it. It's just a movie ya know. Not like it becomes representative of anything.

Next you'll be expecting them to use logic, and stuff.  ;D


eeh... Sorry, i'm dragging baggage from one thread to another.  :)

Did I just hear Holloway's character state that this was his first "intergalactic" mission.  Did I really just hear that right?  I mean, he is supposed to be a scientist, so I presume he knows the correct meaning of the term?

Okay, so it wasn't enough to feature FTL travel...Ridley has to take us to a completely different goddamn galaxy!!   ;D

Evidentally 100 billion plus stars in our Milky Way isn't a big enough playground.

Thank you for saying this. I've been waiting for this moment.

Hahaha!

Sadly, all it would have taken is reading one science book for five seconds to realize "DOI, I should use "extrasolar" but no. They're too busy asking about the origin of man to do that:)


I pretty much knew Holloway wasn't gonna be that great a character from what I was seeing already, but that doesn't detract from the rest of the characters. They all seem pretty awesome so far.

For those of you with a deep-seated fear of French subtitles, this also exists.

If we don't stop it, there won't be any home to go back to!

I'm still believing that a literal link to the world of Blade Runner will be established in Prometheus...a mention of the Tyrell corporation by name, etc...

There's some HUGE things we're not being told...grand revelations...of which reminds me. Patrick Wilson said this

"It was an absolute thrill," Wilson said of his time on Scott's set. "I was blown away by [the script] and I don't use that sort of phrase a lot, but I was blown away by it, so excited that I wanted to read it again. I just kept re-reading it, even though I knew what was coming. And put it this way, I've never done this, I've never finished the shooting on a movie, and then on the ride home read the script again. I had no reason to read it, it was not work-oriented, I just really loved it, it's so cool."

The name is a giveaway.

His "way" is "hollow".

Tbh I have this feeling since I first saw him in the teaser, I hope he dies a horrible death :D

I kind of like Holloway. I thought he looked almost sickly in early stills from the landing sequence, so  I figured he was searching for some kind of health extending tech OR was treating the trip as his final bucket list item.

Now he reads as avg dudebro  and I'll take that over a Shaw who seems  too much like the "too stupid too live" women's fic heroines I can't stand.
