So this is from the cut of the film we never got to see but for the glimpse we have in the trailer.

Looks to me like we should be seeing this in the Extended Edition. Also note is that while his head is extending backwards his skull, face remains in place under a new translucent like skin. Almost like the original Alien with it's prominent human skull under a transparent dome.

Is that Mohawk boy turning into an alien?

[Gazz]

I would say so, yes. At least that what it seems to imply.

Though his head is extending backwards his skull and face remains in place under a new translucent like skin. Almost like the original Alien with it's prominent human skull under a transparent dome.

And since that black stuff was essentially xeno-juice (it weaponises all it touches by turning it's victims into crazed xeno hybrids capable of infecting others with the squidburster parasite), I guess that above image pretty much nails it.

That would have been so much better than we got! Shame they went for the generic mutant angle- this would have been far more creepy

So alien Fiffield has sex with the Deacon which is a girl queen and creates.


AAAAAAAAAALIEN!!!!!

I like this a lot more than what we actually got. It's way more alien like. And looks a lot scarier than a mutated redneck.

Gollum joins the crew of the Prometheus!

Gollum? That looks straight out of Innsmouth.

i fail to conceive of any reason for why they didn't chose this over the zombie.

who the hell made this decision? holy shit.

[szkoki]

It reeks of cutting down for the rating in my opinion. I figure that once they realised they were getting an R (even on their PG13 cut) they started shaving as much as they could to keep the runtime down, which meant scenes like the one above were butchered to fit in a place that it wasn't intended to be in. With the scene's current placement the attack is over and done with in seconds, and we only get a few quick glimpses of Fifield. I think Fox/Scott probably thought the audience would not make the connection on who mutated Fifield is looking like the monster above and so left him looking slightly more recognisable as a mohawk rage zombie.

At least that's what I assume happened. Not fact.

[Darth Vile]

I personally feel that they moved away from this look to keep it 'real' as opposed to CGI... and to try and distance it from something more comparable to the xeno??? It's hard to say without seeing what the alternative would be like 'in action' so to speak.

What they did to Fifield in the theatrical release was a wasted chance. I want this Fifield in the BluRay release.
