Found the Pearce quote:

Quote:

Even though Guy Pearce was confirmed for a role in Ridley Scott's Prometheus, there's been little to no mention of him. He spoke with MTV today and explained, "I'm only [in the film] for a minute, but it was a real honor to work with Ridley [Scott], to see what was going on," he said. "I think Michael Fassbender, Noomi Rapace and Charlize Theron and everybody will do a really spectacular job."

http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/27970

While I don't think Guy was speaking in quantitative terms here and will appear for more than 60 seconds, its intriguing to consider how his role in the plot will be encapsulated in so compressed a period..

This was the root item which led me to ponder whether a brain transplant/imprint onto a David model was a possibility.

I am convinced the planetoid LV-426 as described in Alien is the same planetoid the Prometheus lands on in the Prometheus movie. There is a slim possibility that they land on one of the other two smaller planetoids orbiting the ringed gas giant. The ringed gas giant can be clearly seen in the Prometheus trailers and the opening scenes of the Alien movie.

It might be in the same system, but look at this picture. The ships landed differently (vertically instead of horizontally), and unless the temple gets destroyed in the process, there was no evidence of it anywhere in Alien.

Been lurking for a while. This is probably nothing, and I apologise if it has been mentioned before, but I was playing with the images in the blue flashes posted earlier and saw what looks to be an arm and a shoulder of someone (with the black smear at the top their head) on the right of the image looking at ...something in the centre. I put a few yellow dots around what looks to me to be a head. Is that an eye on the left of it?

Meh...

This is an old piece of speculation btw, but it's curious how nothing so far has proven it wrong.

hehe, I hate to play Devil's advocate once more, but one early bit I ran across which came from the production camp itself was that there is supposedly a sex scene involving two men.

I would be delighted if this were not the case, mind you. Live and let live, and no offense to any gays whatsoever, but absolutely no interest here in seeing even a cursory treatment of a butt love scene in a film I have the worst jones in half my life to see..The connotation here is that Scott was looking to exploit something galvanizing to shock the audience, and chose homosexuality for that purpose.

Its possible this was sourced alongside one of the bunk scripts, too. I'm looking for proof that production commented on it, till I find it, do not regard as more than rumor patrol.

Almost certainly trout-worthy but I was looking at the video again and noticed a dot on the lower, large black sphere as it hits 10 seconds. I don't recognise it from earlier versions and it seems odd to have something appear on a stock sphere image. Thoughts?

I stared at that video for quite awhile- yes that is new- the medium black sphere. And the grid lines are gone?

edit- Where is the video from? I just looked at timeline and corp investor page- and they look like old with grid & no black sphere.

Just checked the bg video against a copy I made last week. The sphere with the dot is the same then as now (last copy was 22nd).
The less direction there is in the ARG for us, the more we start to see things that might not be there. So I'd put that down to noticing something that you didn't before.
The grid doesn't appear if you look at the video directly but is visible if you are looking at the video as part of the background to the website e.g. investors page r about us etc).

to clarify, the grid is a css layer overlaying the video. either the mp4 or ogv sphere video plays under it.

grid:

underneath it plays one of these videos, depending on browser support:

Somebody's gettin fired!...just sloppy!

Or SMS limit?

Each of the three paragraphs is 255 characters long, the last two have spaces at the end as the final character. Assuming this information wasn't texted into the developers by the PMs there must be a logic behind the lengths.

The shots of Shaw/Vickers running away, they're running from the slip which is rolling over after that crash, IMO

Yes, but if you see the last pic in the attachment, you'll notice the coloring is darker than the previous one and the ship "cooled off", indicating a time difference between both scenes.

To be honest, I think that's an interesting spin on the things, because people won't be expecting that. Sexual preferences aside and all, I think Hollywood is extremely conservative when it comes to same-sex relationships (even if there's no sex on screen involved), and in turn moviegoers consider it shocking and off-putting. If it was more common (in a respectful way, of course), more people would be tolerant towards it. It's all about prejudices, and mind you, I'm not judging you at all while saying this, but I do think this shouldn't be much of an issue.

I don't think it's the case because of Shaw/Holloway's relationship, I can't imagine Holloway cheating her with an android, of all things. I'd cheat her with Vickers, maybe Very Happy

I agree... the ancient ship has attempted to take off... either they have tried to stop it and succeeded or perhaps what is attacking the humans has attacked the awakened ancient astronaut and causes the crash.

Well we do see in the trailer that the Prometheus crashes into the derelict, and no it's probably not at the end because the editors were given the full film apart from the final 11 minutes (the rumoured Alien DNA bit)

Scott said the "Alien DNA" part was meant to be the Space Jockey, as in, he'd explain his origins and maybe the purpose, but also said it wasn't the same we saw in Alien nor the same ship, and that Prometheus won't lead to it. What I think it'll happen is that we'll understand (through speculation) the reason why that ship was crashed in that planetoid, in Alien, and why was loaded with eggs, but not through a explicit scene indicating it, more like saying "these kind of ships drop bioweapons in planets and it was supposed to head to Earth, but the Prometheus crew jammed the signal and made it crash somewhere else", something like that. Remember that what we know about the derelict is that it was transmitting an alien warning signal, but it was mistook as an invitation to come in and explore.

In Alien, there were 3 moons around the 'ringed giant' planet.
Also, you see a ringed giant on the promo shot/clips.

Maybe its just one of the other moons, or way far away on the same one, moons can be huge.

Just guessing.
