Multilevel humor.

Ridley Scott referring to the Space Jockey: "That wasn’t a skeleton, that was a suit."

Definition of 'Empty Suit'

"Someone who is high up in a company due to unfair hiring practices, such as nepotism, and doesn't really do anything for the company. It could also refer to someone who makes themselves out to be much more able or important than they really are. Generally, the term is used to describe someone who is not particularly good at their job."

Picture you posted of Shaw (Rapace) in a space suit. (space jockey, but not THE Space Jockey. Get it? Shaw is a space jockey, but not an 'empty suit'.

I understand your confusion regarding my attempt at humor. It was evidently diffused by the actual appearance of the two "empty" Space Jockey" suits in the tunnel.

Carter Burke is a good example of an empty suit.

I don't think Vickers (Charlize Theron), the corporate suit, will be the Prometheus version of Carter Burke.

I certainly hope not.

There is a rumor? that another Prometheus trailer, with dialog, will be released in early Feb, possibly during the Super Bowl. (No evidence that Fox has bought any time during the Super Bowl.) Source:Prometheus-movie.com

I would imagine that if Prometheus is the Fox 'tent pole' summer film of the year then some kind of promo during the superbowl would be expected. No offence to Alien universe fans (i'm one myself, even have the Judge Dredd vs Aliens graphic novel) but i want to see a trailer that moves the story into a wider universe rather than being a tie-back to Scott's first film.

There is a third one directly behind her. Lighten the image and look above her head. It appears closer to her than the other two.

Holy Balls! I didn't catch any of them earlier!

[jcstucke]

I know it's probably been said before, but I just found out that Damon Lindelof is a co-writer on this movie!?!?! Maybe we'll get some questions about LOST resolved finally!!!

So, did Kate Dickie reveal more than she should have? Or is this more spurious information from a questionable source? Spoiler? Alert: http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Prome...oid-28912.html

You can read the scanned source here: http://www.avpgalaxy.net/2012/01/13/...s-kate-dickie/

I checked The Daily Star U.K. site archives for Friday 13th 2012 but could not find the article.

I guess maybe the part about skeletal monsters hunting the crew on the ship. Doesn't seem like much of a spoiler to me though either. It's not like we were expecting E.T. here. It's a sci-fi horror movie, so yes, we are gonna see the crew in jeopardy from an alien species.

[Show spoiler]"things start to go horribly wrong when skeletal, alien monsters start hunting the crew through the chambers of their ship, Prometheus."

Now THAT'S what I want to hear!
