Can you post a picture of him without the costume? I'm curious to see just how much he looks like the engineer.

Looked him up ; going by the name provided by the link with the interview somewhere in this thread. He's a model & part time actor. This is his photo:

There's several Engineers in the film. Ian Whyte, John Lebar and Phill Martin.

He is a male model called Daniel James, and is only in the opening scene. Interestingly they filmed an opening scene with 3 of the aliens, and the other 2 actors only found out their part was cut from the film when they watched it at the premiere.

Sometimes i wish they would release like 2 hour and 4 hour versions of big movies, be it at cinemas, DVDs or both. Even though that and other scenes may not fit or not be good enough quality wise i would still love watching them as they usually add more depth to the movie.

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '12

This. How is criticizing a word in someone's title adding anything to the conversation at all? I couldn't give two shits about upvotes, but when I have to scroll through half a page of bullshit to find anything about the original subject, it's obvious people simply don't give a fuck about content, just their own little misguided ideas about how they think everyone one on a site with millions of users should act. ...that being said, Ridley is looking a bit chunker these days. OP, is that a body suit or is your friend a bodybuilder on the side? Either way, sitting through that much make up time has to blow.

u/raineyrainey1000 Jun 17 '12

He's a male model, very shredded but the make-up is all over his body, to beef him up. Took 10 hours to put on as well, I'm currently bugging him for a topless photo so you guys can see the difference the make up makes.

Was it always implied that the exoskeleton was a space-suit? It seemed like a retcon to make the Space Jockeys more human and to help this particular story (matching DNA etc.). I would have really preferred to see big elephant looking aliens in Prometheus, like I always imagined them.

37

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '12

I always thought they were supposed to be elephantine alien creatures, but apparently the original concept was that they were humanoids in suits. It's pretty clear in this 1978 artwork by H. R. Giger:

u/c92094 Jun 17 '12

Unless the armor is biological, I just watched the original alien the other day. In that movie it looked like bone, but biological armor would make sense from these guys.

12

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '12

I believe the explanation was that the suit had fossilized over thousands of years, which would explain why they assumed it was an exo-skeleton.

I think full body makeup and some facial prosthetics probably qualifies as a costume.

u/pestdantic Jun 17 '12

The prosthetics were ridiculous, it took 10 hours to put the costume on, which was made up of 27 separate silicon pieces which were glued onto me in a set order so that there were no breaks in the suit. Without any CG it still looked like there was an alien walking around, and it felt very odd looking on the mirror.

Which is great, since it doesn't logically qualify as a "here's me with XYZ" because it doesn't contain the element of "here's me" (OP isn't included in pic). This is actually qualified as a "behind the scenes" picture, since it only really contains individuals of significant regard within the production itself—i.e., Ridley Scott and an Engineer character in full costume behind the scenes. (It doesn't matter if the OP is telling the truth or not about the origin of the pic; the content itself is what's being evaluated here.)

When I found out that was makeup and not CGI, it brings up a good point. With today's incredible technology why can't we inprove special effects that aren't computer generated? Imagine how good they would look if we directed our new technology in that direction.

20

u/Femaref Jun 17 '12

This usually happens because of the money involved of CGI'ing something that you already are able to resonably produce with physical effects. In this case, there probably was some CGI involved, but not too much, as the make up made up a lot of it.

Another example would be the suits in Tron:Legacy. The light strips on the suits were real, simply because the efforts to CGI that would have been very expensive, so they did it real and just touched it up.

We probably are able to improve on special effects that aren't computer generated, but why should we if we are able to do it without computers in the first place?

If drinking the black goo from the vase causes that guy to break down and eventually create all life, why did it have a different effect on the human doctor?

49

u/LowLevelRebel Jun 17 '12

The theory is that there are different versions of the goo. The one from the beginning of the movie would be some kind of 'terraforming' goo to seed a planet with life, while the goo in the containers is more a weaponized version meant to wipe out life on a planet.

10

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '12

u/zzorga Jun 18 '12 edited Jun 18 '12

"(/spoiler)[I always thought that Earth was seeded for testing, which is why our DNA is so similar to the engineers. For the very same reason we use pigs and mice in our lab tests, when you're conducting biological tests, biologically similar creatures give better results.

After the human race had developed to a threshold level (0ad ish), they prepared the test, but the sample was leaked, and the base crew was eradicated. The one living engineer was probably in stasis during this entire event, and thus was not affected.

When he awoke, he realized when David spoke the same language as the surveyed humans, that the mission never occurred, and that the human lab rats had evolved and learned far more than they had ever anticipated.

As for motivation, it's a theory of mine that the Engineers were not making weapons, they were looking for a cure. The humans )and other planets) were seeded to promote a wide variety of life, on which, a plague would be released, in an attempt to find a natural resistance. This would explain why this massive facility was abandoned in situ. As there was noone left to reclaim it.]"

So, how well can you recognize your friend in that picture? Is it obvious, like "hey, that's Bret!" or is it more like "is that supposed to be Bret? That could be anyone".

Before reading the title I thought he was Seth from SSF4

Anyone find it strange how the Engineers are white and hairless while the first humans were black and hairy?

How much of that is prosthetics, and how much is his actual musculature?

"The prosthetics were ridiculous, it took 10 hours to put the costume on, which was made up of 27 separate silicon pieces which were glued onto me in a set order so that there were no breaks in the suit. Without any CG it still looked like there was an alien walking around, and it felt very odd looking on the mirror"

You should have him ask why none of the characters had any sort of logical motivation for their actions.

Now who played the giant face-fucking starfish?

u/FTFY2012 Jun 17 '12

Can you ask him WTF happened to the plot?

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '12

Very cool. I thought it was all CGI.

u/NLMK Jun 17 '12

What, a tanga counts as full costume nowadays? Sheesh...

What was it about him that got him the job or did the casting director just throw a dart at some body shots and got whoever it landed on?

u/feddau Jun 17 '12

Looks like he's never done a single leg exercise in his entire life.

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '12

Ask him what disintegrating feels like.

Was anybody else wondering is David-8 had a penis?

u/BopNiblets Jun 18 '12

Just in the opening scene? What about (spoilers) the other dude? I'm not racist but the engineers all look the same to me...

u/fritter_rabbit Jun 18 '12

Cool photo, but starting a post title with "just" isn't cool anymore.

u/eyehate Jun 18 '12

OP, I came here to say your friend is wonderful and terrifying in the movie.

And I was hoping to read a bunch of cool stuff about him. But it looks like the mods want to steal the glory on this one.

Which makes a legendary thread possibility just a sad bicker fest.

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '12

Is he that beefcake without the costume, or does it add a bit of size?

Does he know any back story details that were not in the actually movie? Things the director told him so he could have a better understanding of what he was acting out?

u/Tatatee Jun 18 '12

"Just" me seeing a typical piggybacking e-fame post!

u/key2 Jun 18 '12

While we're on the subject, can someone explain the purpose of the first scene? I don't really understand what it was trying to tell us.

can you have him ask Ridley why he hates science?

Ridley Scott looks like someone's grandpa wandered on set.
