Official "Ridley Scott's Prometheus" Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

[Khev]

That someone needs to actually watch the movie then because Weyland was killed when the iRobot Engineer bitchslapped him with Magneto's torn off head.

While Vickers and the Prometheus flight crew were watching his vitals flatline on the monitors.

Vickers absolutely was not an android. Why would Weyland program an android to be pissed at him and want him to die so she could take over his company? David was the top of the line and he stated point blank that he was incapable of experiencing disappointment, a trait Vickers very clearly lacked. And if she WAS somehow an android more "emotionally diverse" than David why would she bother wasting precious seconds before the ship collided suiting up when it was established earlier that androids don't need them? She was definitely human.

Ehhh... not convinced.

Maybe she THOUGHT she was human.

 

[DPrime]

yesh

here is the FULL Weyland Ted Talk extended though: https://vimeo.com/50383392
It was exclusive to the Blu Ray

Ah, okay. Didn't recognize the second guy.

I didn't say you have to be convinced, I just said that she was definitely human.

He's in a crabwalk pose when the poor guy walks up to him =)

I certainly don't think there's anything "definite" about it. Even if she is human, Scott went out of his way to sow doubt.

 

[screamingmetal]

He never appeared "young" in the actual movie, did he? Just the marketing?

Makes me wonder if there are plans for him still...

BTW, CarrotBun, what exactly is going on in that sig of yours? I mean, I recognize it, kind of...

It was revealed in the Prometheus special features that Scott hired someone young so he could appear in scene that was cut where Weyland would be dreaming that he was young, communicating with David on a futuristic yacht in hypersleep.

That's why we had to put up with what I would call poorly done aging makeup (I didn't think it was as bad as some would say it is).

 

[Devil_666]

Regarding Vickers: She's human. Unless you believe Weyland designed Vickers with infinitely more emotional capabilities than David, which makes absolutely no sense. Vickers freaks the hell out when the ship (during that asinine scene) is about to fall on her. That's more emotion than David, Ash and Bishop have ever shown, combined.

David 8 shows quite a bit of emotion
the emotion of love!!
that is why he picks on Elizabeth most, watches her dreams, and selects her boyfriend to die
Fassbender said it was a love story in an interview with Noomi. But she disagreed, saying he was a toaster

I hope Ridley will play with that a bit in the sequel.

Her being or not being an android is left ambiguous on purpose to let the viewer decide what he/she thinks, but there is also some relation to the Alien movies about how Ash and Call behaved as androids.

From a Charliez Theron interview June 2012, her own words:

"We played around with a lot of stuff, I’ll just say that, nonspecific things. I don’t think we ever went like that … [puts her finger down as if pressing a button] But we played around with a lot of stuff, and we threw a lot of stuff out there very loosely, and maybe they influenced some of it a little bit, but there was definitely something that happened once David and I kind of stood next to each other, where I started feeling like his posture was overtaking my posture. There’s the good age-old question like, ‘Is the chicken before the egg?’ Like, is it him or is it me or is it part of my DNA in him? We did talk about that a lot, that it was nice to have something ambiguous about the origins of both of us, maybe, like why do we look so much alike? Why am I walking so much like him? Is it that I am an android or is it that I gave him human qualities, that I gave him my DNA? We played with a lot of that ****, which was fun."
