Parasite in head.........

Awesome share, I have not seen this before. Definitely looks like something jumping out of something. To me its looks like somekind of parasite or frog like creature jumping out of what looks like either a helmet or some kind of egg sac.

I always did think it looked like some kind of egg

I see something, but the animated gif moves way too fast. In fact it was hurting my brain to watch that lol. Maybe post a slower one for closer examination!?

Thanks for the share......that's as interesting and enticing as anything we've scene in a long time.....interesting....very interesting (I say in a thick, deep, peculiar European accent).

Man, I think you're onto something. Can't say for sure, but it looks like it could be the same scene. I wish that leaked trailer was a little clearer. If it is a parasite/creature and that's a head, maybe it finds it's way into Holloway's head and that's what we're seeing under the skin of his face moving around. Purely speculating here.

BTW it does look more like a egg sac of some sort than a head, but I know that's speculated to be Jockey head as well.

UGH, just had a disturbing thought about a parasite in the head the way that I just described it. Sounds too much like the Goa'uld from Stargate (Which is also based on ancient astronaut theories), I love that show, but I want to see something different here.

If we could have this gif as a sequence of stills. You can open this up in Photoshop and/or Gimp and export each frame as a jpeg but I'm too lazy to do it now. BTW, there is another leaked trailer similar to this one but with the words "WILD CARD" across the center of the screen. The video is much like a mix of the official trailer and the SKIP FILM trailer. Google is your friend.

just checking

I think you should change the first part of your name from 'take-the-pain' to 'I-am-a'......

He's cutting and pasting from his late father's memoirs yet again!

So forgetting about this guys disturbing personal diary and back on subject. I think you found something very interesting Bellaisanalien and if you're right just as big a find as the blue guy in jockey chair room, IMO at least. One more thing I don't remember seeing anybody post about was that the Jockey suits behind Noomi in the hallway are assumed by most to possibly be statues, however the body next to the "head" is definitely not a statue as it laying limp like a dead body would. Any thoughts on this.

Wow this thread is really interesting... and it made me remember Ridley saying that small things will have great importance and impact on the plot. Perhaps a small parasite adheres to the helmet of Holloway's, then this parasite is removed without any apparent risk. But what they don't know is that small and simple event will begin a bloody massacre unprecedented; and that it will finally conclude with the extermination of the crew. The idea of creatures or parasites that they break into the helmets of the crew really scares me... Regards

But if this thing came out of the head of SJ then: It's just a scavenger that fed on the dead body of the Space Jockey, like a vulture ... Or is the biological weapon that killed the SJ.

if you look to the right of the gif a the end, there seems to be a hand that lifts up

@elder, You mean what looks like a black skeleton hand?, At the same time seems a tentacle.

That would totally fill in with what I was thinking that Ridley is using some of the aspects of the first Alien script that were later written out in Prometheus. I'm not talking about reusing the story which would be completely STUPID, but instead they're using some elements + ideas. In the trailer you can obviously see jars, or urns, in this giant monolithic temple-thing. Well if you look in the original Alien script I was talking about, look what happens: [b]Script Excerpt[/b] Broussard is standing on a dusty stone floor, with a feeble column of sunlight shining down around him from the tunnel above. Around is solid darkness. He flashes his datastick around. The beam reveals that he is in a stone room. STRANGE HEIROGLYPHICS are carved into the walls. They have a primitive, religious appearance. Row after row of pictograms stretch from floor to ceiling, some epic history in an unknown language. Huge religious symbols dominate one wall. Spaced at intervals are stylized stone statues, depicting grotesque monsters, half anthropoid, half octopus. BROUSSARD It’s unbelievable! It’s like some kind of tomb… some primitive religion! Hey, is anybody there? Do you read me? Standard! Annoyed, Broussard yanks off his breathing goggles, and leaves them hanging around his neck. He takes a deep breath of the wet air. EXTERIOR - BASE OF PYRAMID - LATE AFTERNOON Standard and Melkonis are standing around nervously. STANDARD If we don’t hear from him soon, I think we better go in after him. MELKONIS Sun will be down in a minute. INTERIOR - TOMB - LATE AFTERNOON Face bare, Broussard approaches the center of the room, which is dominated by a large, broad pedestal. On the pedestal are ROWS OF LEATHERY URNS OR JARS, EXACTLY LIKE THE ONE BROUSSARD STUMBLED ACROSS IN THE ALIEN SHIP — EXCEPT THESE ARE ALL SEALED. He walks around the urns, studying them. They all have sealed lids. He shines his light on one of them; then he lays his gloved hand on it. He lifts his mask radio to his lips. BROUSSARD I don’t know if you can hear me, but the place is full of large bottles or jars, just like the one we found on the other ship — except these are all sealed. Also they’re soft to the touch. He peers more closely at the leathery object. BROUSSARD (CONT’D) Another funny thing — I just put my hand on it, and now there are these raised areas appearing where my fingertips were. EXTERIOR - BASE OF PYRAMID - DAY THE SUN DROPS BELOW THE HORIZON, throwing the landscape into gloom. Standard and Melkonis switch on their lights. STANDARD Let’s go. He attaches his chest unit to the wire and starts up. INTERIOR - TOMB - NIGHT Broussard is moving his light along the rows of heiroglyphs on the wall. They depict stylized drawings of strange monsters. He pauses to quickly change the film clip in his datastick; then he turns back to the “urn” he was examining — BUT NOW THERE IS A HOLE IN THE TOP OF IT. He shines his light on the floor at the base of the “urn.” There lies the “lid” — the stopper that had filled the hole. He picks it up and studies it. It appears more organic than artificial; the inside surface is spongy and irregular. Then he turns the light to the now-open “urn.” He bends over the mouth of the “urn” shining the light in, AND WITH SHOCKING VIOLENCE, A SMALL, OCTOPUS-LIKE THING LEAPS OUT AND ATTACHES ITSELF TO HIS FACE, WRAPPING ITS TENTACLES AROUND HIS HEAD. With a MUFFLED SCREAM, he launches himself backward, tearing at the thing with his hands. That would totally fit in!

Yeah that would totally fit in. Nice find on the old Pyramid Script.

I'll post on some stills of the final sequence and try to highlight the face, etc.

@BellaisanAlien, Cool stuff! Thanks! But I'm not sure what you are trying to say with the lighting. I separated all of the images in the gif and have analyzed them. I also recreated the gif and slowed it wayyyy down. So there is a lot to say about this. First off, the very first image is a humaniod with its mouth open. You can clearly see the humanoids eye. Would you concur? Or anyone else concur?

Interesting.... it would thus apear that Ridley is going to base some elements of this movie on parts of the orginal Alien Script that never got used, also seems that some parts of the Dune Temple that Giger was working on for Dune that never got used would also be used as a part of this movie. Interesting is that Original Script descibes the the lifeform comming from out of the urns and not Eggs. I guess latter Ridley adopted the Egg Idea for the Face Hugger in Alien. Another interesting thing is the desciption of a Octopus and we know that fits in with the Squid Type Creature that is in the Shaw C-Section Scene.
