Interesting picture for sure. No more doubts about the Giger temple are there?

MemberOvomorphMar-22-2012 6:09 AMI lived in South Africa for 8 years - that background looks suspiciously like the Drakkensberg mountains, and the shot we see of Prometheus where the vehicle are leaving, the background seems to be from the 12 Apostles in Cape Town (Camps Bay, where I lived) albeit with some digital manipulation... I'd recognise that rock strata anywhere:

MemberOvomorphMar-22-2012 10:32 AM@Kronik While I'll admit the rock structures are similar, this sort of formation of hills isn't unique. Having researched this film quite a bit already, I can say that they have definitely not been on location in South Africa for any of the filming.
Filming locations were:
Albert R. Broccoli 007 Stage, Pinewood Studios, Iver Heath, Buckinghamshire, England, UK
(studio)
Ciudad de la Luz, Alicante, Comunidad Valenciana, Spain
(water scenes)
Dettifoss, Vatnajökull National Park, Iceland
Fort William, Glen Coe, Highland, Scotland, UK
Hekla, Rangárvallasýsla, Iceland
Iceland
Inverness, Highland, Scotland, UK
Pinewood Studios, Iver Heath, Buckinghamshire, England, UK
(studio)
Rannoch Moor, Highland, Scotland, UK
The Storr, Isle of Skye, Highland, Scotland, UK

MemberOvomorphMar-22-2012 11:51 AMI think we'll have to agree to disagree ; )
Personally, I don't think they'd send out a location crew to South Africa just for a couple of CGI mattes for background scenes.
Just sat down with a couple of friends from Newcastle (SA not UK) and watched their jaws drop when I played the scene. They confirm what I think, and also pointed me to this:
Golden Pool, Drakensberg... Familiar? : )
