I'm not sure if I like the idea of Vickers being an android.
I quite like the idea of her acting like one because that's what her father responds better to (a human making herself in the image of an android made in the image of humanity).
It might be fun to reveal that there is more than one David on board by compositing footage from one scene into another.
That way we could have a 'nicer David' who is interested in humanity and a more literally obedient slave who spikes Holloway's drink etc.
There could be a bit of ambiguity at the end regarding which one Shaw has left with.
What's odd is the way she slams David up against the wall, when we see him show off superhuman strength. Maybe she just caught him off guard?
The clip of Shaw is a pretty different aspect ratio to the actual film - pretty tall. Not sure how you'd include it. Maybe side by side but that might be overkill - 4 Shaws...
- there will probably be more viral clips released before the bluray, we've seen two since release already. Weyland muttering to himself and some doctor talking about the magical properties of the medpod.
Also noticed the date on the clip is 2079 - that would make sure about 18 at the time. That also means they've been hounding Weyland for years and probably had quite a few discoveries at that point.
I would think that she probably wouldn't have learned that she couldn't have children until she tried, but they never really explore that idea. not in any interesting way, anyhow. Would she really be planning the family in the middle of travelling the globe digging through caves? and in 2079 she should be too young to be concerned with such things..
it really does feel like they threw ideas into a hat and pulled them out randomly.
Somebody said the other day that the creatures in the film all seems to have features we'd identify with marine life / sea creatures. I hadn't really thought about it until then. The chestburster has a fin, the snake / worm has a hammerhead, there's a squid...
I wonder if it's an indication of a radically changed setting or just an interesting design concept..
