Title: Prometheus

I think they actually made costumes for certain engineers. I don't believe that it's a "real" person's physique.

Surely the shape of the traps and perfect symmetry of the abs should have been the dead giveaway, especially for a Cock Jockey like yourself.

Agreed.  The traps look like they belong on another body.  They "created" the physique for the Silver Surfer in the Fantastic Four movie too. Is it really that really preferable to finding an actor with a decent body?  Why? :(

Probably harder to find a decent actor with the body they want. Or it may be just tradition to go to the effects people for stuff like this. Or it may just be that they can get exactly the idea they have in their head, rather than having to settle with something that looks close.

Not much "acting" involved in a role like this.  How long was he on screen?  You'd think they could give the role to a wanna be actor physique guy as a point of entry.  :(

what i should have said is that is sub-contracts at my gym as a personal trainer. he does not actually own this particular prop, but has been in the storage unit when he bought the Arnold props. his brother also has a whole room full of various suits and masks.

as for money making me miserable, yeah, for a while i didn't appreciate what i had.   i spent the last 5-6 years in casinos getting drunk and losing  75% of what i had.  i seem to have smartened up, realizing that money won't make you happy, but if you want to be happy it is easier if you don't have to worry about finances.

Charlize Theron Rocks Her Buzz Cut in South Africa

Charlize Theron 's hair is growing out, slowly but surely. But the Fury remains.

The Oscar winner, who shaved her head over the summer to play a post-apocalyptic badass in Mad Max: Fury Road, is still rocking a buzz cut as production winds down on the action thriller, which is due out sometime in 2014.

And, for this leg of filming at least, she gets to be shaven and shorn among loved ones!

Theron is currently in her native South Africa shooting her final scenes of  Fury Road, allowing her a chance to take time out today for lunch with her mom,  Gerda, at Camps Bay, a trendy sidewalk café in Cape Town.

Mad Max: Fury Road, costarring  Tom Hardy,  Nicholas Hoult and  Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, is due out sometime in 2014.

Theron's hair, meanwhile, is due back sometime in the spring.

The reason is because the engineers are the pinnacle of genetics, we come from them but are only a small part of them, genetically.

The symmetry, muscle mass and the fact he has no body fat is trying to further prove this point. Notice the skin too, glowing and soft, they are genetic perfection, so a regular fitness model couldnt be used for this role.

Nice find. But he still looks too stalky.
The engineer looks athletic and yet calm and relaxed--as if he could strike out at any moment and yet is supremely confident of his superiority--without a hint of violence.
--and that is precisely where the acting is important.

In other words he looked fictive.  If you are looking a physique like Bill Davey's and finding it inadequate as a representation of an ideal muscled physique, you probably have some form of body dismorphic disorder.  This happens to a lot of body building fans who get so used to seeing insanely roided muscle; you have completely lost perspective on what a good muscled physique can and should look like.  You always want bigger and more.  Even if that means morphed muscle in photographs, implants, or glued on silicon pieces.  Ken Castagnoi is another example of a real physique that could have appeared in this role.

Obviously they wouldn't need a Shakespearean actor but the acting on the last Engineer was amazing as far as subtle facial expressions and body language go, especially if you see the additional scenes.

Here's a guy at a comic-con that dressed/undressed as an Engineer.

That zombie was CGI though.  Often there's a very specific look they are going for and it's way easier to dress them as needed instead of going through the trouble of finding someone perfect, which isn't as easy as you think.  Just because they have the body they are looking for doesn't mean they can also pull of the performance they need.  Thus they will find someone who can do the performance and dress them as needed, much easier that way.

You may not have recognized him as one of the predators in AVP or the only one in AVP: Requiem. He played "The Mountain" in season 2 of Game of Thrones with speaking lines.

Aside from the height and the fact that you needed a guy that had no problem staying in costume for hours on end, they wanted to put prostetic on him.

Some of you just don't get it, his build needed to have a quasi synthetic look in order to be part of Alien lore.


Anyhow, I can't bitch on the movie it's one of the very very few actual science fiction films that have been released in the last 20 years. You get one descent sci fi ever 5 years are so and a good one every 15.
