Depictions of severe eye trauma in movies really creeps me
out, whether it’s the grueling close-up of a splinter impaling an eyeball in Zombi 2 or the underground eye
replacement surgery in Minority Report. I’d quite frankly rather watch someone’s head
explode in slow motion. I suspect I’m
not alone in feeling that way. I also
suspect that director Ridley Scott realizes just how many people absolutely
hate the idea of anything foreign going into, or coming out, of their eyes.
That might explain the downright creepy image revealed by this
gif. It was made from a tiny but of
footage lifted from one of the recent Prometheus
trailers. It shows a character examining
his eyeball in a mirror and finding…something.
It looks like a tiny, worm of some sort, trying to wriggle free of his
eyeball.
When presenting the full trailer at SXSW not too long ago,
Scott suggested that Prometheus had
something that would outdo the infamous “chestburster” scene in the original Alien. If this is what he was hinting at, my skin is
already crawling. People would be afraid
to look at their own eyeballs in the mirror for years to come, which would
probably be the highest possible compliment to Scott as a filmmaker.
Thanks to Devin over at Badass Digest for the scoop.
