EXCLUSIVE: Prometheus finishes shooting at Pinewood

Earlier this year we learned that the Prometheus film crew would be occupying most of the stages at Pinewood Studios in England until July before moving on to shoot on location.

Today an anonymous reader sent me a handful of photos showing sets being torn down and props thrown away, proving that Prometheus has now finished filming at Pinewood Studios.
My source says a lot of the props were marked 'Morocco', so a wild guess would be that that's where they are now as filming in Iceland has finished.

One photo that stands out in particular is the one below showing an airlock door from the side. The prop is marked 'Magellan mess deck', which indicates that there may be more than one human space ship present in Prometheus. We've heard earlier that one of the ships is named Prometheus.

UPDATE: All images have been removed by request from 20th Century Fox.

  3. The door really looks like the one on the Nostromo... Perhaps it really is the same company?

  4. This brings back memories of watching "Giger's Alien" where they show the original Alien sets being ripped apart and destroyed. I remember Hans himself making a comment of how hard it was to watch.
    Its always hard for me to see such works of production art set out to pasture like this but it happens with every movie. Such is the way of the beast. I know if I could, I'd be pulling up a Rent-a-Truck to haul ALL that stuff away

  5. Just for clarification: "Giger's Alien" was a documentary shot by Giger during production back in '79.

  7. The fourth pic from the bottom looks like a dead jockey lying against the weird telescope thing. Also part of it looks like parts from the derelict across from it.

  10. Amazing! But damnit, why do the "juicier" photos have to be so grainy?

    Btw, is there a way to get "Giger's Alien" anywhere? There doesn't seem to be any info anywhere. Is it a rare relic now?

    Where's the real footage already??

  24. I think these confirm two things for sure; one is the this indeed does take place in the same world as "Alien" and my be fairly closely tided in to it, and two that the "Space Jockey" alien race will be in it as a lot of those photos look exactly like the derelict ship found on LV-426 by the crew of the Nostromo.
