Terrifying Concept Art for PROMETHEUS' Chestbuster Sex Scene

A couple of weeks ago screenwriter Jon Spaihts revealed that there was supposed to be chestbusters in Ridley Scott's Prometheus, one of which was supposed to bust out of Holloway's chest while having sex with Shaw. Below you'll find a piece of concept art showing us what that scene might have looked like. The image is absolutely terrifying, and NSFW, but it's so cool!

Here's his description of that scene: 

I did have facehuggers in my original draft," says Spaights. "David, as he began to get fascinated by the science of the Engineers, doesn't deliberately contaminate Holloway with a drop of black liquid. Instead, Holloway hubristically removes his helmet in the chamber, is knocked unconscious, facehugged and wakes up not knowing what had been done to him, and stumbles back into the ship."

"In my draft, he returns to his cabin, is embraced by Shaw, who is delighted to see him having feared that he had died, and the two of them make love," he goes on to say. "And it's while they're making love that he bursts and dies. So that lovemaking sequence echoed my original lovemaking sequence where he explodes! It was messy."

It looks like it would have been insane! And that Alien ripping through his chest is freakin' crazy looking. Would you have liked to see this scene play out on the big screen?
