But yeah, the hybrids are really just generally different levels of indentured servitude/service/etc - compared to the original humans (or at least the more "evolved" ones - who didn't originate on Earth. There were some really original designs though, but a lot are "blink and you'll miss 'em" appearances - might be more on the BR though - from the Amazon description, there appears to at least be a featurette listed: Jupiter Ascending: Genetically Spliced

Oh yeah - excellent cameo by Terry Gilliam in the heraldry office.

Thanks for the info on his books. I just did a quick search and they look interesting. Undoubtedly, there's a lot that is left out of the movie in the books.
