November 22, 2011I thoroughly believe so too after hearing about this leaked footage and how it came from a survey (I just posted a little about this at the end of that thread). I took a similar survey just days before that was presenting me with many descriptions of upcoming movies to rate and rank. Everything from Snow White and the Huntsmen , Movie 43, lots of romantic comedies, The Raven etc. to John Carter, Dark Knight Rises, Avengers, MIB III (which this guy mentioned in his imdb thread), and Prometheus. I thought they could just be guessing at some of these bigger movies because some were pretty vague, but I copied the text for those last five anyway. The Prometheus synopsis stood out because it uses stuff we've already seen before and fits with what we've heard. Some differences to note are they say android scientists plural right in this one, and reveal the name of the company. At first I didn't fully believe and thought they were collecting info from different sources but I'm posting it here again, I've been debating starting a thread for it somewhere as it didn't get much attention, but maybe just because everyone already assumes Weyland's involved from the logo. At the very least all this suggests a very strong connection to Alien. Anyways this is what they gave me in the survey I took with footage from American Reunion (I think the trailer you review in depth at the end was random) it may just confirm some things now. I'm more inclined to believe they didn't just add details and include it in their survey now that I know people are being surveyed on the trailer.
Here it goes:
"PROMETHEUS
Occupying the same universe as the groundbreaking 1979 film “Alien”, this is an original science fiction epic set in the most dangerous corners of the universe.
Earth. Year 2058.
Archaeological digs in Africa reveal alien artifacts that show humans were actually genetically engineered by an advanced alien race. Amongst the finds are coordinates to the Alien God's home-world, to Paradise. Within months, the Weyland Corporation launches the spaceship Prometheus and its crew of human and android scientists into deep space to make first contact. Thanks to faster than light travel, the Prometheus enters the Zeta Riticuli star system to meet humanity’s alien makers in a thrilling journey that will test the crew’s physical and mental limits. While there, they will discover the answers to our most profound questions about our world and the nature of our existence… before an unfortunate act of treachery that will ultimately lead to a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race."
