WTF? This the viral advertising they said was coming? Very interesting indeed. Who is Luke Scott?, Ridley's son?

Check also the site (revealed at the end) weylandindustries.com It didn't have lots of going on atm though. Checked the privacy policy & terms and conditions: Only Fox stuff, no story fluff. Me not happy yet :( "The Investors" are promising more to come though ;)

[quote][b]Outstanding find! Thank you so much! Finally, some more footage from Prometheus! Kudos to you![/b][/quote] I don't think this is a scene from the movie, it didn't have the right feel and if you check, it was directed by a Luke Scott.I think it is a viral video.

Awesome. Looks like those leaked screen test things were for real.

Awesome. =D I hope this is the first small piece of viral advertising for Prometheus. A viral ARG would be nice just to keep us subsisted.

[b] Sir Peter Weyland was born in Mumbai, India at the turn of the Millennium. The progeny of two brilliant parents; His mother, an Oxford Educated Professor of Comparative Mythology, his father, a self-taught software Engineer, it was clear from an early age that Sir Peter’s capabilities would only be eclipsed by his ambition to realize them. By the age of fourteen, he had already registered a dozen patents in a wide range of fields from biotech to robotics, but it would be his dynamic break-throughs in generating synthetic atmosphere above the polar ice cap that gained him worldwide recognition and spawned an empire. In less than a decade, Weyland Corporation became a worldwide leader in emerging technologies and launched the first privatized industrial mission to leave the planet Earth. “There are other worlds than this one,” Sir Peter boldly declared, “And if there is no air to breathe, we will simply have to make it.”[/b] Bye Bye Avp canon too! Most excellent, nice one Ridley.

The Imdb.com page for Prometheus is still listing Guy Pearce's character as Stanninson.

Excellent, great find. What a nasty piece of work this Weyland character is. Comes across very arrogant indeed!

@Theusprom: Thanks for the clarification. [url=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0779524/]Luke Scott Bio at IMDB.com[/url] At least there's a viral web site to go with the viral video. Clever using TED Talks for context of this video.

Here's a little bio about Peter Weyland from the TED Blog: "Sir Peter Weyland was born in Mumbai, India at the turn of the Millennium. The progeny of two brilliant parents; His mother, an Oxford Educated Professor of Comparative Mythology, his father, a self-taught software Engineer, it was clear from an early age that Sir Peter’s capabilities would only be eclipsed by his ambition to realize them. By the age of fourteen, he had already registered a dozen patents in a wide range of fields from biotech to robotics, but it would be his dynamic break-throughs in generating synthetic atmosphere above the polar ice cap that gained him worldwide recognition and spawned an empire. In less than a decade, Weyland Corporation became a worldwide leader in emerging technologies and launched the first privatized industrial mission to leave the planet Earth. “There are other worlds than this one,” Sir Peter boldly declared, “And if there is no air to breathe, we will simply have to make it.”

Haha, Visualizer has it correct, I didnt find this (and never claimed I did!) You all should check the prometheus on FB, that's exactly where this came from. @Theusprom: Yea, it's not part of the movie. But it most certainly ties in with the story, and is "Canon"

I love the momentum and pathos of this clip - looks like we´ll finally get a sci-fi movie with an actual story.

STELLAR acting. If we can expect more from Peter's TED address, then awesome! What a great character. Am the only one who happens to think that we DONT need another more elaborate 'trailer'? If we get something like this every few weeks then I will be extremely pleased as a fan.

i dont know what would be worse, a slightly more revealing trailer, or continued fan speculation..

Is there confirmation that this isn't in the film? Seems like an awfully large production over nothing more than an ad campaign. Granted, it WILL create buzz even if it's not in the film...

Heya guys, Just a quick note, this already appeared on the News page, have a look there when you first open the site just to make sure you don't open a thread that's already been posted. I'll leave this one open for now since it's got a fair few comments, but just in future have a quick check first please. Cheers, Cypher

@Cypher I'm not sure which piece of news you refer to.. I think I checked the news before posting. Also, my post was made 1:18 PM, the news article was added 2:10 PM.. Respectfully, Ghorgul
