The Weyland Website is keen to stress the 50 year anniversary, and we know the TED talk is based in 2023, so I wonder what significance ( to the viral marketing campaign ) 2023 and 2073 have ?
Take a look at the view of Earth in the About Us section of the Weyland Site.
Now take a look at Earth here :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_April_20,_2023
An eclipse on April 20 2023 ?
( maybe April 20 2012 will be an important date for the viral campaign ??? )
I also uncovered some info about Zeta Reticuli on Wikipedia :
" ... a binary star system in the southern constellation of Reticulum.
From the southern hemisphere the pair can be seen as a naked eye double star in very dark skies. "
Maybe the viral story line will include some reference that during the 2023 eclipse Zeta Reticuli "revealed" something that led to a 50 year "journey" up to 2073 and the events then leading up to Prometheus ?
I'm also wondering if, given the website refers to the 50th anniversary and there is a "coming soon" announcement ( and my earlier Yutani find ... ) perhaps 2073 is the year Weyalnd and Yutani come together and set off the chain of events in Prometheus ? 2073 might be a key number to unlock something from the Yutani Corp website ?
Of course, once Saturday comes around, all of this will be revealed to be the ramblings of a 40+ sci-fi fan who should really be concentrating on the days work :-).
Cheers
