Happy Birthday David (New Viral Video!)

Fascinating and chilling in equal parts. After all the stills in the viral campaign, this is more like it. A small indication of the performance we can expect in the final film and hints at just how pivotal David will be to the plot.

Excellent.. I think this is going to be 119 minutes where you are glued to the screen and what is being said. First REAL sci-fi story in YEARS!!!

@alteredstate. - Ridley's sons directed some of the other viral videos? I didnt know that.

yes the viral of peter weyland was directed by ridleys son Luke scott.

google says this one was ridleys direction.

David seems so happy and cheery (well except his demonstration of crying )but there's two skulls in the background. Kind of a strange background image. I also really like the "look" of him. That is what an advanced robot that is supposed to fit in with humans would look like IMO. Awesome.

Awesome! I'll order one for cleaning that darn cat litter box - a job I find unethical for a human. (30 yrs. whishing for a David 8 every morning).

I had that notion for blade runner's rachel Aquila except the things i had in mind for her were a little more spicey shall we say lol. I figured she was a vast improvement on the inflatable doll if you catch my drift lol.

I would order one David just that I could follow and observe him all the time. Also he could be a good florist.

I love how these corporate robots in Ridley's imagination are the antithesis of the Asimov style / Star Trek Data style lovable robot... these robots are products, without any kind of high minded notions of bettering mankind... they are there / created to do our dirty work... very dark - but given the current corporate climate - very believable. This video really seals the deal for me - this is gonna be a great movie.

very reminicent (spelling) of both 2010 and I robot a bit of a mix of both interestly they chose to show him crying ?

He's so much like Peter O'Toole as Lawrence of Arabia. Not just his hair, but the way he speaks. A movie about David alone would be fascinating to watch in itself.

"distressing, or unethical." Nice forboding If the rest of the cast is in the league of Fassbender's level of acting for this, it will be a masterpiece. He looks like the love child of David Bowie and Tilda Swinton.

With that hair, acting, and so on i keep thinking of Lawrence of Arabia.

charlieze ... in monster,/devils advocate ,/ the road rapace in girl with a dragon trilogy fassbender in hunger/shame/inglorious bastards idris elba american gangster and the wire sean harris in Harry Brown / creep/ and ian curtis of joy division this cast is first class, top notch, A list, top of their game.

David is very KRaftwerk looking and i love that ...i like when he start to paint his finger like he dont see and feel a great difference with the plastic minuature .

YEs of course its not only regarding the aspect ....they symbolized a sort of middle europe coldness ..very german , rappresenting a nation that was reborn without having anymore a background ( a bit like david ) . Formal suits , cold architecture , efficient work , people on the society frames merging togheter , new electronic sounds ( a bit from the early ultravox too ) The Kraftwerk were the Robots for excellence , the perfect business employee , but everything with a very deep romantic undertone ( "the model" song and video ) ...

Wow.... "What makes you sad, David?" My hype meter just blew a gasket

very well said, thanks for getting back..."coolio"...Love that band and Know exactly what you mean about that/their image, or the one they were reflecting from German society, it was in a way iconic, still is I guess.

in 1983 i went to dusseldorf to see my then girlfriend and she took me to a cafe owned by a member of kraftwerk i was so into them in those days computer world was a great album with german guys body popping in the streets in dusseldorf and outside on the pavements of cologne cathedral happy days.

This is proof that Fassbender isn't just the "next hot thing". Ugh he's amazing. And I STILL haven't seen Shame. Shame on me. I hear it's very,...revealing...you know, of human nature and all that jazz. @ Biomechanic-you hit the nail on the head with Lawrence of Arabia!

i saw it last night and its a stunning performance by him and Carey Mulligan, really on the edge and brave .Kind of reminded me of william defoe in anti christ, has that feel .

Bit pricey I bet!!

@kellicotti I just saw shame the other day really enjoyed it! U have MarcoBot's recommendation lol Really impressed with Michael Fassbender he seems to be nailing his roles in just about everything he performs. Also he's gonna lead in Ridley Scott's next film the Councilor. RS has a great track record for casting in his films!

Sh!t ... that's cool as ... dunno what to think of his protocols though ... my instinct would be to not trust him one 'Bit' (get it?) ... :) ... But he's a good actor no doubt about that ...

So awesome!!! IMHO for me is the BEST! character in the movie and I really enjoyed his performances : )

You thought Ash was bad? I think David comes across as positively psychotic! Now I seriously can't wait.

We've got free will." He's like, "Oh, really?"[/i]

I must say, I am so excited by this new clip! I got an eerie feeling about David, as I'm sure we all do! Fassbender has set us up with a total untrustworthy character here, I mean David is totally on the fine line of sanity and insanity, very mental! Also, the clip leans heavily towards there being multiple David's on board as well? The chess scene?
