The concept Weyland Corp is like Apple and makes "androids to deliver" is stupid. It always felt like Weyland Corp was a defence contractor like Lockheed or BAE not a company selling "consumer androids." Just very very stupid and I hate to say it; AVP-like in delivery. And is anyone else totally unconvinced by the stupid, over dramatic TED talk? In a studium of people? Weyland Corp is meant to be an unforgiving, nasty military contractor who operates behind the scences not Apple or Microsoft selling products to people like me and you. It felt like Ash and Bishop were expensive peices of military hardware not talking ipads Anyone else feeling this silly vibe? And for the record I love alien 1-3 and I love science fiction although other than 2001, alien(s) and Solaris almost EVERYTHING that is released falls so short of the bar of realistic sci-fi that it's painful to watch. I AM DESPERATE FOR PROMETHEUS TO BE GOOD. Anyway any thoughts on the above?

The viral video is also shot in a way as to unnerve the audience. Everytime I see it I get this feeling of wrongness on so many levels. As for the conference, if you know what TED is about you would understand why he speaks there, and lets not forget, weyland is an arrogant CEO with a god complex and in love with the dramatic. Pretty much like all the weylands shown on all the movies. The company is still weyland. If you read the corporate info on the viral website weyland and yutani are competing with each other, and weyland is winning. I would not be surprised if the reason that they merge is because weyland buys out yutani corp.

@xFTx I think you couldn't be more wrong. These videos look AMAZING. I think you've over thought everything when you should let Ridley Scott do that. The concept of the so called "consumer androids" is definitely going to work. The cast looks great and I for one cant wait to make the long drive from the South coast to London on June 1st to watch this in the IMAX
