10/11/12.............

[i]FWIW, from what I see the "official" date of Blue-Ray release is already out to retailers as 10/9/12: [url=http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/movies.php?studioid=1]http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/movies.php?studioid=1[/url][/i] Nice detective work! I think 10/11/12 is simply what is discussed here: [url=http://blog.iconsf.org/]http://blog.iconsf.org/[/url] [i]"There’s more to come, we’re sure — the site design itself hints strongly toward four more media elements. We’re wondering if they’re already on the timeline, in fact."[/i]

NateBlitz - I've read your speculations, and I can't stop thinking about it!! Could you imagine how cool it would be if he actually already filmed the sequel, and 10-11-12 is the release date?! With any other film, I would have completely dismissed it. With [i]Prometheus[/i], however, everything has been a huge secret. They announced two years ago that it would be two films, then a week later said that it wouldn't, and that what is now [i]Prometheus[/i] wouldn't even be an [i]Alien[/i] prequel. Now that we know that [i]Prometheus[/i] is (for the most part) a prequel, why couldn't the fact that they were originally going to shoot two films be true as well? It'd be quite an accomplishment for the studio to keep it quiet all this time, but pulling that kind of stunt would be highly lucrative for them...and they would surely know it. Think about it...[i]Prometheus[/i] had a huge opening weekend. Next week they announce that 10-11-12 is the date for the release for the sequel. This would generate even more interest in the film...people would need to see it again to search for clues they might have missed that a sequel was a foregone conclusion. The Blu-Ray was announced last week for a 10-09-12 release...how many movies do you know of already have a Blu-Ray release date BEFORE the movie comes out in theaters? That never happens! My guess is that this is part of their overall plan. By releasing the Blu-Ray two days before the sequel...who's not going to want to go out and buy it?! They know people would buy the movie, so that they could watch it again right before they go to see the sequel which would be conveniently released a few days later. I don't think 10-11-12 would be just an announcement of the sequel. I just don't see why they would wait four months, just to announce that's it definitely coming. Also with the possibility that it could be the 6-minute Weyland video...why wait four months to release that? Sure it'd be a cool thing to see, but why get everybody excited about seeing a 6-minute clip four months after the film came out? Then, of course, you have [i]Prometheus[/i] itself. Even before I read any of this stuff, while watching, a few things just stuck out. Why cast Guy Pearce for the role, when all you see of him in the film is as an old man? It just doesn't make sense...they could have cast someone age-appropriate and not had to worry about the look of old-age makeup. Of course they're going to say that the scenes of him younger were cut...but what if they were intended for a second film all along? The second thing that I questioned was when the space jockey was sitting in his chair, flying the spaceship away. We see him in the same position as the space jockey discovered in [i]Alien[/i]. Just as soon as we think they're the same, the space jockey fights Shaw in that separate room, and then eventually the chest burster comes out of him while he's on the floor. It's intentional misdirection...why show the space jockey in the exact position it would have been in to lead right into [i]Alien[/i], only to show us that it's not? Finally, you have the ending, where Shaw and David fly off to the Engineers' planet. This begs for a sequel! What will they discover? David mentions that getting there would be fairly straightforward. Why didn't they just go sooner? At the beginning of the movie, he was the only one awake...could he have purposely led them off course and made them believe they were in the right place? So many questions! I could be completely off the mark here, but all this information out there just makes me think that we could be in for a real treat come October. If it truly were the release of the sequel to [i]Prometheus[/i], it would be one of the biggest secrets in film history!!

On the Weyland timeline 10/11/12 is when weyalnd gets incorporated the flag is klikable now, sadly just leading to whatis101112

The Blu Ray release in the Uk is 1st October. and 2nd in USA I think So it's not the Blu ray release, I personally, think it may be a Directors cut run at the cinema to tie in with the release of the Blu-ray

^^^ I'm with that theory Beware...good way to look at it. Sequel would be epic but unlikely IMO

looks like the release date of the DVD(itunes states this) nice to keep us guessing though.
