So yeah I just got an email from "Weyland Industries" that talks about employment opportunities at SDCC (yes I realize that we all know about the comic-con thing) but it also says this... "We're seeking candidates for Project Prometheus, [b]re-launching on 10.11.12.[/b] ...for more information call WEYLAND (**9395263) from your mobile phone." Very interesting choice of words...however I believe this confirms that 10.11.12 is just a Blu-Ray advertisement. [b]EDIT: Wait a second, guys! CALL THAT NUMBER. Something is definitely up![/b] That call is creepy as heck. It says something that I can't understand...SOMEONE TRANSLATE IT NOW! SECOND EDIT: Now that I've heard the call a few times, it actually does sound like an Engineer on the second half of the recording, speaking the "Engineer language". Maybe that's why it's so hard to understand haha.

Could "re-launching" imply a theatrical re-release? Or perhaps a failed mission with no contact from the Prometheus justifies an expedition or mission to take place in order to rescue / rendezvous / re-establish contact with the Prometheus. And that phone call was quite interesting. Very intrigued about what the message actually is. Perhaps I may be mistaken, but doesn't it sound a lot like the message that Ripley and the crew of the Nostromo heard when they hailed the crashed Engineer vessel?

I love this! I'll say this regarding the possible re-launch of an edited version of the film: it makes no sense. Think about it: the prints of "Prometheus" were sent to theaters with the "10.11.12" image at the end of the credits. Why would FOX plan to re-release the film on 10.11.12 even before the film was released? No, my friends: something big is afoot and it ain't bigfoot. Edit: I just have to add this: 12.21.12 is the final day of the Mayan calendar. It is also a Friday, which is the traditional release date for a film. A 10.11.12 announcement about the next "Alien(s)" film would give Fox over 2 months to promote a year end, holiday release of the film.

@synthetic_69 All interviews with Ridley Scott confirm his stating that there will be no more Alien films. Yes Prometheus is a prequel, but its a starting point for so much more than just the world of Alien. Also in regards to your statement of a re-edit of Prometheus, I don't think they would release a re-edit of the film. But perhaps a re-release of the film. Following the DVD/Blu-ray release on 10/09/12. And I'm not sure about anything coming out on 12.21.12, as this will be a very finicky day for most people who have even considered the possibility of the Mayan end date being remotely possible. I'm pretty sure a lot of people will have their heads somewhere else. I don't know about you, but I don't think I'd prefer to be in a movie theater on the day that the skies might actually fall. And for those of you that fall into that category, don't forget that the beginning of the cycle's end starts on 07.14.12!

I called that number several times and listened to it, here is my thoughts so bear w/me on this. The operator states she will connect us to the Prometheus, right? Prometheus was destroyed crashing into the juggernaut, correct? The last remaining engineer died when the deacon burst thru his body on the lifeboat, correct? I think the message is coming from the Deacon from the lifeboat, a distress call if you will, just a thought. Regarding the 10-11-12 date, imo it’s either the second half of the movie or the sequel. As I stated in 2 other threads, 3 months of filming in Spain was never put in the original film, where I read that I can not remember, but it was not on this site... that’s a hell of allot of filming, where is that footage? Can you imagine how much filming can take place in a 3 month span? Also those very costly sets were built in the UK, that RS bragged so boldly about, are they still intact? I believe that Prometheus is a 2 part movie.... Also I stated previously to do a 2 part movie would be such a stellar move, only RS could pull it off. The more I think about it I ask myself why not do something never done before at this magnitude. Prometheus part 1, Prometheus Part 2, yeah, I think that is what 10-11-12 is all about, but hey “ rumor control “ you did not hear that from me.....
I should reach the frontier in about 6 weeks. With a little luck, the network will pick me up. This is Ripley, last survivor of the Nostromo....

[i]Hello Welcome to Weyland Industries We are now seeking candidates for numerous positions aboard Prometheus, relaunching 10 11 12. If you are interested in helping us build better worlds, please remain on the line, and we will connect your call to the ship personnel director. We are now connecting you call to Prometheus, please hold and someone[/i] will be with you shortly …and then it goes west, to something more nondescript on that recording. Sounds like Bob pick up though. How ironic you get through to an Engineer on the phone

This is a clearer recording of the call: [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Ed9g1pCJB0E]Whole recording[/url] And a trimmed down edit of just the strange noises/language (maybe the Engineer) from a member of that forum calling themself redbeard...

@Membrane After listening to your version of the phone call, I know I clearly heard someone say "What did he say?" After the (so called) Engineer speak was immediately finished.

[u]SpE3dSt3R[/u]: Let me say up front that this is a friendly reply to your last post. I say that because we all know how easily a post can be taken the wrong way simply because it lacks context or the inflection of the human voice. When I used the term "Alien(s)" to refer to a potential already in the can companion film/sequel to "Prometheus" I meant "Alien(s)" in the sense that "Prometheus", "Alien" and "Aliens" are all set within the same universe. That's all. I wasn't suggesting that 10.11.12 or 12.21.12 will bring us a cinematic sea of mucus dripping Xenos courtesy of Fox and Ridley. But hey, you never know! [u]Fader[/u]: Earlier today I referenced in the below thread the info you mentioned about the filming that took place in Spain in the fall of 2011. [url=http://www.prometheus-movie.com/community/forums/topic/9115]http://www.prometheus-movie.com/community/forums/topic/9115[/url] You must have been the one whom from whom I learned about the filming that Scott did in Spain. FYI, that info's located in the "Prinicpal photography" section of the film's wiki page. [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prometheus_(film)]url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prometheus_(film)[/url]

FYI, the official recording is back up via the phone number that was distibuted via the email from Weyland. Also, when the woman on the message states "we will connect your call to the ship personnel director" my guess is that she is talking about one Meredith Vickers, which means that we are hearing noises from the "life boat".

@synthetic_69 I appreciate the friendly reply. I wasn't trying to beat down your idea. I was simply responding on what I had read and heard and I apologize as I took your statement at face value, not at the idea that another sequel of some sort may come to fruition on one of those dates. I too would be extremely excited to see something very interesting happen on one of those dates. In the Universe of Prometheus and Alien (and apparently Predator), something very interesting will hopefully happen on one of those days. ----------------------- Interestingly enough, though I cannot recall if I read it within this thread or somewhere else, but the East Cost Comic Con begins on 10.11.12 in New York and there is something I saw that stated you can get a very limited exclusive Weyland Industries Employee ID Card if you attend. Perhaps they will discuss or show the really big reveal at the ECCC. Just a thought, but this is a confirmed consistency with this important date. Thoughts?

@synthedic_69 Thanks for the link, was not sure where I had read that, but is it not interesting the fact that the time frame of filming does not add up, and why film in Spain? Here is the wiki info..... btw I posted the 3 months of filming in Spain in another thread several weeks ago, and I did get that from wiki In September 2011, filming moved to the 1. Ciudad de la Luz audiovisual complex in Alicante, Spain. Shooting areas included the complex's large water tank, and a nearby Alicante beach.[92][100] The complex was booked from August 22, 2011, through to December 10, with set construction occurring from August until late September.[92] Approximately 250 people worked on the three month-long Spain shoot, generating over €1 million to the local economy What was the large water tank all about I wonder, any ideas? Something is going on!!!! I’ve seen the movie 3 times and I do not remember any water scenes in the movie. Maybe the Engineer world is a water world, may explain the blue/white skin, mostly also why are they still promoting the movie after the fact w/comic con and viral info, unless....... part 2 is already in the can and 10-11-12 we will see the first new trailer of part 2 on 10-11-12, that has to be the reason, I am stellar stoked if it all comes to light, now that move would make Prometheus EPIC

The filming in spain included or was all the Weyland dream sequence (cut from the film but maybe back for the DC) he was on a yacht in the water (reportedly but I see another source said it wasnt shot hmm 3 months...I heard maybe the storm sequence was shot there 2 probably some more). Best bet I reckon is a TV series probably with the TV looking actors in the new virals :S ...
