Now that it’s been a day or so since the Prometheus panel at San Diego Comic Con, more complete Q&As from the panel have started appearing online including this video of Ridley & Noomi’s appearance. An audio recording of the entire panel is online to download as well. Thanks Daz85 for the news.

Nice! Thanks for the heads up Hicks. Already a fan of the Alien Encounterss Facebook page!
And they're organizing an Aliens convention in the UK: http://www.avpgalaxy.net/2011/06/28/25-years-of-aliens-convention/
They're big fans.
Thanks for the info Hicks! Didn´t know they were doing the Alien Encounters documentary as well,nice to know.Looking forward to the Aliens Encounters doc.The convention also sounds like it´s gonna be lotsa fun!:-)
Did Ron Cobb work on ALIENS as well? I thought it was only Sid Mead,but I might be wrong.
My answer to the mistery of the added "D" is probably that somebody in the production of ALIENS made a typo and passed that info over to Cameron without him noticing.They probably noticed the mistake later on,but didn´t bother to change it since it´s hardly noticeable,except for the hardcore fans!
Me too.But don´t think James Cameron will be too happy about that if it happens!
Actually,we still don´t know if the "Company" in PROMETHEUS is even called WEYLAN/D-YUTANI or something completely different.We´ll have to wait ´till more details come out.
Don´t think it´s a part of a viral campain tie-in to Prometheus,more like a coincidence.That pic of Rosie Jones is actually from a short film project called "We are one" http://www.facebook.com/RosieOnMars posted on line by somebody as a prank to make believe it´s from Prometheus.
Nice pics of Rosie Jones BTW.
Great find! So the pic of the astronaut woman may not be of Noomi Rapace, but of Rosie Jones. The "Weylan" patch on her arm is no coincidence. This could be a part of some viral marketing tie-in to Prometheus.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
BTW, here's Rosie Jones (NSFW)

I wonder if Cameron wanted to correct it after having a chat about its origins with Ron Cobb who worked on Aliens and came up with the Weylan-Yutani name
On the other side it has the Egyptian wings of the original Nostromo crew shirts. ADC and the gang are huge fans of Alien (he's doing the Alien Encounters documentary and organizing the 25 Years of Aliens convention) so a lot of the work they do will often be influenced by Alien.
Haha. You can even seen Gareth (Abe the Alien) on the left and Darren Kemp director/producer/writer of Aliens Epilogue.

Take a closer look at the beer can logo,you´ll see it actually says WEYLAN-YUTANI without the "D".
Somewhere there´s also a shot of the bridge´s flight control computer screen starting up where you can see the name Weylan-Yutani on the upper half,but right now I can´t find it.

If you look closely in the pic you´ll see her patch says "Weylan" before it became Weylan-Yutani.
A nice little nod to ALIEN.Also read that her space suit was heavily inspired by Ripley´s white space suit.
Hence the ALIEN similarities.
<brb, I'm now entering the egg chamber. close the door behind me>
If it's not from the panel and it wasn't released by Fox, then where did people get that?
It had to be displayed somewhere. Or maybe I am making the biggest confusion of all time and deserve to be thrown into an egg chamber all by myself
And the rest of the interviews, even the Ridley part was taken from the panel right?

That picture wasn't really from the footage. It was someone on Twitter being a dick.
And they weren't allowed to record the actual footage, only the panel stuff.
LMAO my man
It really is a great poster!
