The recently revealed Weyland Industries website has been updated with several new sections, most of them being restricted areas for now. You can also now register to receive the latest updates from Fox and become a Weyland Corporation investor. Most importantly, the front page is featuring an intriguing image of a finger print with the Weyland Industries logo on it.
According to the official website: “Weyland engineers have been working around the clock to bring you the newest, most advanced addition to the Weyland family. Stay tuned for a special announcement.”
The About Us section has also been expanded with some interesting key facts about the company as well as an image of the Earth (this image also contains a mysterious blinking star). You can read it all after the cut.
Update: Remember the blinking star from yesterday? The mystery has now been solved. Thanks to an avid fan and his Morse code skills we’ve got a high quality image from the film in our hands. See it here.

When David first enters the room everything is dormant, the only light is that of his flashlight and what comes through the dome. In fornt of him a set of steps is cut into a circular platform with four sealed sarcophagi. He (or something) activates the machinery, a covering between two of the sarcophagi slides apart revealing a control desk and an egg-shaped chair slides from the outer wall. David activates the control panel bringing up the holographic imagery...
Thanks, yeah I've been looking at all this stuff on another thread. At least I was right about the 5!!
Also, it appears there is the same sort of setup on the opposite side of the platform. Next to David you can see the outline of the chair.
Lastly, if you look at the chair you can see that there is a slot in the ground that it must slide backwards and forwards in.

tbh it looks like a still from the movie than concept art
link?
SM, if there were a thumbs up button, you'd be getting quite a few from me.
I don't mean to disrespect the fact that HybridNewborn noticed what was correct about my earlier post after someone dismissed it and I thank HybridNewborn for pointing that out along with what seems to be the chronological order of the company's name, and almost got the original version of the company's name right but not quite right enough, so as to have to be corrected by someone else on a slight detail. But I find it horridly amusing that a little detail has to be fully unveiled by someone else in all these masses of details although chronologically speaking there wouldn't be an imaginable reason to have changed it from Weyland to Weylan and back to Weyland.
The star is morse code. It has been solved. It contains the Wow! code.
Put the wow code at the end of the URL and you will find the concept art prize
Weylan-Yutani in the first one.
In Alien, and subsequent chronological films, it's Weyland-Yutani. In Alien vs Predator it was simply Weyland Industries which is what the web address is in the Prometheus viral site, even though the logo on the site says Weyland Corp, and the logos we see on the uniforms in the movie trailer say Weyland Mega-Corp. Obviously the company name changes over time.
The actual document is still falsified to make it 'seem' like some one found it somewhere. Fox has been behind these leaks since day one I believe.
It's not form AVP. Its origin is from the FIRST Alien film directed by Ridley Scott.
it was posted at prometheus-movie.com
Why does the man's hair in that gif change from dark to blonde?!
FTL travel = Time travel, ergo Weyland (Pearce) is the Engineer/Jockey. !MYTH CRACKED!
It could be wholely possible that we were built to be as we are as part of a larger grand scheme.
So Weyland is the Prometheus figure ?
The mining activities mentioned in the Weyland website refer to the solar system. Is the secret for FTL travel discovered in the archeological dig in Petra along with the coordinates for the Space Jockey's world ? Which would account for mankind's early foray into the galaxy.
That does not explain why they find a giant human head in the alien base / spaceship, and why it bears a strange resemblance with Guy Pearce.
More than likely.
Hey, I found the info email and I'm scared to send something to them.
The rumored coordinates to the alien planet uncovered during the reported archaeological dig, maybe?
Just don't pay the viral stuff too much attention then. I doubt there'll be too much of this sort of detail in the movie, the idea is just to drum up interest.
If that flickering star isn't morse code then it's damn well trying to lead us on a wild goose chase, because it's on a loop (I think) and the pattern fits entirely with morse code. It also stops blinking all together after a while.
I'll be damned if I can get much though. Not sure why but I'm finding it very very hard to keep track. The ones I'm surest of (and I don't know where they come in the sequence) is a 5 followed by an L. That's come back consistently every time I've tried to keep track.
More to follow no doubt, and of course this could easily be a wild goose chase even if it IS morse code!
well, it certainly looks as if they're going to have to find a previously unrealised technology to get the spacetugs tramping around the galaxy ten years before 2079 or whenever Alien is set. Ridley thought it was rather cheeky to imagine technology leaping that far so soon when he was asked about it during the Blade Runner interviews so perhaps that technology might have to leap into the story from somewhere else
I think it's curious that Weyland Industries from AVP is being used as part of the viral promotion. Do they intend to use it as part of the movie's actual cannon though?
