But there is nothing there at the moment.
Very interesting, thank you for the link.
Now I have another reason to look forward to Comic-Con :D
Cool video. I wish I was going to Comic Con, but the tickets sell out way too fast.

I'm sure they'll have the video or whatever
Prometheus news is revealed online at least. Can't wait to see what it is.

Of course. A ton of panels do, but I want to go to Comic Con for more than just Prometheus.
F**k off, Lindelof.
Why didnt you just include something of actual value in the movie?

Some people (myself included) enjoy the viral marketing. Also, its a good way to keep the audience interested and see how much desire there is for a sequel.
That website as a whole is f**king amazing.
You can love (how is it possible?) or dislike the movie, but you can't take away the work and quality that has been put into the viral material and the weyland website.
All the info there not only is very well designed and detailed but its almost a movie of its own, a mini prometheus prequel.

Well, yea, i understand that but why not come out and say something concrete instead of playing this kind of charades ?
It feels out of fashion. I don't want more stuff related to the marketing exercise as i am pretty bored it with after all we've seen for the last months and the way the movie turned out.
I will keep checking thing's out to help the cause, so to speak, but they better improve things the second time around if they decide to green-light the sequel !

The was done with Cloverfield too.
They had all these videos before, after and they even had a manga.
I guess Lost showed them that some people like this chase-type of thing.
The Cloverfield mystery stuff was pretty cool, I dont really get why the company is supposed to be interesting tho, unless it explains something about the other movies or pertains to this one. CCTV transmissions or a 3d copy of the mound would be nice touches to add to Prometheus but this is misguided fanservice at best.

Enjoy.
Or go with it -- because oh so many other movie franchises do cool stuff like this.
where do you submit a resume to Weyland corp? :P
CUT IT OOOOFFFF!
Once again it's a case of another great viral, shame about the movie...
Disappointing they didn't put as much thought into the movie as they did the virals. Nothing is more effective then word of mouth, which they probably now can see after the massive drop in box office takings after the first week.

Well, there's that, and the fact that it was released around two very popular and anticipated animated family movies. I'd say
Prometheus did pretty good given its time of release.
On the topic of virals, I would love to see some stuff from Yutani's POV now, since we didn't get to see any of Yutani in the film. I remember Ridley saying he had fun working on that relationship, so maybe he has some stuff planned for them?
Like the work put into the virals.
Sadly it looks its not going anywhere...
Here comes the negativity police chief himself.. ::)
Fantastic video . Really enjoying these viral videos and can't wait for more :)

Because Prometheus was competing for the same audience?

Not that it was competing, but with
Prometheus, the people who wanted to see it saw it. With
Brave and
Madagascar 3 it wasn't just the people who wanted to see them, but also the parents and other family members of kids who wanted to see them. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people who saw
Prometheus also saw the animated movies (and even bought more tickets for the animated movies, because they were buying for their kids as well).
Also, I'd be lying if I said that
Brave doesn't look really good. Haven't seen it, though.

Exactly. It hasn't really been getting great word-of-mouth from what I've experienced. And the promos basically disappeared from TV after the first week.
Rumor is that sources at FOX plan to make an announcement of a sequel and if you notice that next batch of virals all have new actors in them...they will be in the sequel. hopefully this is true...
maybe an animated film set afer prometheus?

Now THAT would be awesome! It sort of reminds me of the Animatrix cartoons that were released after the final Matrix film came out. By many accounts, the animated film had a lot more to offer fans than the last two Matrix films did in terms of depth and imagination.
I'd love to see Ridley allow for something like this to happen. He already allowed Prometheus to happen so I don't see why something like this wouldn't be completely possible.

Speaking of Viral marketing, how many of you are members of Unfiction?
The problem I have with the viral campaigns is that they are better than the actual movie was. In addition, if you aren't an avid Aliens fan and haven't been watching the virals and reading material about the movie, you're missing out on a lot of things that clarify the film itself. Even worse is that if you're new to the franchise and haven't even seen the original Alien, you'd be totally lost as to what the hell is going on.
The viral videos are more complete and interesting than the damn movie itself, and considering they had 3 years or more to work on this thing, it could have been done a hell of a lot better. I'm sorry Ridley, but I've got to admit I've been disappointed.

Getting fed beeing called names by tools like this who take any critisim as negativity.
I think i said enough and clearly what i liked or not about the movie, and it was not limited by either THAT SUCK OOH THAT IS AWESOME i leave that to NAVY SEALS fans...
You hardly responded with any more maturity. You're looking just about the same as him, just angry.
Who said i was not angry?
Or not annoyed?
I show maturity to those who deserve to be talked to as adults, who have taken the time to know who they are talking to before ranking people.
This guy has 25 messages, i read them all, he's not mature and he attacks me.
Tools like this ahole have just been busting my ball dsince day one.
No you're lying giger is on this!
No you're lying you're not seeing 15minutes of them movie and seeing Scott and co live!

This site is here so that we can all give our opinions on films like this. If you're going to come here just to troll other people's posts, then go somewhere else.
Last time I checked, weyland's 15 zarathustra video isn't the only viral video for the film. The other's present clear ideas and boundaries, and I liked that. But the film itself was, in my opinion, very sloppy in its delivery of those ideas and then some. And again, if you had gone to see Prometheus without having seen these videos, you'd be even more lost.
That's my opinion, and I'll stand by it unless someone can convince me otherwise by using this forum in the way it was intended to be used.

cloverfield was a stupid movie. too american for my liking.
these viral videos are either for a blu ray, as previously announced, or something to do with a sequel. i think there is another thread in here talking about a blu ray release...
I like these little peeks of life inside Weyland industries, they're expansive on the Alien universe and as such I receive them with interest. I love how sinister the positivity is in face of the company mindset we've come to know. Also Lunar base! A new little place for the fiction!
On an unrelated note, Navy Seals is an exercise in moustache sporting rivalled only by The Abyss. To take its name in vain is sacrilege. Or something.
You're Goddamned right about that!

Godroya,
I respect your opinion as your post is thought-out and well-written. In many ways, I also agree with your assessment of the film. It could definitely have better, but I wanted to offer a different angle on your assessment.
I think that the less viewers know about the franchise, the more likely they are to enjoy the film. Those who are steeped in Alien mythology are the ones who were thrown for the biggest loop. As a fan of the franchise, I definitely had to reassess my expectations for Prometheus (which were admittedly too high) and figure out a way to fit what I had just learned into the matrix I already had built. At this point I've simply come to terms with the fact that there are simply a few square pegs that most likely will never fit into the nice round holes I had made for them.
The major reason I feel this way is that my wife, who has no preexisting knowledge of the Alien mythology really liked the movie. As a matter of fact, a lot of people (most of whom had little invested in the Alien mythology) liked the movie, as is evidenced by the RT critics' aggregate score and less so by its metacritic score. As another example, one of my good friends who is slightly familiar with the franchise really liked it, but during our discussions he referred to the trilobite as a "queen facehugger" and believed that the deacon was indeed the first xenomorph.
I'm beginning to ramble now - I'm not necessarily defending the film per se, especially because it took her and me two viewings to make sense of some of the plot, just proposing that to me it seems that those who don't know much about the back story may be more likely to like it. My biggest frustration with the movie is that too many things didn't fit into the tidy world I had built up for it.

What's interesting is dates-wise, this was posted around the same time as the first video. Only the link wasn't posted. I wonder if the last video is already out...we just don't know it yet.

The question is....recruiting for what? What's this all about?
Project Prometheus...the classified mission to LV 223.
Promethée, the one you posted if from the interactive viral game that was supposed to see if you qualified for Project Prometheus. Or at least, that's where the other Andrea Bishop videos are from. I don't specifically remember seeing that one.
