Bits like this shoulda been expanded and put in the movie.
This is from the 6-min version of the TEDtalk that Lindelof promised to be out on the Blu-ray
"I am a law, only for my kind" ?
Wow.
Meh :)
Something up with his face? It looks normal.
"I am a lord, only for my kind" .....I guess the 'guy' really was going crazy. (pun intended) :)

That it does :)
That clip and the vibe it was giving out was everything that I wanted in Prometheus and did not get.

I think everything's there, but it all boils down to the editing choices, which unfortunately, were geared towards as broad a audience as possible. There's without doubt a darker, more sinister film in there...somewhere :s
at 0:11 is that a camera man showing up behind him for a fraction of a second?
I am honestly looking forward to the deleted scenes now.

Fine... Lure me here under false pretences, why don't you? >:(
Nietsche? Zoroastrianism? Clever little title for the video that.

No it wouldn't.... shit like that NEEDS to be in the movie.
Why, oh WHY is all this viral stuff done more sophisticated than the main movie itself?
The Weyland site: Gorgeous!
The viral videos: Stunning!
The film itself simply can not hold up to the high expectations created by the advertising... :(
It's as simple as that...
If there ever will be a sequel, I would not wonder if this little snippet here already gave us a hint for the title and/or the ships' name... 8)

I agree. That clip was intense, made you sit up and pay attention...like WTF is going on here then?! It was dark and ominous, just how the film should have been.
10-11-12
Home Video release date? Or Something else?
The TED talk should've been in the film instead of the Cave sequence with Shaw and Holloway :P (with a few improved special effects.)
It would've fit the movie really well i think :P
I would've liked a scene on Earth with Shaw (and possibly Holloway) actively pitching to Weyland and/or Vickers, as was seen in the viral. But I also think there's power in the franchise having never really shown Earth up close. And I think a scene such as this could've worked too, but with that kind of longer, drawn out prelude (in addition to the sacrifice Engineer, David on the ship, the cave, etc) it would be even more of a different kind of movie altogether from the Alien franchise had it done so - and judging by the mixed response among fans, who knows how that would've gone.
I don't recall if the "jet ski" scene with Weyland and David was ever filmed. A lot of people would've probably hated it, but I would've liked to see that. The film seems to float between Blade Runner concepts (the synthetic person, the family neuroses therein, creation and free will) and the Alien standards.
Following on the Yutani thread from the viral, I would've perhaps made someone onboard (Ford?) a Yutani plant who goes snooping alone and suffers a terrible fate.

11.12.13 is either the DVD/BLURAY release or the announcement of the sequal
Seems a little premature for sequel announcements. (I mean the numbers where put there weeks, even a month or more ago.) More likely a blu/dvd release date. But this seems odd as well. Why 'advertise' something like that at the end of the film. We know it's coming anyway.
My guess is that it's something 'else.' If anything ... it's one more thing to keep the buzz/excitement going UNTIL then.
Expect to be teased until the wheels fall of guys. :laugh:
11.12.13 is either the DVD/BLURAY release or the announcement of the sequal.
Sorry if this post comes up more then once ( stupid phone -_- )
Bit late for a DVD/Blu-Ray release isn't it? Maybe the Extended Cut? Or Pt.II?
Did they secretly film enough footage to make 2 movies?
Interesting.
Makes me wish even more I could see the movie tonight, but I think I'm going to have to wait until Monday :(
It's 10-11-12, not 11-12-13. As much as the American dating system bugs me (that should mean November! Ridley!) October is when we're expecting the home media release. But that's probably too obvious...

could be the fact that Ridleys son directed the virals? if you go on RSA, Ridley Scott Associates site, it's SCAREY how big the firm is. he ain't just a director, he virtually is WEYLAND!!! a massive multinational media conglomerate ffs. who knew ??? :o
So is Cameron..
It has been recently revealed that he is in the board of the company developing technology suitable for mining on the asteroids.
Great idea I think.

just goes to show the power that comes with amusing the masses ;)
i just had a f**kin terrible thought... imagine if Cameron took a "Titanic" angle on the crash of the ship on LV-223 :o
Seems to me that their gonna milk this cow till it dies... :-\
My money is on it having something to do with Part 2. Maybe he filmed it back to back like the Matrix sequels and is just keeping a tight lid on it. Maybe that's why he hired Guy Pearce - he seemed like such a waste in this film under all that make-up. Maybe there will be a flash back that deals with him?
Can't wait for 10-11-12 now. :)
well I loved the movie and there is no place beter than AVPgalaxy to find out what 10-11-12 is
Anybody seen this date: 11 October 2012 on Weyland Industries Timeline? I think it's not a coincidence...
what could 10 11 12 possibly be ....?
forgive my ignorance-- i was spoiler free prior to seeing the movie and avoided these -- where does one find the virals... how many are there? recommendations for how to view all the supplemental material?
He played the old Weyland very bad i think.

WEYLAND INCORPORATESWeyland Corporation is recognized as a legal entity and corporation under United States law and receives their Certificate of Incorporation from the Companies House in the United Kingdom. Due to the combined value of Sir Peter Weyland's various patents and patent-pendings, the company incorporates with a higher fair market valuation than any other company in history.

I think they really should have started out with the TED video in the movie. People who didn't see it were not shown the arrogance of Peter Weyland and his god complex.

You were right Xenomorphine.
I was about to say the same thing, Blacklabel.
Cave sequence were money thrown out of the window.. Instead the cave sequence, TED talk would do much, much better.

Agreed. I think most of the viral videos should have been in it. I know there are duration problems, but maybe some short clips would have been nice. I remember watching a behind the scenes video and there were some scenes of the Prometheus crew doing some profile video clips of themselves. I think that would have been a nice way to introduce the characters.

Hardly, for me, it was the ridiculous makeup that was hard to take.

I am sure it took all of his self control to not just raise him arms up and say 'Braaaiiins!'.
