PROMETHEUS: New Viral Video Recruits Fans For The San Diego Comic-Con

The movie may already be out, but that doesn't mean Fox's viral campaign is showing any signs of slowing down! A website called "Project Prometheus" has been launched and it features a new video message with a tease of more to come at this year's Comic-Con.

A new viral site called ProjectPrometheus.com has launched and takes fans to a "Careers" page featuring three new viral videos from Weyland Corporation employees. Only the video below (featuring Jamie Rossi, a "nanotechnologist") is currently available, although the next two are sure to follow soon after. However, the most interesting part is that fact that the end of the video reveals the URL, ProjectPrometheus.com/SDCC. There's nothing there just yet, but as any self respecting comic book fan should know, "SDCC" stands for the San Diego Comic Con (taking place next month). Looks like the story of Prometheus is far from over...



What do you guys think? There has been some speculation that fans will be given the opportunity to join the Weyland Corporation during the convention next month (perhaps in a similar style to what Marvel did with S.H.I.E.L.D. not too long ago). Sound off with your thoughts on all this in the usual place!






In the distant future, two superpowers control Earth and fight each other for all the solar system's natural resources. When one side dispatches a team to a distant planet to terraform it for human colonization, the team discovers an indigenous race of bio-mechanoid killers. Ridley Scott, director of 'Alien' and 'Blade Runner,' returns to the genre he helped define. With PROMETHEUS, he creates a groundbreaking mythology, in which a team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a thrilling journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race.

Im thinking Not one of the "employees" on Prometheus had theyre own agenda. Why was the crew so non sealant? why did the 2 scientist act like such jackasses? still unanswered questions.

Meh... This movie was visually stunning, but mentally dumbing... Maybe they're promoting some kind of extended version... I'd bite on that...
dellamorte1872 - 6/27/2012, 12:21 PM
i told y'all theyd do this they want at least 50 bucks from ANYONE in the audience that KEEPS wanting to entertain this crap!
dellamorte1872 - 6/27/2012, 12:23 PM
face it EXECS you made a dud and you left all that was REALLY needed on the editing room floor
dellamorte1872 - 6/27/2012, 12:26 PM
this is the studio's fault not the director MAYBE the writers should be blamed too. how do you get a sequel from this? EVERYONE i have talked to about this who've seen it all say just like you said up there guy^ great visuals but its laced throughout a crappy story hence NO ONE is clamoring for a sequel!

Gotta watch it again. I loved it.

I don't see when the 'crappy story' part comes in.

Definitely got to be a sequel on the horizon... Otherwise go through this trouble?

I could be wrong but wasn't there talk of the directors cut being like 30 minutes longer? I am sure that much time will answer a lot of questions folks have.

Wasn't the studio that [frick]ed this up, it was the director and the writer but mostly the director.

If anything, this was a clear case of a studio needing to step in and save a film from its director. Same thing happened on Robin Hood, director wanted more control over the script and make his own changes which phuqed up the film.
