Prometheus

And because the original trailer didn’t grab enough attention the 20th Century Fox just released last Saturday one another 2:30min trailer… u know… just to see how many million viewers he would get this time. A few of course. The funny thing is that another couple of trailers were released this same weekend… which passed almost completely unnoticed….

The International trailer (which adds some even nicer footage and makes it much easier to digest than the US one), and one of those other mini-teasers that started with Guy Pierce a few weeks ago playing Weyland Industries tycoon Peter Weyland.

Another blink (tribute) to the Alien series by creating links such as this one and developing the Weyland world as part of the viral campaign for the film, sure many old fans will appreciate. “Weyland engineers have been working around the clock to bring you the newest, most advanced addition to the Weyland family: The David 8 Series”. Now all we’ve got left is … 2,5 months.

Ridley Scott is from the “all about everything school”, and his sci-fi movies tend to be above everything else done before or after… pretty much. So the growing expectation about an Alien prequel (still in discussion if this is) has invaded every single corner of the Internet over the past few months.

After the leak last month the production team moved fast… and even if there’s still more than half a year until it’s premiere (the movie is still in post-production), the tension has grown around the facebook page and dedicated itunes minisite with short 30sec teasers with Mr Scott talking proudly about his new creature… and himself of course.

I guess he can be cocky after all, we’ll judge next summer after seeing his “few” plot surprises with explorers, egos, origins of mankind discoveries and… maybe monsters? Who knows!
