The PROMETHEUS Viral Gets Creepy...With DAVID.
We’re just under two months away from the release of Prometheus, the not-quite-an-Alien-prequel directed by Ridley Scott, and alongside the normal trailers and posters, we’ve been slowly getting a very nice ARG element to the marketing.
I’ve covered some of the videos in the past (as the related stories below will indicate), but this video takes the cake as probably the most…unnerving piece of marketing material for the film yet.
It’s a promotional video for David, the android created by the Weyland Corporation, as portrayed by Michael Fassbender. You can consider him an earlier version of Ash or Bishop from prior Alien films. And…yeah, this video just gives me the creeps. In a good way. Go ahead, click play.
Prometheus hits theaters on June 8th, 2012.
EDIT: 1:31pm Looks like David even got a full page ad in the Wall Street Journal, today. Nice touch, marketers.
Thanks for the image, The Verge!
