Guy Pearce! 2023? huh, who, what? guess I need to read the text to find out how this all fits in the universe of "Prometheus"!
Guy Pearce plays Weyland, one of the two founders of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation that you see so much about in Aliens, Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection. Since "Prometheus" takes place before the timeline of the original Alien film, it makes sense that we will get to see the beginnings of the company that figured so prominently in the Alien universe.

Cool! I know about this info. What other info does anyone about this clip in Prometheus? (i've been too lazy/busy to use The Google to search for info ATT.  I was more curious if anyone knows it's place (if any) in the actual film since it is said to be part of the 'viral campaign' to promote the film. Will there be a flashback to this scene? Will the film start with this clip? Will this not be seen at all in the film?

I don't think anyone knows that except for those who were involved in making the film. I've not found any publicly released info that would answer these questions.

Ugh. did anyone else get a good look at those *ahem* space suits on that site? They look more like the fantastic four than the suits in the original alien.

Since "Prometheus" takes place before the timeline of the original Alien film, it makes sense that we will get to see the beginnings of the company that figured so prominently in the Alien universe. Not to mention if you saw the AvP movies, they managed to work both the names of Weyland (the explorer who led the ill-fated expedition to Antarctica) and Yutani (scene at the end of AvP Requiem, involving getting a hold of one of the plamsa casters). I'll be curious to see if those films are canon or not in the greater scheme of the Aliens universe.

I sure hope not! The first AvsP was passable but Requiem was total trash.

I have the reverse opinion. The first AvP was horrid. The preds gave Sanah Lathan's character a trophy instead of skinning her and taking her skull? Who wrote that, Walt Disney? And that stupid moving pyramid? Bleh! I like AvP2. It felt like fan-fic but, it remained true to the brutal legacy these films developed.

Well, in P2, they gave Danny Glover's character a pistol and let him live after he killed one of their own, so I think the precedent was there for them to respect capable humans.

However, I think the way it was portrayed in AvsP was a bit cheesy with the surviving predator showing Sanaa's character how to fashion her own weapon. I remember reading one critic's review saying something like "I almost expected the predator to start painting her nails".  In Predator 2, it just "worked" and didn't seem hokey at all in the scene where the elder predator gave Danny Glover's character the flintlock pistol.

I refuse to acknowledge anything from P2 except the linking of the 2 franchises
