The universe of 'Prometheus' revealed in new viral image
Although it's unlikely Guy Pearce's role in Prometheus will be a big one, his Peter Weyland character serves as one of the strongest links to Ridley Scott's original films. Weyland is one of the founders of mega corporation Weyland Industries, and around the time of Alien they have merged to become Weyland-Yutani, the de facto scummy business guys manipulating events.
After that supremely cool TED Talk by Peter Weyland was unveiled last week, Weyland Industries has reared it's head again. This time as part of a viral campaign for the film, urging fans to "invest" in WeylandIndustries.com, and after doing so revealing the above image. It appears to be the solar system where Prometheus takes place, and also what appears to be one massive seat....perhaps for the towering Space Jockeys?
The more answers we think we have, the more questions are raised. Exactly as it should be. Prometheus will finally shed some light on June 8th!
