So, the movie had a viral marketing campaign beforehand including videos of a young Weyland (Guy Pierce) giving a speech at a technology show, a commercial for the new android model David (Michael Fassbender) and the video pitch made by Elizabeth Shaw to Weyland industries for them to fund a mission of exploration.

And now the movie’s out and has been seen, you’d think that was all over, right?

Or is it…?

A watermark on the screen at the end of the movie for the fictional terraforming company Weyland Industries points to the website http://www.weylandindustries.com/timeline (where you’ll find a history of Weyland Industries), and is joined by another piece of information, the date 10.11.12. Given that this is an american financed movie, it stands this would be an american date (month first) so it most likely means 11th October 2012.

What is 11th October 2012…?

On the Weyland Industries timeline on that date, there is an event marked, it reads:

It’s also a link, to another site

On that site, you’ll find an image of a book – ‘What is great in man is that he is a bridge not an end’. There is also this video, which appears to show Weyland preparing to go on stage to give his speech in the viral video released prior to Prometheus.

The question is, why was this date included on the end of the Prometheus credits? It makes no sense, unless it’s a tease for something else coming up on that date, the question is, what…?
