Prometheus viral in de end credits

Prometheus draait ondertussen in de bioscopen, en wie goed heeft opgelet tijdens de end credits, kon daar het logo van het fictieve bedrijf Weyland Corp voorbij zien komen. Deze speelt een grote rol in de Alien universum. Onder het logo is de datum 10.11.12 en de url WhatIs101112.com te zien. Wie naar deze website gaat kan er de onderstaande video van een jonge Peter Weyland zien die een quote aanhaalt van Friedrich Nietzsche. Het lijkt er op dat, dit of de DVD/Blu-Ray release datum is, of dat er een vervolg gaat worden aangekondigt.


Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Well, what do we have here. Amidst all the discussion on Prometheus, fans have seemed to miss a clue that continues the story beyond what we see in this movie. MovieViral points out of that if you stay to the very end of the credits, there is a Weyland Corp tag (not a scene, just a logo - seen above) that includes the date 10. 11. 12. prominently displayed. I'd heard mentions of this, but many played it off as the possible DVD release date of Prometheus, which would (and still does) make sense. But there's actually a viral website associated with it and that comes with a new video featuring a young Peter Weyland.

At first glance, the tag just contains some basic information - Weyland Corp, which is a nifty little bumper, plus a link to the timeline website and that date. Fans following the viral should already be familiar with the viral timeline, which has provided many clues and lots of valuable information. For example, in this case, 10-11-2012 is the date when Weyland Incorporates. It states: "Weyland Corporation is recognized as a legal entity and corporation under United States law and receives their Certificate of Incorporation from the Companies House in the United Kingdom." So it's when they go from Weyland Corp to Weyland Industries, must be a major change. The new site was then discovered at WhatIs101112.com with even more clues:
