I'm inclined to agree with index - the images might be 'out there' for us to find, but not linked to the site as yet; when we find them (which we will....
 ), they'll be uploaded to the site.
Or, they really are hanging us out and leaving us to twist in the wind... Posted: Tue Mar 27, 2012 9:16 am |

In other news, if anyone is able to put up with Russian dubbing, here's the International trailer in 3D, make sure to view the video on YouTube as 3D doesn;t work with embeds.

I wish you'd asked. It was in the original source code... 
I tried this as well and I think all it means is those spaces are reserved for the next 3 images but without hacking we'll have to wait for the puzzles to solve to reveal them. Posted: Tue Mar 27, 2012 9:12 am |

after a bit of snooping around it would appear that the fourth image is either not yet available or not on the projectprometheus.com website.
Each image uncovered so far is located under the previously mentioned assets folder with it's picture id number as the folder name after it eg
so based on this i decided to try accessing the assets folder (again as previoulsy mentioned) and got the 403 error. proceeded to try folders 1 2 and 3 within the assets directory and again got 403 errors. tried assets/4/ expecting a 403 message and actually got a 404 file not found error instead. The same with 5 and 6. Not too sure how relevant any of this actually is but if the image was already available i would have thought it would have been uploaded to the server just not visible yet. any thoughts??

I dunno, you can see its reflection on the main sphere image as well. And you see a live one, in what has to be just before this scene here.

The jockeys in that look like the same color as the stars and planets where David looks real color. I think the jockey's there are 'recorded' so to speak. Posted: Tue Mar 27, 2012 8:01 am |

Off topic a bit, but if there's any graphics guys here who have been sweating it trying to ID the font used in the Prometheus production, its Proxima Nova.
https://typekit.com/fonts/proxima-nova This is used for titles/sub-titles, with Arial as the body font. I've been trying to spec that damn font for weeks..  Posted: Tue Mar 27, 2012 7:50 am |

Oh Shit!!
A common belief that David ended up as a Space Jockey just got laid to rest. I scanned the TV spot #2 and came across this: 
This goes a long way to explaining his condition where he's being carried and assisted on the ship. So who is the evolved jockey? Holloway? edit: I guess it has to be him, as he's nowhere to be found in the clips where Shaw comes to trouble.. Posted: Tue Mar 27, 2012 6:57 am |

What is odd is the lack of any mention of his demise or conversion or any action in fact past the date of the memorial. As such a major corporation you'd think they'd have to be more clear about who's in charge (again, maybe only in reality!). Posted: Tue Mar 27, 2012 6:45 am |

Re: Peter Weyland and Prometheus
Interesting read that echoes my thoughts. One of the first things I wondered reading the WI corporate stuff was that the designers/creators/producers/writers etc. were not overly concerned with accuracy or reality. It's a bit like the writer of a sci-fi about time travel normally won't bother with detailed explanations of all of the what-ifs that surround the concept. In this example they're not explaining how, with enhanced age limits, the earth can provide enough resources and what all these millions of employees actually DO. There can't possibly be enough to occupy them - and even if there was the business model doesn't work because not enough of the company makes money and it would be like the government (NASA, defence, healthcare etc.) but without enough tax revenue. In summary I don't think we can read too much into the wider ideas of the film. In terms of his aim I agree that all of this seems to be about extending his own life past natural norms and this is almost confirmed by the lack of a death date as well as the comments from the producers. The hypersleep idea is an often used one in sci-fi (see Alistair Reynolds for the effects of long distance travel and the time-dilation effects as a perfect example) and it makes sense that a large part of his life is to do with this one aim. What isn't clear is what the journey involving Prometheus adds to the saga. If he's there in the wheelchair, as seems likely, then his plans extend beyond a simple extension of life. But then, what's the point of living forever within a box, you'd want to be popped out occasionally to witness great events of course. Or is it that he believes something on the planet will provide a way to live forever in a way that is more befitting of his stature. @darkkk: I'd agree that's where we're at.

One other point on Weyland - I had noticed the 'memorial library' entry earlier (I won't so far as to trout you because it was probably about 50 pages back!); however, he is still listed on the site as the CEO.
If he was dead (or an emotional construct within an android), surely he would be listed as honorary CEO or similar? Posted: Tue Mar 27, 2012 6:35 am |

@Filmedge: well-met, and cool dialogue; I've pondered many of the same things.
I always come back to this POV: When you start talking Alchemy, the end goal is the Elixer of Life, which simply stated, is Immortality. A person as brilliant as Weyland's character would probably have as poor an emotional level as the early David's, as well, or at least the appearance of, being so absorbed in higher concepts that emotions and relationships would most likely be an inconvenience and distraction. He would be..selfish. That kind of mind always seems to prioritize extending its own life, as opposed to 'immortality' through progeny; to a mind like Weyland's, who cares about what comes after if he's not there to play a role. Ultimately, I see all Weyland's achievements to his race being of secondary importance to the impact they have on his own ambitions & goals. Back to the film: In one of the clips, there is a figure in a wheel chair, in the scene where Shaw collapses in front of a group in what looks like a mess hall. This could be Weyland, maybe. ?

3 images found after wccf-73:module A was unlocked, so my guess would be that we'll know what to do for the other 3 after module B is unlocked
 no?
FilmEdge, that's all very interesting and it does make sense, great post
Weyland may be dead, physically, but his mind might be uploaded to an android boby sort of GladOs of Portal' style haha Posted: Tue Mar 27, 2012 6:17 am |
