Weyland-Yutani popups

Well I will first off leave this timeline/relationship wiki here http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/Weyland-Yutani ... this kinda sums up the two hand in hand .. there is alot more "lore" than fact in the partnership over the movies.

In any case there were weylandcorp/yutanicorp/etc... around before they decided on making Prometheus, the avp universe is still pretty hot.

My best guess is moneybags Fox "bought out" "weyland industries" when they knew it was going into sell mode.

My ears would perk up more if I saw some official looking Tyrell Corporation Wink



Here is a larger picture of your orbiting dna files, and a large shot of what i assume is a big ass chair, space jockey size with the "lights" on the side.

The Weyland Industries site is hosted by Amazon servers and points to foxfilm.com nameservers in its WHOIS registration. Yutanicorp.com is hosted by BlueGator and points to websitewelcome.com servers. So I doubt that Yutanicorp.com is involved.

I agree with Jane Smith. "Start decoding this badboy"!!

The symbol/glyph on one of the data files (arch with 3 dots) appears in other places. It appears above the entrance to the Ampule room from a leaked set pic. It also appears on the sarchophigi/statis pod structures in the map room. The arch and dots are also seen in different arrangements. The arch symbol appears on the cheek of the huge face in the ampule room. See pics.

What does this symbol/glyph and the other adjacent ones mean? Is there some egyptian relationship? I ask because other forums have compared the derelict shape to the egyptian goddess SKY NUIT or NUT. This shape can also be seen in Giger's Alien Life Cycle painting.

Someone from the prometheus-movie.com forum did a great job of copying and classifying the different symbols from the pod. See pics.

I have no original ideas here. Just bringing together other things I have read. Curious if these symbols can tell us anything now.

oog:
yutanicorp.com, yutanicorporation.com, welandcorp.com, weylandcorporation.com are all oog. that's unless we hear otherwise from known 'official' sites/accounts.

at the time the morse gif was being studied i was looking into periphery stuff. at the time there were two peter weylands on twitter -one having a facebook account. however, take them as oog. as stated above, that's until a definite connection can be made with known sites or accounts.


mala'kak(?)/other language:
with deciphering the alien text, fandom has made some headway. i give cred to Wmmvrrvrrmm over here for breaking it down: http://www.prometheus-movie.com/community/forums/topic/1297&page=2

also, there's a slightly plausible spec that the letters changing into 'prometheus' in the trailer could be a partial conversion to our alphabet, with : = o, but the letters have yet to match up to anything:

Alright, those inscriptions look like the ones in the big-ass face from the poster, as you can tell by this ridiculously huge picture I've uploaded.

It looks like Sumerian.

Haha, even Damon Lindelof said yesterday that he hated trailers of trailers. It's a weird marketing strategy, specially considering the trailers for trailers we've seen so far don't show more than a few extra scenes.

Either way I'm excited. It's clear they're trying hard to keep this movie away from being spoiled, which means it'll be amazing.

[trailhead] Weyland Industries

Here's a new one just brought to my attention:
www.weylandindustries.com
Set in 2023. Looks interesting... another one of those 'remake the world into a better place' - according to the goals/whims of an all-knowing tech genius. Wink

There's already a full thread about this: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=34138
Maybe that one should be properly tagged as [trailhead]?




Edit: Also merged - see above. -SpaceBass

Was looking at the Yutani fb page and noticed that their cover picture is of earth with two celestial bodies possibly orbiting it.

See here:

Which is similar to the hologram picture, here:

Possible connections?
