Today, we showed you the awesome viral ad for “David 8″, the Weyland Industries android played by Michael Fassbender in Ridley Scott‘s Prometheus. We’ve also been sent an exclusive new piece of the viral puzzle. The code allows those skilled in the viral-decoding ways to unlock one of eight emotions for David. I don’t know what emotion it will be, but I’m crossing my fingers for “I’m going to creep you the fuck out”-face.
Hit the jump to check out the code, and then try to crack it at ProjectPrometheus.com. The film also stars Noomi Rapace, Idris Elba, Rafe Spall, Sean Harris, Logan Marshall-Green, and Charlize Theron. Prometheus opens in 3D on June 8th.
Here’s the official synopsis for Prometheus:
Ridley Scott, director of “Alien” and “Blade Runner,” returns to the genre he helped define. With PROMETHEUS, he creates a groundbreaking mythology, in which a team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a thrilling journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race.

My name’s Dirk. I hate going to work
“Curiosity”, that’s the emotion.
Perhaps I am reading too much into this viral video, but there are two things about it that I wonder if they could be foreshadowing ominous plot points about David in the movie:
1. He cries when asked to “think” of the things that makes him “sad.”
2. The close-up of his right hand holding the pen (or stylus), which looks like it has an unusually sharp tip.
i enjoy Mr. Fassbender and the intent of this “advertisement” but felt it is wholly outside the tempo Prometheus has set. Perhaps the promotional onslaught is tipping the scale in the incorrect and slightly desperate direction when it certainly doesn’t need to.

I found it fascinating that he cried when talking about understanding human emotion, but not being able to emulate it.
He meant the actual emotion. But he can emulate the biological aspect, ie crying so he seem more human.
