Fox has found some fun ways to show more of Ridley Scott‘s Prometheus beyond the standard trailers, clips, TV spots, and images. A mini-game recently revealed more images of the eponymous spaceship, there was Peter Weyland’s (Guy Pearce) chilling TED Talk from the year 2023, and a quick look at the android, David 8 (Michael Fassbender). The latest release from the viral campaign is a full, two-and-a-half minute ad for David, and it’s a perfect mixture of cool and creepy.
Hit the jump to check out the video. 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. Scott recently said that the cut you see in theaters will be the director’s cut and run a hair under two hours. [Update: We've added a poster ad for the David 8]
In addition, 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. Click here for more.

Thanks again Matt.
No whiney complaints from you Matt? It’s a miracle!!!!!!
he must have remembered to take his pills this morning
As if I needed any more reason to be excited for this film. Michael Fassbender is the man!
That hit all the right notes. Excellent campaign so far.
That is Art! Thanks Sir Ridley.
At least we now know the year the movie is roughly taking place in, 2078. I think the whole “sad” with the tears was the creepiest part…
Amazing…simply amazing.
I don’t give a damned what the Academy Awards snubbers say…Fassbender is one of the best actors of our generation.
Shame, Inglorious Basterds, & A Dangerous Method were his career bests…up until Prometheus.
This chapz golden!!!
powered by verizon?! Okay.
This is so deliciously creepy and unnerving. I love it. Brilliant video.
Great video for a movie, but Weyland Industries needs to fire their ad agency.
The strange thing about television is that it doesn’t “tell” you everything. It “shows” you everything about life for nothing, but the true mysteries remain. Perhaps it’s in the true nature of television. Just waves in space.
Does anyone else feel like we just flew forward in time a little bit?
Turn the volume up.
This is the type of filmmaking that we’ve been missing… and it’s not even the film.
Totally creeps me out. Brilliant.
Amidst all the superhero orgazma this summer, this could be the smartest movie of them all. It’s super intriguing…
Is he (Fassbender) going to be like that thru the whole movie?
Way creepy! Prometheus will be great.
