First we had Peter Weyland’s TED talk, expertly delivered by Guy Pearce. Now we have the David 8 commercial, where we get introduced to Michael Fassbender‘s android character (or at least a version of).

A second website has also been launched – Project Prometheus. Although it has nothing on it at the moment, expect there to be plenty soon; and for it to compliment the Weyland Industires website content, on which Project Prometheus is mentioned.

I’m already looking forward to the next piece of Prometheus‘ viral. It’s been brilliant to date.

Here’s the commercial:
