First off, Happy Independence Day to all of you followers in the US!

So, as you may have noticed, I haven’t posted for a while. It has become quite quiet with news, apart from the fact that SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON is NEXT WEEK, so Investors should keep tabs on http://www.projectprometheus.com/sdcc/ over the next few days for more info about what exactly Weyland Corp are planning to do there.

But first, I would like to present a FULL RECAP of the viral campaign for Prometheus. As you can see, it isn’t over yet, and will probably carry on into the DVD/Blu-ray release, and also potential sequels…
