Hello everyone. First post here. I searched but did not find a thread re possibility of additional backstory tidbits being released. I think we are in for some more tantalizing treats. Here's why. The TED video takes place in 2023, but is part of a 50 year celebration of Weyland Corp's founding ("50 Years of Building Better Worlds"). That puts the current Weyland Corp web site year at 2073. I bet additional backstory elements will pop up about what Weyland does (the man and the Corporation) and what the state of the world is circa 2073. What a great way to create interest. Thoughts?

Hiya Ralphie, welcome to the forum :-D and I have a feeling they will indeed be doing that, in fact did you have a look at some of the other videos on that site? Some very very interesting information to be gleaned from the ideas they are talking about........ You just have to read between the lines is all :-)

Agreed. Given Lindelof has been a TED participant for several years, I am sure he either directly or indirectly injected many TED topics into the script. Combine this with some of the themes Scott explored in Bladerunner, and this could be one helluva a great film.

I expect it will be at that. Now if only it were out! Or maybe they'll reconsider the March original release date and move it forward again :-P *wink wink nudge nudge*

Welcome to the community, Ralphie. I'm a newb here, too; I only joined a few days ago. Anyway, about your post, I'm also hoping we can expect more Weyland backstory. Honestly, there are few things in media (movies, TV, games, etc) that are as fascinating as backstory.....but given how secretive Prometheus still is, we can't expect anything new too soon. To me it would be reasonable if it's one thing per month, though I personally think those would be trying times. They've already got some good stuff going with Mr. Weyland's speech having premiered two days ago. Hopefully we can expect more in the near future.
