Weyland Continues Recruiting at Comic-Con + Another Viral Video

"Cut it off!" It ain't over yet. Another new video from Weyland Industries has popped up online, sent out today and posted via YouTube with a new website linked to Comic-Con coming up in just a few weeks. This one features a new Weyland hire, an employee named Jamie Rossi, a "nanotechnologist in the biomedical field office on Luna." She talks about her job and how wonderful it is, and there's random freaky clips of Prometheus spliced in. But at the end it points out a new link and show what this is all about - a tease that the viral will continue with "recruiting" at the San Diego Comic-Con 2012, coming up in July. See below!

The new video can be seen right below, but in the meantime you can check out the new viral website at projectprometheus.com/sdcc/. It still only states "details coming soon" so we'll have to follow-up for more:

Although Prometheus is now playing in theaters, the Weyland viral has continued on. A few weeks ago we wrote about the website and Peter Weyland video linked at the end of the credits, now this continues things once again. We'll see you at Comic-Con! We'll update along the way if needs be. Anyone going to be there?

Prometheus is directed by legendary Oscar nominated filmmaker Ridley Scott, who started it all with Alien and Blade Runner, also directing Thelma & Louise, Gladiator, Black Hawk Down, Kingdom of Heaven, American Gangster, Body of Lies and Robin Hood most recently. The screenplay was originally written by Jon Spaihts (The Darkest Hour), then updated by Damon Lindelof of "Lost" and Cowboys & Aliens, Star Trek 2. Fox released Prometheus in theaters in 3D on June 8th earlier this summer. Visit Weyland Corp.

Trailer for Part 2 that was filmed back to back with Prometheus? Shown at Comic con?
- hi hello
  
  would be freaking amazing if that was the case. a 2013 release !!
  - REAL6
    
    I really hope this is the case. But that's just my thoughts on it
    - Jericho
      
      no one would see it coming since we have only been following on Prometheus the Rildey could easily hide a sequel in development...
      - give it a brake will ya
        
        It would be cool,but I doubt they would do that considering the money involved.Don't think any of studio heads have the balls to risk such a huge investment on a surprise.They are probably going to overhype the sequel too.

pfft...they should recruit better writers, and not bullshit around with these post-release virals.
- hi hello
  
  its actually kinda cool to me. Imagine they release a new video every 6 months. until the sequel is released.
  - Wolffsrain
    
    And then what? After all these awesome viral and previews we end up having to deal with a crappy film?
hi hello

A sequel in 2014 would be freaking AWESOME!!! But I think it will be just some info on the extended edition instead. Hopefully it adds 30+ minutes into the film!!
