Happy Birthday David 8

 

After viewing this last night I decided it was too awesome and creepy to keep to myself.  This is the latest in a series of online viral marketing campaign shorts for the film Prometheus…a Ridley Scott prequel if you will to his masterpiece Alien. In it, Michael Fassbender brilliantly portrays David 8, the latest generation of AI humanoids created by a fictional Weyland Industries capable of feeling a wide array of human characteristics most importantly, emotions.  In light of the June release of this film, these videos are sprouting up strategically as a means to bring attention to a sci-fi film with a history that this latest generation of millenials is most likely not aware of…surely a recipe for marketing gold.

enjoy.
