As anyone who follows films closely will know ahead of all big film release comes some clever marketing material and today it’s the turn of Ridley Scott’s Prometheus to jump on the viral band wagon.

The video above isn’t to be confused with footage from the film as it has been made entirely for the purposes of marketing after the idea was conceived by Scott, Damon Lindelof  and directed by Scott’s son Luke. Set way in the future, 2023 to be precise the promo Guy Pearce’s character Peter Weyland’s giving a TED talk (a series of talks aimed at represents ideas from people in the worlds of technology, design and entertainment) about the history of the Prometheus legend.

It’s a clever way of doing things, the video summarises what Prometheus is all about without giving any spoilers away, something Scott and co have been careful not to do throughout the build up to the films release.

Prometheus stars Michael Fassbender, Noomi Repace, Charlize Theron, Patrick Wilson and of course Pearce and is set for release on 1st June.
