Fox is marketing the Prometheus release with this promotional video, relying heavily on the assumption that the movie's many unresolved mysteries will be explained when you watch the bonus features and deleted scenes.

A new marketing video has been released, this one centering on the spacecraft that bears the title name of the picture:

Discovered and first posted over at the Prometheus message forums comes this interesting (and spoiler-ish) teaser poster for the movie.

Normally one wouldn't expect to see a Prometheus original content video on the website for Verizon, but there it is. The cellular company hosted a viral video titled "Quiet Eye" featuring Noomi Rapace as Dr. Elizabeth Shaw being interviewed in a Weyland company video.

The old school Alien fans will find it very interesting that the company name "Yutani" flashes on the screen before Shaw's interview begins. What does it mean?

And another Verizon video offers some new behind-the-scenes footage and interviews of the Prometheus cast members:

20th Century Fox released the first clip from Prometheus today. Titled "Prometheus has Landed", it shows us the descent of the vessel through the atmosphere of LV-223 and the indication of an artificial construct: "God does not build in straight lines."

The speculation over the MPAA rating for Prometheus has finally been settled, and the movie has been given an R classification by the Motion Picture Association of America for "sci-fi violence including some intense images, and brief language."

A new international trailer for Prometheus is out, and this one shows much more of the alien creatures than we've seen before.

Check out this short featurette about Prometheus that offers quick new snippets of new footage from the movie. Blink and you'll miss moments like the android David (Michael Fassbender) sitting at the control panel of a Space Jockey's ship and Vickers (Charlize Theron's character) ejecting from Prometheus.

Oh yeah, and Ridley Scott has some stuff to say about his movie, too.

Empire has posted a follow-up article to their Prometheus cover story/set visit. This new piece, titled "19 Things We've Learned About Prometheus" does reveal minor spoilers about places, people and incidents that happen during the film, and which fans of the Alien series will be giddy about. We're going to reveal one minor detail and not use the spoiler swipe because it's a minor (but still cool) piece of information that connects Prometheus to Aliens.

Empire learned that the planet the Prometheus ship visits is given the designation LV-223. Of course, fans of James Cameron's Aliens know that by the time the action in that film takes place, the planetoid where the Space Jockey ship was found is designated LV-426.

More minor spoilers can be learned by reading Empire's article.

In an exclusive interview with Empire magazine, Prometheus director Ridley Scott is asked whether his latest film will carry an R-rating (like the original Alien did) or if the rumors are true and the studio is demanding a PG-13 rating. The filmmaker dealt with the question in his own way and gave this answer:

"Right now I don’t know where we are. The question is, do you go for the PG-13, or do you go for what it should be, which is R? Financially it makes quite a difference, or the risk makes quite a difference, and yet you also have to apply the question — if you soften it, will you financially suffer? As opposed to just going for the throat and gambling. Essentially, it’s kinda R. The little bastards will still get in anyway, so what’s the difference? It’s not just about blood, it’s about ideas that are very stressful. I’m not an idiot, but I’ll do everything I can to get the most aggressive film I can."

Empire also has several new photos and interviews with the supporting cast members of Prometheus. Some new details about the crew members are given in the profiles.

A new TV ad for Prometheus has debuted. For the first time there's made mention that this is from the director of Alien:

And now there's a third new Prometheus trailer for you to watch, this one slated for international audiences. It has a different tone than the earlier North American and IMAX trailers, plus a small amount of new dialogue and footage not seen before.

A new viral video has been leaked online showing us one of Weyland Industries new products, the David 8 android. The voiceover is delivered by Michael Fassbender, the actor who portrays the David character in Prometheus.

The IMAX trailer for Prometheus is the first to arrive online.

A few hours after the IMAX trailer debuted on the web, now arrives the second full trailer for Ridley Scott's Prometheus.

If you watched the IMAX one and think that you've seen all of what the marketing team at 20th Century Fox wants to share about the movie, you're wrong. There are other new images in the second Prometheus trailer that aren't in the IMAX one -- including an incredibly brief, half-second look at what may be

Here it comes:
