The pieces begin to fall into place. Happy Birthday David is the latest viral for Weyland Industries, the fictional company in Ridley Scott's upcoming Prometheus. Not only do we get subtle hints at what may be coming in the story, we get our look at Michael Fassbender in action as David, an advanced 8th generation android who is a member of the Prometheus crew.
Prometheus takes place 30 years before Alien and on a first glance, David seems less developed emotionally and nearly child like compared to Ash and Bishop, the emotionless androids in the original Alien films. Perhaps certain events in Prometheus will explain why the later models were somewhat neutered in some sense? As a fan of a series these types of videos provide a fantastic back drop for what to expect from Ridley's return to the series. Prometheus is scheduled for US release on June 8th, 2012 through 20th Century Fox.
