Weird New Prometheus Viral Video

Since we’re now three months past Prometheus‘ theatrical release date, you wouldn’t expect new viral marketing to be popping up. Nevertheless, that’s precisely what’s happened today, courtesy of a mysterious new clip featuring Idris Elba. And while Prometheus left us with as many questions as answers, I don’t think the question on anyone’s mind was, “What does Idris Elba look like while being fitted for a spacesuit?”
The new viral clip, which was first posted over at HeyUGuys, is presumably to get people hyped up for the Blu-ray and DVD release of Prometheus on October 11th. And it’s going to do that by…uh…well, Idris looks pretty badass smoking a cigar, right? Yeah, I got nothing. Maybe the bizarre shapes and sounds leading up to the Idris footage are hinting at something yet to be revealed, but damned if I know what. Maybe they’re going to announce a new version of the film where the characters are less stupid. Do not pet the alien snake, people.
The video was accompanied by a new batch of stills that remind us of one thing: if nothing else, Prometheus sure does look pretty.
