This will be short.
Prometheus' marketing campaign is ingenious. These neat, well-shot, well-acted viral clips effortlessly transport us to Ridley Scott's brave new world. What a brilliant way to entice an audience!? Scott doesn't bother with clips FROM the film - that's for the masses of directors - he gives us a raw look at this futuristic world, and provokes us to consider the social implications. The implications become intensely frightening as we realise their relevance to our society , dear god, this is Bladerunner all over again. BRAVO!
The first clip is Guy Pearce's compelling, playing god speech. Good luck to him, because we all know how THAT turns out in Bladerunner.

The second one, my personal favourite, is Michael Fassbender's robotic/robots advertisement. Is there anything he can't do? After having seen SHAME, my response is an ear piercing NO!

P.S. I love Carey Mulligan. Period. It's not random, she was considered for the heroine role... I'm sure the ORIGINAL girl with the dragon tattoo will be delightful.
