“Prometheus” Viral: Weyland Industries Studies Noomi Rapace’s Face Michael Lee, May 16, 2012May 19, 2012 Amidst of all the spoilery Prometheus TV spots and trailers, there lies a viral campaign that is being used lightly but quite effectively.

But check out the video for yourself, and don’t worry, there is no need to warn you about any spoilers, because from the looks of it, there aren’t any.Prometheus opens in theaters on June 8th.
