Garbled “Prometheus” Phone Message Could Have Clues To “10.11.12” Dan Koelsch, July 17, 2012 On Friday, we showed you pictures of the Weyland group at Comic-Con with an Engineer. The Prometheus viral campaign seems to be going strong even after the film’s release. The badges handed out just directed you to go to the ID page of Project Prometheus, which hasn’t changed since we first reported on it. However, the message you get when you call the number is a bit more interesting. Details after the break. The phone number is the same one (**99395263) that was sent to those that have signed up for emails from Weyland Industries. You immediately get the following message.The automated operator tries to connect you to Prometheus, and you get a bunch of garbled static. It sounds like something demonic is trying to talk to you (maybe an Engineer), but so far I can’t make anything out. Let us know if you can figure anything out from that audio, as it may be a clue to details on a sequel (as the popular theory goes) or the mysterious date of October 11, 2012 (10.11.12). I’m thinking the latter, and I hope it’s not something silly like the DVD release date.Prometheus is in theaters now. ARGs & Campaigns Viral Marketing Comic-ConPrometheusWeyland Industries
