And now for a WTF moment -
Wait...
Hold your breath...
Okay, here we go...
Prometheus shares a link with...
(nobody would have guessed it)
(although fans might have a faint stirring of this)
BLADE RUNNER!!!

Apparently, included as part of the U.K. steelbook release of "Prometheus," a pretty interesting easter egg can be found (see below). In short, it's a memo from Peter Weyland that seems to suggest that his mentor was none other than Eldon Tyrell.
As you know, he was the head of the Tyrell Corporation in "Blade Runner" who created the false memory replicants in the film.
And the references in the memo of this unnamed man looking out from a "pyramid" in the "City Of Angels" make it pretty obvious what this is all about.

Yes, a big WHOA! moment for all fans of both franchises, including yours truly, who is still trying to gather his jaw from the floor.
Cheap one-time publicity gimmick, or adding up to something more? Your guess is as good as mine.
