Prometheus Transmission is a 2012 short film directed by Johnny Hardstaff[1] and starring Noomi Rapace, Idris Elba, Logan Marshall-Green and Michael Fassbender. Created exclusively for the home video release of Prometheus, the film takes the form of a "greeting" transmission prepared for the Prometheus mission, designed to be transmitted ahead of the ship's arrival at LV-223 in order to prepare any potential alien life forms inhabiting the moon for first contact with the ship's human crew.
Plot[]
The transmission consists primarily of examples of human culture and knowledge, including geometric renderings, language data, mathematical formulae, footage of various Earth environments and examples of music, art, fashion, technology, dance and social cultures from around the planet and across human history. Interspersed with these more abstract clips is footage of several members of the Prometheus crew preparing for their mission into deep space, either being fitted for their space suits or undergoing rigorous physical training. Among the crew featured are Captain Janek, who is generally disinterested and belligerent, Charlie Holloway, who is cocky and eager to get underway, and David, who is efficient and brief. The video also includes a message from Elizabeth Shaw, who extends a personal greeting the Engineers she hopes will be receiving the transmission and shares her desire to establish contact with extraterrestrial life.
