XENOMORPH TIMELINE
TED Conference, 2023 is a short film released in 2012. Its story takes place in 2023, 70 years before Prometheus (2093). In the Alien movies timeline, it comes before Weyland Industries Testimonial (around 2075).
The Weyland Industries viral website dated the talk February 28, 2023, and in the film Weyland says the year is 2023.
This short film, known as "The Peter Weyland Files: TED Conference, 2023," was directed by Luke Scott, written by Damon Lindelof and conceived by Ridley Scott and Damon Lindelof. In the talk, Weyland, the ambitious CEO of Weyland Corporation, outlines his vision for the future, discussing advanced technologies and human potential. The talk sets the stage for the events of Prometheus: Weyland compares mankind to gods and complains that rules and regulations are holding its technology back.
Guy Pearce plays a younger version of Peter Weyland, his character in Prometheus. The talk was released on the TED website on February 28, 2012, as part of 20th Century Fox's viral campaign for the film, and the complete short was later included on the Prometheus Blu-ray.
In 2023, a young Peter Weyland gives a talk at the TED conference and promises to change the world.
