We’ve all seen product placement on TV, or movies like Tower Heist that insert real-world newspeople like Matt Lauer covering the Thanksgiving Day Parade in order to lend it some verisimilitude. An interesting twist on these ideas is a scene from Ridley Scott’s forthcoming Prometheus sci-fi flick, which depicts a TED Talk—from the year 2023, starring Guy Pearce.
Prometheus, by the way, is a sort of prequel to the Alien franchise, inhabiting that series’ universe, that will reportedly explain how some of the events depicted in the first Alien movie came to pass.
