Prometheus

[Goaty]

Not big twist, [spoiler]but Guy Peace plays an entrepreneur called Peter Weyland.[/spoiler]

Also Ridley Scott says "Prometheus is a new film, a new world, and is full of new ideas. And of course new monsters as well."

Oh, and if your saving Prometheus for the cinema then dont watch.

[mygrimmbrother]

Woah, what was that? Was it just a long uninterrupted clip form the movie?

[Spikes]

In a nutshell, yes.

[mygrimmbrother]

Brilliant, cheers for that Judge Jack

Wow, that is brilliant clever marketing! You can see the website itself is all marketing about Peter Weyland! What a smart move!

My brain has melted. Is this what nerdgasm feels like? 
Now the question is, as Guy himself said his screentime only amounted to a couple of minutes, have we just witnessed his entire performance?

Clever. But if that's Weyland where's Yutani?

[Kowalsky (formerly JudgeGumpty)]

Very clever piece that. Thanks for sharing it.

Maybe not featured in it or film, there was Ms Yutani in AVP2, and Mr Weyland (the founder of the company) in AVP1. So they both became a long time company, as he announced his intent to build the first convincingly humanoid robotic system by the end of the decade. So the film would be many years later...?

Yes, i was thinking this is maybe set a good few years before the main action.
Think its safe to assume that Ridley Scott isnt remotely interested in using the AvP or AvPR version of events, regarding Weyland - and Yutani, in any way, shape or form. Thank Grud.

Are those films even classed as canon?
Either way, itll be his "how and why" thatll shape this film.

Empire says the TED video isn't film footage, it was directed by Ridley's son Luke.
