(UPDATE) Walter, the newest member of the Weyland-Yutani family

Walter has one very strange accent. It's the pronounciation which appears odd. Very clipped Anglo-American? I've been trying to place it, in filmic terms, since the trailers etc came out.

I wonder which movies Ridley had Fassbender study this time round? David's 'personality', look and accent were influenced by Peter O'Toole's Lawrence, but Ridley also had him study Joseph Losey's The Servant.

Dirk Bogard's duplicitous character from the latter movie seemed to be another influence on David's behaviour and motive.

Be very interesting to find out from MF or Ridley where that accent was birthed, because it will have relevance!

Can't wait to see the David-Walter dynamic in action!

@Lone indeed!

Anybody else get some faint erotic vibes from that clip? XD 

No? :)

Err....I'm out of here then.

*shrinks to cat size, quietly sneaks away as if nothing happened* 

@Lone, that's just the way Fassbender's American accent sounds. He used the same one in the movie Frank. Fassbender in Frank

Lols @Neo!

Svanya thanks!

I have seen Frank, but had totally forgotten about it, knew I had heard the accent somewhere!

Oh boy, I hope there's a better reason for it sounding so odd! 

Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.. (For you youngsters The Who!)

Indeed sounds a bit like

Sound robotic imo

As far as I'm concerned David and Walter are the most important characters in the new Alien universe. Not in the background like bishop and up front like Ash. They bring the gravitas(no pun) to the screen. Xenomorphs excluded. 

Good Health

Wait....I can see Shaw reflected in his eye! LOL

Any chance David experiments on him or he gets infected with the black goo and that's why the Alien is bio-mech?

Meet Walter:
