I apologize if someone already mentioned this, but there is a lengthy discussion with Lindelof about the writing/filming of the Weyland speech/video. It is a very interesting read and it answers some of the questions tat I see people posting.

Yes it's a good piece about the guy who put the video concept together. We don't really learn much about the Weyland character though - except that he has a huge ego... Thx for the link!

True, but I enjoyed hearing his thoughts on where Ridley was trying to go with the film. Striking a tone between Alien and Blade Runner; exploring ideas, while keeping it entertaining...it is nice to hear that they are trying to achieve a nice balance.

And by the Force did he seem like a douche at the end, just the look on his face. Gave me chills, it did :-P brilliant marketing!

I love that remark: "In really, really good science fiction the line between the science and the fiction is blurry." That'll do fer me tommy.
