Weyland as Idol?

Don't know about the head, but Guy Pearce' slicked hairstyle looks a lot like John Glen's Jack Crawford character in 'Silence of the Lambs'. There's also an 80's future corporate look to him too al la Max Headroom/Patrick Bateman which I find to be a nice touch.

No, he is not. NOONE EVER THINKS ABOUT YUTANI!!!!!!!!! It's always, ''Wayland this,'' and ''Wayland that,''. Does noone care about Yutani?!?!?!?!?! Her only appearence was in avp2

Maybe the 'xenos' care about yutani?

@Xenokiller3 Maybe you're anal, but you're also right. Where is Mr. Yutani in all of this? Then again, maybe it was just Weyland in 2023 and Yutani comes along later? I say this because there is no hint of Yutani until Aliens, at least from what we've seen so far in the Prometheus footage at hand. Of course, I could also be wrong :)

Didn't anyone realize he sounds an awful lot like John Hurt from Alien? Almost like Kane was related to Weyland.

@darkgrafix - yes! I don't know Pearce's nationality, but he has put on a wonderful gravelly British voice down to a bloody T - just like John Hurts hypnotic voice. What a superb slice of rhetoric he gives there.

Guy is from Australia... What is Scott is just keeping to Weyland and not doing the Yutani combo? Spaiths did say yesterday in a tweet they were keeping some parts of the canon and not using other parts because it has nothing to do with the story...

I think Yutani isn't mentioned all because they don't want to make any slight hints to AVP or AVP-R, because despite those movies' canonical contributions, what stands out more about them is the fact that they just sucked (though I've not had the chance to see AVP-R; I may see it if I'm extremely bored).
