I asked a question that was obvious now something that had/has been discussed into infinity. So, I am just clarifying, I have watched the trailer, and this was my first post, so I haven't had time to know that it was a topic talked to death. Just wanted to know everyones thought on the AAT.

Some good points being expressed here, @Tkfanboy421(Face-Hugger it, Haha:), But lets get back to why we are really here, PROMETHEUS, and let me tell you all i have never been so excited about a movie in a long long time, after AVP promised so much and delivered so little, i think Sir Ridley is gonna knock it out of the park with this one!

Correction. If you look at the computers in Alien, you will see the name Weylan on them and in some of the readouts. That's the original spelling of the name. The name "Weylan-Yutani"was created by Ron Cobb, one of the designers of the Nostromo and its crew's uniforms. “ One of the things I enjoyed most about Alien was its subtle satirical content. Science fiction films offer golden opportunities to throw in little scraps of information that suggest enormous changes in the world. There's a certain potency in those kinds of remarks. Weylan Yutani for instance is almost a joke, but not quite. I wanted to imply that poor old England is back on its feet and has united with the Japanese, who have taken over the building of spaceships the same way they have now with cars and supertankers. In coming up with a strange company name I thought of British Leyland and Toyota, but we couldn't use "Leyland-Toyota" in the film. Changing one letter gave me "Weylan," and "Yutani" was a Japanese neighbor of mine. ” —Ron Cobb, "The Authorized Portfolio of Crew Insignias from The United States Commercial Spaceship Nostromo Designs and Realizations" by John Mollo and Ron Cobb The original spelling of the Company's name was Weylan Yutani (note that there was no D in the name). At no time in Alien nor in the portfolio was the name of the Company spelled with a D. This was changed to "Weyland-Yutani" in Aliens.
