Just thought I'd throw this into the hat & have some fun! In one of the videos with Lindelof (where they are being asked questions by an audience, can't remember the link! SORRY) Lindelof asks Ridley if he is Charles Weyland. Ridley replies "Possibly". Do you think there's any possibility that Ridley makes a 'cameo' appearance ala Hitchcock?

An AWESOME idea....but having watched Ridley for a very long time I'd have to say he would probably think it to be a distraction...breaking the 4th wall

he has an equal sized ego...I like Ridley but he seems very arrogant and cocksure...qualities needed to get ahead in life I guess

IMO, at this point in his career he cannot afford Not to be that way.

I believe this "possibly" comment by RS to indicate that RS imagines Peter Weyland as a nightmare version of himself... RS is seventy-four years old; of course, he looks not a day past sixty, but it is still an age when mortality becomes a topic for frequent thought. My guess is that Scott asks himself something like: OK, say if I were searching for immortality myself , and did it in the wrongest way imaginable, what would it look like? And thus he creates Peter Weyland. I'm sure he looks hard at himself both for positive and for negative characters, in all his movies - that is why they are all so convincing, and not merely cardboard as happens too often in SF by others. And he is usually not above making some discreet yet neat jokes at his own expense (Skerritt as Dallas did look more than a little like Scott did at that age). This time around, it appears Lindelof physically modelled Milburn after himself... so Weyland would be the perfect vehicle for some good ole private jokes at RS's own expense.

Sir Ridley making a cameo in this movie would be wicked. But him as Mr. Weyland? I doubt it. Guy Pearce already has the role, and I'm sure that, assuming that old bald guy is him, they just put make-up on him.
