I was wondering why Guy Pearce would be cast as Peter Weyland instead of an actual 'old' actor... He was great in the Ted Talk, but we never saw him young in Prometheus. Some suggest that he indeed had some screens that were cut where we would have seen him young...and he was already signed prior to those cuts. But doesn't it seem like a strange choice to put Guy in make-up like that? Not so weird if his character ties in with Bladerunner I guess. Has this already been worked out in another thread? Bladerunner - 2019 Prometheus - 2093 Michael Fassbender said he studied the replicants from Bladerunner in preparation for his role as David 8. So...is RS about to bridge the gap?

intersting theory, we shall see... hope it's a good bridge if they plan on developing that. Nice avatar by the way, adore Sunshine.

Thanks Freeze! I agree. It would have to be an epic bridge to satisfy all the fans of each franchise....but it appears to be ripe for the picking. Ted Talk with Peter Weyland - 2023 This is soooo happening!!

They have to bridge the gap so they can then connect to Terminator so we can have T-800s cleaning out Alien hives with Predator speed bumps along the way. Maybe that is what Shaw will eventually stumble into if she returns to Earth after 200 years in cryosleep? Seriously, though, sending replicants to deal with Aliens seems like a (no brainer) conclusion to which Weyland-Yutani would/will eventually arrive.
