Ridley Scott and the young Peter Weyland

Scott talks about a preview scene that was not carried out in the Prometheus project, I just read it and find it very interesting. October 12, 2012 [b] Among the commentary's other insights is Scott's explanation for casting Guy Pearce as a 96-year old man. Because of the way cryogenic sleep is portrayed in the film, Scott imagines a world wherein crew members are provided mental exercises to keep their brains from atrophying. A scene was planned and never shot that would have seen a younger Peter Weyland.[/b] [i]"I had every intention of showing him as a younger man on board the super yacht in the cyber-Mediterranean with a lot of cyber-girls," Scott says. "As if he was going to say, at 96, 'If I'm going to into a cyber-sleep and I can select that sleep, I may as well be in my prime at 42 with some super-girls having a jolly good time and doing it for two and half years.'"[/i] [url=http://www.bladerunner2-movie.com/news/398]Original posted on BR 2[/url] [url=http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=95853]Source: comingsoon.net[/url]
