Peter Weyland as Played By Guy Pearce Seems a Bit Weak to Me.

For somebody that could start and run a such a large company and even spearhead a 1 trillion dollar space mission, he seems like a bit of a fizzle.  I'm not sure that Pearce was/is the right actor for the role.

Originally, Sir Ridley preferred Rutger Hauer or Max Von Sydow for the role.  I think that these men have an intensity and presence that Pearce cannot exude.

Who else might have fit the bill?

Weyland never was very interesting in Prometheus, I didn’t care for that character. Unfortunately, he was very weak written as with other characters. The script was probably a bigger problem compared to his skill. One thing that could have improved his character in Prometheus is if they would have kept some of the TED talk in it because it explained his character a lot better.

 

I haven’t seen Pearce in many roles so I can not comment on his acting ability. Maybe I shall try to watch some of the movies that he is in to see more about that.

 

Weyland could return in some way, I wouldn’t mind it if they make the character more interesting and makes sense of him. If they plan to portray in the way they have done this far they might as well never feature Weyland again.
