Director Ridley Scott has revealed more
about Guy Pearce's role in Prometheus, the upcoming Ancient-Astronaut-inspired prequel to Scott’s
own sci-fi classic, Alien.
Scott told Hungarian news outlet, Mozinezo:"When the first Alien
movie and Blade Runner were made, I thought that in the near
future the world will be owned by large companies. This is why we have the
Tyrell Corporation in Blade Runner, and Weyland-Yutani
in Alien. They sent the Nostromo spaceship.
The Prometheus is owned by an entrepreneur called Peter Weyland, and is played by Guy Pearce. That’s the connection between the two films, and nothing more. Prometheus is a new film, a new world, and is full of new ideas. And of course new monsters as well."*

But Scott is a big fat liar – his pants
assuredly on fire – because the character of Peter Weyland is most certainly
not the only connection between Alien and Prometheus, as was revealed
recently by a tantalising image from the upcoming movie
published in The Los Angeles
Times.
Prometheus
