I believe this clip is from Covenant audio commentary by Scott. I wish I could read Covenant 2 draft/script.

Never bothered me Guy being in old man make up, just great having an actor like him in this franchise.
He played a convincing old man in my opinion as I think he had just finished making another film called "Lockout" and he was ripped in it.
I really wish they filmed that yacht scene though, would have looked great. But we get young Peter in Covenant so it all worked out in the end.

Don't think this demanded a full thread of its own, but Guy Pearce (as he's doing his promo rounds for The Brutalist) talks a little bit about Prometheus here:

Who was more fun to play, Peter Weyland in "Prometheus" or Aldrich Killian in "Iron Man 3"?

I think Aldrich Killian was probably more fun. I mean, Peter Weyland was hard work because I was literally wearing an exoskeleton and five hours of prosthetic makeup.

Did you know what the hell was happening in "Prometheus"?

I think the movie is brilliant, but I'll say, if you don't get what's happening in the first five minutes then you're lost for the rest of the movie. And I had the benefit of listening to Ridley [Scott] talk about it before we started shooting.

I loved it, but it was a tough experience physically. I couldn't sit down because of this metal frame thing. So between shots they would just lean me against the wall.

But with both of those roles, them being on big Hollywood movies, by then, I had a big rethink about how to function. Aldrich and "Iron Man 3" was an opportunity to kind of dip my foot back into the water of the studio world. The pressure isn't on me. It's a good character. So I got to do what I want to do in that world.

Absolutely based Guy dabbing on prequel haters

He's a good Guy.

For those of us already doing Alien rpg shit before Gaska et al showed up, Prometheus was an enjoyable if imperfect film but the brightest palette to paint with and for that alone I'll always love it.
