Peter Dinklage ~ The Station Agent

The Station Agent is an indie  film I probably would not have ever seen if it weren’t for Peter Dinkage (Wikipedia, IMDB). Actor Peter Dinklage currently stars in the HBO series Game of Thrones  where he plays a dwarf noble, Tyrion Lannister, who relies on his wits to navigate the perils of a sister who hates him and a populace that dismisses him. It’s a great role that Dinklage plays with such authenticity.

Peter Weyland ~ TED Talk 2023

Prometheus is Ridley Scott’s new film due out the summer of 2012. Rumors abound that it’s an extension of the Blader Runner or Alien franchises, but apparently Ridley Scott himself set those rumors straight. The only connection to those two films and Prometheus is the dystopian vision that corporations will rule the world, and the name Weyland, of Weyland-Yutani in Alien, the corporation that sent out the Nostromo.

In his TED Talk of 2023, Peter Weyland, played by Guy Pierce, introduces himself to us…and provides a tremendous teaser for the film. Great Scott! What good marketing!
