I was reading a movie plot where Michael Biehn plays the main charactor, the movie is called The Divided, anyway I went to wiki to read his bio and came across this, thought I’d copy and paste here:
In an early draft of 1. Alien 3 written by William Gibson, Biehn's character Hicks (who had survived the events of Aliens) was to become the main protagonist, replacing Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver).[5] However, Walter Hill and David Giler penned the final script, which had Hicks killed off in the opening scene. Biehn, upon learning of his character's demise, demanded and received almost as much money for the use of his likeness in one scene as he had been paid for his role in Aliens.
Greed, perhaps he should have played the role of Peter Weyland
I should reach the frontier in about 6 weeks. With a little luck, the network will pick me up. This is Ripley, last survivor of the Nostromo....
