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....

Yeah he has been a real brat when it comes to the sequels. He demanded so much money that they just didn't show his face (would have been a dummy head as they did not hire him) in the cryo-pod. You can find him and some others talking about this incident in one of the Alien3 extras on DvD. I will look for it and post if I can find it online. :)

With the mention of Hicks it struck me that there was no military related scenes in Prometheus...and 'Alien'....only beginning in the non RS 'Aliens'.. That would mean that will no Military coming to the rescue of Shaw/David that P2 and P3..that perhaps a 'Weyland' type company was responsible for the 'Engineers' development..no politics at all.. So the Prometheus storyline is about two developing companies(not species..or political parties) ..somehow connected..getting used to each other..without ending all of the known universe for either..
