Lance Henriksen ringside for ALIEN VS PREDATOR

[Khephra]

Actor Lance Henriksen, who portrayed the android Bishop in ALIENS and then Bishop's human creator in ALIEN 3, is getting another face-to-face encounter with the extraterrestrial bugs. Henriksen is the first to be cast in Paul Anderson's ALIEN VS. PREDATOR movie.

As far as can be discerned, the character that Henriksen will play in ALIEN VS. PREDATOR will not be connected to Bishop in any way. Instead, Henriksen is playing billionaire industrialist Charles Weyland, the man who assembles the team to investigate the strange subterranean structure discovered in the frozen wastes of Antarctica. Our own sources have told us that Weyland is indeed one of the founders of the Weyland-Yutani conglomerate, the company that owned the Nostromo seen in ALIEN, the colony on LV-426 in ALIENS and the prison facility from ALIEN 3. It's likely that the seeds of the Weyland-Yutani corporation, as well as their interest in the Alien lifeform, will be laid in Anderson's film.
