Peter Weller joining the cast of ALIEN VS. PREDATOR?

Source:  Air Force Times
Alien vs. Predator: According to a scooper over at Ain't It Cool News, Peter Weller, best known for his portrayal of Detroit City cyborg, Robocop, may well be appearing in the highly anticipated sci-fi film, Alien vs. Predator. Take a look...

Peter Weller (RoboCop) will be making a brief appearance as billionaire industrialist "John Yutani" opposite Lance Henriksen "Charles Weyland," CO-owners of the greedy corporation in the Alien universe palpably named Weyland-Yutani. Weller (Yutani), who plays Weyland's darker half, will be the person who influences Henriksen's "Weyland" character to take part in the latest archeological dig in a strategic move to gain full control of the company. While not knowing of the imminent danger his associate is yet to encounter, Yutani knows of Weyland's ailing heart condition and means to benefit from his partner's untimely demise by sending along a company assassin. What bothers me some is the similarity from both the first RoboCop and Alien movie dealing with the rather cliche corruption bit, but this is merely supposed to be a precursor. Here's to hoping Anderson doesn't park this flick in the rehash zone for too long.
