Weyland-Yutani
Weyland-Yutani is a memorable fictional corporation that forms an essential part of the setting of the
Alien movie, its sequels and other works set in the same universe. The corporation runs the human colonies outside the solar system, and also has a large presence on Earth. It is only ever referred to as
the company, and except for a brief scene in the director's cut version of
Aliens, the name Weyland-Yutani is not shown prominently. However, the name did appear in the scripts and on movie props, and could be deciphered on-screen in
Aliens and
Alien 3, and that is how it was found out by fans of the franchise.
