Hey this is a question about the new AVP movie. It is something that I just noticed. If you have seen aliens 2 and 3 then you are familiar with the character "BISHOP." Played by Charles Bishop Weyland. Well he appears in the trailers for AVP. From what I can tell he is a high ranking official since he is the one giving the breifing on what was found under antartica. But I was told awhile back that this movie had nothing to do with the other aliens or predator movies especialy since it looks like it takes place a long time before the aliens movies. So my question is this, is it just some kind of coincidence? Or could it infact be that the character of the other movies was a clone of this very important person. I dont know, I was just wondering. Oh, here is a link for those of you who havent seen it. And for those of you who havent seen aliens, then well, I pitty you.

It probably isn't meant as anything special. Actors often work with the same directors. And even if the director changes, if it is part of their legacy they will get hired. Having worked on a previous Aliens movie would look damn good on the résumé, don't you think so?

True. I was just asking if there was any similarity in the characters.

The Bishop andriods from the Alien films were made to resemble the founder of the corporation who built them, the name of which escapes me at the moment. And the founder of corp., whos name I also forget, is the man you see in the AVP movie.

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

There's an explaination of it on the OXM Demo Disc for the August issue.

Charles Bishop Weyland made a fortune in robotics (surprise!). His company eventually started making androids, and in Aliens, you see him (played by the same character, of course). In the disc, the actor of him says that in Aliens time, they modeled BISHOP in his image, because he started it all.

This movie has a good chance of being great (as I didn't think before I saw the previews and mini-documentaries on the OXM disc)... I hope they don't screw it up.

[color=red]WAIT A MINUTE!!! Wasn't Bishop (The real Bishop) on Alien 3? So why is he in AvP?[/color]

He's not really in AvP... Read my previous post. It should clarify everything.

And only half of Bishop was in Alien 3. The rest of him was in Aliens :-D

Hehehehehehehehehehehehe

[color=red]No, I'm talking about the "Real" Bishop, not the andriod, at the last part, before Ripley jumps into the lava thing, she talked to Charles Bishop, the original one. So my point is, if Bishop was in the future (Alien 3) Then how is he in AvP (Present time)?[/color]

My favorite was with the one where that woman gets into a mech and says to the alien,"get away from my daughter,you son of a -blam!-."

That was Bishop? I think it might've been a different guy...

But I may be wrong... I haven't watched the full movie in years.
